Chapter 154: Help Offered

Mr. Adolpho stared intently at Rita, waiting for her to speak, but she uttered not a single word. She just sat there, gazing at him with tearful eyes.

"Why do you care?" She asked and his eyes quivered as he too didn't understand why he cared. His brow creased a bit, and he took a low breath. "Pretty, I don't even know why I care, but for the fact that I'm sitting here in front of you, then fate just wanted us to meet." He smiled charmingly at her, and Rita's lashes blinked furiously.

She sniffed, and a low breath escaped her nose. She was about to turn when someone slammed his hand on the table and she and Mr. Adolpho couldn't help but look up, only to see a young man clad in a black hoodie and black pants. His gaze was specifically fixed on Rita.

Rita's eyes trembled in fear at the sight of this person, who was obviously Alex, and her body began to shudder uncontrollably.

Mr. Adolpho's brow wrinkled deeply as he noticed Rita's body, which was trembling violently. He glanced at her face only to dilate his eyes at the amount of fear that he glimpsed from her expression. What makes her this fearful? This he couldn't help but wonder about.

"Young Miss Janet, please follow me." Alex smiled viciously at her, and Rita's body throbbed more violently. She drew back a little, falling into Mr. Adolpho's arms, and quickly straightened up.

Mr. Adolpho stared at her face, and his heart skipped a bit when he saw her slightly shaking her head at him with tears in her eyes, signaling him not to let the man take her away.

He shifted his gaze to the young man, and a low breath fled from his nose. "Why do you need her to follow you?" He inquired, and Alex smiled at him, then took a deep bow before straightening up. "I'm sorry to break both of your conversations, but she needs to come with me," Alex replied with a half-smile on his lips.

Mr. Adolpho stared intently at him and then returned his attention to Rita. He stood up from the chair and grabbed her by the wrist, then began to walk away, dragging her along with him.

Alex's eyes blinked in deep apprehension, and he hurriedly turned to glance at Leia, who was still seated at the counter. What was this? It wasn't part of their plan!

Leia shook her head at him, signaling him to maintain, and then they both turned their heads to gaze at Mr. Adolpo and Rita's disappearing back.

Alex stalled for a minute before he hastily turned around and moved back to Leia. "What is going on? This is not part of the plan." 

"I know. I didn't expect this either. " Leia's brow crinkled a bit, and as though having thought of something, a wide grin emerged on her face. "Rita, can you hear me? If you can, I just want you to know that you need not be confused. Just go on with the act. I believe this is much more of a perfect situation for us." 

Alex stared at her as she informed Rita through the ultrasonic speaker. His brow furrowed and he gazed at her with a questioning expression on his face. What exactly is his Luna strategy?

Leia smirked and raised her eyes to stare at him. "Rita, do you have any idea which room you guys are in?" She asked, and Rita's questioning voice resounded. Shortly after she heard Rita's shaky voice, another voice resounded, letting her know that they were in room "169."

Leia's smirk widened, and she turned to Alex. "Come with me." She grabbed him by the wrist and they hurried towards the receptionist, then booked room "170", which was the next room after the one they were in.

Leia smiled at the receptionist and dragged Alex along with her as they turned towards the wide, long passage that led them to the elevator that took them upstairs to the second floor.

The door was pushed open once it arrived on the second floor, and they stepped out. Their eyes glanced at each door as they strolled down the bright corridor, and they halted in front of the door, which was the door of the room that they had booked.

Leia swiped the card on the lock and the door creaked. She pushed it open and stepped inside, with Alex following behind. A deep breath left her nose and she proceeded to talk to Rita. "We are in the room next to the one you're in." 

"Remember, just go with the plan and try not to show any flaws that will make him doubt you in any way. If he tries to do anything inappropriate to you, do what you have to, alright." With that being said, she took a low breath and moved towards the sofa to take her seat.

...

Rita exhaled deeply after hearing what Leia said and swallowed. She raised her gaze to stare at Mr. Adolpho, who was walking to take a seat opposite her on the sofa.

Her teary eyes gazed intently at him, and Mr. Adolpho took a low breath. He moved closer to her and clasped her hands in his. "Pretty, sorry for dragging you away from there. I just thought it would be safer for you." 

Pretending as though realization hit her, Rita slowly nodded at him and smiled at her. "So do you mind telling me who that man was?" He inquired with his gray eyes fixed on her.

[Don't falter, Rita]

Rita's eyes fluttered, and she lowered her head and sniffed with abrupt tears that began to fall from her eyes.

Mr. Adolpho's face changed into a downcast one, and he caressed her cheek to comfort her. "C'mon Angel, you can't bottle it up in your heart. You gotta let it out." He smiled reassuringly at her, and Rita nodded at him, then took a deep breath.

"H-he, he's, um, my father's right-hand man." More tears dropped from her eyes as though she was recalling something she didn't want to remember.

"And..." Mr. Adolpho raised his brow at her, waiting for her to continue.

"It's... something that I can't help but cry when I talk about, and.. that's why it's hard for me to let it out at this moment." She dabbed off the tears at the edge of her eyes with her pinky, then sniffed.

Mr. Adolpho gave her a sympathetic nod and gently stroked her shoulder. "I understand pretty well, but what happened today? You can tell me the rest later, once you feel comfortable enough to do so." He smiled at her, and Rita nodded her head as a low sigh left her mouth.

"Well, I disagreed... to do something that my father really wanted me to do, and he tried to lock me in the house, but I managed to escape and found myself here in the casino. However, I didn't know that his right-hand man would find me."

"I really can't go back to that house, or else it will be another week in hell for me." She coughed, covering her face with her hands, and began to whimper uncontrollably. 

Mrs. Adolpho's brow wrinkled, and he grabbed her hand to take it away from her face. "I'm sorry, angel. I have to say, your father is a very bad man for being that way to you." He nodded at her and caressed her cheek. "Do you have anywhere to stay for the night?" He inquired, and she slowly raised her teary face to gaze at him. She shook her head, and he slightly nodded.

"Well, I am not sure of what to do, but the only thing I can offer at this moment is for you to spend the night at my estate."

Rita's brow raised instantly at his words, and he hurriedly waved his hands at her innocently. "Don't get me wrong, I am just offering my help. I will never do such a thing. I am not like that pretty."

[Accept the offer. He won't try any shit with you]

Rita smiled pessimistically at him and reached out her hand to touch his. "I understand, sir, and I am really grateful that you're generous enough to help me. Honestly, I expected my life to be doomed tonight, which is why I was crying uncontrollably. However, you appeared out of nowhere and things are looking up."

"Pretty, it's okay. It's my pleasure to help out." He smiled at her and stood up from the sofa. "If you're ready to go, we can leave now. I mean, I don't have any more business here." He pulled her up from the sofa, and she nodded at him.

He snatched the jacket of his suit from the armrest of the sofa and grabbed her by the wrist, and together they began to make their way downstairs.

[Don't worry. I already have men stationed at his estate. You just have to follow the plan]

Rita took a low breath and followed behind Mr. Adolpho. 

They stepped out into the game room and made their way out of the casino. With one snap of his fingers, his men who were posted outside of the casino all came out and bowed deeply to him.

"Get the car ready." He ordered, and they hurriedly moved to pull the door of the car open.

Rita's eyes blinked in hesitation, and Leia's voice resounded in her ears. 

[Don't fret, none of his men saw us. Just go with him and stick to the plan. As long as nothing goes wrong and we are not found out, everything will flow smoothly as per our plan."

Rita slightly nodded her head, and a half-smile formed on her lips.

Mr. Adolpho turned to her and gestured her into the white Rolls Royce. 

She nodded at him and stepped in, then hurriedly took the ultrasonic speakers off before he stepped in to sit beside her.. She smiled gratefully at him, while she secretly hid the speakers in her purse.
