“Yes, sir.” The assistant looked at Tina, a mixture of awe and respect in his eyes.
Once the assistant spread the news, all of the staff members who were supposed to attend the meeting were shocked, to say the least.
A blue moon must have appeared last night. To think the demonic CEO of the Langford Group would choose to have lunch on time today…!
While Samuel ate his lunch, Tina was constantly under stress and anxiety.
Fortunately, since he was busy with work, he didn’t cause trouble for Tina. Having filled his stomach with food, he left for his meeting quickly. Tina tidied up everything before asking the assistant, “Is there anything I can help out with
here?”
“Well, I do have a stack of important documents. Once Mr. Langford is done with his meeting, you can bring them over for him to look over and sign.” “That’s a pretty simple task, isn’t it?” “Miss Lynd, it may be simple for you, but to us, that task is anything but that!” the assistant said meaningfully.
Tina guessed that it was most likely due to Samuel’s bad temper that went rampant at the company, causing his employees to view him as a monster.
Unfortunately, they overestimated her capabilities.
She was also one of his victims, alright?!
Tina didn’t turn the task down. After all, she was also a part of Samuel’s company now. As such, she shouldn’t mooch off him for free.
After receiving the documents, Tina placed them on her desk. Then, she switched on her computer and started working on a few Excel sheets in order to pass time.
Since she wasn’t an official employee of the company, no one would entrust complicated tasks to her.
A while later, her phone started ringing.
Tina glanced at the screen. It was an unknown number, so she picked it up without studying the numbers.
“Hello? Who’s this?”
She continued typing away on the keyboard loudly while speaking,
However, no one replied to her from the other end of the line. Did she accidentally hang up? Or was it possible that she didn’t put the call on speaker mode?
Just as Tina stopped typing, a cold laughter drifted from the speaker.
“Tina, I heard he delayed the meeting just for you. I guess it’s true that you’re Samuel’s favorite woman.” novelbin
Her expression immediately changed when she recognized the voice.
“What the hell, Desmond? Are you done messing with me?”
“Of course not! I let you in on the confidential matters, didn’t I? If you refuse to work for me, I won’t be able to report to my superiors about the progress!” Tina didn’t hesitate to rain on his parade. “Your fate has nothing to do with me!” “Don’t be so hasty to draw conclusions, Tina. I’m outside the Langford Group right now. Why don’t you come over and meet up with me?” “That’s impossible. Just give up already!”
“What if I tell you that your daughter is with me right now?” Tina’s heart lurched when she heard the rhetorical question. At the same time, she found herself placing unwavering trust in Samuel’s methods of concealing Kara.
If her precious daughter could appear anytime she wanted, she would’ve thought of a way to escape with Kara unscathed a long time ago.
“I don’t trust anything you say. Do you seriously think Samuel’s men are incapable of doing their jobs?” Tina chuckled coldly in response.
“That’s right. If I were alone, I wouldn’t be able to do anything. But the people backing me up are major players in Paris. Compared to a foreigner like Samuel, they have many ways under their belt to whisk someone away in this country!”
“I won’t budge unless you let me hear her voice right now…”
Before Tina could finish her sentence, she heard Kara’s cries drifting from the other end of the line.
“Mommy, they’re all bad guys! Don’t trust them!”
Tina’s mind went blank for a moment. No longer daring to hesitate, Tina stumbled out of the office in a state of panic.
