Missing Mrs. Lowry: The Billionaire’s Wakeup Call
Chapter 22

Chapter 22 

Megan grunted an affirmative, “I know! It was Sullivan who invited him.” 

Lucia was taken aback, “That mistress is Cressida? Megan, how come these two just can’t seem to disappear? If it hadn’t been for that accident back then, you would’ve been off studying abroad with Paxton by now instead of waiting on Sullivan hand and foot!” 

Lucia took a drag of her cigarette to calm her nerves. 

Finally, she spat out her disdain, “Sullivan thinks he’s the cat’s pajamas, but damn, the cost of one night’s sleep is just too steep!” 

She expected Megan to back down. But Megan simply said calmly, “Paxton called me. He said he hopes I can learn from him in the next four years here at home.” 

Lucia was thrilled, snuffing out her cigarette. “If you miss this chance, Megan, I’ll never forgive you.” 

Megan smiled slightly. “I know” 

Feeling somewhat relieved, Megan tidied up the dishes and, after taking a shower, returned to bed. 

Lucia was already asleep. 

Megan lay down beside her, unable to resist resting her head on Lucia’s shoulder. She missed Lucia so much, with her around, everything seemed manageable. 

The next moming, Lucia took Megan to the hotel owned by Timothy. 

The Regal Bolt Hotel in Borough City, the epitome of luxury. 

Practically six stars. 

Normally, Timothy wouldn’t bother with such matters, but to show his “appreciation for Lucia, he made a point of meeting Megan in person and arranged a job for her 

From 8 pm to 11 p.m. 

Three hours of work a night, with a salary of six thousand a month, was exceptionally generous. 

Megan knew that Timothy was doing this for Lucia’s sake. 

She looked towards Lucia.  Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Lucia threw her a flirtatious wink. 

Timothy gave her a look and called the hotel manager to show Megan around. Once they left, Timothy walked to the door, locked it, and turned his attention back to the office. 

The office included a lounge, but he bypassed it, taking Lucra right there on the desk. 

At first, Lucia resisted, biting down hard on his shoulder. Timothy leaned closer, his lips near her ear, and chuckled. “Two months without touching you, and you’ve become feral?” 

Having abstained for a while, he was fervent, to say the least, leaving Lucia breathless from the intensity. 

After it was over, he left her there and went to shower without a second thought 

The sound of running water echoed from the bathroom… 

Lucia slowly got up from the desk, not caring about her disheveled state, and lit a slender cigarette, smoking absentmindedly. She knew Timothy couldn’t understand why she cared so much for Megan. 

The truth was, Megan had been there for her. 

They had met in junior high when Lucia’s parents had been addicted to gambling and had sold everything of value, nearly resorting to Belling Lucia herself. 

After her parents had gambled away everything and took their own lives, Lucia was left an orphan with nowhere to live and no means to pay for school. Her classmates distanced themselves, treating her like a freak until one day, she couldn’t take it anymore and found herself on the roof. 

It was Megan who pulled her back from the edge. Megan secretly took her home, gave her clothes, a hot bath, and brought her a plate piled high with food… That was a taste Lucia would never forget. 

Megan had hidden her for three days. 

And then, Megan begged Wyatt to rent her an apartment. It was Megan who had taken care of her for six years. 

No one knew what Megan meant to her, if Megan needed her, Lucia would do anything, give up anything.

After finishing her cigarette. Lucia straightened her clothes and left with a no–nonsense air 

Timothy came out of the shower to find the office empty. He slowly approached the desk, noticing a small puddle on it, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly Lucia was quite clever, even Sullivan had to give him that much respect in his Regal Bolt Hotel He just wondered what Sullivan’s reaction would be Probably none. 

Timothy had heard through the grapevine that Sullivan’s marriage to Megan had been lukewarm from the start, with no children even after several years. People in their circle were even betting on when Sullivan would divores Megan 

And wasn’t there talk of someone being kept by him?
