Chapter 265


    The hotel staff was perplexed to see ric and Terrance and questioned warily, “You


    are?”


    Terrance pointed at himself and answered, “I was the one who called earlier and


    ordered in my friend’s stead. She’s in the opposite room.”


    The hotel staff immediately made a face of understanding and nodded.


    “Oh, okay. But it seems your friend isn’t around. No one came to the door even after I


    pressed the bell a few times.”


    The hotel staff asked carefully, “Why don’t you make a call to check if she’s still inside?”


    So, ric looked at Terrance. “Call her.”


    Terrance whipped out his phone to call Victoria. At first, he didn’t think that she would


    answer, but she did very quickly.


    “Mr. Levane.” Victoria’s voice didn’t sound like she was woken up from slumber. So,


    shouldn’t be sleeping at that moment. But why didn’t she open the door when the


    doorbell rang?


    she


    “Miss Selwyn, are you awake?”


    Victoria sat in the bustling lounge with the phone to her ear. She pursed her lips before


    sighing.


    “Miss Selwyn, if you are, please open the door. Mr. Cadogan and I ordered food for you.”


    Terrance’s voice was filled with apprehension and a clear desire to please.


    Up to this point, Victoria couldn’t help but sigh again as she murmured, “It’s alright, Mr.


    Levane. I’m sorry for the inconvenience but I’ve already left.”


    “Huh?” Terrance looked a little lost and confused at her words. “Miss Selwyn, you-”


    But before he could finish his sentence, ric took his phone.


    Just as ric put the phone to his ear, he heard Victoria’s voice, “I’m at the airport going


    back to Jasea. Please inform ric about this.”


    His face instantly turned dark at that. “What did you say?”


    The sudden change of tone stunned Victoria before she realized why Terrance’s voice


    was suddenly cut off. It was because ric had taken his phone yet again.


    She calmed down and answered lightly, “Didn’t you hear me? Then, that’s great. It


    Chapter 265 You Think I Can’t Do Anything About Yo


    seems that Terrance wouldn’t need to tell you instead.”


    ric’s eyes were as cold as ice. “What is the meaning of this, Victoria?”


    0 100%


    “Nothing. Did you forget this was a deal? I told you yesterday in the hospital, this was


    only a contract. Now that I’ve seen Grandma, I’ll be returning to Jasea since I do have


    business to attend to there.”


    ric sneered, “Did you say you’re not feeling well and wanted to rest?”


    “Yes. I rested for 20 minutes. Is there a problem?”


    After she hung up the phone, she bought the earliest ne ticket to Jasea and packed


    her stuff after resting for 20 minutes.


    ric was speechless at her retort. It wasn’t that he couldn’t, but he was infuriated by


    her attitude and was at a loss for what to say.


    He gritted his teeth and hissed through clenched teeth, “Wait for me there.”

    However, Victoria smirked and drawled nonchntly, “I’m sorry, Mr. Cadogan. I can’t.


    I’ve already passed through security and the ne’s about to take off. You won’t make it


    even if you hurry over now.”

    ric didn’t speak, but his hands gradually tightened on the phone as his temper red.


    “Victoria, do you think that I can’t do anything about you after you’re in Jasea?”


    “What are you saying, Mr. Cadogan? I’m only returning to Jasea for work. Is there a


    problem?”


    After a long silence, ric chuckled lowly before replying, “Sure. There isn’t one. Then,


    you should return to Jasea and wait for me there.”


    The fake smile on Victoria’s face almost fell from her face. “Sure. I’ll wait for your


    arrival.” Then, she hung up as the smile on her face disappeared entirely.


    After that, she put her phone away and picked up her hand-carry luggage before


    walking toward the boarding gate. On the other hand, ric returned the phone to


    Terrance.


    Terrance took a look and realized the phone call had ended. He inhaled deeply as he


    recalled what he heard just now and carefully inquired, “Mr. Cadogan, did Miss Selwyn


    go to the airport already?”


    ric didn’t answer, but his gloomy face was a telltale sign as it were.


    “Then… what should we do now?”


    Chapter 265 You Think I Can’t Do Anything About Yo


    ric nced at him. “Return to the office.”

    Then, he entered the hotel room without another word. Terrance wanted to follow after


    him but remembered the hotel staff was still waiting for their response. So, he


    exined, “We don’t want the food anymore. You can share it with the staff. The person


    in the room has already checked out.” Then, he hurriedly ran after ric.


    The hotel staff was rooted to the spot for a good while before realizing what Terrance


    meant and his eyes widened in delight.


    In Jasea, Victoria had just gotten off the ne when Henry called her.


    “Miss Selwyn, I’m waiting for you at the arrival gate. I see that your ne hasnded.”


    Victoria replied, “Yes. I’m about to head there. Just give me a few more minutes.”


    “Sure.” Henry kept his phone and circled his fingers on the railing lightly. A few minutes


    He immediately put on a smile and approached her. “Wee back, Miss Selwyn. How


    was the trip to Gandra? Did any sparks of a possible reunion with Mr. Cadogan fly?”

    Chapter 265 You Think I Can’t Do Anything About Yo


    The second sentence nearly made Victoria trip as she looked at him speechlessly.


    “Mr. Poole, we’re old enough. Please don’t joke around like that.”


    “Tsk. So what if we’re old? This is the best time to make jokes.”


    Henry took her luggage from her. “Here. Let me. You’re the boss. You just need to get in


    the car.*


    Victoria didn’t argue with him. Since he wanted to take the luggage, she didn’t see a


    point in refusing. Plus, she didn’t want to waste time and catch people’s attention


    arguing at the exit.


    After they got in the car, Henry still didn’t stop and started pestering her, asking, “But


    really, though. Why didn’t Mr. Morison pick you up this time?”


    Then, Victoria turned her head to the side and gave him a look. “Mr. Poole, I think we


    should add another requirement the next time we’re hiring.”


    Henryughed, “What requirement?”


    “Don’t gossip about your superior’s personal matters.”


    “Sure. I’ll add it right away.” Henry smiled. “But Miss Selwyn, I’m not gossiping about


    Chapter 265 You Think I Can’t Do Anything About Yo


    you. I’m not the type to talk with others behind your back. I usually ask my questions


    face to face.”

    “No. You can’t do that either.”


    Victoria shut her eyes as she didn’t want to entertain him any longer.

    Henry was good-natured and liked to fool around. He also wasn’t one to get angry easily


    either. So, he wasn’t offended at all when Victoria ignored him and wouldn’t assume


    that she was pulling a long face at him.


    “But by the looks of it, I’m guessing that you don’t want to talk to Mr. Morison? That’s


    fantastic. Frankly, I don’t really like him either.”


    Victoria pursed her lips and asked in resignation as she knew he wasn’t going to let her


    off the h o o k so easily, “Mr. Poole, is your love life going well?”


    “Of course. It’s great. I have a wife and a child. My family is happy. If you have any


    problems in your love life, you can ask me. I’ve got quite the experience.”
