The cop stood up and said, “Actually, I’ve already finished recording her statement. It’s just that she kept on insisting that we arrest her boss…”
Joshua smiled at him. “Thank you so much, officer.” Then, he lowered his face to glance at Irene. “Ms. Cook, shall we go now?”
Irene was already excited by the fact that Joshua Lynch, the richest man in Banyan City, wanted to send her home, but with him directly talking to her, she felt as though she was on cloud nine.
She stood up somewhat dazedly and replied, “Okay…”
Because she had been so badly beaten up, coupled with her excitement, Irene almost fell as soon as she stood up.
Joshua immediately grabbed hold of her. “Be careful.”
Irene was so overjoyed by his reaction that her entire body felt light as if she was about to float off like a balloon at any minute.
Was this a dream? Why else would Joshua Lynch treat her so kindly all of a sudden!
Joshua dragged her out of the police station. Irene was so overcome by delight that she did not resist and got into his black Maserati parked outside.
“Mr. Lynch, I’ve never had the chance to sit in such an expensive car.” Irene leaned against the backseat and looked at Joshua, grinning from ear to ear. “ Thank you for spoiling me like this.“
Then, she looked down to glance at the time. “It’s already 11 p.m. now… You came to take me home at this hour… Why don’t we go to a nearby hotel instead?“
Lucas, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, almost spat out his water when he heard that.
This woman…
Mr. Lynch merely came to bail her out and take her home out of kindness. What was she thinking?
How could she even think Mr. Lynch was interested in her? How did she even have the audacity to suggest spending the night at a hotel together?
The atmosphere in the car fell silent.
