Chapter 1624 He Is In My Room
“Stephen, I’m so sorry. I got too worked up because I was worried you would forsake me because of Nina. It’s all because I love you so much. I’ll remain here and accompany you to find her. I’m sure we’ll locate her soon.”
As soon as I get in touch with the kidnappers, I’ll be able to figure out the location of Nina’s corpse.
Melanie initiated a hug to patch things up with Stephen, but he instinctively moved away.
After standing in a daze for a second, he made an excuse to leave the room.
Startled by the man’s indifference, she took some to regain her senses. However, by the time she did so, he was already out of the room.
“Stephen, where are you going? Stephen—”
Stephen ignored Melanie’s question and hurried his way downstairs as if he could not hear her at all.
Indignation surged up within her.
Stephen is treating me colder than before. It seems like our relationship will never return to how it used to be until the matter with Nina is resolved.
At that thought, she turned around and took out her phone.
As she tried to think of a variety of methods to contact the people who she had engaged to kill Nina, she muttered to herself, “Those jerks went missing after getting the job done. Where the hell are they?”
Upon arriving downstairs, Stephen saw Rose having wine in the lobby. The solemn countenance she had on did not match with her heavy makeup.
When focused, she looked beautiful in a different way.
As if bewitched, he walked toward her but soon halted in his tracks.
It’s already late, so it’s probably not a good idea to bother her. Besides, if Melanie catches me talking to her, she’s going to flip.
At that thought, he let out a sigh, turned around, and headed the other way.
A faint smile graced Rose’s lips as she gazed at the man’s figure.
Even though I’m avenging myself, I’m doing you a favor as well. Your life will be hellish if you marry a vicious woman like her. Therefore, don’t blame me for using you. It’s a win-win situation for both of us!
Shortly after Stephen’s departure, Melanie came downstairs. Instantly, she seethed with rage at the sight of Rose in the lobby.
That’s right. This vixen stays in the same hotel as us! Why is she drinking wine in the lobby at such a late hour? Is she trying to hit on someone else? Ugh, such a shameless woman!
Once she swept her gaze across the lobby and found no sign of Stephen, Melanie approached Rose.
Eyeing the latter sinisterly, she remarked, “Why are you drinking alone at such a late hour? Are you here to hook up with a man to drive away your loneliness?”
Smirking, Rose answered, “Yeah, I’ve already found someone to keep me company for the night!”
“Who’s this unlucky man we’re talking about? Has he lost his mind or something? No one in their right mind would like you!” Melanie sneered.
Rose got up from her seat and flashed her a smug smile. “Who else could it be apart from your boyfriend?”
The color drained from Melanie’s face. She ended up stuttering in return, “W-What did you say? That’s utter nonsense! There’s no way he’ll like you!”
“Oh, he’s waiting for me in my room. I’m merely here to inform you about it. All right, it’s about time for me to join him in the room; he’s still waiting for me to take a shower with him!”
With that said, Rose shot her a look of contempt before sashaying upstairs.
Doubt fleeted across Melanie’s eyes. Is she telling the truth? Has Stephen truly gone to her room? N-No way! She must be making another lie to drive a wedge between him and me. I won’t fall for it!
Despite her thoughts, she still fished out her phone and dialed Stephen’s number. Unfortunately, he did not pick up the call.
After another attempt, she realized Stephen had switched off his phone, much to her dismay.
That fueled her uneasiness.
Has Stephen really gone to Rose’s room?
Images of Rose hugging Stephen, the duo drinking in the bar, and the provocative look on Rose’s face when she taunted her surfaced in her mind.
