Chapter 341


    A car speeding down the highway


    Inside the car, James had his eyes shut, leaning against the seat. The man driving took a nce at


    James through the rearview mirror, making sure he was sound asleep, before whipping out his phone


    and dialing a number, “Hey Hallon, I’ve done what you asked me to do. Got it. Im heading to the


    Oakwood Hotel now.”


    Oakwood Hotel, a run-of-the-mill joint


    A tall bloke was escorting a handson h of

    assist you, sir?”


    young man in a suit into the Oakwood Hotel, Cassie, the receptionist on duty, swooped in at once,


    “How can I


    “I need to get to room 306.” The guy said.


    Cassie quickly grabbed the key card and followed.


    As they exited the elevator, Cassie saw the tall man struggling to support another guy who was three


    sheets to the wind. She rushed to lend a hand, her cheeks flushing as she caught a glimpse of the


    handsome man’s profile.

    inside Cassie, ever the warm host, asked, “Need anything else?’


    ‘Nope.” The tall man shut the door Cassie was left standing outside, a faint whiff of cologne still


    lingering in the air


    “What a hunk, and he seems loaded too” She thought, “Why would he pick this tiny hotel to stay?”


    The tall man made another call. About 20 minutester, the door was opened again. Another man


    walked in, leading a drunk


    The tall man asked, ‘Is that her?”


    “No doubt about it. Got her from Walter. The job’s done, let’s scram


    Theyid the drunk woman on the bed, next to the drunk man.


    After a while, the tall man said, “Almost forgot”


    He pulled out a box of scented candles from his pocket, lit one and ced it on the bedside table


    young woman,


    “Hallon said if they’re both stered, light this up. Enhances the aphrodisiac effect. Let’s get outta


    here. If we don’t, they might just wake up.”


    They left the hotel


    Room 306 was filled with a hint of fragrance. The curtains fluttered lightly. The night seemed to promise


    something out of the ordinary.


    “Allison, didn’t you say you’d get off work early tonight? Why are you sote? I’ve got supper ready,


    she immediately got up and greeted her with a smile.


    “Mom, why arent you in bed?” Allison shut the door, put down her stuff, and changed her shoes.


    Grace went into the kitchen to heat up the supper. Allison nned to take a bath in her room. She


    could still smell Lucian on her. But just as she changed, Grace called her, “Allison, let’s move to


    Cloudville”


    Allison froze. She quickly changed into her pyjamas and went out.


    She went into the kitchen, looked at Grace, and asked, “What did you just say?”


    Grace replied, “Didn’t you always want to take me away from Northfield? I gave it some thought. I don’t


    have anyone close in Northfield anymore. Let’s leave here and go to Cloudville.”


    Allison took a bite of the freshly heated apple pie.


    She asked, puzzled, “Didn’t you say you weren’t in a hurry?”


    Grace did say she wasn’t in a hurry before. But now, she was desperate to leave.
