บททั้งหมดของ HER STRANGE ENCOUNTER WITH A BILLIONAIRE : บทที่ 61 - บทที่ 70

" When's the flight to Seattle scheduled for?" Val asked, trying as much as she could to be calm and not panic. She looked at herself in the small full-body dresser mirror that matched the regal interior design of the room.Attorney Chris drew a part of her hair with a finger and smelt in the scent. He said with a knowing smirk. "9 pm. Why?"" Nothing. I was wondering why you'd book a flight tonight for Seattle when I'm being blackmailed the same night" Val sighed as she wiped her hands one last time before dropping the small towel which she cleaned herself with. She picked up her earrings and started to put them on." Don't you think you should watch your tone? Besides, you're being too comfy in this situation and I don't like it" Attorney Chris whispered in her ears and snaked his hands around Val. He voiced out his discontent towards Val's attitude.Val's heart pounded hard against her chest, not in any other emotion but fear. She could see how her eyes had reddened and become mois

Close to an hour or two later, Val sat in the waiting lounge looking as the police department bustled with officers and outlaws even late in the evening. Just when she was being escorted out by the female police officer, Val had put on her dress and was now occupied by the thought of attorney Chris leaking her nudes. She had been questioned regarding the situation and Val had recounted her side of the story in scrambled details. She was too bereaved to focus and recollect everything that had happened. While still in the waiting lounge, Val tapped her feet on the floor as she stared straight at a point. She couldn't rest easy knowing attorney Chris was still in there, and the police haven't informed her that they had collected the nudes pictures of her that attorney Chris had with him.' What if he actually has other allies in on this? What if he already made a compact that the nudes be uploaded as soon as news got out that he was arrested or if they didn't hear from him at a certai

Val was devastated and confused as to what to do. She needed to get to Seattle as soon as possible. Val's face contorted in disappointment. Val had planned to find a hotel room to rest in once she got to Seattle and then prepare herself to meet Bob at the court afterwards." We could take a rest and return before that time" Aidan stepped in to suggest.However, Val couldn't stand staying in San Francisco any longer. The more she stayed, the more she felt uneasy. It was as though something bad would happen if she didn't leave instantly. In the end, Val decided to wait till the scheduled time for the flight to take off." I guess I'll wait here and see how things go. You should return Aidan" Val excused Aidan after having settled in the departure lounge. It was almost 1 am already and she was supposed to take the 2 am flight which was now delayed until 6 am." I'll stay and see to it that you leave safely ma'am. How am I to face Mr Richardson if anything happens to you?" Aidan politel

" W-what happened? Why? Why is he arrested?" Bob asked hurriedly. The concern and worry in his expression couldn't be hidden. He was a bit unsure if this was not another of Courtney's provocation. There was no telling what that evil vermin could do." Long story" Val answered with a sense of melancholy and a lowered head. She wasn't in the right state to talk about what had happened at the moment." But look! you need to find an attorney or something. Or! Or! we could convince the judge that attorney Chris was arrested in the last minute before the trial and have him adjourn the case again till you find another attorney to represent you. You have to do something quick!" Val rambled in a state of panic. The more she mentioned attorney Chris the more her heart ached, remembering she still didn't know the situation of things back in Seattle, and whether her nudes had been leaked or not.' Another attorney?' Bob raised an eyebrow in confusion. Why would Val ask him to get another attorney

Getting to the hotel room that he'd reserved, Mark ushered Maggie in and made certain that she settled in comfortably first.The room felt like a cozy sanctuary away from the cold and damp air outside. It was spacious with a comfortable king-sized bed adorned with fluffy pillows and crisp sheets taking up most of the space. The walls and interior decor were of stylish modern design which were of tasteful and soothing color. Behind the furled curtain was a glass window that offered a stunning view of the city below. It seemed a perfect place to relax, unwind, and enjoy a peaceful stay." I'll get the attendants to bring us something. In the meantime, make yourself comfortable" He said and moved to the desk in the corner where a landline was to call for the attendant's service.Maggie nodded her head and just lowered her head in thought. The hotel room was nice but it wasn't above Maggie's taste. She was used to luxury and class. Soon Mark returned to her side and asked again." You ok
