Chapter 16 Mr. Charles Calls for Me
Chapter 16 Mr. Charles Calls for Me
As soon as I left HT Villa District, I received a call from Billie. At first, I thought she called to inform me
about Davidson’s condition had deteriorated. But, as soon as I picked up, I heard a loud crying sound
from the hospital and Billie was shouting on the other of the phone, “No...You can’t take away
Davidson! Ms. Cornell, you need to come back soon, they are going to take Davidson away!"
"What's going on, Billie?" I was frightened by the crying sound on the other end of the phone, but Billie
didn't answer me at all, and the phone was hung up. I had no time to hesitate but to hurry back to the
hospital.
Before I entered the infusion room, I saw Billie was sitting in the corridor and crying her heart out. At
the moment when she saw me, she quickly pulled me and vented her frustration, "Mrs. Cornell came
here to take Davidson away. I resisted but they forcibly brought him out, and even fired me!"
Upon hearing this, my blood was boiling. I never thought that Shania and others would be so Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
unreasonable. "Billie, don't worry about it. You go home first, and I will take Davidson back!" I
reassured Billie. Since Billie was already an elder, and she had been here to take care of Davidson
these days, if I kept on troubling her to help, I was afraid she couldn’t cope with the pressure and
stress.
"But..." Billie was worry about me.
I smiled, "You don't have to worry as I won't be acting impulsively." After I had calmed Billie down, I
hurried back to the Cornell family’s house, and I was stunned by the scene in front of me.
Davidson, who was still unconscious when I left, was not only awake at this moment, but he was also
playing with Alicia, while Shania and Marvin were sitting on the sofa and watching TV. This scene with
a family of four looked so harmonious that I almost suspected that I had entered the wrong house.
"How dare you to come!" When Marvin saw me, he became angry instantly, and he seemed to want to
fight with me again after he got up.
Shania gently held Marvin’s hand, "Marvin, since Davidson has been brought home safely, you don't
have to be angry. Also, no matter how she takes advantage of Davidson, she is his own sister. If you
were to hit her in front of him, at the current Davidson's age, he will definitely be traumatized by what
he sees!"
"Get out of here now!" Marvin directly threw an ashtray at me. Fortunately, I dodged fast enough.
Otherwise, if I were to be hit by such a hard object, I would be admitted to the hospital.
However, I was not in the mood to argue with Marvin. I just wanted to make sure that Davidson was
safe, and then took him away immediately. But, as soon as I got closer to him, Davidson looked
terrified, and I was puzzled, "Davidson, come on. I'll take you home!"
Davidson shook his head repeatedly and fell back into Alicia's arms. She then smiled and looked at
me, "My dear sister, stop scaring Davidson away. Isn't it enough for you to hurt Davidson!"
"Davidson, tell me. What have they done to you? As long as I'm here, you don’t have to be afraid!" I
took a step forward towards Davidson, but he quickly ran upstairs in fear. I wanted to get up and chase
after him, a hard slap from Marvin was landed on my cheek, "What a heartless brat. First, you lied to
me for money, and now your auntie has finally rescued Davidson from your ruthlessness, how dare you
come here pretending that you are nice. I'm going to kill you!" Marvin strangled my neck and beaten me
up again. After the fight, he threw me out of the gate.
I stood outside and leaning against the stone wall. I did not even care that the pouring rain had soaked
me, and I could not even bother that my whole body that full of many wounds and scars. I just wanted
to know what had happened to Davidson, so I refused to leave.
However, Cheryl called me at this time and asked me to go to work. I tried to get work leave, but she
refused to accept my request. Instead, she told me that I would be fired if I were absent that night.
Although I was not willing to work in the club, I absolutely couldn’t afford to lose this job. Moreover,
Davidson’s 100,000 yuan operation fee had yet to be fully paid. Perhaps, I could ask Cheryl to pay my
salary in advance, and this would be the last glimmer of hope I could hold on to.
As soon as I entered YES Club, the ladies who were standing at the door to greet the guests, looked at
me strangely. They all appeared to be shocked as if I had become something weird, but then they
sneered at me again.
"Which man was she beaten up by? It seems to be very rough and exciting!" Standing in the line, Leah
said with a flat tone, but her voice was loud enough for everyone present to hear, and the other ladies
burst into laughter.
I knew that I looked in my worst state ever. My hair was messy, most parts of my clothes were torn, and
my body was even covered with swollen wounds. I guessed the nosebleed remained at my nose too.
"Rach, why are you so careless to fall this badly?" Summer walked out of the group of ladies and
shouted to help me out, "Cheryl is waiting for you in the office. Go ahead now!"
I was moved by Summer’s kind gesture and I smiled back at her. I had experienced too much pain and
hardships throughout those few days. I didn't feel the slightest warmth from anyone else and Summer
was the first who had given me the comfort that I had been seeking for.
Summer took me to Cheryl's office, "Quickly get in. I am waiting for you at the door. It's good news for
you, man!" Before I went in, Summer gave me a bright and playful smile, which had warmed my
gloomy heart.
I pushed the door open and went in. Cheryl did not speak when she saw me coming in, but she got up
and encircled me several times. I felt uncomfortable to be seen in this way, but I still managed to
squeeze a smile, "Cheryl, can you please do me a favor? I want to for an advance salary of 100,000
yuan!" I was afraid that Cheryl would not agree, and so I hurriedly explained, "Don't worry, I will never
take the money and leave, I will work hard until I..."
"Impossible!" Before I could finish my words, Cheryl interrupted me mercilessly, "YES Club has never
paid anyone for any advance salaries. Even 1,000 yuan is absolutely impossible, let alone 100,000
yuan. A non-negotiable rule in YES Club has always been work first and pay later. We will never do
anything that makes us lose money!"
"Cheryl, I really need this money!" I was about to cry, but I desperately suppressed it.
"No way!" Cheryl still refused relentlessly.
At this moment, I had the urge to kneel in front of Cheryl. As long as someone was willing to lend me
100,000 yuan, it didn’t matter if I kneel and kowtow to the person. But, thinking about it, Cheryl was not
the owner of the YES Club, and this was the second day I went there to work, so it made sense for
people to not lend me such an amount of money.
"Thank you, Cheryl!" I lowered my head in disappointment and turned as I was about to leave.
"Mr. Charles ordered you!" When I walked out the door, Cheryl said, "He is now waiting for you in the
room. Hurry up, don't keep Mr. Charles waiting!"
My whole body froze suddenly, "Mr. Charles calls my name? He... Doesn't he come at twelve o'clock
every day? Why did he come so early today?" I felt scared as if my whole body was strangled, and I
couldn't even move.
"It's also weird to me too. Since you started working, Mr. Charles has come earlier than before, and he
even wanted to..." Cheryl stopped her statement halfway through. When she noticed that I was still
there, she immediately said in a serious voice, "Go now, if Mr. Charles gets angry, you and I will suffer!"
I initially wanted to ask if I could not go, but suddenly I felt that this question was completely redundant.
After seeing Cheryl who looked so eager throughout the conversation, if I refused to go, she would tie
me up and brought me to the room no matter what, with the help of Mr. Charles’ private bodyguards,
who were all wearing a black suit and standing at the door.
I was speechless.
I opened the door despite feeling helpless and worried, but Summer was happy and eager to know
what would happen to me next. The two bodyguards at the door followed me, and as
expected...
