“I dare to get closer to Leonard because Leonard is unmarried, and no one will gossip about me and Leonard. I don’t have to worry about the rumors and slanders.”
Lumma did want to tell Adam so in a loud voice, but he was the leader of Hills Group while she was an insignificant assistant. Adam could undo all her efforts with a single word, so how could she be serious with him?
Lumma didn’t say anything and looked at him silently, and Adam also stared at her.
It was Adam who was angry with Lumma for no reason, but now he looked at her, as if she had done something wrong and was waiting for his judgment.
At a distance of a few dozen feet, Lumma felt as if she were being burned by his anger.
She sat back in her seat silently, picked up the fork, and ate with big mouthfuls.
After a long silence, Adam’s voice sounded again, but this time it was much softer, “Go back to rest early after dinner. Go to see a doctor if you feel uncomfortable.”
Lumma nodded obediently, “Yes.”
The usual Adam was enough to scare people, and the angry Adam was simply a terrifying existence like a devil, and staying in the same space with him for one more second would be a torment.
Lumma ate some indiscriminately and quickly fled this dangerous place.
Lumma went back to her room. When the door was closed to shut out the eyes of all, the smile vanished instantly from Lumma’s face, and the wound in her arm was still so painful that she ground her teeth.
Lumma did not want her weak side to be seen. She did not want to see sympathy or pity in the eyes
of others. It was only when she was alone that she dared to take off the mask that covered her true
self and reveal her true emotions.
The doctor had dealt carefully with the wound in her arm, but she had lost a piece of flesh, so how could it not hurt? She smiled and said it had not hurt before, but it was all a disguise, as she bore the pain forcibly.
Seeing that this method was effective against the wild dog, Lumma repeated this action, and the wild dog took a few steps back. The wild dog soon realized it had been fooled, and rushed towards Lumma crazily.
When Lumma thought she was doomed, she closed her eyes in fright, but instead of the expected pain, she heard the screams of the wild dog.
Such screams sounded on the rainy night, very frightening.
Lumma opened her eyes and saw Steve with a terrifying murderous intent in his eyes, holding a dying wild dog in his hand….
Both Steve and the dog were scary.
Lumma subconsciously took a step back, “Mr. Cohan, why, why are you here?”
Lumma remembered that Steve did not fly to the western with them this time, but now he suddenly appeared in front of her, which made her curious.
Steve glanced at her as impassively as before, and, without a word, turned and went away with the dying wild dog in his hand.
