Chapter 190
Wendy was speechless .
Trish’s voice came through , bubbling with excitement . “ Wendy , guess what ? Dr. Ceylan , the genius doctor , is actually a man ! And get this – he’s totally fallen for me . We’re dating now ! ”
What ?
Wendy’s mind was spinning .
“ I can’t talk to you right now . I’ll tell you more later . But hey , you need to come to come home in a couple of days , “ Trish said before hanging up the phone abruptly .
Wendy was certain now . Trish had to be dealing with some sort of scammer !
Wendy took a deep breath and shook her head . She quickly headed to the bathroom for a hot shower . As the stepped out , her phone rang again . This time , it was Luna calling .
Luna’s voice was filled with desperation , and Wendy could hear her crying . “ Wendy , I’ve run into some trouble Can you come help me ? ”
Wendy’s grip tightened on the phone . “ Luna , what’s going on ? ”
“ I’m working at the Gold Vista Hotel as a waitress , and just now , my manager took a liking to me and wanted me to spend the night with him . I got scared and hid in the bathroom , but his bodyguards were standing right outside watching me … Wendy , I’m so scared ! I don’t want to do this . I don’t know who else to call . I have no other friends , and no one can help me … ”
Luna’s voice cracked with fear as she sobbed .
“ Luna , don’t panic . Stay in the bathroom and don’t come out . I’m coming to get you right now , ” Wendy said , her tone firm .
“ Thank you , Wendy , ” Luna whispered , relief flickering through her voice .
Wendy hung up the phone and rushed straight to the Gold Vista Hotel .
Wendy arrived at the women’s restroom in the Gold Vista Hotel and , just as expected , she noticed two bodyguards standing by the entrance .
She walked calmly into the restroom . Inside , she found Luna , tear – streaked and looking utterly panicked . “ Wendy , you came , ” Luna gasped , her face pale and frantic .
Wendy took her hand gently . “ Luna , don’t worry . I’m going to get you out of here . ”
“ But Mr. Silva’s bodyguards re outside . How will we get past them ?” Luna’s voice trembled with anxiety . “ Simple . We’ll disguise ourselves . ”
Wendy had brought a bag in with her , and she reached inside , pulling out a dress , a hat , and a pair of sunglasses . ” Change into these . ”
Luna quickly changed , transforming from a sweet and innocent waitress into a bold , sultry woman . She looked completely different – no one would recognize her now .
“ Luna , we’re leaving now . ”
Chapter 100
Wendy took Luna’s hand and led her out .
The two bodyguards eutside looked at Luna as she walked past . Luna’s hands were shaking , she was terrified they might recognize her .
But Wendy held her trembling hand firmly and gave her a reassuring look .
Luna took a deep breath and followed Wendy out .
The bodyguards didn’t seem to notice anything unusual .
Luna let out a quiet sigh of relief . “ Thank God , ” she whispered .
“ Let’s hurry and get out of here , ” Wendy urged .
Just then , Luna froze , her eyes widening in panic . “ Wendy , I left my bag in the restroom ! I need to go back and get it . ”
Wendy stopped her , gripping her arm . “ Luna , you can’t go back now . It’s too dangerous . ”
“ I have to get it ! My tips for tonight are in there , ” Luna insisted , breaking free from Wendy’s grasp and turning to run back .
“ Luna , no ! ” Wendy called after her , but it was too late .
In that instant , Luna’s manager , Jake Silva , accompanied by two bodyguards , appeared , chasing after them . Jake , the slick , lewd man in his forties , now had a sharp gleam in his eyes . “ Luna , did you think you could run away ? Get her ! Take her back to my room , and make sure she’s cleaned up and ready ! ”
The two bodyguards lunged forward , grabbing Luna , whose face went white with fear . She was caught .
Wendy acted quickly , stepping in front of Luna and shielding her from the bodyguards . Her cold , piercing eyes locked onto Jake’s .
“ Stop ! What do you think you’re doing ? ” she demanded .
