Christina looked into his eyes with a flash of guilt on her face.She leaned against the bed, covered with a blanket, and looked at the man at the door from afar.She did not expect Patrick to suddenly come over.
Seeing a large group of people searching around in the bathroom and cloakroom of the suite, she tried to stop them but could not make up an excuse.
"Mr.Hopkins, we didn't find anyone."
"The elevator surveillance shows that he's on this floor..."
"We searched the rest of the rooms.To protect the privacy of guests' on the top floor, we didn't install the monitor device" Christina could vaguely hear their conversation in the living room.
Although there was a lot of service staff standing in the spacious suite at this time, the room was very silent as everyone looked at each other and did not dare to speak.She compressed her lips and her heart was pounding.
However, she was also hesitant.
Was Patrick looking for him? Why did he look for Eric? While being buried in thoughts, she trembled at the sudden voice.
She heard the heavy footsteps approaching.
Christina jerked her head up and suddenly met Patrick's gloomy eyes.
He stared at her with a meaningful look.
She could only feel a chill on her back, and her body could not help but tense up.
Leaning against the headboard, she put her hands under the blanket and clenched her fists.
"Who are you.."
She hesitated as he stared at her.But she stopped asking him.
Taking a deep breath, she lowered her eyes and did not dare to look him in the eye.
She said in an awkward tone, "The person you're looking for isn't here"
Patrick didn't say anything.He did not come any closer, just standing quietly about two meters away from the bed.
They were silent.
Christina lowered her head and became more and more uneasy.
What could she do? Did he find anything? She thought, "He won't lift my blanket in public."
"I remember you used to sleep on the right side."
The low voice came to Christina's ears and her hope was ruined by his words.Her face turned pale.
He remembered her habits.
She did like to sleep on the right side.
But she was just too hasty.
In astonishment, she looked up guiltily and opened her lips slightly, trying to say something.
