Between Love and Scandal 30. Sneaking
The night was falling. The sky was reddened with darkness, and the clouds were hanging as if they were about to rain down on the earth. The fan sounded even louder in a room that was just a little smaller. But that didn't stop Laura from falling asleep in her dreams.Her body felt so tired after a long day of avoiding the pursuit of big men. Her eyes were so sleepy that she could not keep them open.During her exhaustion, she dreamed that the men had captured her and taken her to a dark torture chamber. There, she was tied to a chair with a rope, and the men began to surround and abuse her.Laura screamed that night, broke out in a cold sweat, and was very frightened. Soon, Laura woke up. Her mother, who had helped her, was hugging her."Did you have a nightmare, child?""Yes, Mom.""Be patient, child."The kind, fairy-like mother took a glass and filled it with water. A moment later, she handed it to Laura."Drink first, child. Tell me about your dream and what you're afraid of."Lau
Between Love and Scandal 31. Compulsion
The atmosphere of The Plaza was becoming increasingly crowded with shoppers, most of whom were Laura. The sounds of people haggling over prices, the mix of pop music, and the voices of several vendors passing by and offering their wares made the place even more crowded.Three men who hadn't finished their glass of iced tea were forced to chase after the girl wearing a green shirt and black and white striped pants. They left the iced tea with the vendor and resumed their pursuit.Realizing she was being chased, Laura immediately sought a safe hiding place. She finally found a hidden wall that the clothing vendors used to come and go. From there, Laura could walk slowly toward the exit to escape.Sure enough, as soon as a man was lifting heavy objects, Laura hid behind him and walked with him, unseen by Mr. Ben's team. Laura made it safely to the exit.However, her body immediately froze, and her eyes bulged slightly when she realized someone in the car was looking at her. They were now
Between Love and Scandal 32. Surrender
So here Laura was in an air-conditioned room with a flat-screen TV on the wall and a soft bed where she had slept for the past two nights.But even though she had been there for two nights, she did not feel at peace. She kept hearing Ms Zhang Laren's words about turning herself in to the authorities, but Laura still couldn't accept it.Every time she thought about it, she was overwhelmed with indecision and anxiety. She took a deep breath, then tried to steady herself. Massaging her temples, she said, "It's going to be okay, Laura. It's going to be okay."Laura rose from her sleep. She wanted to report to the police. But just as she was about to make the call, doubt came over her again. After thinking for a while, Laura called an online motorcycle taxi to take her to the police station.On the way, Laura mostly daydreamed and thought about the possibilities. She felt terrible, but she tried to force herself.It took only fifteen minutes for Laura to arrive at the police station. She s
Between Love and Scandal 33. A Kiss
"It's done, sir! We have a report that Laura has turned herself into the police," Mr Ben told Mark on his cell phone.He preferred to communicate with Mark because he could discuss things with him. Not Lucas, who could only give orders without understanding the difficulties and challenges his men were facing."Very good, Mr. Ben. You and your team should go home and get some rest. Everything is clear. We're just pressing Mr. Mrs. Leigner now." Mark gave his order.The call was then disconnected. Instead, Mark sent a short message to Lucas, informing him of the latest developments in Laura's arrest.Aileen, who had been watching Mark's movements, was pleased."So that leaves a couple who look like accomplices, huh?" she asked.At home, they were busy preparing dinner. Aileen and Mark cooked together to maintain harmony between the host and guests.Aileen thought earlier that it's a shame they're already out shopping for ingredients. But she wanted to be alone with Mark. She had the fee
Between Love and Scandal 34. Revealed
Aileen's heart still pounded as she entered the room and fell onto the bed. Truly, she cursed her stupidity, and she almost wanted to be kissed by Mark just like that! Ish!Where was her logic? Where was her pride? Why did she seem to welcome it instead of refusing before? Shit! Aileen continued to curse herself.True, the kiss was cut off. But the incident was enough to embarrass her."What's wrong with Mark coming over and trying to rub it in? You pervert!" she cursed over and over.She fell asleep that night without realizing it. And in her dreams, Aileen felt like someone was chasing her. She was the one who had been chasing the company's criminals for the past few days. Absurd indeed.The next morning, she was embarrassed again when Mark knocked on her door and woke Aileen, who had overslept. Oh dear! How embarrassing!"Yeah, just a minute, I'm in the bathroom!" Aileen replied casually. If only Mark had heard her voice, he would have known that Aileen was still in bed and had jus
Between Love and Scandal 35. Normalization
They arrived at the office as the clock struck nine. The other employees were still coming in and working as usual, except for Mark and Aileen, who were supposed to be off.Mark was looking for evidence from account flow data documents from sabotaged orders that were well kept in a secret drawer in Mr William's private room. Mark got it easily because William had told him where he kept the key and also where the document was.Aileen left him to check his office. She needed to sign off on some files piled up on her desk since she hadn't worked in a few days.Diana, the assistant, immediately reported to her on the urgent matters she had dealt with. She also noted what had happened in the office during Aileen's absence."I'm done with my business too, Di. We'll be back at work soon as usual!" Aileen said, to which Diana replied with a happy look."Everything's sorted out thanks to Mark," she added.Aileen accepted all the news with joy. There had been no other bad news in the meantime.
Between Love and Scandal 36. Ready To Be Apart?
In the dictionary of life, Aileen understood the meaning of risk. You choose to live, and you accept the risks of life itself. It was the same with the laws of nature. Every encounter has a separation. Whether you are ready or not, whether you like it or not, you will still face it, and you will be forced to always be ready.For Aileen, her meeting with Mark had an interesting history. They always fight over trivial things but can be united at any given time.Mark is a man with a character that is very difficult to read. He had thousands of secrets in every sentence that came out. He had thousands of stories that Aileen couldn't dig up as long as she knew him.Quiet? He's not quiet; he just prefers to talk about things he thinks are worth talking about, and for Aileen, that's a good thing. Mysterious? Aileen admitted that there were many things about the man that could not be guessed because his every move could never be read, and every wave of ideas that came out of his head could ne
