Tina was unable to understand what the subordinate was trying to say. “Then what did he
mean?”
As the subordinate had been standing guard outside the study the entire time, he was able to witness her interactions with Samuel.
He couldn’t help but wipe cold sweat off his brow as he shot a vigilant glance in the study’s direction. Then, he lowered his voice and whispered cautiously, “Haven’t you realized that Mr. Langford actually cares about you?”
The moment Tina heard the question, she had a feeling that the subordinate was there to cheer her up with that joke.
“How’s that possible? I have eyes, you know! I’m not blind!”
The subordinate was frightened by Tina’s bold response. He wanted to cover her mouth, but at the same time, he was afraid that he might offend her by doing so. Hence, he replied anxiously, “Please don’t say such things in front of Mr. Langford! Oh, heavens, Mr. Langford’s personality has always been like this! He tends to not spare people from humiliation…”
“Of course I know that. What does any of that have to do with him caring about me?” Tina’s tone was awfully cold.
The sight of her sudden apathy made the subordinate’s heart go cold. “Haven’t you noticed it yet, Miss Lynd? The reason Mr. Langford had you wait in the study the whole time was because he was waiting for you to appease him with nice words! What if I tell you that if you return to the study and say something nice to him, he won’t stay mad at you?”
Tina was stunned to hear the subordinate’s response.
“Stay mad at me? What do you mean by that? Are you telling me that Samuel’s throwing a tantrum because of me?”
Tina could barely believe her ears. That was Samuel Langford they were talking about – the esteemed CEO of the Langford Group! His words could determine one’s fate, after all! Was there even a need for him to throw a tantrum because of her?
Naturally, the subordinate was scared out of his wits. “Please don’t say those things in front of Mr. Langford! He can’t afford to have his reputation ruined, after all! If you don’t believe me, you can try my suggestion out!”
Tina hesitated for a moment.
She didn’t think her words would possess such power and authority over Samuel, to the extent she could calm him down and rid him of his anger.
The subordinate added, “Besides, Miss Lynd… Don’t you want to see your daughter? If you can appease Mr. Langford and please him, you might be able to see her again!”
His sentences hit Tina right in her weak spot.
She took a deep breath. Since she had completely offended Samuel earlier, she didn’t mind offending him one more time.
“Alright. I’ll try it out.” Tina returned to the study once again. This time, she was back with a cup of fresh coffee and some snacks.
She knocked on the door a few times while feeling anxious.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
“Get lost!” Samuel’s tone was cold and ruthless.
Tina wanted to shrink away, but the subordinate standing behind her looked like he was cheering her on. Stuck between a rock and a hard place, she could only open her mouth to say something. “It’s me, Mr. Langford…”
Samuel frowned immediately, already forming a cold response. “Why are you back? Didn’t I tell you to get lost?”|| Tina replied dryly, “I… I’m here to serve you some coffee. Since you’ve been working for so long, it’s better for you to eat something in between…” Samuel gazed at her judgmentally “Who taught you this?”
As expected, he sensed that something was amiss. Suspicion was written all over his eyes. Tina was guilt-ridden, but she pretended to be cool and collected. “No one taught me anything. I can’t help but feel worried, so I came back…” Samuel responded by shooting her a cold smirk. It was obvious he didn’t believe what she said. Miraculously, instead of telling her to get lost again, he merely tilted his chin and ordered,“ Put down the tray.” Tina couldn’t help but feel surprised.
Originally, she thought that this method wouldn’t work. She would most likely get tossed out of the study by his subordinates at his command. Unexpectedly, the method of her sacrificing her pride in order to please him actually worked.
