Trapped by Him

Chapter 58

Christine walked very fast. She soon reached the Public Relations Department's lounge and walked past it toward the manager's office.

Her stilettos tapped against the marble tiles, and she looked angry. The staff trembled in fear as they watched Christine walk straight toward her destination.

She kicked the office door open, making a huge noise.

Christine roared furiously, "Emily, I want an explanation!"

Emily was startled. She looked at Christine, who appeared out of the blue, and asked, "Christine, what's going on?"

Christine walked into the office and slammed the door shut, blocking those probing gazes.

She stood at the door with her arms crossed. Looking at Emily coldly, she said, "Who said you could arrange work for Gloria? Don't you know that she is still sick? Did you have my permission?"

Emily felt relieved and dissatisfied when she heard that Christine was here for Gloria.

Emily said, "Christine, I'm the manager of the Public Relations Department after all. At least I get to arrange work for my employees, right?"

She didn't ask Gloria to work today at all. Even if she did, she had every right to do so. After all, she was Gloria's superior.

"Emily, if you say so, then you are leaving me no other choice. Tell you what? Emily, you don't need to come to work tomorrow," Christine sneered.

Emily's gaze turned sharp. She glared at Christine and asked, "What do you mean, Christine?"

She thought, 'Are you going to fire me just like that, simply because I asked a sick employee to work?'

"I think I've made myself clear enough. Emily, you don't need to come here tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow. Go back to the Black Thorn Pack. Yes, you are fired!" Christine was furious. She sneered and raised her chin, "Get it?"

Emily trembled with fury. She didn't have Alpha's blood. But her parents were members of the Black Thorn Pack, and she grew up there.

However, Christine was a rogue and was taken in by the Black Thorn Pack.

Emily slammed on the desk and stood up, trembling in anger. "Christine, you've gone too far! What did I do wrong? How could you fire me just like that?"

"Did I ask you to arrange a job for Gloria? You are her superior. She is sick. Don't you know about that?" Christine asked.

"If she's sick, she can ask for leave. Since she showed up for work, I wouldn't let her sit around. I don't care if she is sick or not," Emily said indifferently.

Christine sneered. She didn't think Emily should arrange work for sick employees. However, what Emily said just now did make sense.

Therefore, she wouldn't have any objections if Emily had arranged work for a sick employee.

However, things were different. What kind of work did Emily arrange for Gloria? Emily put Gloria through a lot!

"That's why you sent a sick employee to Toby's room on the third floor?" Christine paused. Then she mocked, "Maybe others don't know what kind of person Toby is, but Emily, you have been working in Fittro Club for years. Don't tell me you are the same as them. Those from the Blue Moon Pack have a history of torturing call girls for fun. Don't you know that?"

She scolded Emily angrily, "The stitches on Gloria's head are still there, and you sent her to Toby! Toby is a pervert! How many call girls have died after being tortured by him?"

"Toby has money. He can make everything go away," Emily said stubbornly.

"So? Gloria needs money, and Toby is rich. So, you decided to leave her with Toby and let her drown in front of Toby as some reality show?" Christine roared angrily.

At first, Emily was angry, thinking that Christine was going too far. However, the words Christine said in the next few seconds made Emily's expression uglier, and a cold sweat broke out on Emily's forehead.

"I'll share a secret with you." Christine deliberately told Emily the secret, though it was above Emily's pay grade. Christine leaned toward Emily's ear and said, "Gloria did drown. There was something wrong with the water container. It wouldn't open."

Emily's back was already drenched in a cold sweat after she knew the secret, yet it wasn't over. Christine's next sentence frightened Emily utterly, and Emily slumped to the ground.

"Do you know who finally got Gloria out?" Christine spat out a name, "Alpha Patrick."

Of course, Emily knew who that was. Patrick was Fittro Club's boss.

Emily was a staff member of Fittro Club as well as a member of the Black Thorn Pack.

And right now, Christine was telling Emily that it was Patrick that got Gloria out.

Emily fell to the ground. Her legs went soft, and her brain buzzed. Christine didn't say anything else, but what she had said was already enough.

Emily's mind was a mess. She suddenly raised her head and said in a loud voice, "I don't know where Gloria was today. Wait a minute, Christine. I'll find out about it."

Emily thought, 'It must have been some stupid fuck who got Gloria up there.

I lived in the Black Thorn Pack when I was a kid. Yet I went to a human school later, so I didn't know much about the pack. If I had known Gloria was involved with Alpha Patrick, I wouldn't have picked on Gloria at all. I don't want to die.'

Christine was a bit confused. She knew Emily well, and she didn't think Emily was lying.

However, if Emily didn't arrange it, why would Gloria go to Room 3?

At the same time, Emily ran out and asked around, "Where is she?"

"What?"

"Gloria! Where is she?"

"She's in the lounge. Emily, are you looking for Gloria?"

Emily ran like a gust of wind before the other person finished speaking.
