Chapter 100
Chapter 100 Mr. Jackson decided to annoy her even further. “I was only asking for your number the last time I met you, but you treated me like vermin. Are you aware of the humiliation I had to endure from my friends just because I got rejected by a woman like you? I won’t let you off the hook this time!”
“Serve you right! If I were your friend, I’d be laughing at you too!” Tina spat sarcastically. Mr. Jackson stood rooted to the ground, amazed by this woman’s audacity. Nobody in Freesia dared to regard him with such disrespect! Most of the time, they would let it slide because his father was also one of the powerful figures in Freesia. Women from all around would flock to him for a taste of money and power!
All his life, he had never been rebuked by a woman. Tina was a unique exception.
Right at this moment, someone spoke politely from afar, “Mr. Langford, welcome.” ‘Mr. Langford? Samuel’s here!’ Tina was horrified.
Her complexion changed instantly. She ignored Mr. Jackson and hid from view.
Fortunately, she managed to avoid bumping into Samuel. Not long after, Samuel appeared. Mr. Jackson looked nervous and hurried to greet Samuel politely. “Good day, Mr. Langford.” After all, nobody had the guts to ignore the Tyrant of Freesia. Samuel didn’t even spare a glance at Mr. Jackson as he rushed to the ward. When Tina saw that he was gone, she heaved a sigh of relief.
Tina’s odd reaction didn’t go unnoticed by Mr. Jackson. He asked curiously, “Why are you hiding from Samuel? Don’t tell me…”
“It’s none of your business!” Tina glared at him. When he wasn’t paying attention, she leapt to her feet and ran into the escalator.
Extremely curious about Tina’s identity, Mr. Jackson called his friends for information.
“That woman we saw at The Navy, find out who she is.”
His friends instantly made fun of him. “Don’t tell me you’ve fallen in love with her? Are you finally settling down? Your father will be very happy to know this!” “Stop that! Are you going to help me or not? Cut the crap if you don’t,” he spat.
“Of course we’ll do our best! Your love life is at stake, after all.”
Tina felt relieved when she finally got rid of that shameless pest of a man.
She returned to her apartment to rest. The next day, while she was working, she received a phone call.
“Miss Lynd, this is Sandy.”
Tina was shocked. Why would Sandy call her out of the blue?
“Mr. Langford wants to see you right now.” After saying that, Sandy forwarded an address to
her.
She couldn’t believe it. What was Samuel playing at? Tina was sure that she didn’t do anything that would offend him in any way.
She thought about Madam Langford’s words yesterday. “Is he trying to warn me to stop manipulating Grandma because he’s getting married to Cindy?’ ‘That’s a possibility. But if Samuel really wants to make things difficult for me, he would’ve instructed his men to kidnap me. He wouldn’t ask Sandy to relay the message.
Cindy wouldn’t dare to make him wait. She ran to her superior’s office and requested for a few hours of leave.
The superior agreed without a fuss. After Tina informed the taxi driver of the address, she sat in the car, worrying about what would happen to her later.
Finally, she arrived.
The car slowed down gradually and the taxi driver said, “Miss, we’re here.” After Tina paid the fare, the driver added a strange comment. “Congratulations! Have a good one, Miss. Bye!” Tina stared blankly at the car driving into the distance, utterly confused. Suddenly, Sandy appeared before her. “Miss Lynd, let’s go. You have to sign your name on the marriage contract.”
