This was probably the most comfortable sleep Slater had ever had in her life.
She didn't know how long she had slept!
She only remembered that last night, after being rescued by an Asian young man who claimed to be a thief,
The man took her and rented a room in a motel.
They talked a lot that night. The other party not only frankly told Slater his identity and why he saved her,
At the same time, the Asian young man also gently noticed her predicament.
He not only bought Slater a simple but delicious dinner but also prepared new clothes for her to change into.
That night, although they stayed in the same hotel,
Nothing happened!
Slater rested on the bed, while the other party voluntarily chose the sofa in the hotel living room and slept there for the night.
When she woke up, she saw that he was already awake.
In the living room, he was engrossed in a book about locks.
"You're awake!"
Apparently sensing her gaze, Slater quickly noticed that the Asian young man also looked up at her.
"Mm!"
Slater resisted the urge to stretch. She wouldn't fall in love at first sight with a young man she had just met.
But because she had developed a certain fondness for Hunter, she behaved very restrainedly.383
"Breakfast is ready. Would you like to wash up first, or have breakfast directly?"
Slater was a little surprised and followed his finger with her gaze.
She saw that on the table where the TV was placed in the hotel, there was indeed a breakfast.
"Thank you!"
Slater hadn't expected this Asian young man to be such a considerate person!
She thanked him, got out of bed, and then instinctively reached for her phone by the pillow, wanting to check the time.
After Slater's hand met empty air, she remembered her phone.
It had been taken from her by Steve's subordinates after she was kidnapped.
"Oh no, I remember Steve asked Charlie and the others to prepare the gold bricks yesterday to exchange for me."
"I need to contact them as soon as possible, lest they fall into Steve's ambush."
As her condition recovered, Slater quickly recalled many pieces of information she had overlooked after being rescued last night.
But soon, she frowned and stopped.
Because Slater realized that after losing her phone, she couldn't remember Charlie's contact information at all.
"What's wrong?"
Hunter saw Slater stunneding on the bed after waking up, and couldn't help but walk over and ask.
Slater hesitated for a moment before answering Hunter.
"Steve doesn't know his gold bricks were stolen by you."
"He thought Charlie stole them, so he kidnapped me and called Charlie, demanding he prepare the gold bricks within a day to exchange for me."
"Last night, he also seemed to have gone to Steve's villa to rescue me."
Hunter nodded, saying indifferently, "The Charlie you're talking about, is he that famous international thief?"
"Those gold bricks of Steve's, were they stolen by them from Italy a year ago?"
"Mm!"
Slater nodded. She felt it was unnecessary and certainly impossible to hide it from this Asian young man who seemed full of secrets.
Hunter then smiled and waved his hand, "Miss Brief, you don't need to worry at all."
"As far as I know, the international thief Charlie Clock has the world's top theft team."
"Every one of them is a world-class talent."
"Even if I hadn't interfered, they should have been able to rescue you easily."
Slater was about to nod, but then suddenly remembered.
Charlie, herself, and Old Bu had been observing and planning around Steve's villa in secret for almost a month.
Yet, before the operation could even be carried out, Steve's gold was stolen by this Asian young man, who also claimed to be a thief, right in front of her.
Her gaze involuntarily fell on his delicate face.
In an instant, Slater's confidence in Charlie wavered even more.
"Are they really okay?"
But thinking carefully, because her father, John Brief, had accepted Charlie's invitation and postponed his retirement to participate in his theft operation,
Slater had held a grudge against Charlie ever since her father lost his life because of it.
So much so that when Charlie appeared before her again,
And invited Slater to steal Steve's gold together to get revenge on Steve,
Although she didn't refuse, her main motivation was still to avenge her father.
Stella hadn't actually fully moved past the emotional knot of Charlie causing her father's death.
Therefore, besides keeping his contact information on her phone, she hadn't entered his life, nor had she let him start entering hers.
So now, even though Stella was somewhat worried about Charlie and the others,
She quickly realized that after losing her phone, she had no way of contacting them at all.
As for returning to Steve's villa to check on the situation...
Stop joking!
Steve was probably searching the whole world for her right now. If Stella really showed up and actively appeared under his nose,
That would be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth, and delivering itself to the door at that.
Realizing this, Stella could only nod helplessly.
She planned to call her company later to ask if Charlie and the others had appeared there or left a message.
Otherwise, she really couldn't get in touch with them for the time being.
Getting out of bed, Stella, who was in no mood to talk, stayed in the bathroom for a while.
When she came out again, she picked up the breakfast and saw it was a small Pizza Hut black pepper beef pizza.
Surprisingly, it was still somewhat warm.
"Aren't you having some?"
Stella rarely ate pizza before, but in the past two days, she had been imprisoned and starved by Steve.
Now, even fast food she used to look down on tasted incredibly delicious.
"I've already eaten."
Hearing this, Stella nodded and then began to eat.
"Are you sure you want to learn Lockpicking from me?"
She sat not far from Hunter, asking while she ate.
Clearly, after thinking it over all night, Stella had made up her mind.
The smile on Hunter's face immediately became even brighter.
"I'm sure!"
"I'll call you Hunter. You should stop calling me Miss Brief too; just call me Stella."
Stella hesitated for a moment before suddenly asking, "Hunter, why did you become a thief?"
"Since you know John Brief was my father, you should know that theft leads to no good end."
Hunter was stunned. He clearly hadn't expected Stella, whom he had known for less than twenty-four hours, to kindly advise him.
Obviously, because he saved her life, this woman had already started treating him as a friend.
"What a good woman."
Hunter thought for a moment before answering, "My parents died very early, and I have no other relatives. I have to find a way to support myself."
This was a very realistic answer.
Hunter wasn't lying, though he was being vague with his answer.
But Stella didn't know that. For a moment, the atmosphere in the hotel room became heavy.
"I'm sorry!"
"Don't worry about it!"
In the silence, Stella quickly finished the small black pepper beef pizza.
After eating, she looked at Hunter, who had become silent again and was quietly reading a book on the side.
After hesitating for a moment, she spoke again.
"As for the company, I'm worried Steve might still be watching, so I won't go there for now."
"Didn't you want to learn Lockpicking Skill from me? Come with me to a place in a bit."
"There are many tools there that can help me teach you how to pick locks."
"Okay!"
