Chapter 362 Before Tina could answer, Samuel opened his mouth and interrupted with his usual icy tone. “Simple. I was the one who kicked him out of the hotel.”
Leo was flabbergasted to hear the answer.
“W–Why would you...?”
Samuel huffed coldly before replying in a domineering way, “Next time, choose a normal secretary. Don‘t choose ones who cause trouble all the time without knowing who they‘re messing with.”
“O–Okay.” Leo had no choice but to comply.
After all, this was Samuel‘s personality. He was fine if no one provoked him, but he wouldn‘t hesitate to humiliate anyone who dared to anger him. “I‘ll have someone go to the hotel entrance and retrieve the documents from my secretary.” Samuel shot a cold look in Tina‘s direction. “You don‘t have to do it yourself, Mr. Beckett. I‘ll let my secretary retrieve the documents in your stead.” “Huh? Me?” Tina couldn‘t help but point at herself. “What else are you here for? Are you just going to leech off me?” Samuel sounded impatient.
Tina bit her bottom lip in response.
Leo could see the hesitant expression on her face, so he said, “Ahem! Miss Secretary‘s high heels seem to have some problems, so why don‘t I just send someone to...”
Samuel‘s expression darkened even more.
“Hurry up and go, Tina Lynd!”
Any regular person who had seen her condition would have known that she wasn‘t suited to run errands with her faulty shoes. But Samuel was no ordinary person now, was he?
He was a cold–blooded demon who wanted to torture her on purpose.
Tina took a deep breath and steeled herself. “Fine. I understand, Mr. Langford.” She didn‘t want to limp her way to the hotel entrance, so she decided to take off her high heels and walk there barefooted. That meant she would have to traverse through the banquet hall later, which would attract everyone‘s attention.
It was fine if she made a fool out of herself. She was just an ordinary secretary. The one who would feel the stinging embarrassment was Samuel. As expected, when Tina hurried down the corridor with bare feet and her high heels slung from her fingers, many people were quick to notice her. She walked to the hotel entrance without looking at anyone. Instead of going out to meet Desmond personally to request for the documents, she had the bodyguards do it in her stead.
However, the two people outside refused to cooperate with the bodyguards. They barged through the entrance just to see Tina standing there. “So you‘re the one behind all of this, Tina!” Desmond gasped, unable to believe his eyes. Meanwhile, Felicia‘s cheek was still red and swollen as she snarled out, “You‘re Mr. Langford‘s secretary? That‘s why you picked a fight with me on purpose just to kick us out! Tina Lynd, you‘re an awful and vile woman!”
Tina chortled coldly, not in the mood to argue with these shameless people. “Hand over the documents. If you choose to delay Mr. Langford and Mr. Beckett‘s partnership deal, you won‘t be able to lead comfortable lives in this city any longer.”
“You!” Desmond was enraged. “Karma will bite you in the ass!”
“I do hope that‘s the case. If karma ever drops by, I hope lightning will strike those who deserve it. Both of you can be the first ones to be punished!”
The moment Tina‘s words fell, thunder rumbled loudly in the skies above the hotel. Streaks of lightning could be seen flashing through the thick thunderclouds.
Ka–boom! Both Desmond and Felicia were shocked when they heard the loud rumbling. Tina was caught off guard as well, but she continued, “If you keep wasting my time here, lightning will definitely strike you!”
“You... You...!”
Desmond no longer dared to waste Tina‘s time and hurriedly handed her the documents. Then, he and Felicia left the hotel with their tails tucked between their legs. Tina returned to the conference room that housed Samuel and Leo via the same route, the documents stacked neatly in her arms. “Your presence isn‘t required here. Get out,” Samuel said coldly. Tina could only stand guard outside the door. However, a cold breeze kept blowing down the corridor. Not to mention, she was still standing on the floor barefooted. Soon, she was struck by a wave of dizziness, and she looked like she was about to collapse. Click! At that moment, the door behind her swung open slowly.
