Chapter 56: Plotted against
Lomesa pursed her lips into a thin line when she saw the flustered expression on the waiter's face.
"Miss, why dont i take you to change your clothes? this wine stain is too glaring." The waiter suggested with a smile. Indeed, when the waiter had taken out a tissue to wipe away the wine stain on Lomesa's silver gown, it didn't fade, instead, it spread even more. Sure enough, the gown was ruined . Lomesa didn't know if she could wash away the stain on the gown when she arrived home. After all, it would be a waste for the gown to be ruined just like that, it was Her adoptive mother's gift to her and it obviously cost a huge sum of money, how could Lomesa bear to see it ruined?However, even though her gown was stained with wine, Lomesa had no intention of changing into a new gown. She didn't see the need for that. Moreover, as a person who had experienced everything in life, she had a feeling that something was off . She couldn't exactly put a finger on what felt off, but she was sure that there was a problem somehow.
Lomesa pulled herself out of her trance and said politely;
"It's okay, I don't intend to change my clothes." Lomesa rejected her with a smile.
The waiter didn't seem to have anticipated such a response from Lomesa. Her expression froze for a moment before she put on her professional smile once again. She immediately began thinking quickly, her mind spun with different thoughts.
"How could that be? you must change your gown miss, look, the stain is really to glaring, I don't want you to embarrass yourself in public" The waiter said with a fawning smile. However, this smile didn't make Lomesa seem comfortable. Instead, it gave her an uneasy feeling. Looking at that smile, Lomesa found it especially creepy, so much that she turned her face away.
By now, Lomesa was very sure of one thing, Someone was plotting against her in the banquet. That person just used the waiter as a pawn. Lomesa looked around and frowned. It seemed like everyone was occupied with something, she knew that she couldn't call for help at that moment, after all, the banquet Hall was too noisy. If she dared to scream, she was sure that her voice would be swallowed up by the crowd. She couldn't help but sigh. She just wanted to enjoy the banquet in peace, why did people like provoking her? She didn't remember offending anyone!
She was just about to open her mouth to speak when she was suddenly attacked by a sharp bout of pain in her abdomen. It was so painful that Lomesa's face turned pale instantly. She couldn't help but bend down a little. The waiter naturally saw this, she knew that her chance had come. Thinking of the sum of money that had been deposited in her count an hour ago, she felt that she had to do whatever it took to make the girl go upstairs. That was what she had been Instructed to do earlier on. She couldn't afford to mess up the plan. She knew the consequences very well.
"Miss, what's wrong, why do you look so pale? " The waiter pretended to be flustered and when Lomesa was still distracted by the pain, she took the opportunity and clasped Lomesa's arm tightly. The grip was so tight that it made Lomesa regain some rationality.
"I'm just a little tired. Let go of my arm, I'll go and sit down over there" Lomesa tried to retract her hand while pointing at some seats that were placed in a certain secluded spot. To Lomesa's surprise, The waiter didn't have the intention of letting her go? She actually tightened her grip on Lomesa's arm even more. Lomesa was pale in complexion, her skin was also smooth and soft, now that the other party was gripping so tightly At her arm, A red patch immediately appeared. It was too eye-catching. Lomesa saw it bit she didn't have the time to think about that now. Her main mission at that moment was to get away from this waiter as soon as possible. But Lomesa had no hope. That was because, her strength had been sucked away by the pain that was consuming her bit by bit. She knew she stood no chance against this lunatic of a waiter. At that moment, Lomesa regretted not accompanying her adoptive mother when she asked her to do so not long ago. She wouldn't have met this plight. But, what was the point of regret at that point? She already knew three was no medicine for regrets in this world. Lomesa trued calming down but the crazy pain in her abdomen made her want to pass our immediately.
"Please let me go." Lomesa begged. Lomesa threw away her pride and dignity and begged the waiter. She just wanted to live. Even if it meant that she had to kowtow .
Hearing her beg, the Waiter immediately softened her facial features and Lowered her head to advise Lomesa softly;
"Listen to me, you just have to come with me to the room to change your clothes, then I'll let you go." The waiter looked at Lomesa with a gaze that seemed to say ; 'I'm doing this for your own good'
Lomesa looked at the waiter's righteous expression and scoffed inwardly.
She knew she wouldn't succeed, however, her endurance was reaching her wit's end. The pain was making Lomesa sway from time to time. It was clear that at that point, she had no strength to resist.Just as the waiter began dragging Lomesa upstairs, A figure came over and blocked her on the stairs. The waiter was scared that she staggered back a little. When she raised her head and looked at the sinister expression in the man's eyes, she couldn't help but shudder. Who was this man? why was his aura so scary? However, the man's gaze didn't linger on her for long, he quickly averted his eyes and scrutinised Lomesa with a frown on his face.
Lomesa was also looking at him in a daze.
"Are you okay? what's wrong?" The man's voice as he asked Lomesa was cold, but he couldn't hide the concern and worry in his voice on time, so the two ladies heard it. Instantly, the waiter's face turned pale. If this man was relayed to Lomesa, what would he do to her as punishment? The waiter couldn't help but gulp nervously from the side. At that moment, she hoped that Lomesa wouldn't rat her out. Otherwise, the waiter knew that she would be dead meat. Her future would definitely be ruined. Looking at this man, the waiter knew that he wasn't to be trifled with. Moreover, his noble aura and the clothes on his body were enough to make the waiter instantly believe that his identity wasn't ordinary. At that moment, Lomesa said soflty ;
"I'm not okay, I want to get out of here." She saud with furrowed brows. Even Kai who was looking at her with concern could feel her discomfort.
"Sir, I-"
"Alright, I'll get you out of here" The waiter wanted to explain something bit was cut off by Kai. Within no time, he stood before Lomesa and pulled her into his arms. Lomesa looked into his eyes and immediately lost consciousness. She was just holding on at that moment. After all, she knew what it would mean the moment she went upstairs with the Waiter. From the look of things, someone wanted to ruin her dignity and reputation using some despicable means, fortunately, Kai arrived on time. Infact, Lomesa has always been wary of men. It's just that in the situation earlier, she felt that it would be better if she left with Kai, otherwise, she didn't know what scary things the waiter would have done to her had she followed her upstairs.
Kai frowned uncomfortably when she saw her pale countenance. At that moment, she was leaning onto Kai after fainting. Seeing this, Kai immediately bent down and carried her. He didn't want to attract unnecessary attention and questions, thus, he used the back door and left silently deep in the night. The waiter was left standing there awkwardly. She didn't know what to say. Perhaps the money that was deposited in her account earlier would be taken away again? No, she couldn't let that happen!
Kai used one hand to open the car door and gently put Lomesa down . He made her lie down on the backseat that seaved as a bed for the time being. He knew she was feeling unwell. Moreover, with Kai's many years of being in the underworld, he wasn't very unfamiliar with the smell of blood. Just a few seconds ago, he smelt the blood on Lomesa..However, since she was still unconcious, Kai decided to take her to his place first. They would know once they arrived. As he was driving, Kai chalked his personal doctor, .
The doctor was just ready to cuddle his wife to sleep when he received Kai's call. He dared not dawdle. He immediately explained it to his wife and hastily dressed up before rushing out .
Samantha, who was just about to execute her final move, suddenly froze when she saw the waiter's troubled expression...
