Chapter 14: You Can’t Kill Him!
Eve grumbled under her breath.
"You spend like you have enough to last you a lifetime."
[I spend more than that monthly on abandoned pups in the orphanage. Why are you complaining?]
Eve pulled a face. "I am not complaining, I’m just—you know what, never mind. I’ll gladly spend your money."
[Good. As you should. Wouldn’t it be ridiculous if you—]
"Shhhh." She got up from the VIP seat. "There he is. I think he’s heading to the restroom."
Her gaze shifted to Patro who was moving out of the hall. The auction wasn’t over yet and this was something they needed to handle before the crowd began to leave.
Eve hurried on her feet toward the direction Patro took. Her gaze would cross here and there, ensuring no one was following or somehow found her suspicious because this was the way to the men’s restroom.
Patro was just about to go in when Eve snatched him by the arm, spinning him around.
"We need to talk!" And she began dragging him towards the operating room.
Patro couldn’t react. He was just blinking in shock as if he never expected her to behave this rashly with him.
Eve kicked open the door of the operating room, and closed it, locking it. Whoever was supposed to be in the operating room was nowhere to be found. Caius had done his job and everything was in place.
