Chapter 154 Are There Thorns on My Hands?
“Yeah…”
Leo raised his eyebrows. “That’s not what you said in the tent last night.”
Everyone was shocked upon hearing that.
Sasha looked at him in disbelief, and so did Megan. What was he doing?
After the incident in the morning, so many employees were present. She had finally managed to muddle through and not implicate him. What was he doing
now?
She looked around warily. Fortunately, the other employees had gone up the
mountain and no one had come back yet.
She raised her voice and said, “What the hell are you talking about?”
“You know very well.” He chuckled proudly and looked at Paul. Mr. Travis, I’m really sorry. Thank you for taking care of Ms. Reed these past few days, but you won’t need to do it in the future.”
Paul’s expression changed. “Was it really you who went to Megan’s tent last night?”
“So?”
“What did you do?”
“As I said, it’s between Megan and me. It’s none of your business.”
Leo glanced at him coldly, then took a step forward, grabbed Megan, and strode to the parking lot.
His strength was astonishing. She felt a sharp pain in her wrist and struggled desperately. “Let go of me first. If other employees see…”
“I don’t care. Who dares to say it out loud?”
Get Bots
Megan said angrily, “Yes, they’re afraid of losing their jobs, so they don’t dare to say anything about you. But they’ll judge me!”
“What will they say about you?”
“You are the boss, and I am the secretary. You are a man, and I am a woman. You have money and power, and I have an ambition for work. What do you
think they will say?”
Leo said coldly, “I’ll ask them to shut up. No one will say anything about you.”
“Even though they don’t say anything, they would have things against me in their heart.” Megan said, ” Mr. Mayor, the moral standards of men and
women in this world are different. If there are several women around you,
people would only think that you are handsome, rich, and charming, but I am
different. Everyone knows that I am now with Mr. Travis. If there are rumors
about me with you, what do you think they would say about me?”
Megan struggled more intensely. Leo looked at her coldly and thought for a
few seconds.
She thought that his attitude had loosened and tried her best to push him away. “Let go of me!”
Yet instead of letting go of her, Leo pulled her into his arms forcefully. He wrapped his arms around her waist and dragged her to the parking lot, then he opened the door and stuffed her into the passenger seat.
“What are you doing?!”
“Didn’t you say that you didn’t want others to see you? Don’t worry, I carried
you. No one will see your face.” With a gloomy face, he got into the car and
started it.
“Aren’t you going to take Ms. Vance?”
Leo ignored her and made a phone call. ” Mr. Mills, arrange for a male employee who can drive to the camp and send Sasha back to the city. I’ll wait
for them in the hospital.”
After hanging up the phone, he threw it aside. He quickly started the car, and the sports car soon left the campsite behind like an arrow leaving the
bowstring.
The trees on both sides of the road retreated quickly. Megan leaned weakly
against the back of the chair and tilted her head to look out of the window. She pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.
There was an awkward silence in the car.
Leo tilted his head and glanced at her. “Are you still feeling unwell?”
She closed her eyes and shook her head.
“Liar, your face is as pale as a ghost. Do you think I’m blind?”
“Since you’re not blind, why are you asking me?”
