Chapter 36 Not a Toy
Chapter 36 Not a Toy
It was beyond the expectation of Claire and Louis that Henry would agree so readily.
Perhaps others would think that Louis was stupid. In their eyes, Claire was just an ordinary barmaid and there was nothing to compete for. It was obvious that the chips in the competition were several times weaker. One woman and 30% shares. Obviously, the latter was more expensive.
But since he had said it, if he regretted, he would be laughed at by everyone!
Louis generously clapped his hands and found an excuse for himself. "Mr. Henry, you are so unkind... In that case, let Miss Claire stand in the middle. Mr. Henry, if you lose, I don't want you to go back on your words. Miss Claire, I will take good care of you! "
It was only the first day that the two business tycoons had such a fierce collision. How could they not be excited? In less than ten minutes, there were a lot of people gathering around the gambling table, wrapping the two of them in the middle.
From beginning to end, Henry's eyes had never fallen on Claire, as if she was a dispensable existence. As long as he wanted, he could throw away a chess piece like her at any time! For the sake of his own business, people around Henry could understand that he could exchange a woman for something else. So they didn't say anything more. In business, this kind of thing had been the same.
"That's for sure. I will do what I say."
The fight between the two men hurt Claire's heart unintentionally. And her love for Henry, which she had worked so hard to develop just now, was stifled in the cradle.
She thought she was special to Henry. It seemed that she was the one who flattered herself in the end!
Claire took the initiative to stand beside Henry, and she said with red eyes, "I'm really stupid enough to believe that you have a little feeling for me. I'm flattered! Henry, I'm not a toy. I'm a woman of flesh and
blood. I'm even pregnant with the child of Gu Family. How could you not frown... "
Claire's words made Henry impatient. He pushed her away and scolded, "Shut up. Don't forget who you are. There is no chance for you to speak here. You just need to stand quietly. "
Who you are? Hearing these words, Claire suddenly smiled with relief.
Her face was smiling, but her tears were falling.
Claire took a few steps back slowly and nodded in agreement. "Yes, you are right. Henry. I, Claire, am your toy. You can pick it up whenever you want and throw it away whenever you want. You are right. Henry. You bastard! "
Claire almost cried out the last sentence. Not knowing where the strength and courage came from, Claire pushed away the person in front of her and ran out in a flash. The people around them were scared to death. They made way for Claire.
Looking at the direction in which Claire left, the smile on Louis's face became more and more weird. He chuckled and continued to ask, "It seems that Mr. Henry hasn't tamed her well... Such a straightforward woman like Miss Claire. I really love her. In this gamble, we... "
If Henry didn't pay any price today, he probably wouldn't be able to get out of the gambling table! There were so many people around him, and Louis believed that Henry would not break up with him!
Henry's face was tense. He didn't see any change in him. He raised his head, stared at Louis and said with a smile, "That's... Of course. "
He admitted that he was a little regretful and distressed when he saw Claire tell him with red eyes that she was not a toy. But what he said was like water pouring out. If he broke his principle directly, Claire would probably cause more killing intent, wouldn't she?
The atmosphere inside was still rising, and outside the gambling table, Claire wiped her tears silently and looked into the distance. The sea breeze blew her blue floral dress, and her thick black hair danced gently.
When Claire was sad alone, a woman's gentle voice came from behind, "Miss, why are you outside alone? It seems that you are very sad. If possible, I think I can help you. "
Claire wiped her tears in a hurry and turned around surprised. Then she quickly distanced herself from the woman. "Yes, I'm sorry... I'm fine. Thank you for your concern. I... I have something else to do, so I have to go now. I'm really sorry! "
After saying that, Claire] turned around and ran away, as if there was something want to eat her behind her. But it was also because Claire ran fast that she did not see the strange smile on the woman's face.
After Claire completely went away, the smiling woman seemed to have changed into another person for a moment and asked helplessly, "Boss, is this woman really something magical? Except for being a little timid and having clean eyes. There seems to be nothing special about her. She doesn't look like a woman who will succeed in business."
She had seen too many women in her life, but when she looked at Claire just now, she couldn't see any hypocrisy or affectation. The first impression Claire gave people was that she was very clean, and the faint smell of herbs from her body was refreshing.
The boss, who was wearing sunglasses, was sitting leisurely at the foot of the sun mountain. "I smell too much perfume. It's good to change my taste occasionally. Keep an eye on her and inform me immediately if anything happens. "
The boss was really interested in that little woman. After all, Claire was the nominal wife of Henry. It was not appropriate for her to watch Claire in public?
Of course, the woman didn't dare to say such words. She just chuckled and said that she understood. Then she twisted her snake like waist and slowly walked forward. Countless men were attracted by her. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
When Claire returned to room 22 on the A floor, she realized that there was a very serious problem. She didn't have the key to this room. If she wanted to rest, she might have to find another place! When Claire felt regretful, she was surprised to find that the door... It's open!
Did Henry come back? Did he know that she was sad and he couldn't find her, so he chose to come back?
A hint of joy flashed through her heart. Claire hurriedly pushed the door open and rushed in, smiling through tears and called Henry's name. But time seemed to freeze at that moment. There was indeed someone in the room, not the so-called Henry.
The man closest to the door pulled down his face at once, quickly covered Claire's mouth with his hands, quickly closed the door with his back and scolded, "Who didn't lock the door? Close the door quickly. If it was Henry who came here just now, all of us would be dead. How could we explain it when we go back since we are so careless! "
No one would stay in this area during this period of time, so they chose to go out at this time. So they were not worried that someone would notice their movements. At this moment, Claire was really in danger!
Claire, whose mouth was covered, was obviously a little flustered. She didn't know these three people, but how could they have the key to enter the room, and... She looked familiar with one of them! Wasn't this man the security guard who was responsible for guarding the door of her room before? Why was he looking around in her room now!
The man who arrested Claire immediately straightened her body, gnashed his teeth and asked, "This damn woman. If she didn't come back, there wouldn't be so many things. Search quickly! Why did you come back suddenly? Where is Henry? "
If Henry was coming back, they must leave as soon as possible. However, Claire had seen what they were doing. If they couldn't figure out a way to kill her, something big would happen. They had planned this for so long and finally had the chance to sneak in. If they were caught, all their previous efforts would be wasted!
Claire was smart enough to see that they were looking for something, so she immediately began to make a mystery of it. "He... He was coming back soon! He asked me to come back and get something. He asked me to keep it a secret. Don't let others find it! "
Now as long as Henry came back, she would still have a little chance to be saved, wouldn't she? These people were obviously outlaws. If they were pushed too hard, it would be Claire who would suffer losses.
Claire didn't want to be humiliated by the same mistake.
The man recognized by Claire immediately became restless. He took the initiative to approach her, grabbed her arm and pinched it hard. "Something... Brother, maybe this woman really knew something! Where is it? Hand it over quickly! If you hand it over, I promise I won't hurt you. I believe that you don't want to leave any ugly scars on your face, do you? "
As he spoke, the man smirked sinisterly. He took out a fruit knife from his pocket and kept moving up and down Claire's face, with a greedy expression on his face.
