Trapped by Him

Chapter 21

Ch. 19 / 398 Feb 22, 2026

The thought of death struck Gloria. Then, the girl named Mica appeared in her mind again.

She regained consciousness in an instant.

She could not die like this, because she still needed to fulfill Mica's wish.

Gloria opened her eyes slowly, and the room was bright as usual.

Gloria was like a rag-doll without a temper. She was reviled viciously and never said anything back.

However, she underestimated those girls.

Ruby stepped forward and pushed Gloria. She said disdainfully, "Why are you pretending to be pitiful? Since you are working here as a call girl, don't put on an innocent look. When you were begging for mercy from those guests yesterday, you were not so lofty!"

After saying this, Ruby was still not satisfied. She stretched out her foot and kicked Gloria.

Gloria's legs were injured before, so she fell to the ground.

"Ruby, go easy on her. How can you kick her like that?" Someone said to her. No matter how much they enjoyed taunting her, it was only verbal, and they didn't beat her.

Ruby said confidently, "I didn't use much strength. She is simply too weak!"

She snorted coldly and kicked Gloria once again as if she was nothing but trash. "Enough pretending. Get up! Are you trying to look like a delicate Princess or Cinderella? It's a pity that you're so ugly. You look more like a vicious witch!"

After Ruby finished her words, she turned around and revealed a nasty smile to the other call girls behind her. "Did I just kick a person to the ground? Or, did I kick a dog? I really can't tell. "

Everyone burst into laughter. "Ruby is right. She wouldn't kick a person like that. She was kicking a dog."

"Gloria, you should bark."

"Why don't you crawl on the ground as you did in the private room yesterday?"

Gloria struggled to get up from the ground while taunting and mockery hit her one after another.

"What are you doing?"

The door suddenly opened, and Christine came in.

Christine did not expect that she would see such a scene the moment she opened the door. Gloria was obviously being bullied.

Christine was so angry that her face turned sullen. She glared at everyone. "What are you doing here? Go back to work!"

Those presumptuous girls now shrank their necks and rushed out.

Ruby seemed to regain her confidence after bullying Gloria. She was giddy and standing up to her boss.

She said, "Christine, we were only joking around while having a break. Why are you making such a fuss?"

"Is this how you entertain yourself during breaks? Bullying others?" Christine's voice became cold.

One of the call girls who was close to Ruby gently pulled on her arm, because she could hear the rage in Christine's tone.

However, Ruby didn't think so. She looked at Gloria indifferently and said, "Are you talking about her? I don't think she can be compared to me. She is just a dog..."

With a bang, Ruby was interrupted.

Christine slapped Ruby hard.

"Christine! Why are you doing this to me?" Ruby covered her face, and tears welled up in her eyes.

She looked at Christine with fear and anger.

"At Fittro Club, no call girls will disobey me," Christine said as she raised her hand again.

Ruby and the others were horrified and noticed that Christine's hand began to shift. It was getting bigger, its fingers grew longer, and its back was covered with thick hair.

And it had sharp, blade-like nails.

"Ruby, next time, your face will not just hurt." After that, Christine's hand shifted back into a human hand.

When Ruby thought that those sharp nails would leave ugly scars on her face, she trembled in fear.

Christine was ruthless. Although they had never seen it, they had heard of it before. No one would want to cross her.

Ruby ran out of the lounge hurriedly.

"Are you a fool? Why don't you defend yourself while being bullied?" Christine ran in front of Gloria quickly and helped Gloria up. She was still mad.

She couldn't bear to see Gloria being bullied.

She saw the wounds on Gloria's body and how the guests had made fun of her, yet Gloria had never cried out in pain or shed a single tear.

Christine couldn't help but be kind to Gloria.

Gloria and her shared similar experiences.

"Christine, do you have any work for me now?"

Christine was stunned. She looked at Gloria and sighed helplessly. "Take a day off. I don't think you are in good shape to work."

"I am fine."

Christine insisted. "There is no work for you today. How can you work all the time?"

"Alright, I will sit here and wait," Gloria said. "Christine, if the guests need me, just let me know. I know I don't look good, but I am willing to do work no matter how dirty and tiring it is. If others refuse to please the guests, I will."

Gloria had never considered selling her body. In her opinion, she was safe with her unattractive appearance.

"Forget it. Do as you please." Christine shook her head and walked out of the lounge.

She didn't plan to give her any work today.

When Gloria came out of the bathroom on the third floor, someone snatched her into a private room.

"Mr. White, this is the Gloria I mentioned."

Gloria saw Yuna speaking to a middle-aged man on the sofa with a charming smile.

Gloria knew Yuna. She was the woman who kissed Derrick in the freight elevator the last time.

"Gloria, come here. Mr. White said he wanted to buy you a drink."

Gloria shook her head. "I'm allergic to alcohol."

Yuna's face immediately turned cold, and she shouted, "Gloria, are you looking down on Mr. White? How dare you reject his offer?"

Gloria stole a glance at the man beside Yuna, and he looked unhappy.

Gloria could only bite the bullet and said, "Mr. White, it's true. I'm allergic to alcohol. I almost died once. If I drink and fail to hold the liquor, I'll displease you anyway."

Though the man didn't look happy when he heard Gloria's words, he didn't ask her to drink anymore. But he didn't intend to let her off so easily.

"Then what can you do?"
