Chapter 1367
When Love Comes Late
She debated for ages about calling Elizabeth.
But if she did, Elizabeth would figure out she hadnât left Seamarsh and sheâd get in trouble.
In a panic, she recalled the business card Fernando had handed her.
Digging through her bag, she searched for it.
Finding it at last, she grabbed her phone and punched in the number.
âWhoâs this?â
Relieved at the familiar voice, Rose exhaled.
âItâs Rose.
Can you lend a hand? Thereâs a dead body.
â
âGive me the lowdown.
â
Fernandoâs steady tone eased Roseâs nerves.
She spilled the whole story.
âIf you can bail me out of this mess, Iâll think about backing Stella up.
I swear I didnât off the guy.
He just up and croaked.

She repeated her plea, worried Fernando might refuse.

âWhere are you?â
Rose rattled off the address without hesitation.
âWait up.

He rounded up a few guys and headed to the nightclub.
Upon arrival, they spotted several bodyguards guarding the room.
Fernando dialed the manager, commanding, âSend some girls their way.
Tell them itâs on Hessâ tab.
â
Though curious, the manager complied, not wanting to ruffle Fernandoâs feathers.
Once Hessâ crew cleared out, Fernando approached the door, hearing muffled cries from within.
Stepping inside, he surveyed the chaos.
A naked man lay sprawled in the bed.
It didnât take a genius to figure out what had gone down.
Fernando grimaced, spotting Rose cowering in a corner.
He hoisted her to her feet.
âCome on, letâs go.

Rose wobbled upright, her vision blurry with tears.
Finally seeing Fernando, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Glancing at Hess, she queried, âWhat about him?â
Fernando glanced at her, then away, nonchalant.
âMy guys will handle tee.
â
In a daze, Rose followed Fernando out, noticing the absent guards at the door.
A flicker of relief flickered across her.
The car glided along the open road, its destination unknown to Rose.
