Chapter 1399
Audrey held back her surging emotions and allowed him to do whatever he wanted with her. She did not know how long had passed when Nordan finally stopped.
Before Audrey could recover from the tryst, Nordan had already pushed her away. He was pushing her away so hard that her body smashed heavily into the back of the couch, leaving her back in great pain. When he wanted to leave, Audrey instinctively leaned towards him. However, he stood up decisively and tidied up his clothes. Before leaving, he uttered menacingly, "8 p.m. tomorrow night... Make sure you are at Citrus Hall!"
Bang!
The door was slammed shut. It was so loud that there was even an echo across the room.
Although he had left, there was still the scent of lovemaking in the air. However, that man left without a qualm while Audrey curled up on the couch with her body trembling.
Looking at how frank he was, Audrey felt that her heart had become empty. It was as if she could no longer find a place that could make her feel at ease, and also the heart which was longing to love but no longer dared to love.
Before he left, he asked her to go to Citrus Hall at 8 o' clock tomorrow night.
Citrus Hall sounded like an artistic name, but those who knew it knew that it was in fact the Panther Gang's territory. Hence, most people would not dare get close to that area. Audrey vaguely knew why Nordan wanted her to go there, but she still pretended not to know.
However, she also understood that some things had indeed happened and she could not do anything to change it. Just like how it was between Silvia and Felix, what they had between them was already in the past.
At 8 o'clock the next evening, although she was unwilling, Audrey still showed up at Citrus Hall. She had even dressed up beautifully. Although she would always dress up when she was out, it was somewhat different that night. She wished that she could appear in front of Nordan beautifully no matter when and where. She told herself that she must not let him look down on her again.
In the Panther Gang's territory, there were people guarding at the entrance of Citrus Hall. When she was about to clarify her identity, the guard motioned her to go in.
Needless to say, the guard had received instructions from the higher ups.
"Miss Delmond, please come with me." A member of the Panther Gang came over to her to lead the way. Audrey remembered this person. It was Haward Hudson, Nordan's right hand man. Audrey followed Haward into the elevator and went to the highest floor of Citrus Hall. Before she could reach her destination, she could hear a burst of noise. "D*mn it, Harry Newton actually dared to steal our businesses. He probably has a death wish."
After the loud roar, someone else said, "That guy even dared to go head on against us. As long as Young Master Nordan says a word, I will bring him here and give him a hard time." The people who were present were amused by what this person had said. Following Nordan's light cough, everyone stopped laughing and looked at Nordan. "Young Master Nordan."
Nordan took a deep drag on his cigarette and pressed the cigarette butt against the thigh of a man sitting beside him. "Since when did the Panther Gang raise a bunch of useless people like you guys?" The cigarette butt was burning the man's thigh, and his body was twitching because of the pain, but he did not dare to show it. He put on a smile and said, "Young Master Nordan, we are not just joking around. We are all waiting for your orders. As long as you give us a word, we will bring that guy here right away."
Nordan raised his eyebrows and glimpsed at the crowd. "If you need my orders to do anything, what do I need you guys for? Just to provide to you all for nothing? Do you really think that I'm doing this for charity?"
Everyone fell silent and none of them dared to reply. However, a beautiful woman, who was sitting on Nordan's left, leaned towards him coquettishly. "Drink this, Young Master Nordan. Don't get angry because of this bunch of people."
A strong perfume scent rushed into Nordan's nostrils. He instinctively wanted to push this disgusting woman away, but he saw that Audrey was already at the door through the corner of his eye.
At this moment, Nordan immediately changed his gesture and pulled the woman into his arms. "Thank god you're here, Jessica. If you can make me happy tonight, I'll give you whatever you want, Baby..." Jessica was completely focused on how to please Nordan so she didn't notice the subtle change in Nordan's behavior, and even thought that Nordan had taken a fancy to her.
Before coming here, someone had told her that Nordan was a temperamental man and it would not be easy to approach him. However, it seemed that he was no different from ordinary men. There was no way for him to escape from her clutches.
Jessica thought that those women could not get close to him was simply because they were not beautiful enough. As long as they were as beautiful and gentle as her, how could Nordan resist them? With Jessica in his arms, Nordan's gaze was still focused on Audrey, who was standing at the door. He hoped that Audrey would rush over and beat him up, scold him and even drive the woman in his arms away.
However, Audrey did nothing. She did not show any displeasure. She was just lowering her head so that he could not see her. Because of that, Nordan could not figure out what was on her mind nor did he know if Audrey actually cared about him, even a little.
Audrey lowered her head and bit her lip hard. She tried to forget how overbearing he was to her the previous night. She was trying hard to forget his low moaning voice which repeatedly sounded in hers the night before.
However, the harder she tried to forget, terrifying images began to appear in her head. She was imagining that this man had done the same thing he did with her with other women. Fear, horror, and disgust churned in Audrey's stomach, making her feel so nauseated that she almost threw up. However, at this time, she heard Nordan's voice again, "Baby..." Not far away, Nordan was calling another woman with the same name he used to call her, but his tone was much gentler.
"Baby, who's that woman at the door? Is she your friend?" Nordan's voice once again sounded in Audrey's ears. "Why don't you ask her to come in and hang out with us?"
Jessica wanted to say no, but when she realized that Nordan did not give her the chance to refuse, she could only nod. "As long as Young Master Nordan likes it, I can bring all of my friends over to accompany you."
"What a good girl!" Nordan looked at Audrey. At this time, Audrey raised her head and glared at him angrily. "Nordan, you called me here to make a fool of me, didn't you? Well, you can do whatever you want with anyone else but I'm not interested in that at all."
Nordan let go of the woman in his arms and said with a smile, "You're quite hot-tempered, huh?"
Jessica didn't know what was the meaning behind Nordan's smile. She threw herself into his arms, trying to drive away Audrey, who stole Nordan's attention. "Young Master Nordan, just drive this ungrateful woman away. Don't let her ruin your mood."
