Spoiled by Mr Russell (Lily Christian and Alexander) novel Chapter 1808

A moment of silence later, Mike still could not hold himself back. “I promised Alex I’d keep you safe, so I won’t let you die here.”

His tone was determined as he repeated his promise, even if Lily did not take the matter to heart. She walked around the room and realized it was pretty small but much better than where she stayed when she worked for X Department.

All the bedding and other necessities were prepared. Then she looked at the bathroom and breathed a sigh of relief when she noticed they did not install any surveillance cameras in her room or the bathroom. If they did, that would rid her of all privacy.

After dealing with this matter for quite some time, she was already tired and pulled a chair closer to take a seat. When she noticed Mike still standing at the door, looking demure, she said softly, “It’s okay. I didn’t choose to do this in the heat of the moment, so you don’t have to get so worked up over this.

“Even if I didn’t say those things, they wouldn’t keep me here once I couldn’t provide any value to them anymore, so I don’t need to walk on eggshells around them. Since they still need me, anything I say wouldn’t matter. The same goes for when they don’t need me anymore.” Lily paused, appearing to be in her thoughts as she smiled.

“Oh, right. Speaking of your son, do you still have no clue about his whereabouts?” Lily asked, “It’s been some time since you’ve worked here. Can’t you just…”

Before she finished her words, Mike interrupted her hastily, “No! I tried, and it’s useless. Now, I can only do anything that the organization’s superiors request. Once it’s done, I believe Nicky will return to my side, safe and sound.”

Lily had no words, as his words sounded strange to her. Before she could voice her doubts, she saw Mike striding toward her. Then he stretched his arm out, wanting to grip hers.

Surprised, Lily wanted to fight back but noticed his other hand was on his lips, motioning for her to stay silent while his eyes glanced left and right.
