He Gave Me Hearing, Then Taught Me What Silence Really Means novel Chapter 327

None of the men in the booth had called for her, and each manager handled specific rooms. At the very least, Mavis wasn't assigned to this section.

So facing these men naturally put her under immense pressure. Sweat beaded on her forehead, but she dutifully lowered her head. "Mr. Saint, I just saw Ms. Lane being taken away by someone."

Nelson looked up. "Ms. Lane?"

He wasn't sure which Ms. Lane she meant, especially since someone with Juniper's personality wouldn't normally come to a place like this.

"Ms. Juniper Lane. I saw her being dragged away."

Nelson shot up from his seat and strode toward the door. As he passed Mavis, he stopped. "Who told you there was something going on between me and her?"

Mavis didn't panic in the slightest, having already rehearsed this with Juniper.

"To be a manager here, you have to be observant. I occasionally overhear other guests talking about the Sterling family's wedding, so I connected the dots myself."

Anyone who made it to management in a place like this was elite. They had to know how to read their clients and understand exactly when to speak and when to keep their mouths shut.

Nelson couldn't be bothered to dig deeper. He just despised being dragged into calculating traps.

He called Juniper, but she didn't answer. Right now, she was sitting in Lucas's car.

During their brief scuffle earlier, Lucas had smacked her in the back of the head. It wasn't a heavy blow, but she had faked fainting.

Burning with lust, Lucas had wanted to drag her straight to his house, but his place was over an hour away. Instead, he booked a room at a nearby hotel and practically carried her inside.

Juniper intentionally made herself dead weight. Lucas, whose body had been ruined by years of excess, was drenched in sweat after just a short walk.

Once inside, he cursed as he tossed her onto the bed. But all his anger melted away the moment he looked at her face.
