Chapter 391:
With that, he hurriedly took the elevator and left.
In the dimly lit room, Eileen switched on the faint light and called for a waiter to bring her some warm water.
Her feet were sticky, and changing shoes felt futile; she needed to wash them.
About five or six minutes later, there was a knock at the door.
âExcuse me, Iâve brought you some warm water.â
The voice was familiar, and Eileen paused for a moment before answering, âCome in.â
The door opened, and the bright light from the corridor spilled in. Although Dalores was backlit, her features somewhat blurred, Eileen recognized her immediately.
Her figure was simply too distinctive.
After giving Dalores the card last time, Dalores hadnât returned to the Freguson Group. Eileen didnât expect to encounter her here.
âMs. Curtis?â Dalores entered, placing the warm water next to Eileen. âWhat brings you here?â
âI have a business gathering here,â Eileen replied, glancing at the intern badge on Daloresâ chest.
Dalores pressed her lips together, remaining silent.
Eileen asked, âSo, did you give the card back to Julio?â Why would she be working in this place? The pay was good, but she was in need of money, wasnât she?

Eileen didnât press further. She washed her feet, still waiting for Raymond to arrive.
In the meantime, she continued her conversation with Dalores.
âThis isnât a great place to work. If you plan to stay here, make sure you protect yourself.â
Dalores nodded, looking genuinely touched. âThank you, Ms. Curtis, Iâll take care of myself.â
Before she could finish, Dalores suddenly covered her mouth and rushed out.
Eileen watched her hastily leave, stunned and unable to react immediately.
âMs. Curtis, here are your shoes.â Raymond entered, placing a pair of flat shoes in front of Eileen.
Eileen put on the shoes, glancing around. Dalores had vanished.
She decided not to interfere with Daloresâ affairs. Just as she was about to return to the original room, she saw Trenton emerge.
