Chapter 50 Where Did You Go


    Doris finally opened her eyes. Now that she was wide awake, everything started to dawn on her. "Oh,


    it''s you, Nancy! I must have talked in my sleep. How did you find me?"


    "Are you out of your mind?! You''re cooking, and you''re cooped up in here, sleeping?!" Nancy''s voice


    rose to the roof, frustrated at how reckless Doris was.


    "Oh, my god! I totally forgot about it!" Now, Doris'' eyes grew wide as if she had seen a ghost passed


    by.


    Without any other word, she shook off Nancy''s hand and jumped off the bed before rushing into the


    kitchen like a gust of wind.


    Meanwhile, Nancy shed a triumphant smile as she followed behind.


    Yes, she said that on purpose to frighten Doris so that she wouldn''tmit the same mistake of


    sleeping while something was on the stove.


    At this time, Jay hobbled down the stairs, struggling to keep the kitchen under his control.


    "Doris, where have you been?" he asked with furrowed brows.


    "I...uhm..I...ah... I just went to the bathroom." Doris nced at Nancy before responded with a slight


    smile. Her hands rubbed the sides of her legs to ease her frenzy.


    "Oh, you''ve been in there for such a long time that you almost made the kitchen explode," Jay joked


    with a hint of sarcasm on his tone.


    "I know, I''m sorry. But I already prepared other dishes before the ident, so we can still have dinner!"


    Doris retorted enthusiastically.


    Her biggest advantage was that she wouldn''t get entangled with a single problem for long. If it could be


    solved, she might as well do, but if it couldn''t, then the best thing on her dictionary was to let it go.


    For example, even if one of the dishes had been overcooked, they could still eat the already finished


    ones. Easy––problem solved!


    "That''s so excellent of you, Doris!" said Jay helplessly, shing a grin on the woman.


    "Of course, I am. Otherwise, how could I treat you?" Doris responded, grinning back at his man.


    Charles and Nancy both smiled too, noticing the silly exchange of remarks between the two lovers.


    "This is my profession. Why are youughing?" If their secret had not been out yet, Doris would have


    already felt embarrassed. But now that it was out in the open––at least to Nancy––she decided to fully


    face it. "I cooked us dinner. You can choose to eat it or not. As for me, I''m starving, so I''ll go ahead and


    eat."


    With those words, she headed over to the sink to wash her hands and strode into the dining room


    alone.


    "Doesn''t she look like a hostess?" Charles teased, referring to Doris, who was now holding a te on


    her hand.


    "Well, I''m going to be pissed off if she really is a hostess," Jay snorted at that remark, slightly cocking


    his head on the side.


    "I don''t like what you said, Mr. Fang. It seems that you just need Doris to take care of you. But even so,


    you should learn to respect others when you trouble them. You''d better control your temper, Mr. Fang,


    or I will take Doris away." Although Nancy spoke slowly, her voice was filled with conviction and


    severity, emphasizing that she was not kidding at all.


    "Of course not! I mean, yeah, I do admit that she is taking care of me, but it''s her duty. You know I''m


    injured because of her, right? And the table! The table is worth one hundred million dors! I haven''t


    found one yet!"


    "What do you mean one hundred million?" Nancy''s face changed instantly. This time, her poker face


    turned into a slight grimace with her brows slightly furrowed.


    One hundred million was such a massive amount to both her and Doris.


    "Did Doris get into trouble?" she asked nervously. The sudden mention of that colossal figure sent


    shivers down her spine.


    "Yeah, Nancy. Otherwise, I won''t be here and serving him like I''m his housekeeper." Doris'' voice, which


    was evidently filled with bitterness, resounded from the dining room.


    She didn''t want to hide it from her anymore.


    It was such a massive burden on her part, and she needed someone to share it with. Who better to do


    that than with Nancy?


    "What happened?" thetter asked as soon as she stepped to the dining room.


    Meanwhile, a tear fell on Doris'' cheek as she picked the food into her mouth.


    "Oh, I see. I''ll tell you."


    Supported by Charles, Jay sat down on the chair.

    He began exining how Doris got herself into trouble at the hotel. Without leaving any detail in


    secrecy, he spilled out everything from beginning to end.


    "Do you now understand the whole thing?" Jay asked with a reluctant tone.


    But even though he was hoping Nancy would side with him, thetter did otherwise. What she said


    next sent him in utter disbelief. "You deserve it!" Nancy disputed, ring at him with her most vicious


    eyes.


    For a while, Jay struggled to reply. Instead, he faced his best friend, hoping thetter would back him


    on this. "Charles, I..." he managed to say but realized it was hopeless. So, he continued, "If I hadn''t


    done that, she would be in much greater trouble! There are only two of those tables in the world. It''s


    worth a hundred million, but I still can''t find the other table. The owner of the hotel is pressing me to


    find one!"


    As usual, Charles rubbed his fingers against his chin, pondering for a while before saying, "I''ll deal with


    it."


    Then, he quickly took out his phone and searched for a number. Secondster, he held it against his


    right ear as he dialed the owner of the hotel.


    All he did was ask a question, and the hotel owner took control of the conversation. "It''s not worth your


    bother, Mr. Gu. You pass my words to Mr. Fang. It''s all right. He shouldn''t worry about that table


    anymore."


    "Thank you," Charles replied politely.


    "Not at all."


    He was a type of businessman who''d never take a risk if he knew he was on the losing end.


    One hundred million was just a small number for Charles. As long as he invested in that hotel, the


    owner wouldn''t mind losing that table and its amount.


    So, this call was more than enough to settle this little problem.


    "It''s okay. Don''t mention it anymore," said Charles, before hanging up and throwing his phone on the


    table.


    "Mr. Gu, is that true?" Doris asked, still tearing up, but now because of sheer joy.


    "Why would I lie to you?" Charles asked back, ncing at her in his most formal face.


    "Thank you, Mr. Gu!" Doris was ted that she almost hugged the man. But because she knew it


    would be overboard, she had to contain it. So instead, she turned to look at Jay with a pair of stern,


    cold eyes. "Mr. Fang, I''ll be leaving with Nancy tonight. It seems that I don''t have to repay you


    anymore. So, I''m not needed here any longer."


    The one hundred million was like a chain that shackled her at Jay''s mercy. But now that she didn''t need


    to pay for it, she was free to go.


    She could now breathe very smoothly and feel relieved.


    It was like she rose from hell and was now on her way to heaven!


    Obviously, she was ecstatic––much to Jay''s evident dismay. He was happy that he had saved one


    hundred million, but he was now disappointed that Doris was about to leave him.


    With his sad little eyes, he nced at Charles and asked, "How about my injury?"


    "Why are you asking me? I have no idea. Besides, you know better how to handle that, or better yet,


    ask her," Charles joked, with a cunning smile shing on his face. He cocked his head towards Doris''


    way to make a point.


    Hearing his words, Jay heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Charles knew him well and his inclination


    for women.


    "Doris, did you hear that? Charles asked you to be responsible for me. It was you who hurt me, so how


    are you going to take care of it, hmmm?"


    Jay asked in the most seductive tone he could muster. He even raised his eyebrows as if waiting for


    her response.


    Immediately, Doris was engulfed with terror and despair. It was just seconds ago when she was all on


    cloud nine for finally being released from him. But now... "I...ah...I will cure you." Although she had a


    pretty uptight character, Doris was a responsible person. She knew his injury was her fault, so she


    really needed to take responsibility for that.


    Fortunately, it was her area of expertise.


    "Mr. Fang, you are a man, and Doris is a woman. Do you think it''s appropriate for you two to live in this


    large vi?" Nancy suddenly asked, hinting that she was not happy with their set up. She was a wise


    woman who knew exactly what a man was thinking. If anything happened to Doris, no one would be


    there to help her. Besides, how could she entrust her dear friend to a Casanova like


    Jay?
