Chapter 740 Ask Someone To Send You
After hanging up the call, all Aubree could think of was everything Lucian had done for Roxanne.
At the same time, she felt grateful for staying out of that matter. If I’d done anything, Lucian would definitely find out. If that happens, I’m afraid I’ll face a fate as terrible as Jessica’s. Still, Lucian is blatantly favoring that b*tch, Roxanne, now. If this situation drags on, I’ll risk losing my position as Lucian’s fiancée! I need to make a move.
Aubree sat inside the room for the entire morning but failed to come up with any plan. In the afternoon, when the waitress came to deliver her meal, she got up to open the door.
Aubree frowned slightly at the sight of the waitress pushing the cart full of food into the room as an idea popped into her head.
The waitress was shifting the plates of food from the cart to the dining table when a hand suddenly appeared from behind her.
“That’s not needed. I’ll do it myself,” Aubree uttered gently.
The waitress was stunned after hearing that. She regained her senses after a few seconds and instinctively rejected, “This is my obligation. You—”
Before she could finish the rest of her sentence, the waitress felt someone slam into her.
“Ah!” Aubree yelped and staggered two steps backward. Then, she fell to the floor on her side as an agonized expression spread across her face.
Even before the waitress could make sense of the unexpected turns of events, she already realized anyone who could stay in the presidential suite was either very affluent or highly influential, so there was no doubt she could not afford to offend this woman.
Regardless of whether she had anything to do with the customer’s fall, there was no way for her to deny responsibility since that incident happened when she delivered the meal.
“I’m terribly sorry. It was my fault for being careless. Are you all right?” the waitress hastily apologized without hesitation.
Aubree held her arm and wore a tight frown. “My arm is hurting so badly.”
The waitress panicked at once after hearing that. “I’ll send you to the hospital right away!”
She reached out to help Aubree up from the floor as she spoke.
Naturally, Aubree’s goal was not to visit the hospital. When she heard the waitress’ offer, she immediately shook her head. “That’s not needed. I’m going to make a phone call.”
Perturbation overwhelmed the waitress’ mind after Aubree said she wanted to make a phone call.
Since Aubree did not order her to leave, the waitress had no other choice but to remain rooted in her spot and wait.
Subsequently, Aubree dialed Lucian’s phone number, but it took quite a while for the call to be picked up.
“What’s the matter?” Lucian asked coldly. He had just finished his work in the morning and was about to have lunch when he suddenly received Aubree’s call.
An icy glint flashed across her eyes when she sensed his indifferent tone. Despite that, her tone was pitiful as she said, “Lucian, my arm is hurting.”
He furrowed his brows after listening to her. “Go to a hospital then.”
However, Lucian was swiftly reminded of his mother’s instruction to take care of Aubree, prompting him to add, “I’ll ask someone to send you to the hospital if necessary.”
Aubree’s expression grew increasingly ugly. “That’s not needed. The injury is not that severe, but it’s a little painful. It’ll be inconvenient for me to live alone in the hotel, so can I go to your place and stay there for a couple of days?”
The waitress was baffled when she saw the changes in Aubree’s expression and heard her tone. However, the next second, Aubree glared at the waitress, causing the latter to be scared out of her wits.
On the other end of the phone call, Lucian knitted his brows without showing any inclination to agree to Aubree’s request. All along, Roxanne has been wary of my status as Aubree’s fiancé, contributing to her reluctance to accept my pursuit. Her perception of me is finally improving now. If I allow Aubree to move into my house, I’m afraid all my previous efforts will go down the drain.
