My Six Brothers Killed Me (Caroline) novel Chapter 203

Chapter 203 Book a Room

Alright. After Caroline hung up, it wasn’t long before she received a message from an unknown number

She tapped the notification and saw a text: “Heard from my mom you were looking for me?”

Caroline didn’t waste words. “Let’s meet. I want to talk to you about something.”

Linden assumed she’d finally come around and wanted to be his girlfriend. He agreed instantly. “Sure. I’m at the Silvergate Hotel right now. Come over.”

Caroline put her phone away and turned to Maia. “The restaurant’s closed this afternoon. Clean up a bit, then head home and get some rest.”

Maia wanted to ask something, but seeing Caroline hurry out the door, she swallowed her questions and watched her leave.

Caroline called a cab to the Silvergate Hotel. As soon as she arrived, she called Linden. “I’m here. Where are you?”

Linden’s voice came through with a mischievous smirk. “Go book a room and wait for me.”

The moment Caroline heard that, she knew exactly what he was thinking. She let out a dry laugh. “I have something serious to discuss with you. Can you not be so inappropriate?”

Linden couldn’t imagine what serious matter she could possibly have with him. He figured she was just playing hard to get. “Don’t worry, you don’t have to pay for the room. I’ll send you the money right now- just get the best one.”

“Don’t! Absolutely not!” Caroline stood at the hotel entrance, glancing into the lobby. “I’m waiting for you in the lobby.”

She hung up before Linden could say another word, leaving him no room to negotiate.

Knowing Linden, he’d definitely come find her.

Caroline pocketed her phone and headed for the hotel lobby, but as she reached the entrance, a security guard stopped her.

“Miss, do you have an invitation?”

Caroline paused, surprised. “No… Do you need an invitation just to stay here?”

The guard replied politely, “I’m sorry, but today the CEO of Sherwood Group and the chairman of Grayson Group are meeting here for an important project. The hotel is closed to the public during this time. Only guests with invitations are allowed inside.”

Left with no choice, Caroline called/Linden again. “Are you messing with me? The hotel isn’t even open to the public today. I can’t get in.”

Linden had come in with Walter and hadn’t been stopped at all

He really had no idea about any invitation requirements and hurried to explain, “No, I didn’t know about that. Just wait at the entrance. I’ll come get you as soon as the meeting’s done.”

Walter was there for the project meeting too, though honestly, Linden didn’t have to be present.

But Walter had insisted that since the Sherwood Group’s CEO was attending in person it was a good opportunity for Linden to observe and learn.

Walter had sung the CEO’s praises so highly that Linden was curious to see what the man was like in pers

Caroline asked, “How long will it be?”

Linden replied, “I’m not sure Maybe half an hour or so.”

444

Hearing the uncertainty in his voice, Caroline guessed it would be much longer. “Take your time. Call me when you’re done, and we’ll grab coffee. I’m heading back for now.”

The moment she said that, Linden grew restless. “Wait, don’t go. I’ll come down right now, okay?”

He’d brought Caroline all the way to the hotel; there was no way he was going to let her leave so easily.

Women were easy to persuade–a few sweet words and she’d end up in his bed.

But if they went to a café, the whole mood would change. It’d be much harder to get Caroline back to the hotel afterward.

As far as he was concerned, winning over Caroline was more important than meeting some CEO.

After hanging up, Caroline paced outside the hotel entrance.

She didn’t see Linden, but she did run into another man.

“Caroline?”

At the sound of that deep, familiar voice, Caroline instinctively turned around.

It was Blake. What is he doing here?

Behind him trailed several men in formal suits, accompanied by a few security guards.

Caroline couldn’t quite figure out what was going on.

Blake quietly gave a few instructions to his assistant, who led the rest of the group into the hotel.

Once the impressive entourage had gone inside, Caroline asked Blake, “What brings you here?”
