Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 791

Bella's blood boiled at the sound of his voice. She had gone to the hotel bar several nights in a row, hoping to run into Lucas again, but he had been completely clueless. He had clearly seen her, yet he never approached her. She was already annoyed with him, and hearing him answer the phone just ignited her fury.

"Early? It's the middle of the workday. Who told you to answer her phone? Give it to Ms. Harris. I need to speak with her."

She was polite to Debbie, but she had absolutely no patience for a gigolo.

"Miss Ward, she told me to answer it," Lucas said quickly, unaware of the crisis Bella was facing. "She was out partying with friends all night and just got to sleep. Then your calls kept coming. She's annoyed. If it's important, call back later. She had a lot to drink, so even if she took the phone, she wouldn't make much sense."

Bella swallowed her anger. Given Debbie's status, she couldn't just storm over there and demand the money back. Ruining their relationship wouldn't do her any good. She hung up without another word, not wanting to waste her breath on Lucas.

The clueless idiot. A guy like him should be on his knees thanking his lucky stars that she even looked his way, yet he didn't even know how to seize the opportunity. A rentboy was a rentboy—cheap and lowly. He was nothing compared to Sebastian.
