The Heart Left Behind (Cole and Yvonne) novel Chapter 118

Lorraine unbuckled her seatbelt, thinking of getting out of the car.

"Lorraine." I held her wrist and said a little helplessly, "Aren't we friends?" I didn't like it when she distanced herself from me.

"I-I'm in a little trouble."

"Tell me." I looked away so that she could relax a little. From the corners of my eyes, I noticed Lorraine taking a deep breath as if she was mentally preparing herself.

How adorable. I could not help but smile.

She said, "I was fired." Lorraine told the truth without any embarrassment.

"For no reason?"

What kind of company would do that?

I looked at how she was a little hesitant and would not look at me. I immediately understood the reason.

"Was it because of me? Because of those rumors?" I was previously worried that this would affect her. I never thought that it really would.

"It's not your fault. My capabilities are—"

"You're more than capable," I knew what she was about to say and interrupted her. "Since you're no longer working there… Murphy, pass me the document."

I accepted the document from Murphy and said to Lorraine, "Why don't you consider my company?"

"Y-Your company?" Lorraine asked in surprise.

Langley Group was involved in a wide range of industries. Although I didn't have many designers in the company, every single designer was the cream of the crop. Lorraine was in this industry, so she had to know the capabilities of Langley Group.

I look at her flipping through the document, the knot in her brows slowly loosening.

I asked, "Why don't you think about it?"

"W-Won't I be taking advantage of you by joining the company in this way?"

I was worried that she wouldn't accept it, so I said, "No. We'll go according to the usual interview and hiring procedure."

Lorraine finally smiled. "Alright. I'll give it a try."

She had a sweet smile that could easily elicit a man's desire to protect her.
