The Clutches Of Hell Novel

Chapter 37

“I’m almost done removing my makeup. I’ll treat your wounds for you once I’m done.” Gabrielle returned to the mirror and took a piece of makeup wipe.

She quickly finished removing her makeup and took the medical kit to treat the wound on Victoria’s face.

“I think my back is wounded. Can you please help me clean the wound too? Thanks.” After the wound on her face was treated, Victoria removed her uniform and turned her back to Gabrielle with only her bra on.

When Gabrielle saw the new wound on Victoria’s back, which was as long as a person’s middle finger, as well as other old wounds that were intertwined with each other, she pitied someone for the first time. “Are all of these wounds on your back from the time you were in prison?”

Victoria just gave her a small hum of acknowledgment. She didn’t want to recall that memory since those days were like a nightmare for her.

“What about this new wound?” Gabrielle was afraid that she would hurt Victoria, so she tried her best to be soft when treating her wound. Yet, she still saw Victoria twitching slightly from the pain.

She thought that Victoria would shout in pain and ask her to be softer, but she didn’t even grunt. On the contrary, it seemed as though she was… used to it.

At this moment, Victoria’s eyes darkened. “I hurt myself by accident.”

When Gabrielle heard that, she wanted to say that the wound was nothing like an accidental injury, but as she was about to say that, she changed her words in the end. “Victoria, do you think it’s really

necessary for you to work overtime with that little salary and have people always harassing you here?”

Victoria touched her knees, which were still a little painful, and pressed her lips together without saying anything.

“People were laughing at you when you kneeled for half a day at the entrance of the club, when you were slapped by Glen Coleman today, and when Mr. Spritz asked you to kneel.” Gabrielle’s voice became a little softer. “You’re so capable. Going anywhere else will be better than staying here. Don’t you feel that you have lost your dignity and feel upset about staying here?”

“Just take me as coveting the intoxicating life here.” When her wounds were all treated, Victoria wore her uniform and rolled up her pants. She then took out some ointment to apply it to her horrible bruises.

Hearing that, Gabrielle pursed her lips and kept the medical kit. “Just don’t say it if you don’t want to. Why do you need to lie? Let other people be concerned about you. I don’t care anymore!”

Victoria was stunned for a moment and laughed at once when she heard that. “I’ll buy you the grilled fish from your favorite restaurant tomorrow. Don’t be mad.”

A person who had known her for eight years said that she was staying in the Delta Club to squeeze herself back into her previous circle by any means. Yet, a person she had only known for less than a month felt that it was a lie for her to say that she was coveting the intoxicating life. This world was always different from what she had imagined.

After Victoria was done washing up and lying in bed, her tears were flowing down without a sound in the dark.

No one could stand their dignity being trampled on, and this applied to her as well. However, just like what Janice said, no one could help her unless she pleased Christian and sought his forgiveness.

She really didn’t want to and wasn’t willing to be a janitor at the Delta Club for the rest of her life.

…

Victoria kept thinking about how to seek Christian’s forgiveness, but half a month had already passed when she last saw him. He came to the club with a few people to talk business with them.

When he passed by her, he didn’t even give her a glance and just entered the private room while surrounded by the crowd.

Seeing that, Victoria held the mop and stood there dazedly for a moment. She suppressed the bitterness in her heart and put the cleaning tools back into the storeroom before looking for Cameron.

“What? You don’t want to be a janitor and want your previous job back?” Cameron widened his eyes and studied Victoria up and down before he said mockingly, “Do you think you’re the boss here? That you can work at whichever position you want to?”

“No, that’s not what I meant. I just want to work in my previous position for one or two hours, and not change my job.” After hesitating for a moment, Victoria took the jade necklace from her neck and gave it to Cameron. “It’s from the Renaissance period.”

This jade necklace was her eighteenth birthday present, which her brother spent twenty million buying at an auction. He was scolded badly by their father for that.

“The Renaissance period? Why don’t you say it’s from the Byzantine era or the Viking Age?” He didn’t believe a janitor could have such a valuable item at all. Yet, when he took the jade necklace and touched it, his eyes sparkled at once.

Even if this jade necklace was not from the Renaissance period, it was definitely valuable.

Cameron kept touching the necklace and couldn’t get his hands off it, but he still didn’t agree to Victoria’s request. “Miss Charlotte personally asked you to be a janitor. If I simply…”

“It’s just two hours. She won’t find out.” Victoria pressed her lips together and reached out her right hand to his front. “Never mind, then. I don’t want to put you in a difficult position.”

Seeing her hand, he took a step back with the jade necklace in his hands and smiled sheepishly. “It’s actually not that difficult. How about this? I’ll give Miss Charlotte a call and ask her about it.”

As he said that, he didn’t even give Victoria the chance to say no, and he already took out his phone to dial Charlotte’s number with one of his hands while his other hand held onto the jade necklace.

At this moment, Victoria frowned and regretted it.

Since Charlotte was under Christian, she wouldn’t agree to change her job position without his agreement. However, judging by Cameron’s face, she could tell that he wouldn’t return the jade necklace to her no matter if there was a deal or not.

“Okay. Understood. Sorry for disturbing you.” Cameron hung up the phone with a smile, but when he turned around to look at Victoria, he returned to his arrogant, superior attitude. “It’s a deal. I tried very hard to convince Miss Charlotte to agree to changing your job position.”

“Thank you, Cameron.” When standing at the side, Victoria could clearly hear whether he tried hard or not, but there was no need to expose what she knew as long as it didn’t affect her.

But did Charlotte, or should I say Christian, really agree to it so easily?novelxo.com fast update NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

“There’s no need to be this formal with me.” Cameron hung the jade necklace on his finger and swayed it. “So, this jade necklace…”

“It’s yours,” she said.

Hearing that, he kept the jade necklace with a delighted smile. He became happier whenever he looked at it. “Alright, then. Pass your job to Megan and the others before you change your clothes. Go to Room 5231 after that. Remember to read the room and don’t mess with people you shouldn’t.”

It was Charlotte’s order for Victoria to enter Room 5231. Although he didn’t know why, it was none of his business, so he didn’t ask about it.

When Victoria heard that, her eyes sparkled since Room 5231 was the private room Christian had entered just now. With that, she didn’t need to find other excuses anymore. She left the room after giving him a small hum of acknowledgment.

After she passed her job to the other janitors, she looked for the shift leader to take a bodycon dress. She then entered Room 5231 with simple makeup on.

At this moment, Christian looked up and saw that Victoria was not in her loose janitor uniform but a light purple floral-printed bodycon dress. When she walked, her long legs loomed, making her look seductive.

When he saw that, he tightened his slender fingers around his wine glass before lifting it to take a sip as if nothing happened.

“Hello,” Victoria greeted them with her head down and walked to Christian’s side under the crowd’s stares.

The people in the room were surrounding him, but none of them dared sit too close to him. Since there was enough space for a person to sit beside him, she seated herself right there.

Although she wanted to please Christian, she was still a little afraid of him. The seat wasn’t very spacious, but she didn’t dare touch his body, so she moved her body closer to the man on her other side until their bodies were nearly touching each other’s.

“Did I ask you to sit?” Christian’s gaze landed on her thigh, which was nearly touching the man’s. He paused for a moment and found it an eyesore.
