Shane was utterly frustrated as the whole department could not even guard a woman.
Lucy lowered her head and uttered with a soft voice, “I know I should not be here, but I was worried about you. So I
came to check on you.”
“Worried about me?” Shane furrowed his brows.
Lucy nodded slightly. “Yes, Mr. Shane. Is your wound all right?”
She gazed at his forehead with a worried look.
Shane was overwhelmed with frustration. “It has nothing to do with you, and I don't need your care.”
Lucy felt a blow to her heart upon hearing that. She displayed a sorrowful look, as though she was an innocent
victim.
“Mr. Shane, I was the one who saved you. Why can't I care for you? I...”
“That's enough!” Shane raised his hand and interrupted her abruptly. “I have my personal doctor and my assistant.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAnd also my wife and my children. I have all of them to care for me, so I don't need another stranger for that.
Please leave now.”
Lucy staggered backward in disbelief. “Stranger?”
I've saved his life, yet he treats me as a stranger.
Tears started brimming in Lucy's eyes as she could not believe what she heard.
How could he treat me like this? I don't mind if he doesn't want to befriend me. But I'm way more than a stranger
to him. I'm his savior!
She thought he would show some favor for her because she rescued him, but it turned out she had been deluding
herself.
She cast an indignant look at him as though he had betrayed her. However, Shane still acted indifferently toward
her.
Eventually, she could not suppress her rage. “You are too much!”
She turned and left abruptly upon saying that; her eyes welled up with tears.
If I knew he would treat me like this, I wouldn't have rescued him. What a b*stard! I've even come this far for him!
After Lucy left, Shane was still in utter befuddlement, not knowing what he had done wrong.
Nonetheless, he did not bother much about it as he figured Lucy was merely a crazy woman.
“Oh, Silas.” Just then, he took out his phone and called Silas.
Silas was chatting with Sally at the staff cafeteria. After answering the call, he went to a quiet corner. “Mr. Shane, is
there anything?”
“Lucy was outside my office just now,” Shane sounded utterly displeased.
Silas almost choked himself upon hearing that. “Mr. Shane, are you saying that she went to the top floor?”
“Yes.” Shane nodded slightly.
Silas inhaled sharply. “How did she manage to get there?”
“I'm the one who should be asking this question. What exactly did you tell the janitorial staff?” Shane's expression
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdarkened.
Silas shrugged his shoulders. “I've explained to them clearly. I have no idea how she managed to outsmart them.
Don't worry, Mr. Shane. I will double up the safety measure. She won't ever have another chance to come up here.”
Upon hearing that, Shane's expression resumed to normal while he nodded.
Silas let out a sigh. “By the way, did she do anything to you?”
What kind of question is that?
Shane did not respond to that, and he hung up the phone abruptly.
Only after a few seconds did Silas realize Shane ended the call.
Since he did not complain, it looks like she has done nothing to him. Regardless of how determined she is, I suppose
she still lacks the capability.
Silas did not return to his lunch as he had lost his appetite. Without any delay, he went right to the janitorial
department to settle the matter with the manager, as well as with Lucy.
Meanwhile, Shane drove back to Thompson villa.
Natalie noticed his dark expression and immediately cared for him.
With that, he told her the whole story.
