Chapter 127
Allison followed Shawn into the office on the 66th floor
“Mr. Lindbergh, Ms. Zimmer is here”
“Come in ”
Allison gave Shawn a nod and once inside, she noticed the vast size of the office. It was decorated in cool tones that Lucian favored, with a large revolving bookshelf and a cabinet filled with various valuable trinkets.
Lucian was sitting on a sofa, legs crossed. Their eyes met, and Allison was the first to look away She whispered, “Mr. Lindbergh, I want my earring back. “
“Were you the one who took me home last night?”
Allison nodded in confirmation For double the overtime pay, she was willing
His gaze deepened Allison, how did your earring end up on my bed?”
Allison’s eyes widened in surprise
So the earring had fallen off in his bedroom. She saw the disgust in his eyes. “You were drunk. I helped you upstairs, but I tripped and fell when I was laying you down,” she explained
Lucian didn’t buy her explanation. He knew Allison was always trying to get close to him. For a simple silver earring worth no more than a few dozen dollars, she had brashly gone to Magnolia Gardens. If it weren’t for the surveillance, he wouldn’t have known about her scheming
He picked up the earring from the coffee table. “You trespassed at Magnolia Gardens for something so cheap, Allison. I don’t believe a word you’re saying”
Allison responded, “The earring may not be expensive, but its value to me isn’t about its price. I hope you can return it to me. I didn’t mean to trespass. I was pulled in by Lucky when he suddenly opened the door from the inside”
Since she was already inside, she naturally wanted to find the earring if she found it, she wouldn’t have to see Lucian again.
She approached him, bending over in sincerity “I apologize, and I hope you can return my earring. To you, it may be a cheap item, but to me, it’s a gift from my boyfriend that
I cherish
Lucian’s eyes turned cold. Her words were like a needle piercing his forehead. He didn’t know why, but he felt uncomfortable. He looked at the hexagram earring in his hand and suddenly found it irritating
