Chapter 225

guys quickly saluted Winnie and addressed her respectfully, “Ma’am!”Winnie kept her head low the entire time.Christopher shot her a glance before motioning at the innkeeper.“Get me a pen and paper right now!”“Coming right up!” the innkeeper replied as he got to his feet.The innkeeper then grabbed a pen and paper and handed them over to Christopher, who scribbled a number on the paper and gave it to Winnie in front of everyone.“Here, this is my number. Give me a call if you need anything. I’ll come to see you once I’m done with work. If anyone dares bully you in Lightspring, just tell them you’re my woman. Those who mess with you will suffer my wrath.”Winnie knew Christopher’s words were meant for Wesley to hear, so she played along and nodded submissively at him in response. “All right.”Sure enough, Wesley gritted his teeth in anger when he saw that.Upon seeing his response, Christopher frowned and came up with a very bold idea.He leaned in close and gave Winnie a kiss on the lips.It was a quick and light peck, but their lips did indeed make contact with each other.Winnie’s eyes went wide with shock as she didn’t see it coming.Christopher knew she would respond like this, so he quickly covered her eyes with his hands.His heart was racing out of excitement, and his feelings of guilt kept him from looking her in the eye.“All right, you take care now. I’ll come back for you soon,” Christopher said as he put his sunglasses back on and left with his men.Winnie instinctively turned to look at Xavier as soon as the car drove off, only to realize he was nowhere in sight.Oh, no… He definitely has the wrong idea now! I had better go explain to him what happened last night! Winnie was about to go look for Xavier when Greta ran over and whispered, “Ms. Garland, that woman over there has been staring at us this whole time. She’s the one who slept with that Wesley guy last night. I’m guessing the two of them are very close. She seems to be helping him keep an eye on you.”Winnie frowned when she heard that. “Let’s head back to the room,” she replied without looking back.“Don’t worry; just follow my lead. We’ll make a left after going around the corner. If she follows us, I’ll catch her and give her a little beating. That ought to teach her a lesson. We can’t survive out here unless we show them what we’re capable of,” Greta reassured her.Winnie nodded. “All right. I’ll leave it to you, then.”Instead of leaving the inn, the two of them continued chatting casually as they made their way to the side and waited behind the corner.Minutes went by, but the woman never showed up.“Heh, she’s gone. I bet she’s too scared to follow us. She probably knows we’re going to jump her!” Greta said with a snicker after peeking around the corner.“Forget about her, then,”
