Chapter 4: Diamond Darling, Devoted to Your Service
945 Words
She repeatedly urged herself to stay calm, not to let the drugs control her thoughts, yet her blood grew hotter and her breath more labored.
"There are people outside trying to harm me... please, help me..." Zoe Green spoke in a very soft voice, her words trembling uncontrollably, fragmented.
At that moment, a woman's scream faintly echoed from the room across the hall.
Zoe Green froze entirely.
This was her first time harming someone, even if it was tit for tat, there was still a chill in her heart.
During this frozen moment, the man grabbed her wrist as she covered his mouth, his hand broad, powerful, and chilling. He effortlessly pulled her hand away.
In that instant of skin contact, Zoe Green felt the tense string in her mind snap.
"You..."
Before the man could speak, Zoe Green kissed him directly!
What happened afterward, Zoe Green couldn't quite recall.
...
The spacious room was in disarray.
Zoe Green looked at the dress she wore last night, unsure if it was of poor quality or what, but it was now in tatters and unwearable.
Although she had cleverly taken her bag with her when leaving the room opposite.
However, there were sunglasses and a hat in the bag, but no spare clothes...
She helplessly glanced at the neatly hung shirts and suit jackets not far away, then looked back at the man still sound asleep.
After a moment, Zoe Green put on the shirt and wrapped herself in the oversized coat.
To avoid taking anything from the man, she rummaged in her pockets and only found a business card.
In the dim light, Zoe Green could make out a half-naked and enchanting flower boy printed on it, with a name: Diamond Darling, followed by a string of phone numbers, and below that, a line of small text: Devoted to Your Service.
She swallowed hard and glanced at the man on the bed.
So, he was into this?
But... he seemed quite inexperienced last night. Was it his first time?
Zoe Green pondered.
Since he was a professional, things were straightforward. Finish the business and pay, no other complications.
Her conniving parents had dressed her up meticulously for Mr. Jin from the opposite room, diamond earrings, bracelets, necklaces... whatever was expensive was adorned on her.
Thinking of her parents, Zoe Green's heart grew cold.
She took the hotel's pen and paper, scribbled a note in the dim light, then placed the diamond earring on top of the note.
Before leaving, she instinctively glanced at Diamond Darling.
After a lifetime of being deceived, now that she was reborn, she finally had a sense of crisis.
In the chaotic state of last night, she even knew to blindfold him with a headband, not letting him see her face...
Although the room was very dark and the red headband covered his eyes, Zoe Green could still confirm that he was an extremely handsome guy.
She felt a bit regretful. He looked so good, why did he choose this path?
Zoe Green didn't dare linger.
She just sighed briefly, put on her hat and sunglasses, and walked straight to the door.
Opening the door, the two bodyguards at the door looked alertly at her.
After this night, Zoe Green's inner fear had dissipated entirely.
She had crawled out of hell; now it was her turn to make others fearful.
The bodyguards glanced up and down at Zoe Green.
Her attire did indeed seem a bit strange.
Without giving them a second look, Zoe Green, wearing the hotel's slippers, swaggered out.
When she woke up after being defiled, she wanted to call the police immediately, but her deceitful parents claimed that being a popular singer, any report would surely leak, and then the media and marketing agencies would make a spectacle of it, ruining her!
Since she could remember, Zoe Green had lived in the false world constructed by her deceitful parents, believing every word they said.
But that time, she tried to struggle.
She had someone check the hotel's surveillance footage from that night, wanting to know how she ended up at the hotel. However, to her surprise, the hotel's surveillance footage had been tampered with, capturing nothing.
She had completely collapsed at that moment.
Now looking back, Sofia Green had plotted meticulously, of course leaving no trace for her to find.
But this time, Sofia Green destroying the hotel surveillance actually helped her.
Without surveillance, there's no proof she was at this hotel last night, right?
...
Not long after Zoe Green left, the man on the bed woke up.
Frowning, he sat up, reaching to untie the headband covering his eyes. Glancing around, just as Zoe Green expected, this was indeed an extraordinary handsome man.
The chaos in the room triggered the man's memories of the confusion last night, furrowing his brows even deeper, his gaze suddenly cooling.
Where did that woman go?
His gaze landed on the bedside table.
Reaching over, he picked up the earring and note Zoe Green had left.
"Hello, Mr. Diamond Darling, thank you for your help last night. I don't have cash on me, so this earring is your reward. Also, my dress was torn by you and I can't wear it anymore. I have urgent matters and must leave first, so I had to borrow your shirt and coat. My apologies!"
Diamond Darling?
James Smith's face darkened instantly, what was Diamond Darling?
The next moment, he saw the business card placed alongside the earring and note.
James Smith couldn't help but laugh bitterly.
Who would've thought, he James Smith, would also have a day when he earned money through his body.
