On the way back home, Atwood got a phone call.
It was relevant to Lindsay, so he wondered if he should inform Stanford or not.
Stanford slightly frowned, “Go ahead.”
Finally, Atwood said honestly, “Lindsay said she has something to tell you.” Then he added, “I received a call earlier. It should be that Lindsay has promised the person some benefits, so the person called me.”
“What does she want to tell me?” Stanford asked in a cold tone.
“She said she wants to tell you in person,” said Atwood honestly.
He guessed Lindsay had asked someone to call him instead of Stanford because she was afraid Stanford wouldn’t give her a chance to speak. Stanford would definitely hang up the phone. Hence, she told the person his number.
“I won’t go to see her.” Stanford didn’t want to see such a vicious woman at all.
He regretted that he hadn’t found it earlier so that she had the chance to commit crimes.
Stanford knew what she wanted - she tried her best efforts to contact him just because she was afraid of death and wanted to live.
Atwood stammered, “Well... The person who called me said it’s something relevant to Mrs. James.”
Lindsay seemed to know Stanford well. She knew that he wouldn’t meet her so easily, so she told him something that interested him the most so that he could go to see her.
Stanford squinted.
Atwood still tried to convince Stanford, not for Lindsay but it was because they had worked together for so many years. Even if they were pet dogs, they had feelings, let alone they were human beings, “Isn’t it said that men speak kindly in the presence of death?”
“Ho ho,” Stanford sneered, “Even if she dies, she wouldn’t be kind.”
Lindsay could try to kill someone again and again. She had already lost her conscience. If she were still a bit humane, she wouldn’t have done it for the second time.
Besides, after she had killed Amanda, she didn’t feel regretful at all. She even faked as if nothing had happened.
How could such a woman be kind?
“Okay. Just ignore her then.” Atwood changed his mind pretty quickly and echoed Stanford.
Stanford said no, “I want to see what on earth she wants to change,” he said,
Atwood blinked, “Okay. I’ll arrange it for you.”
Stanford cast him a glance, feeling that Atwood was eager to visit Lindsay, “Atwood, is the girl you have a crush on Lindsay Leroy?” he asked.
Atwood gaped.
The subject was changed way too quickly.
He even didn’t know how to react.
“I... How can I have a crush on her?” Atwood denied it, “I just feel that we’ve worked together for a long time. In the end, I want to give her a chance to speak. I truly don’t have a crush on her.
Stanford put one hand in his pocket and cast him a casual glance, “Really?”
“Of course,” Atwood explained, “I just treat her as my coworker and friend. I don’t have any other feelings for her.”
“You are way too excited. I’m just asking.” Stanford sat on the chair, “You may leave now.”
