My Paranoid Lover (Lance Mason) novel Chapter 25

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.

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.
