The squad member’s eyes turned bloodshot as he dashed forward while yelling, “Ms. Woods? Ms. Woods, where are you?”
“I’m here, Mr. Dahl! I’m here…”
Amidst the ruckus, a familiar female voice rang out, accompanied by a series of coughs. She seemed shaken.
The squad member, Karsten Dahl, scurried toward her instantly.
Indeed, in the emergency ward that was blown up, he saw a woman curled up in a corner shaking in fear. She was both bruised and battered from the explosion.
“Ms. Woods, don’t be afraid. Are you all right?” Karsten hurried to her side and checked her condition.
Luckily, though she was injured, it wasn’t serious. The moment Karsten arrived, Kira collapsed to the ground in fear.
“Devin! I-I want Devin…” she wailed like a traumatized child.
Grabbing Karsten’s arm, she demanded to see Devin.
Karsten was at a loss for words.
He took one look at her and picked her up.
After they entered his SUV parked outside the hospital, he drove back to their base.
Back in Avenport.
To prepare for tonight’s dinner with Solomon and the Hayeses, Sasha woke up early to head to the hotel so that she could select the dishes herself.
Sebastian could barely conceal the shadow on his face.
“You seem to care for him a lot,” he remarked gloomily.
“Ah?” Sasha raised her head and looked at him. “Sebby, stop it. I’m doing this for you! If he resigns, you’ll have to return to Hayes Corporation!” she uttered with a pout.
Sebastian fell silent. What’s going on? I’m the upset one, but why do I have to coax her now? She’s grown smart now, huh?
Realizing the situation was now in her control, the man clenched his teeth angrily.
The moment she shot him a pitiful gaze, his heart had already melted into a puddle.
He strode over and pulled her into his embrace before planting a firm kiss on her lips as a form of punishment. He then released her.
“All right. Drive safe. I won’t be home today.”
“Mm?” Sasha’s brain was fuzzy from the sudden kiss. His words didn’t really register in her brain.
