Chapter 729 When Christine approached the front desk to check-in, the receptionist informed her that Gregory had booked the entire floor.

Without missing a beat, they handed her the keycard to another room.

A twitch of irritation crossed her face as she internally cursed Gregory, labeling him a cunning old fox.

It was clear he was orchestrating s between her and Dailey, and yet, he hadn't breathed a word about it.

If it weren't for the fact that she and Jane had plans to iron out a minor disagreement tonight, she'd definitely text Jane to vent about this. Ding- Lost in her thoughts, Christine didn't notice the elevator arrive.

She stepped out, making sure to ask the front desk for a room on the opposite end from Merritt's.

Across the hallway.

Just as she was about to swipe her card, a familiar male voice startled her.

"Running off to get your own room now?" His presence was like a ghost that wouldn't leave her alone.

Christine regretted getting involved in this charade.

The only silver lining was slapping him twice.

Taking a deep breath, she turned around, "Mr. Clarkson, what are you doing haunting the halls at this hour?" At the moment, Dailey was only concerned about why she was checking into a room by herself.

He seemed immune to her sarcastic tone.

""Had a fight?" All Christine wanted was to dive into a soft, big bed and avoid any entanglement with him.

"So, Mr. Clarkson, you're so interested in my whereabouts now? What, have you fallen for me?" Dailey took a step forward.

Christine stepped back until her back hit the door.

Dailey placed a hand against the door, closing the gap between them. A slight movement would bring their lips together.

But Christine couldn't just walk away.

Her room was right behind her, and it was Dailey who should leave.

Why should she? "Looks like Mr. Clarkson didn't get enough of being slapped?" She tried to push him away, but he caught her hands.

Dailey pressed her hands against his chest, looking into her eyes with genuine affection.

"What if I told you I've fallen for you?" Christine paused, then scoffed.

"I'd give you two more slaps." "Deal." Dailey released her hands, stepping back to give her room.

"Two slaps, then we sit down and talk properly." Christine couldn't quite pinpoint when her feelings for this man had shifted.

He was always so detached, indifferent to her and quick to push away with his cold remusAt that time, she just wanted to pluck this seemingly unattainable flower.

But then...

Thinking it over, her own life was more precious.

She did have feelings for him, but having been on the brink of death once, saved by Jane's dedication, she knew she had to cherish her life.

Suppressing her emotions, she hadn't expected this unattainable flower to willingly fall into her hands. "Mr. Clarkson, what else is there to talk about?" His previous hurtful words were still fresh in her mind- "Christine, the more you chase, the more you repulse me."

"Letmake it clear today, even if ben you stripped naked, wouldn't be interested in you." "I won't ever have feelings for you." Christine had never been so vulnerable before.

She rarely allowed herself to develop it feelings, knowing it would only give someone the chance to hurt her. She had endured enough pain growing up.

"Dailey, I don't want us to make things awkward for Jane and Gregory, So, this is the last tI'm saying this, stop botheringOtherwise, we can't even be friends." Dailey, being the smart man he was, keenly sensed the shift in Christine's emotions.
