Marked By The Billionaire novel Chapter 2

Lucy noticed the pain on her lips again, saying, “Mom, I have to work now, maybe tomorrow.” “No way, I knew you would try and avoid this! Do you think work is more important than your health You have reached an age where you should be thinking about this for yourself, but I always have to think about you. Do you remember Lee’s daughter? What a nice woman! If she hadn’t breast cancer, there was no doubt that she’d still be healthy. It’s difficult to date when you’re 30 and you’ve had a mastectomy!”

Lucy knew that what her mother did was best for her, but she was a little sick of her scolding and nagging.

“Mom, I am going to the hospital now.” Lucy replied in a kindly manner.

After finishing the call, she let out a long sigh and lay on the bed. Her nimble eyes looked around, noticing that there was a slip of paper under the pillow, hidden partially by the sheet.

Upon opening it, she found there were a bunch of numbers written down.

Lucy did not even think about them, and threw it into the ground.

It was just one night stand for her, but she kept the cellphone number for some reason. Did she want to try it again?

She did not have much contact with William.

Suddenly, she remembered the appointment her mother had told her about There was no time to delay, so she swung down from the bed in hurry and picked up the only piece of clothing that wasn’t torn.

When she picked it up, there was an acrid smell of wine that went into her nose. She furrowed her brow, thinking of the smell of wine and what had happened last night, but put on the only piece of clothing that she could and decided to leave.

The problem was that there were hickeys on her neck, and if they were exposed openly outside, people would guess that she must have had some intense sex the night before. Of course, she didn’t want to be surrounded by such judging eyes, so she took the silk scarf that she always carried from her bag, and used it to cover up her hickeys.

When heading out the entrance of the hotel, there was a commercial vehicle parked at the door, with a man in a suit inside it, who asked her where she needed to go.

She came to realize that the hotel was significantly more luxurious than she initially thought.

After getting in the car, the man looked at her from the mirror, and asked her again where she wanted to go.
