Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 729

When Christine approached the front desk to check-in, the receptionist informed her that Gregory had booked the entire floor.

Without missing a beat, they handed her the keycard to another room.

A twitch of irritation crossed her face as she internally cursed Gregory, labeling him a cunning old fox.

It was clear he was orchestrating some drama between her and Dailey, and yet, he hadn’t breathed a word about it.

If it weren’t for the fact that she and Jane had plans to iron out a minor disagreement tonight, she’d definitely text Jane to vent about this.

Ding—

Lost in her thoughts, Christine didn’t notice the elevator arrive.

She stepped out, making sure to ask the front desk for a room on the opposite end from Merritt’s.

Across the hallway.

Just as she was about to swipe her card, a familiar male voice startled her.

“Running off to get your own room now?”

His presence was like a ghost that wouldn’t leave her alone.

Christine regretted getting involved in this charade.

The only silver lining was slapping him twice.

Taking a deep breath, she turned around, “Mr. Clarkson, what are you doing haunting the halls at this hour?”

At the moment, Dailey was only concerned about why she was checking into a room by herself.

He seemed immune to her sarcastic tone.

“Had a fight?”

All Christine wanted was to dive into a soft, big bed and avoid any entanglement with him.

“So, Mr. Clarkson, you’re so interested in my whereabouts now? What, have you fallen for me?”

Dailey took a step forward.

Christine stepped back until her back hit the door.

Dailey placed a hand against the door, closing the gap between them. A slight movement would bring their lips together.

But Christine couldn’t just walk away.

Her room was right behind her, and it was Dailey who should leave.

Why should she?

“Looks like Mr. Clarkson didn’t get enough of being slapped?”
