Chapter 25 Committed Suicide?
I reached the company and started the meeting.
Lance was on his seat looking annoyed while Lawrence reported. He kept yawing.
“Why are you so sleepy? I thought you always sleep early?” Lance scolded.
Lawrence was woken up by me last night to pick me up, that must be why he was so tired. I felt guilty.
Lawrence put down the sketch in his hands and stared at Lance. He then said word by word: “I went to
save a lady last night. She was abandoned by a male friend in the middle of the road in the night, do
you agree that this is call saving someone else’s life?”
I was shocked that Lawrence would speak to Lance this way, he was Lance’s worker!
Wasn’t he afraid that Lance would fire him for defending me?
Lance fiddled with the pen in his hands and smirked. He didn’t got mad. He looked at me and looked
back at Lawrence. “Oh? This lady must be very gorgeous for you to get out of bed to save her!” he
said.
“Yea, Lawrence, share the details! Is she pretty?” the other colleagues started asking.
Lawrence’s gaze fell on me and smiled: “Nah, just a friend, she isn’t interested in me don’t simple
guess.”
“Seems like it’s one sided then!” another colleague said.
Why are these people such busy bodies?
“Don’t joke, please. Let’s get on with the meeting!” Lawrence glanced at me again and said.
He must be embarrassed that instead of scolding him, Lance and the others started questioning him
about his love life or crush.
Lance’s eyes jumped from me to Lawrence and back to me again. He didn’t look too happy, but who
the hell cares about him? He must already know Lawrence was the one who saved me yesterday. So
what? Lance was the one who abandoned me.
There’s no law stating that a man can’t help a defenseless lady in the middle of the night.
Want me to die? Not so easy.
After the meeting, on our way back to our offices, Lance suddenly spoke to me. “I
Chapter 25 Committed Suicide? really admire your seductions, only just a short amount of time and
Lawrence is already doing anything for you.”
The public thinks Lance is a gentleman, I wonder if they would change their minds if they heard how he
just spoke to me?
“We are just friends.” I didn’t want to explain anymore.
But he didn’t let me off. “What kind of friends would pick you up in the middle of the night and sacrifice
his sleep?”
“Anyone who’s human enough wouldn’t throw a girl out there alone in a winter’s night.” I stopped and
added: “Do you really hate me that much that you wanted me do die?”
I was sick of this. I was angry, upset, annoyed and full of hatred for this man.
This man, Lance Mason.
I seemed to have surprised him by my words. He froze and answered: “What are you saying? Hating
someone needs efforts, you’re just a toy to me.”
And with that he went into his office. I stood there staring at his back, my hands turning into a fist. What
he didn’t know was how much I wanted to kill him right there.
I entered my office. My phone rang, it was a stranger’s number. “Hello, is this Ms Gomez?”
| raised an eyebrow. “Yes, you are?”
“I’m from Hospital of Denmark, is Karen your mother?”
Hospital…..
I got a bad feeling.
“Yes, she is my mom, what happened?” I asked nervously.
“Your mom tried to commit suicide, she’s now in the ER. Someone left this number for us to dial. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Please come over as soon as you can.”
My phone dropped from my hands and onto the floor.
My mom really tried to kill herself, she wasn’t joking……
