Alice the secretary couldn‘t help but cover her mouth when she heard Tina‘s question, a smug smile curled on her lips.
“Oh, wow! Don‘t you know what we‘re planning to do even after things have progressed to this point?”
Tina‘s head felt terribly heavy. She was under extreme discomfort, as if her limbs were filled with lead.
She managed to lift her head to see not only the secretary, but also a figure lying on a hospital bed near her.
It was the same old man who tried to molest her in the bathroom last night, only to get knocked out by a kick from Samuel
Unexpectedly, that old man refused to give up. Instead, he had ordered his men to capture her.
Bandages were wrapped around the old man‘s head. He took in Tina‘s pale and weak appearance before saying arrogantly, “If it wasn‘t for you last night, my deal with the Langford Group would‘ve gone through without a hitch! Thanks to you, I got injured and hospitalized! In the end, not only did I not get to sign the contract with Mr. Langford, but he also canceled the deal! This is all your fault!”
He then continued in a lecherous tone, “If you serve me now, I might spare your life. Otherwise… Hehe!”
The old man‘s flabby cheeks shivered like jelly with every laugh he emitted.
Tina was so disgusted by his words that she replied, “I‘m Samuel‘s woman! If you dare to lay a finger on me, he won‘t ever let you go!” “Hahaha! Just keep lying! There aren‘t any women hanging around Mr. Langford at all! There‘s no way he‘ll even pay attention to you, what with your lowly identity and all! Do you seriously think you‘re the mistress of the Langford family?” the old man retorted spitefully. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Alice kept giggling as well. “Sir, I think she’s still pretty drowsy. Maybe she‘s in too much of a daze to differentiate reality from fantasy. Why don’t I dump more cold water on her to wake her up?”
Once her words fell, Alice poured a few glasses of cold water before dumping them on Tina.
Tina‘s wet clothes clung to her frail frame as a result.
The old man‘s excitement grew when he noticed Tina‘s wretched state. He said enthusiastically, “How can she sober up with just a few glasses of water? Take her to the bathroom and bathe her there! Make sure she‘s squeaky clean before bringing her back here!”
The beautiful secretary, Alice, nodded before calling in the bodyguards.
“Stop gawking there! Didn‘t you hear the boss‘s order? Get in here and help me out!”
“Understood, ma‘am.” The sight of ‘Tina looking so limp and weak made them lower their guard.
Without warning, she suddenly sprung up ferociously and grabbed one of the bodyguards‘ arms when they least expected it. She grabbed the electric kettle on the bedside table and slammed it on the bodyguard‘s head.
“Argh!”
Bam!
Shards littered the floor immediately. The group never expected that Tina would retaliate.
Tina quickly rushed out of the ward, followed by the old man‘s bodyguards. “Hurry up and catch her! D*mn it! How dare she run at a time like this?! I wanted to give her a chance, but looks like tht there‘s no
need to spare her now! Kill her straight away once you catch her!”
Tina was too exhausted to move. Every inch of her body screamed in agony. Her legs were especially weak and felt no different than limp noodles. Pain shot up her poor legs with every step she took The poor woman could only bite her bottom lip and did her best to endure the pain. Soon, cold sweat covered her forehead. But no matter how much she tried to run, her steps ended up becoming slower and slower.
Tina suddenly tripped over her own feet and started collapsing forward. She thought she was going to die at that moment due to the harsh fall that she would suffer from shortly afterward. Unexpectedly, a figure suddenly appeared from a corner in front of her. She found herself collapsing into the arms of that person. She also seemed to have smelt a familiar scent that made her feel safe amidst the awful haze.
