Chapter 151
Feeling the weight of the bag. Denise opened it out of curiosity.
The amount of money in the bag really stunned her for a while. Minutes later, she then said, “Mr. Eastwood, this is… too much!”
Oliver waved his hands and said, “Didn’t we come to a deal before? 10,000 Oros a day as your payment. The money in the bag is but five days’ salary in advance. You don’t have to thank me. We can talk about the financial details after our cooperation is over.”
Denise’s blue eyes were foggy. She wanted to say something, but she failed.
She didn’t dare to refuse the money. If Oliver took it back, she had no idea how she could pay her mother’s medical bills. “Besides, where can I find another job that pays me 10,000 Oros a day?” she thought.
There was no way for her to find such a job with so high a salary. Denise knew very well that the young man might really appreciate her beauty.
“If that’s not the reason, why would he pay 10,000 Oros a day as my salary?” she then wondered in her mind.
Although Denise really wanted to marry a rich and handsome second-generation rich, she was uneasy when she actually
met one.
But the strong smell of medical disinfectant made her immediately remember that she was in the hospital and her mother was still lying on the bed inside!
“Forget it. No matter what the purpose of Mr. Eastwood is, I have to accept the money for my mother’s sake,” she thought. After giving her the money, Oliver added, “Well, you should go back to take care of your mom. Call me if you need anything. We’ll stay in the hotel.”
Denise nodded blindly.
With a smile, Oliver turned away and left directly.
Denise raised her hands, trying to stop him. But she didn’t say anything. In the twinkling of an eye, the three of them disappeared around the corner.
Waiting for the taxi outside the hospital, Wayne said to Oliver, “Boss, I think Denise will be stuck here for a while. Should we hire another interpreter?”
Without an interpreter, they found it really difficult to do anything here. Denise and her depended on each other to live. It could be said that Denise was deeply attached to her mother. How would it be possible for her to leave her mother alone in the hospital?
Oliver picked up a taxi and showed the driver the logo of the Royal Resort Hotel.
The driver immediately understood. He nodded and made an “OK” gesture. Then he drove them to the hotel directly. Then Oliver said to Wayne and Simon, “Don’t rush to find someone else for the time being. Things might change soon. Besides, we haven’t got another call from the kidnapper. So, we have to wait.”
Soon, Oliver and the guys returned to the hotel. He then took Wayne and Simon to a seaside canteen to get them relaxed. Before they could enjoy the dishes, Oliver’s phone had rung. He took out his phone and checked it. It was Denise who called. him.
“Hello, Miss Denise?” said Oliver.
Denise’s voice came from the phone, “This is Denise speaking. Mr. Eastwood, are you in your chamber? I rang the doorbell, yet no one responded…”
“Are you
outside my chamber?” Oliver asked in stun. He then hurriedly said, “We’re not in our chambers. You can find us in the seaside canteen downstairs.”
“Okay, I’ll be right there,” said Denise who then hung up the phone.
Five minutes later, Denise, who was a little panting, showed up and waved her right hand to Oliver and the guys from far away.
This canteen was very upscale. Through the transparent glass wall, customers could see the blue sea outside, which was really pleasing to the eye.
Denise ran a little hastily, her chest heaving with gasp and her face flushing.
One had to admit that this foreign girl was really beautiful. She gave full play to the exotic charm.
“Why are you here now? Shouldn’t you watch over your mother in the hospital?” Oliver asked as he invited her to sit down.
Denise sat down, regardless of which cup it was, and assumed that no one touched it. She picked it up and took a big sip.
“There is nursing care in the hospital. I’ve arranged it,” Denise replied. “Mr. Eastwood, I… After taking so much money from you, I always feel uncomfortable. Having thought it over, I think I can only feel relieved if I fulfill my duty first!”
Oliver nodded. Originally, he was worried about her mother for her. Now that she had dealt with it properly, he decided to accept the fact. After all, they really couldn’t do anything here without an interpreter.
“Still, you need to eat something,” said Oliver who raised no more questions and asked the waiter to add an additional set of cutlery for Denise.
Denise peeked at Oliver as she ate.
Oliver, on the other hand, did the opposite thing. While he was trying to finish the wonderful seafood feast, right in his mind he wondered anxiously when he would get a call from the kidnapper.
Meanwhile, Denise asked herself in her mind, “What will Mr. Eastwood do to me?”
Would Oliver chase after her because of her pretty face? Or would he just want a one-night relationship?
But she didn’t have the right to refuse anyway, now that she had already accepted that 50,000 Oros.
But Denise wondered, “If Mr. Eastwood is into my beauty, why didn’t stay with me after giving me the money?
If I run away behind his back or flee away with my mother, how is it possible for him to find me again?”
After the meal, Oliver went back to the front desk of the hotel and got Denise a chamber as well. Her chamber was right adjacent to Oliver’s. It was quite convenient for Oliver to get her help in time when necessary.
Curiosity grew even bigger in Denise’s heart when she saw Oliver get her a luxurious chamber priced at 40,000 Oros a night without hesitation.
She wondered, “If he really wants me, he could have just asked me to sleep in his chamber tonight. Yet why would he get me a chamber?”
That was 40,000 Oros a night! Denise just felt pain in her heart when she thought about this.
At the door of his chamber, it was before Oliver could ask Denise to go back to her chamber and rest that a phone had rung again.
This time, it was not Oliver’s private phone but that old-finished phone Gabriel gave him.
This was asked by that kidnapper who thought that the old-fashioned phone could not be spied on and analyzed by smart
software.
Oliver was dumbfounded for seconds. Then he suddenly felt nervous. So did Wayne and Simon. So, they opened the door and got in the chamber in a hurry.
Oliver pulled Denise into the chamber and said nervously in a low voice, “Pick up this phone. Then translate what you and this guy might say to me.”
Denise was also frightened by Oliver’s sudden and reckless action. She thought he finally could not help suppressing his desire. Yet she didn’t expect that Oliver merely asked her to pick up a phone.
Pointing at that old-fashioned phone, Denise asked, “Who’s calling? What am I going to say?”
Oliver whispered, “I don’t know. Just answer it and translate what that guy is going to say to me.” Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Denise nodded, then pressed the answer button and turned on the speaker.
The voice on the phone was a man’s. He said something in Utopinese.
Denise asked something, and then said to Oliver, “He told you to prepare 500,000 Oros and get to the Crystal Casino right
now.”
“Is it far from here? Do you know where it is?” Oliver asked Denise directly.
“It’s not far. It takes you around 40 minutes of driving to get there,” answered Denise who then added, “But he said you must get there in 50 minutes. So, we should set off right now if you decide to follow his instruction.”
“Let’s go!” said Oliver.
