I Fell for the Man Who Ruined Me, Then He Forgot He Ever Loved Me Back novel Chapter 243

Jorrod rapidly scanned the room. His long legs ate up the distance in seconds, bringing him directly to the unconscious woman slumped over the table. He leaned down and seemed to whisper something to her.

Sienna didn't even lift her head. She just lazily raised an arm and slapped Jorrod dead center across the face. *Smack!*

The sharp sound echoed like a gunshot in the dead silent room.

Mindy watched in absolute, paralyzed horror. Her heart nearly stopped beating.

She waited for the cold, untouchable CEO to erupt. Instead, the man simply frowned, grabbed Sienna's offending hand to check her palm for a couple of seconds, and then stripped off his heavy overcoat to drape it over her shoulders.

He leaned down again, sliding one arm behind her back and the other under her knees, effortlessly lifting her securely against his chest, cocooned in his coat.

He turned, ready to walk out.

Mindy had no idea where she found the courage, but she threw herself in his path. "M-Mr. Vaughn. Sienna's boyfriend is coming to get her. A... a message was already sent..."

It was one thing if Rena texted the wrong number, but what if her boyfriend actually showed up, only to find some other man had carried his girlfriend away? How was anyone going to explain that?

Jorrod finally shifted his terrifying gaze to the vaguely familiar employee.

He recognized her as someone who often walked alongside Sienna.

They were likely good friends.

This was the first time Mindy had ever stood face-to-face with the big boss. His stare felt like an invisible net tightening around her throat. She looked down, swallowing hard, terrified to move but stubbornly refusing to step aside.

Jorrod lowered Sienna slightly, letting her weight rest entirely against him.

He pulled a white phone from his pocket, swiped the screen, and shoved it in Mindy's face.

"Are you referring to this?" he asked coldly.

Mindy tentatively leaned in. When she read the screen, she sucked in a sharp breath.

[Hubby, I drank way too much at the dinner. I'm so dizzy. Can you come pick me up?]

Sent time: A little over ten minutes ago.

Her pupils shrank to pinpricks. She snapped her head around to look at the paralyzed Rena standing behind her.
