“Why? You’re my secretary, aren’t you? Are you planning to leech off me?”
Samuel shot Tina a cold glare.
“Also, your services are quite decent. You’ll be in charge of my meals at the company in the future.”
The thought of returning to Samuel’s side stressed Tina out immensely.
However, she knew that it was a bad idea to turn him down. Thus, she could only grit her teeth and ask, “You didn’t bother drinking the coffee that I brewed in the past, Mr. Langford. What made you decide that I’m the best person to be in charge of your mealtimes?”
Samuel.lifted an eyebrow upon hearing her question.
Why did she still remember that petty slight? “Are you complaining to me?” His tone might sound casual and lazy, but Tina’s heart couldn’t help but skip a beat at the sound of it. She could sense a trace of danger in that tone. She quickly replied, “You’re misunderstanding me, Mr. Langford. I didn’t mean it like that. I just thought that you’re placing too much trust in me…”
The sight of her trying to explain herself made Samuel’s expression darken even more.
“That’s true. At least you know your place. Women like you aren’t trustworthy at all.”
Samuel rose to his feet immediately, the plates and cutlery clattering loudly during the process. He looked so terrifying that all the servants quickly bowed their heads out of fright.
The man resembled a ferocious lion. Even after leaving the dining hall in wide strides, everyone was still intimidated by his frightening appearance.
All Tina felt was a strong sense of frustration. Nothing would’ve happened if only she was a mute.
No matter how much she tried to explain herself, Samuel would never listen to her. Also, he would never believe in her words.
Every time she said something, even a bit, he would lose his temper. Tina stood up silently and started clearing the table. Upon hearing the plates and bowls clinking against each other, the servants finally snapped out of their trance. “Miss Lynd, we’re responsible for cleaning up. Please put down the plates.”
Tina replied, “It’s alright. I can help you guys with the clean-up.”
“There’s no need for that. You’re Mr. Langford’s… uh, secretary right now. It’s not within your job scope.” novelbin
Tina could detect a trace of hesitance from the servant’s tone.
Legally speaking, she was Samuel’s secretary. But in reality, what exactly did her job scope
encompass?
She was just a mere tool for him to vent out his sexual frustrations. Now that Samuel had flown into a fit of rage, everyone hoped for her to appease him and calm him down. However, Tina was no fool, How could she expose herself to more of Samuel’s fits of rage at a time like this?
Instead of exposing the servant’s true intention, she simply opened her mouth to rebuke.
“Mr. Langford mentioned that I’m supposed to resume work at the company tomorrow by taking care of his meals. It’s not wrong for me to practice in advance, right?”
The servant didn’t dare to comment anything after that. Tina dilly-dallied in the kitchen till nightfall. It was already bedtime, and yet Samuel had no intention of summoning her to his bedroom.
It seemed like she was able to escape from sleeping with him when he was furious with her. At that moment, a servant knocked on the kitchen door and said, “Miss Lynd, Mr. Langford has summoned you to the study.”
Her heart sinking rapidly, Tina had no choice but to wash her hands before heading toward the study together with the servant.
The lights in the study were on. Samuel was seen clad in a loose shirt as he went through piles of documents. He didn’t even bother lifting his head when Tina came in.
She stood in front of him till her legs were sore and wobbly. If it wasn’t for Samuel’s unspoken rule of barring anyone from entering his study without his permission, she would’ve thought that the servant intended to pull a prank on her earlier. Tina couldn’t help but open her mouth to say something. “Mr. Langford, it’s already this late. Do you want to rest for the night…” “Get out,” Samuel replied coldly.
Needless to say, Tina was confused. Just as she was about to leave the study, she added another hesitant question. “T-Then… May I go to bed?”
Samuel’s one-worded response was packed with more rage than before.
“Leave!”
Feeling her frustration spilling over the edge at Samuel’s mood swings, Tina was about to rush back to her room when one of his subordinates stopped her hastily. “To be honest, Miss Lynd, that wasn’t what Mr. Langford meant…”
