Samuel didn’t say anything, and got out of the car in silence.
Tina trailed from behind and asked carefully, “Mr. Langford, should I take a taxi back home?”
Samuel snarled coldly, “From now onwards, you’ll be living together with me. We’ll be going to the company together early in the morning.”
Then, he left without giving her any further explanation.
Tina was left dumbfounded at the sudden news. ‘Is he for real?! Am I actually living with him? What did I do to him? Is this his way of taking revenge?’ She was in despair.
Even though she deeply hated the idea, she couldn’t bring herself to reject him.
In a car stationed afar, someone was eavesdropping on their conversation.
“I heard Mr. Langford has never allowed women to live in his private quarters, Mr. Carter. It seems this woman is an exception.”
The speaker was a scruffy-looking man none other than Mr. Jackson, the person Tina had bumped into while sending food at the nightclub.
John thought about the incident and muttered, “It seems she’s the kitten from last time.”
“Huh? What do you mean by that, Mr. Carter?” Mr. Jackson asked.
The driver explained, “During our last visit to Mr. Langford’s residence to discuss partnership, someone accidentally broke the vase by the stairs. Samuel claimed a kitten did it. Seems the cat turned out to be a woman.”
“Tsk, tsk. I see, he’s been playing around with that woman all this while.” Mr. Jackson grew even more curious. “Since he’s putting so much effort into hiding her, she should be a beauty. Pity, I can’t see her face clearly because it’s too dark.”
Tina, on the other hand, had no idea that know that she was the current hot topic.
Samuel strode forward quickly, not even bothered to turn back to check on her. Exhausted, she lay on the sofa and called it a night.
Early in the morning, Sandy arrived at Samuel’s private residence on time as always.
When he saw a person sleeping on the sofa, he jumped in shock. “Who’s there?!”
Just as Sandy was prepared to storm into the living room with his bodyguards, Tina got up and rubbed her eyes in a sluggish manner.
Sandy finally recognized her and asked, “Miss Lynd! Why are you here?”
When Tina tried to explain herself, she let out a loud sneeze. She didn’t expect to catch a cold just from a night out on the sofa.
Samuel frowned when he came downstairs, “Why were you sleeping in the living room?”
“I didn’t know where to sleep,” she replied quietly. You didn’t arrange a room for me, either.”
Last night, Samuel didn’t even bother to show her around the place. Worried that she would be scolded for searching the rooms without permission, Tina chose to spend the night on the sofa instead.
Samuel frowned irritatedly, “Sandy, arrange a room for her to sleep in. From now on, she’ll be living here.”
“Yes, Mr. Langford.”
Sandy appeared calm on the surface, but he was actually horrified by the fact that Samuel was actually living together with a woman. ‘This is madness!’
Tina then sneezed two times in a row. Looking at her haggard appearance, Samuel spat in disgust, “Send her to the hospital. Make sure she doesn’t fall ill.” Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
“This woman is unattractive in every single aspect imaginable. If it wasn’t for Madam Langford, Mr. Langford would’ve thrown her to the streets to fend for herself,’ Sandy thought.
After that, Samuel promptly left for work.
“Miss Lynd, please come with me,” Sandy said.
“I thought I had to go to work,” Tina said.
Sandy smiled politely and said, “Miss Lynd, the secretaries in the office are more than capable to handle everything. Your absence won’t make any difference to them.”
Tina understood what he meant instantly. Basically, she was just a nuisance in the office.
Fortunately, Tina had just caught a cold and nothing more. She would heal in no time even with over-the- counter medications.
After being late for an hour, she arrived at the office. When the secretaries in the office saw her, they frowned.
