Wendy was speechless.
Trish’s voice came through, bubbling with excitement. “Wendy, guess what? Dr. Ceylan, the genius doctor, is actually a man! And get this–he’s totally fallen for me. We’re dating now!”
What?
Wendy’s mind was spinning.
“I can’t talk to you right now. I’ll tell you more later. But hey, you need to come to come home in a couple of days, “Trish said before hanging up the phone abruptly.
Wendy was certain now. Trish had to be dealing with some sort of scammer!
Wendy took a deep breath and shook her head. She quickly headed to the bathroom for a hot shower. As the stepped out, her phone rang again. This time, it was Luna calling.
Luna’s voice was filled with desperation, and Wendy could hear her crying. “Wendy, I’ve run into some trouble Can you come help me?”
Wendy’s grip tightened on the phone. “Luna, what’s going on?”
“I’m working at the Gold Vista Hotel as a waitress, and just now, my manager took a liking to me and wanted me to spend the night with him. I got scared and hid in the bathroom, but his bodyguards were standing right outside watching me… Wendy, I’m so scared! I don’t want to do this. I don’t know who else to call. I have no other friends, and no one can help me…”
Luna’s voice cracked with fear as she sobbed.
“Luna, don’t panic. Stay in the bathroom and don’t come out. I’m coming to get you right now,” Wendy said, her tone firm.
“Thank you, Wendy,” Luna whispered, relief flickering through her voice.
Wendy hung up the phone and rushed straight to the Gold Vista Hotel.
Wendy arrived at the women’s restroom in the Gold Vista Hotel and, just as expected, she noticed two bodyguards standing by the entrance.
She walked calmly into the restroom. Inside, she found Luna, tear–streaked and looking utterly panicked. “Wendy, you came,” Luna gasped, her face pale and frantic.
Wendy took her hand gently. “Luna, don’t worry. I’m going to get you out of here.”
“But Mr. Silva’s bodyguards re outside. How will we get past them?” Luna’s voice trembled with anxiety. “Simple. We’ll disguise ourselves.”
Wendy had brought a bag in with her, and she reached inside, pulling out a dress, a hat, and a pair of sunglasses.” Change into these.”
Luna quickly changed, transforming from a sweet and innocent waitress into a bold, sultry woman. She looked completely different–no one would recognize her now.
“Luna, we’re leaving now.”
Chapter 100
Wendy took Luna’s hand and led her out.
The two bodyguards eutside looked at Luna as she walked past. Luna’s hands were shaking, she was terrified they might recognize her.
But Wendy held her trembling hand firmly and gave her a reassuring look.
Luna took a deep breath and followed Wendy out.
The bodyguards didn’t seem to notice anything unusual.
Luna let out a quiet sigh of relief. “Thank God,” she whispered.
“Let’s hurry and get out of here,” Wendy urged.
