Chapter 186
Neil was kissing me passionately, but he stopped when he heard what I said.
He looked up at me, his lips flushed red like a sprite in a painting
Just as our eyes met, there were footsteps outside along with Bonnie’s voice. Where’s Neid?”
“No idea, he just disappeared from here!‘ someone replied
Bonnie sounded really worried Gloria had drugged Neil, probably to help her but she didn’t expect Neil to be able to resist and leave.
She knew my room was down this corridor, she must be really freaking out, huh?
“Search every room! Bonnie ordered
Has she gone mad? Because she couldn’t chase Neil, she wanted to find evidence of Neil being with another woman
I never knew she enjoyed torturing herself so much. But if she does this. I’m screwed.
I quickly dialed Stella’s number. “Stella, where are you? Get Mitch and help me, pronto
I quickly filled her in and Stella immediately replied, “Okay, I’ll be there with Mitch right away Just make sure Neil doesn’t do anything stupid!”
I glanced at Neil, he was standing with his back to me, his wet shirt clinging to his broad back. He must be really confused right now.
“Okay hurry up“As soon as I hung up, there was a knock at the door
Bonnie called from outside, Trene, it’s me. Can I come in?”
I turned around and flatly refused her, “Sorry, I need some rest, so please leave
Bonnie was silent for a moment, then she said, “There’s been a thief tonight. One of my pieces of jewelry was stolen, so we need to check each room. Irene, can you open the door?”
What a crappy excuse! Even if Neil wasn’t here, I wouldn’t believe it
I ignored Bonnie and went back to sit on the bed, waiting for Stella and Mitch to come to my rescue
But what Bonnie did next took me by surprise: she actually started trying to open the door
Once they came in and found Neil here and then spread the word, I’m toast. My parents would be furious, and they would think I’m back together with
Neil
Even hiding Neil in the bathroom was useless because they would find him as soon as they come in
Just as I was getting all jittery. Neil headed towards the balcony. There was a two–meter wide guardrail and a narrow passage below it
“You’re going to jump? It s at least two or three meters high” I saw Neil climbing over the guardrail and couldn’t help but warn him.
“So you want me to stay? Neil’s voice was a bit hoarse, his eyes still filled with desire
I immediately shook my head.
With that, Neil jumped, and his figure disappeared into the narrow passage. I watched him disappear, he seemed very skilled, and he probably wasn’t
hurt
After Neil left, I went back to my room to sleep. Just then, the door was opened, and Bonnie rushed in, her eyes darting around for Neil,
“What are you doing? Bonnie, is this how you treated me when you invited me to the dinner party?” I sat on the bed, coldly staring at her
“Why are you alone in the room?” Bonnie asked.
Outside the door, a few people were holding their phones, ready to take pictures. Seeing me alone in the room, they looked at each other.
Tretorted, “So who do you think I should be with at this time?”
“You “Bonnie seemed to realize she had misspoken, her face both annoyed and frustrated. She purposely walked around the room and then looked at the balcony doo
“He was here just now, wasn’t he? Your lipstick is smudged “Bonnie had sharp eyes, her gaze filled with dissatisfaction and jealousy. Did he jump down from here?
I glanced at the people at the door, sneered, and didn’t answer her
Seeing me ignoring her, Bonnie’s face gradually turned ugly Just then, Stella’s voice came from outside. What’s going on? Why is everyone huddled up
“Stella, have you seen Ned? Bonnie is looking for him‘ I got up from the bed, walked to the door, and said loudly.
Stella glanced at Bonnie then signaled Mitch to answer
Mitch immediately replied. Tiel is resting in his room I just came from there”
He was close with Neil, and no one would doubt his words
Bonnie glanced at Mitch, and then, without saying a word, she left with a group of people
The room was quiet again, and I finally breathed a sigh of relief
If Bonnie found evidence of me and Neil together, I’d be in bigger trouble
“Amazing, he managed to jump down from here even though he’s injured?” Mitch walked to the balcony and looked down, truly impressed with Neil.

Thd he anything to
asked with co
I remembered Neil kissing me just now and felt a bit worried
he
( had some sense left. Otherwise, if he did something irreversible, that would be a disaster
“Nothing “I replied simply, then changed the subject. By the way, Russel suddenly went home. I think something happened to him, but he didn’t want to tell me
Upon hearing Russel’s name. Mitch sighed, “Yeah, something did happen to his family”
I was shocked. What happened?”
“He didn’t tell you? Not long ago, he made his stance clear to his parents, he rejected the arranged date, he wants to be with you. This made his parents really angry and they had a big fight with him. Actually, I didnt want to tell you this but things are not looking good Mitch scratched his head when he finished
I was speechless after hearing this.
Russel must be out of his mind I didn’t even agree to let him go public with this, and he already told his family
Our families were of equal status, but things would get complicated because I was Neil’s ei
“He’s really brave Stella admired him, “He really loves Rena”
I felt really troubled. I didn’t want Russel to have a conflict with his family because of me, and I didn’t agree to this. What he’s doing was essentially pressuring me
Mitch started talking again, “Rena, even though we’re pals now, I really don’t want Neil and Russel to have a falling out over you I also don’t want Russel’s family ties to go down the drain. He mentioned to me a few days ago that he could lose his doctor gig because of this, and his family’s really putting the screws to him”
Russel loves his job big time. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have ditched his family business to stick with being a doctor
