Domineering Lover novel Chapter 701

Tracey slept soundly, but Renee was not as lucky as she was. Her words last night had antagonized Vaughn.

People on this ship ignored her for that except a kind old man offered her a room.

It was still a shabby storage unit with one frayed sofa and no conditioner.

"Miss, it's cold at night. Would you like a blanket?"

"Can you find me a phone? I want to call my family." Renee needed to let her families know she was safe but she had lost her phone together with all her belongings.

She had nearly died, and she was now eager to hear Rocco's voice.

"Miss, I'm afraid I can't help you with that. There's no signal on the sea. Only two landlines work here. One in the bridge, and my boss gets the other."

"My families are definitely worried sick. Could you please do me a favor and talk to your boss so he can let me make a call?"

"Sorry, miss, I can't help you. It's late and you should go to bed." Before the old man left, he warned, "Be careful of the people on this ship."

The man's name was Luke and he was only in his thirties, but his weather-beaten face and scruffy clothes made him look older than he really was.

Renee looked at his back and murmured, "I will."

Renee remembered the unkempt clothes and filthy words of those people, and how they laughed when she was drowning.

"Sir, can I use your bathroom? I'm cold in wet clothes." Renee shouted from behind.

"Water supply is limited here. Only our boss gets a private bathroom. I'm afraid you'll find it uneasy to use a public one."

The only woman on the ship is mannish and doesn't care about showering with us. But you..."

Renee frowned. This ship was apparently not as lavish as the previous three-deck cruise ship.

"Then could you give me a basin so I can wash myself with hot water? I freezing."

"Okay."

Renee followed Luke to his room, which was slightly better than the storage unit. "Here is the basin and hot water. I'll go to get you some clothes from Amiyah."

"Thank you, sir."

"Call me Luke."

"Thank you, Luke, for helping me earlier." Renee knew that if it weren't for him, their boss would have let her drown.

"You're welcome. It must have been hard for you to travel alone. I'll go now. Men here mean you no good so don't leave the room."

Renee was young and beautiful, so it was not hard to guess what those men want from her.
