SWNOVELS Chapter 38
Chapter 38
"Master Cedrick, your car... Some lunatic crushed the window of your car."
More often than not, the first reaction when people saw a luxury car would be to stay away as they could not afford to damage it in any way, but it appeared that they had encountered an odd individual who simply resented rich people.
Cedrick's lips curled into a mysterious sneer. He quickly glanced below the table before tossing the cards in his hands away and spoke, "You two will head down to see what's going on." "I can handle this on my own," Eason said.
Charles was far more sensitive in comparison to Eason and had realized someone else was inside the room long ago. Seeing how Cedrick appeared to be in a good mood, he figured that perhaps it was someone Cedrick knew.
He tugged at Eason's clothes with a playful expression and said, "I'll just tag along, anyway."
"Hey, it's just one lunatic... Why are you dragging me? I-"
"Have a great evening, Mister Cedrick," bade Charles with a sly smile before dragging Eason with him.

Beneath the table, Catelyn could already feel all the blood in her body rushing toward her head as she could not even process what Charles meant. Apart from feeling glad, the only thought left in her mind was how she could get Cedrick to leave.
Just as she was contemplating, the feet before her stood up abruptly and walked in another direction. Soon after, she heard the sound of the shower running.
'Did he go for a shower?' she thought. Excited, she crawled out of the table swiftly, but her limbs had been stiff from remaining in the same position, so she tried to massage her legs.
All of a sudden, she felt someone staring at her.
She could not help but feel overwhelmed by a bad feeling as she turned to look in that direction.
"Finally feel like coming out?" An intimidating aura loomed over her, and she looked up to meet Cedrick's eagle-like eyes.

He was leaning against the door frame of the washroom, his lips curled into a devilish smirk as he stared at her mockingly.
Catelyn froze instantly as though she had been struck by lightning, to the point that she could barely breathe. "You..."
Was he not supposed to be in the shower?!
Embarrassed that she had been caught, she blushed. "You already knew that I've been hiding here?"
"It's not that big of a room, and there isn't exactly that much space a person can use to hide." He stared at her teasingly. "Go on, explain to me what you're trying to do to me by sneaking into my room during this time?"
It was late and he simply did not believe that she was simply passing by. The meaning behind his words was clear, and Catelyn cursed under her breath, knowing that Cedrick must have thought that she was here to seduce him.
"It's not what you think! I just got into the wrong room..."
"Don't you think it's a horrible excuse?"
Everyone knew that the VIP room 6808 in Riverdale was reserved by him throughout the year and the door was usually locked, yet she broke the lock and hid under the table,
He gave her a casual look before walking toward the wine cabinet to take a bottle of wine.
