Trapped by Him

Chapter 44

Ch. 42 / 398 Feb 22, 2026

As Gloria looked at the check in her hand, her face gradually turned pale.

She had received a lot of humiliation from previous customers, yet she had a clear conscience.

She understood that Mike had given her 100 thousand dollars because Mike felt she was similar to the woman he loved.

But today, she didn't do anything.

Lucas stood in front of Gloria, half a head taller than her. He lowered his eyes and curled his lips as he admired the woman's expression. It was as if he could see her struggling inside from the subtle changes in her expression.

And he enjoyed watching it very much.

Gloria's face grew paler, and there was a hesitant look in her. On the one hand, she felt that she shouldn't take the money. On the other hand, she urgently needed money.

Suddenly, she slowly raised her head. From her angle, she could only see Lucas' pretty chin and his curved lips. She asked, "Sir, do you need me to do anything for you?"

A trace of surprise flashed through Lucas' brown eyes. He looked at this woman again. She was always able to amaze him, and she once again renewed his understanding of her.

She was a helpless and humble woman. Yet she was so proud that he had to take her seriously.

Undoubtedly, she needed money. From the conversation she had with another woman in the hospital, the woman in front of him urgently needed money, and it was a large sum of money.

Otherwise, why would she endure all the humiliation and do things that most women were unwilling to do?

So, he gave her money not to sympathize with her, but to watch her struggle.

He got what he wanted, but not exactly what he wanted. She needed money, yet she would not take it for no reason. This was her attitude.

Hunting!

Tame her!

These two words came to Lucas' mind. He looked at Gloria and said, "Kiss me."

Lucas spoke in a low voice as if it was a matter of course.

There was a hint of ridicule in his eyes.

After all, this was how Lucas was.

He needed something to spice up his dull life.

Gloria was the spice.

Lucas wanted to watch this woman struggle again.

But this time, he would be disappointed.

Gloria was only stunned for a few seconds. Then she looked up and asked him with a serious face, "Are you serious about it, sir?"

"Yes," he smiled and looked relaxed, yet the next moment, the calmness on his face disappeared.

His eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at the ugly face that was so close to him.

She kissed Lucas with her dry, warm lips. He couldn't ignore this feeling because he had never kissed lips rougher than this before.

He subconsciously said, "You..."

This wasn't a real kiss, but a response to a customer's request. She did it and felt that she could accept the check now.

Gloria calmly took three steps back.

"You... Why?" Lucas was puzzled.

He didn't get to see the mental struggle he was looking forward to. She didn't hesitate to kiss him at all.

Gloria looked up and said with a smile, "Because I am just a call girl. I'll kiss anyone who gives me money without hesitation."

A kiss was nothing to her.

That man had asked her to kiss his subordinate in front of everyone.

Gloria's smile was even more insincere.

Lucas had never thought that this woman would say such words to belittle herself. For a moment, he stared at the woman in front of him with mixed feelings.

He raised his hand to look at his watch and said, "I have to go. Miss Carter, we'll talk more next time."

Lucas walked in the corridor on the fifth floor, his eyes flashing with excitement. He felt that Gloria was very interesting.

"Are you just a call girl? I must remove your camouflage."

He was looking forward to the moment when Gloria appeared in front of him without disguise. At that time, would she still be able to open her rough lips and say such words so easily?

Lucas' eyes were cold. He expressionlessly took out a handkerchief and wiped his lips three times.

He walked to the elevator and stepped in. He raised his hand and threw the handkerchief into the trash can at the elevator doors.

Gloria stood in the private room and stared at her feet with a dull look in her eyes.

Was that strange man really asking for a kiss?

She raised her hand to cover her chest. She knew it was not his true purpose.

How she wished she could loudly retort and roar out the dissatisfaction in her heart. "I am just a call girl, yet a call girl also has dignity! You want to see me struggle and suffer, but I would also feel pain."

She wanted to shout.

She almost let out the dissatisfaction in her heart. However, when she opened her mouth, she suddenly remembered she had lost her dignity a long time ago.

She held the check tightly and stared at the number on it.

Gloria slowly walked out of the VIP room. She came to the door of Christine's office and knocked on it.

Christine looked up and said, "Why are you here? Are you feeling better? You can rest at home for a few more days."

"Christine, I'm fine." Gloria gently placed the check in her hand on Christine's desk and said, "I'll have to trouble you again. Please help me deposit it in the bank."

Christine glanced at the check. "20 thousand dollars? Where did this money come from?"

As soon as she finished asking, Christine shut her mouth. She pursed her lips and looked at Gloria for a while before asking, "Did you just take on a job?"

Gloria did not deny it.

"Why did he give you so much money?"

Christine stood up. 20 thousand dollars wasn't a big deal in Fittro Club, but it wasn't a small amount either.

Christine grabbed Gloria's shoulders. "What did you do?"
