Chapter 32: What the Hell Is Happening?

Lucas and May went down the hotel by elevator. On the way, when he saw an employee or was within the range of the cameras, Lucas struggled to keep his face from being seen. Since May is being so careful in dealing with this situation, he couldn’t be the one to screw it up.

May, on the other hand, was thinking about the information she received from the doorman and sorting it out to decide her next move. For now, she decided to go after the women who were abused by Clovis and who still work at the hotel.

She would not have the mental strength, so these two women fill her with both admiration and sadness. The fact that they still work in a place that has brought them so much suffering can only mean two things; one, they desperately need the money, or two, they want revenge.

Honestly, May can understand her feelings, she also has a past about revenge, but what they are doing May certainly couldn’t do. Although she struggles to control herself, May is originally a more honest person with her feelings, even impulsive.

If she worked at the hotel that Clovis uses to practice his atrocities, she would have long ago done some nonsense and screwed up. She wouldn’t have the patience and willpower to take it.

Can you imagine? Work among people who contribute to this. Seeing Clovis constantly bringing women, coworkers helping, his boss giving the go-ahead for everything...

Closing the eyes and putting herself in the situation, May imagines herself having to be extremely careful not to run into Clovis at this hotel, keeping watch at all times so that she is not kidnapped again. That psychological pressure alone would be enough to drive her insane.

Taking a deep breath, May cleared her mind of these disturbing thoughts. Whenever she thinks about these things, Sofia appears in her mind, and she is even more disturbed. Looking at the led in the elevator that says that there were only ten floors to go down, she turned to Lucas and pushed him against the wall.

Kissing Lucas on the mouth, May began to caress him everywhere, and when there was a chance, she spoke in his ear.

“At three, you push me back to the other wall, and I’m going to throw the handkerchief I brought on the camera so you can change your clothes.”

Lucas said nothing and simply answered May’s caresses and kisses. He was annoyed, however, as May didn’t seem to be reacting very well to this, she seemed a little rigid. Remembering the situation, he concluded that it had to do with the seriousness of the situation.

The truth, however, was that until a few minutes ago, May was having a lot of disturbing thoughts, she wasn’t in the mood. When he felt that May was not in the mood, Lucas’s excitement also went down.

After May counted three, Lucas pushed her back to the opposite wall, where the camera was. She then took a hidden handkerchief and threw it at the camera, completely covering the lens.

Lucas then quickly undressed and changed his clothes. The whole time, May watched the camera so the handkerchief would not fall. When he finished changing clothes, the two approached the elevator door, they reached the ground floor.

Quickly leaving the elevator without removing the handkerchief from the camera, they looked around to assess the location, and found, at the reception, four women sitting on chairs.

The two approached while talking happily. Some people were talking to the receptionists, so they got into one of the lines and watched the women. They all had a name tag on their chest, so the two quickly located their targets; Carla and Lindsay.

Carla was Latin, looked to be in her thirties. Brown skin, pretty face with light makeup, medium height, with medium breasts, long black hair. Lindsay had short blond hair, blue eyes, a short girl with medium breasts. The two are beautiful; perfect for the job they do as receptionists.

At that moment, they showed wonderful smiles while talking to customers. Lucas moved to Lindsay’s queue, and May went to Carla’s queue. They had already discussed before that they would try to approach them by asking to speak privately with them.

A few seconds later, Lucas was the first, he was finally able to speak to Lindsay.

“Hi, how can I help?”

With a beautiful smile, Lindsay asked Lucas. Getting as close as possible, Lucas lowered his voice and said.

“Hello, Lindsay. Can I talk to you privately?”

Lindsay’s smile faltered a little; Lucas managed, for a second, to see an expression of disgust, but she managed to hide it deftly. In an equally low voice, Lindsay answered.

“Sir, I can’t help you with that.”

Raising her voice, she asked again.

“Can I help you with anything else, sir?”

“It’s important, it’s about our mutual friend.”

Lucas insisted, this time being a little clearer. Lindsay probably thought Lucas was hitting on her. Lindsay, on the other hand, was confused, and did not know how to respond. Seeing her without understanding anything, Lucas hinted a little.

“Remember? Our great friend Clovis. I want to talk to you privately about him.”

Lindsay’s expression went cold when she heard Clovis’s name. Looking around and seeing that no one was looking at them, she got a little closer and said.

“Friend?”

“Yes, we love him, right?”

Lucas made an insinuating expression, which finally made Lindsay understand a little of what was going on. Looking around again, she took an item from among her things and placed it on the front counter; it was a sign saying that, temporarily, the attendant would be out.

“Okay sir, just follow me.”

Showing her beautiful smile again, Lindsay got up and started to guide Lucas, as if she were going to help him with something. Anyone who saw it from outside thought it was something serious since the two were talking quietly.

Those behind Lucas quickly went to other lines, and a few seconds later, May and Carla also left, leaving customers and the other two receptionists puzzled.

On the way, Lucas warned about May and Carla, so the two slowed down and talked casually about the hotel. After a while, when they saw Carla and May behind, they increased their pace, and a few minutes later, they arrived in a small room inside the hotel; the sign on the door was even specifying that it could only be used by members of the hotel staff.

The four entered the room, and Carla closed the door behind. Lucas and May looked around to see if the room had cameras. Lindsay, who realized their suspicion, said.

“We’ve searched this place before; it doesn’t have cameras or wiretaps, it’s safe. Just ... Let’s talk quietly. In this place, most employees are enemies. If we’re not careful, the simple act of walking together can seem suspicious.”

Lucas, who was already expecting something like this, nodded. As they were victims of Clovis, and the doorman Paul himself pointed out that the two could be plotting revenge, the suspicion about the two is great. Most hotel staff are not directly involved, but are silent, pretending they don’t know anything. If they hear something, they can use it to gain some benefit, so both have to be constantly on guard.

May came to a similar conclusion, then nodded and spoke in a low voice.

“My sister was also a victim ... I want revenge. Do you have anything?”

Carla was silent, doubting whether she could trust May. As for Lindsay, she looked at May closely and noticed her beauty and attractive body. Raising an eyebrow, she said.

“What are you doing looking for revenge with that face and body? You will be swallowed before you can even do anything.”

Upon hearing this, May was very upset. Gritting the teeth, she said resolutely.

“I don’t care.”

Lindsay said nothing and was also silent; the two wanted to know how much they could trust May. After all, this can be a trap. Both, however, overestimate themselves. Clovis would never see them as threats. The reason employees are watching them is purely for personal reasons, they want to profit, if they can, from this situation.

Since Clovis would never see them as a threat, he would not make a crazy plan to send people to get information from the two. Of course, the same could not be said for the employees. But if they were friends with any of the employees, they would be normal people, not a beautiful, attractive woman like May; is what Lindsay and Carla thought when looking at May.

After evaluating the two, Carla asked.

“What do you hope to get from us?”

“I don’t know, any proof? Or useful information. Anything, I’m desperate.”

May responded quickly with a serious expression. At the very least, she hoped to get useful information about the hotel’s internal situation. The names of the main employees involved, those who may know or have some useful information ... She needed a clue.

Before Carla could respond, however, the door of the room opened. At the door, a woman was looking at the four people in the room. Seeing that they were in a conversation, she shrank a little, but in the end, she still said something in a language that almost nobody understood.

‘Wasn’t the door locked with a key?’

May thought silently as she raised her guard. Lucas, the only person who understood, answered back. Upon hearing Lucas speak, the woman smiled brightly and started talking non-stop. The two then engaged in a conversation, upsetting the other people in the room. May nudged Lucas, hoping he would give a hint of what was going on.

Although Carla and Lindsay hid it well, they reacted strangely when this woman entered the room, so she didn’t know what was going on, nor what they were talking about.

Lucas smiled and didn’t answer, he just kept talking to the woman. She looked about thirty, blonde with long hair, blue eyes, a beauty mark under the right eye, she looked very sexy, especially the way she was dressed, wearing a short skirt. This woman’s name is Nicole, she came looking for someone who knew how to speak her language; French.

Apparently, she found a problem in her room and went down to try to talk to the staff, but nobody knew how to speak French. After trying hard to communicate with some employees, she wandered around, having heard that some of the employees knew French. Finally, she arrived in that room, and when she saw that Lucas knew French, she decided to ask him for help.

Lucas talked happily with her and left the room to help. It seems that she has a problem with the shower, the water was very cold, and she couldn’t raise the temperature.

Leaving May, Carla, and Lindsay behind, Lucas got into the elevator and went up. The two continued talking casually on the way.

...

Downstairs, at the elevator door, May turned to Carla and Lindsay and asked.

“Who is she?”

The two, however, were in complete silence looking at a piece of paper they received from the woman. On the paper, it was written.

“You are under surveillance. Leave the hotel and go to that address.”

Below was an address. They showed the paper to May, who read it quickly and looked around worried that she had made a mistake in coming to this place. Remembering that, strangely, the woman took Lucas, she wondered if she should wait for them, but seeing that Carla and Lindsay said nothing, probably planning to follow what was written on the paper, she nodded and left the hotel.

The three got into May’s car and drove away. Inside the car, Carla finally spoke.

“That woman came to see us a few days ago saying she was from the CIA, she asked for our full cooperation in an investigation of Clovis.”

‘Things got complicated,’ thought May when she heard this. If that woman is from the CIA ... If the country is getting involved, things will get complicated from then on. Biting her lip, May again thought of Lucas, who was with this woman at the hotel at the time.

‘He’ll be fine, right?’

May thought as she listened to Carla’s details.
