Fitch''s expression was icy as he brushed past Mr. Colby without a word, his strides decisive as he headed for the exit.
Mr. Colby, initially trembling in fear, brightened up at the sight of Fitch''s unwavering exit. The rumors must be true then; Mr.
Haskins had a disdain for Zoey, the woman who shamelessly threw herself into men''s beds.
Was she trying to y the innocent here, looking down on his status? How amusing.
A few steps forward, Fitch paused to light a cigarette when he heard Zoey''s voice pierce through the stillness.
"Get off me, why did you close the door?! Don''t touch me!"
"Quit the act! How much do you want? I''ll pay."
The bathroom door had been locked from the inside, muffling the voices within. Fitch froze as if struck by a spell, tossing his
freshly lit cigarette into the nearby trash and turning back.
Zoey was pinned against the washstand, her coat yanked down. Sweat dripped from her forehead due to her fierce struggle, her
voice intermittent, "I''ll definitely sue you."
"After you''ve had your fun, you won''t want to sue me, sweetheart," Mr. Colby adored her looks and smirked triumphantly at the
thought.
Just as he was about to peel off Zoey''s pants, the door behind him exploded open with a kick, crashing onto his back and nearly
knocking the wind out of him.
Mr. Colby, belt undone with his cks hanging low, went pale at the sight of the man at the door.
"Mr. Haskins."
Hadn''t he left? Why was he back?
Zoey, propped against the washstand, felt her legs weaken. Her gaze was unfocused, unable to form a clear picture, only
registering Mr. Colby''s shouts for Mr. Haskins. Which Mr. Haskins was it?
Her mind was a mess, incapable of coherent thought.
Fitch, seeing her flushed and feeble against the washstand, felt a surge of anger. He swung his foot at Mr. Colby, who stumbled
back, unable to dodge, and took a solid blow to the chest. Spitting out blood, he copsed against the wall, his legs shaking
uncontrobly.
Fitch turned to Zoey. She was dressed lightly, but the hotel''s heating kept the chill at bay. Her coaty on the floor, and she
seemed thinner, her face notably slender.
He grabbed her in one swift motion. Zoey, unsteady on her feet, bumped her nose against his chest.
He was tall, cloaked in a dark trench coat, lifting her with ease. Before she could react, she was hoisted over his shoulder.
Her stomach churned under the pressure, nausea rising, yet nothing came out. She hadn''t eaten in days, having only sipped
some wine at dinner.
Fitch had no sympathy for women, hearing her shaky plea, "I feel sick; put me down, please!"
Her legs iled, leaving footprints on his trench coat.
Outside the hotel, the cold air made her shiver violently. Fitch set her down. Her legs weak, she clung to his arm for support.
"So cold," she chattered, her teeth cking together.
The cold was biting, her undeyers far too thin for the harsh weather, though they did tter her figure.
Fitch pushed her hand away, but seeing her sway, he pulled her back.Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.

Her trembling fingers searched his waist, and her icy hand eventually snuck into the small of his back, seeking his warmth.

Looking down, he saw Zoey burrowed into his chest, her body still quaking. Now close to the heat, her shivering slightly
subsided.
