Lost in Obsession by Brianna Novel Full Chapters

Chapter 5

Lucie’s father was imprisoned, and her mother ran away, with no news found.

Lucie’s younger sister, Phoebe, was severely injured in a car accident.

Then, her grandmother had a heart attack and died.

Phoebe was still in a coma. She might pass away at any time.

Lucie didn’t expect that Scott would know her situation so well.

But she wasn’t sure if Scott knew why her father was imprisoned.

Scott asked Lucie if she wanted to be his secretary and stay by his side, or go to the Business Department she originally applied.

Lucie hesitated for a second and chose the Business Department.

Lucie was afraid that if she stayed around Scott all the time, he might lose interest in her in a few days.

And then she wouldn’t get what she wanted.

So, Lucie went to the Business Department to deal with overseas business and became the lowest-level business assistant.

Her immediate superior was a manager in the Business Department, a man in his thirties.

Seeing that Scott’s secretary personally took Lucie to the Business Department, her superior could imagine something and was enthusiastic towards Lucie.

Lucie was very clear that everyone’s enthusiasm and friendliness towards her was because of her connection to Scott. So, she was very careful in every aspect, striving to never let anyone down.

On the same day, Lucie completed all the procedures for her job and would officially start working the next day.

At almost 5 p.m., she walked out of the office building of Sleight Technology, feeling as if she was still dreaming.

She looked up at the magnificent building, which had 68 floors, and couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Lucie knew that it was because of Scott that she was able to easily step into this dream place for countless graduates.

Therefore, Lucie was even more aware that she must not slack off for a single minute in her future work.

She must work harder than anyone else.

Lucie stood in front of the building for a while. When she turned around and walked towards the subway entrance, ready to go to Regal Club to work, her phone vibrated in her bag.

Lucie ignored it and entered the subway station.

Lucie’s work at Regal Club was scheduled from 7 p.m. to 12 a.m.

In the past two years, Regal Club had thrived in the business and could be considered as the biggest money-making hub in Jedon City. So, among Lucie’s current multiple jobs, it was the highest paying one and had the strictest requirements. Lucie never dared to be late or leave early.

Just as Lucie arrived at the subway platform, the subway train arrived, and it happened to be the one she was going to take, with Regal Club as the final destination.

Lucie got on the subway and found a seat at the very end. Leaning against the handrail, she closed her eyes to rest.

Lucie slept until the terminal station. When Lucie arrived at Regal Club, it was time for the employee dinner. Duty manager, Ada Bibby, invited Lucie to eat together, and Lucie didn’t refuse.

After finishing the meal, it was just about time for Lucie to get changed and start working. She locked all her belongings, including her phone, in her designated locker. Therefore, she was completely unaware when her phone started ringing loudly at 10 p.m.

Lucie carried high-end liquor and shuttled between different private rooms.

“Lucie, add two bottles of Louis XIII to room 3808 and deliver them as soon as possible.” Just as Lucie came out of a room, Ada instructed her through the intercom.

Ada knew Lucie’s situation and always took care of her.

Lucie agreed and immediately went to deliver the drinks to room 3808.

The private room was dimly lit, with several men and women having a great time.

Lucie lowered her head and tried to minimize her presence. She knelt beside the tea table, placed the two bottles of Louis XIII down, neither too loud nor too soft, and then said, “Enjoy your Louis XIII, everyone.”

After speaking, Lucie was about to leave.

“It’s you, Lucie. Damn it!”

Suddenly, a burst of furious shouting came from behind, making Lucie tremble and instinctively pause her footsteps.

It was Clayton!

Realizing what was happening, Lucie wanted to run away.

But it was too late.

As soon as she lifted her leg, Clayton, with a flushed face from drinking, suddenly pounced on Lucie. In front of everyone’s astonished eyes, he grabbed her ponytail and violently swung her to one side.

“Ah…”

Caught off guard, Lucie stumbled, and then her head directly hit the wall.

Suddenly, she felt dizzy, and her head throbbed, making it difficult to breathe. She could only stabilize herself by leaning on the wall with her hands.

“You slutty bitch, I’ve been devoted to you for a year, and you wouldn’t let me touch you. Now you’re working in a place like this.”

Clayton had drunk quite a bit of alcohol and at the moment, he seemed like a lunatic. He charged towards Lucie again and grabbed her ponytail, cursing her with anger, “Tell me. Have you slept with rich men? Your pussy must have turned rotten, yet you still pretend to be innocent in front of me.”

With her hair being forcefully pulled, Lucie felt as if her scalp was being lifted up, and the pain made it difficult for her to breathe.

She struggled to grab her ponytail back from Clayton’s grasp while shouting loudly, “Clayton, we have already broken up.”

“Break up?” Clayton clenched his teeth and gritted, “You want to break up just like that. Who do you think you are?”

As he spoke, he raised his hand to slap Lucie’s face again.

In an instant, a loud “smack” resonated throughout the private room. Lucie couldn’t dodge in time and was slapped, causing her to be stunned. On the side of her face that was slapped, it felt as if millions of bees had swarmed into her ear, buzzing and occupying her entire brain.

Lucie could barely think, and the only thought in her mind was that the man who was pulling her hair crazily was not Clayton.

Clayton used to be gentle and considerate in front of her.

But now Clayton slapped Lucie without reason. Unrelenting, he raised his hand again to continue hitting Lucie.

However, before his hand could land, someone stopped him.
