Chapter 14: Miss Montgomery is in Trouble
At this moment, in room 8802, Rocky arrived with the key card only to be stunned by the scene on the bed.
Julian was tied spread-eagle on the bed, which was damp. He was only covered with a towel around his waist, surrounded by scattered money.
"Sir, I thought you were just drunk? Last night..." He didn't finish his sentence.
It was Rocky’s first time realizing how wild Julian could get; no wonder ordinary women didn't interest him.
Who would dare to tie him up if not seeking trouble?
The cold shower he had taken and an hour in the air-conditioned room had chilled him to the bone.
"What are you standing there for, get me out!" The man's limbs had already gone numb.
"Yes, sir. And the woman who called me?" Rocky glanced around.
Aurora had called while Julian was listening. Hearing his assistant mention that woman again, Julian’s face darkened. "What, you want to meet her?"
Frightened by the man's grim tone, Rocky quickly dropped the subject.
"No, sir!" He didn't dare ask further and hurriedly began to untie the ropes.
But the knots were elaborate, almost with a hint of bondage fetish.
"Sir, who tied you up? This isn't a simple way to tie someone." Rocky found that the knots couldn’t just be untied by hand and awkwardly looked at his boss.
"Think I wouldn’t have escaped if it were simple? Get a knife!" Julian bellowed.
Rocky quickly cut through the ropes with a knife, and as Julian began to move, his body’s warmth had faded.
But his anger was blazing, "What a bold woman! How dare she to hold me hostage!"
"Sir, should we call the police?" Rocky asked seriously.
"No need, just find out where she is."
"Who is she?"
"The daughter of the Montgomery family, Aurora." Julian said as he headed to the bathroom.
Inside, he saw his reflection in the mirror, covered in lipstick marks left by her. She had really enjoyed herself last night!
He remembered how she teased him, so different from the naive young girl she once was.
A seasoned player in love would only act like that; so, had she been with many men in these three years?
The thought sent a cold fury through Julian.
Good, she had escaped from his world three years ago, and now, he wouldn't let her go again!
Julian quickly showered, washing off all traces of her.
After changing into a suit and leather collar brought by Rocky, he looked completely different from the sinister man before.
"Get two things done for me. First, find this woman, and second, bring everyone from last night's dinner to me."
His face was serious, devoid of any jest.
Rocky hadn't been there yesterday, so he was unaware of the events, but seeing his boss's icy demeanor, he knew someone was in trouble.
"Yes, sir, I'll get right on it."
"And if I find Miss Montgomery, should I bring her here?" That woman had dared to boldly confront his boss; she was surely doomed.
"No, just tell me where she is. I'll go to her."
Julian had already strode out, with Rocky cautiously following behind.
Now, he was like a ticking bomb, ready to explode at any moment. He just hoped it wouldn’t blow up in his face.
Miss Montgomery was indeed in deep trouble!
