“If you don't hurry up and finish the proposal you should be doing, you might lose all your bonus this month!”
“If you don't hurry up and finish the proposal you should be doing, you might lose all your bonus this month!”
Feigning anger, Harold shot a glare at his colleague.
In truth, he was doing so to conceal the embarrassment within him.
Upon hearing that, his colleague flinched.
He was then certain that Harold's relationship with Wrenna had crossed the lines of propriety, but he didn't dare offend the man.
If he were to say something to Ms. Turner when doing the deed with her, my bonus this month would be gone!
Ignoring the look in his colleagues' eyes, Harold started getting busy with his work.
Throughout the entire morning, he noticed that Wrenna didn't come out of her office anymore. Even during lunch, she had food delivered.
The morning passed quietly.
Shortly after everyone had all gone back to work after their lunch break, Wrenna's office door suddenly swung open.
With panic etched across her features, she left the office with her bag.
Harold, who had been keeping a close eye on her office door, glimpsed the panic on her face. That aside, he noticed that she was actually leaving with her bag despite the time.
Something must have happened. Otherwise, she wouldn't be wearing such an expression or acting in such a manner.
Immediately, he put his work aside and hurried after her.
“Did something happen, Wrenna?”
He only managed to catch up with her at the underground parking lot. Blocking her path, he asked her that question in puzzlement.
“My brother took Char away. I've got to go home and get her back!”
While answering him, she circled around him and slipped into her car.
“I'll go with you!”
Without even thinking about it, Harold pulled open the passenger door and climbed in as well.
Just when he thought that she would be grateful to him, Wrenna turned his offer down all of a sudden.
“No. It must have been Char's father who ordered my brother to come over. If you go with me, he'll never let you off the hook!”
As she said that, she tried to push him out of the car.
Alas, her strength was insufficient to budge him.
Meanwhile, Harold was completely stunned by her words.
Whoa! She actually knows how to consider others. She isn't as apathetic as I thought!
“It's okay. I've trained in combat arts before. Have you forgotten that I was once in the military? I had special training, so I can hold my own against several men. Let's go!” Harold declared airily.
Immediately, he put his work aside and hurried after her.
“No, you can't go with me. Char's father is no ordinary person. He's the owner of a security firm on the surface, but in truth, he was the leader of the underground circle of the neighboring state back then, having command of over a thousand men. What's the use even if you can fight a few men?”
Worried that he had no idea about the threat Charlotte's father posed, Wrenna explained the man's identity to him briefly.
Unfortunately, it only made Harold all the more confused.
Previously, Margarette told me that it was Wrenna who sent Charlotte's father to prison. But from what she's saying right now, Charlotte's father is the leader of the underground circle of the neighboring state. How did she manage to accomplish such a feat, considering his identity? On top of that, I wonder whether Char is her child with that man. If the answer is yes, why was she still a virgin last night, untouched and pure? But if the answer is no, what's her relationship with them?
All that piqued Harold's curiosity greatly.
“He's just the leader of the underground circle, no? I saved his daughter, Char. Someone like him attaches great importance to repaying debts of gratitude, so he definitely won't do anything to me!”
