Just after finishing a piece, Hunter pushed the modified file over.
He had already marked that point.
Lena reached out to take it, but her fingertips accidentally brushed against his. The file suddenly fell onto the desk with a "snap" sound.
She was somewhat surprised, but Hunter had already lowered his head, holding a pen and not knowing what to write.
Lena thought he was busy, so she picked up the documents on the table.
"Mr. Reid, I went out."
"Um."
When he was about to leave the office, he suddenly spoke up.
"There was a social gathering at 7 o'clock in the evening."
Lena quickly understood his intention and said, "Okay, I will go with you."
She closed the office door and sat back at her own desk.
I thought I could get through the day peacefully, but just before the end of work, Hayden showed up again.
His expression was haggard, and he stood silently next to her workstation for a while before ho
What she didn't know was that when she saw her hurriedly leaving the coffee shop to chase after Hunter, Hayden's face had already turned completely dark.I looked at her deeply, without taking my eyes off her for a moment.Randy, who was sitting across from me, was startled by this look and immediately spoke up."Hayden, what happened to you?"After saying this, he also turned around and looked towards the place where Lena had disappeared, feeling very puzzled."But Lena was also acting strange, why would she take the initiative to get close to Hunter? I remember she used to say that she hated Hunter the most, and besides, doesn't Hunter have a child?"Upon hearing this, Hayden's face was filled with astonishment. "Who told you?"Randy grabbed his own hair and said, "Lena said it herself."Lena said it herself?How is it possible? When was it said?Randy continued to speak, "It's strange, Lena has actively approac
The subtle atmosphere continued until the hotel.After she got off the car, she quickly went to push the wheelchair attentively, unexpectedly encountering Dave at the hotel entrance.Dave also came here for a social event today. When he saw her, his footsteps halted, and he called out, "Lena?"Lena's forehead furrowed as she could see the Dawson family everywhere she went.She didn't want to bother, but she saw Dave walking over.Dave has also aged a bit this year, but surprisingly, he was not humble in front of Hunter, just too polite in attitude."Mr. Reid, long time no see."Hunter glanced at him and made a sound of "hmm".Dave patted Lena's arm, sounding pleased.Knowing that Lena worked at the Reid Group, I felt relieved. Mr. Reid was a very cultured person and would not hold someone's past against them. Everything was based on ability. With Lena in your hands, there will definitely be great progress. Thank you in a
Until the social event ended, she took the lead this time and stood directly behind Hunter."Mr. Reid, I had something to ask you."After shaking hands, the business partners left politely, saying they were going outside to wait.James was somewhat dissatisfied, but he also rarely cooperated, and soon there were only two people left in the private room, Lena and Hunter.Lena couldn't hold it in any longer."Mr. Reid, if I really did something to hurt you in the past, please don't hold it against me. My cheap dad was right, you have a big heart, and I definitely didn't understand back then."Hunter's fingertips twirled the cup in his hand, and he remained silent.Lena quickly grabbed an empty wine glass from the side and poured wine into the glasses of both people."I first punished myself with three cups."The recent gossip completely unsettled her. If she had really slapped Hunter before, then he must have a very good t
Lena looked at Hunter from across the room."Mr. Reid, I really didn't mean to, after drinking three glasses of alcohol, my mind suddenly became blank."Hunter was already sitting in a wheelchair at the moment, with his back turned to her, and still didn't say anything.Lena was so anxious that her face turned red, but she saw James had already turned around and was about to push Hunter away."Mr. Reid."Hunter finally looked up, he had already tidied his clothes, but there was a calmness in his eyes, "I know you didn't mean it."Lena nodded her head as if she were crushing garlic, but how did she suddenly feel that his face had become even darker?She stood still and didn't move, only able to watch as Hunter was pushed away.The partners also left one after another.The private room, which was just lively moments ago, suddenly became silent.Lena sat down on the chair, feeling the aftereffects of the alcohol surg
Lena was really tired at the moment, feeling drowsy from the effects of alcohol, to the point where she could barely make out Joanna's words.The car stopped at the place where she lived.Joanna helped her out of the car and walked a few steps before she saw Hayden waiting outside the community.There were cigarette butts scattered around Hayden's feet. He knew Joanna, but they were not very familiar with each other.Joanna obediently called out, "Mr. Hayden."Hayden saw Lena, who was drunk, and furrowed his brow. "Is she drunk?""Um."He immediately threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and walked quickly towards."I helped her back, you can leave now."Joanna opened her mouth and obediently handed Lena over.Watching Hayden help Lena walk away, she took out her phone and snapped a picture, then posted it on Instagram.Round and round, the people who are meant to be together will eventually be together
He couldn't find any surveillance cameras in the hotel, so he had to go back first.There have been many recent events in his family. First of all, his mother Helen has been constantly going to the old house to file complaints, which has made his grandfather very impatient.Father has also not been coming home recently because of the affair.Hayden sat dejectedly in the car, smoking several cigarettes before driving it back home.As soon as he entered the house, he heard Helen on the phone, and it was clear that she was calling her sister Stella, and she was cursing loudly."Stella, you can forget it! Do you think that just because you slept with him, he would care about you? Let me tell you, he told me that you are nothing but a dead pig, without any pleasure at all! I don't have a sister like you, and from now on, we are at odds!"Stella didn't know what was said over there, and Helen got so angry that she threw everything on the coffee ta
Lillian's eyes welled up with tears as she was pinched, her lips curled slightly, and she went over the timeline again.Hayden released her wrist and smiled, "It's okay, you can go now."Lillian looked at the mark on her fair wrist, her eyes turning red from the pain."Bro, what's up with you tonight? You were acting all weird, I don't want to hang out with you anymore."She got so angry that she went downstairs directly.After Hayden returned to his room, he immediately made a phone call to one of the business partners who had participated in the social event.After the business partner finished the meeting, they went back home and fell asleep. When they received a phone call, they were still a bit groggy."It was Mr. Hayden.""Um, it's me. I have something to ask you. Lena had dinner with you guys tonight, and Hunter was there too. Can you tell me when it ended?"The collaborator recalled, "It was around seven o'clock
There were other people in the private room, and coincidentally, they happened to be Zander and Jordan.Zander was busier than Hunter, and on top of that, the Farley family was currently unstable, so they rarely went out for meals together.The only ones who could call him out were just a few people in their small circle.Hayden paid no attention to anyone else and stared straight at Hunter.Hunter looked up, unsure if he had been seen.His anger surged up in an instant, and he strode closer."Hunter, I had something to ask you."Hunter raised an eyebrow slightly, his face still devoid of expression.Hayden looked at Jordan and Zander, "Could you two please step outside for a moment?"Jordan and Zander exchanged a glance, just about to make a sarcastic remark when they caught Hunter's gaze.Jordan grabbed Zander and said, "Let's go."Zander didn't say anything, and he has been in a very bad mood lately.
Kianna's lips were trembling, her eyes were turning red, and the words she spoke were slightly broken."You made my boyfriend get exiled by Jordan, and you ruined his whole life. I never expected that the owner of this number would be you, which means that all of this was planned by you! Lena, I hate you so much!"Her eyes were filled with hatred, but she reluctantly stepped back in fear of the dagger in Lena's hand.Lena squatted on the ground, looking into her eyes, "Did you really not contact Lillian?"Kianna's face changed, how could she not have contacted Lillian.Lena wanted to ask a few more questions, but she faintly saw a person standing below the small building, as if they had just come out.It was Mr. H.She quickly got up, and at the same time threw the dagger back into the car, and instructed Jovanni."You keep an eye on her, I'll go talk to Mr. H."Jovanni also noticed the man standing several meters away.
Lena squinted her eyes and curved her lips, "So, Owen, did you know?"Since Jovanni was following her, he should have been familiar with her recent whereabouts.He indeed pursed his lips and said, "I know.""Was it him who arranged the person I had to deal with tonight?""No, it was Kianna."Lena lowered her eyelashes and said, "Kianna, that was easy to deal with."She took out her phone and sent Kianna a few strongly emotional text messages using the previous number. Kianna indeed agreed to meet up.Lena couldn't help but laugh. With a mind like that, if it weren't for her last name being Wright, she would have probably been eaten up and left with nothing but crumbs.She was about to drive away when Jovanni instantly caught up, "Why are you going alone?""I went to meet Kianna to see why she had this inexplicable hatred towards me, and I wanted to find out if Lillian had anything to do with it."Jovanni opened th
Jovanni opened the car door and sat inside. Because the weather was too cold, the breath he exhaled was all white. He lowered his eyelashes, not knowing what he was thinking.Lena sat in the driver's seat, but she didn't start the car right away.She had felt several times recently that someone was following her, but she didn't know if it was just her imagination.She leaned back and adjusted the temperature of the air conditioning in the car. "Where is your brother Gael? Why did you come out alone?"And in the middle of the night, he even followed her. What on earth was going on?Jovanni looked out of the window, and in his mind, he recalled the scene of being kidnapped that day.The man, of course, didn't actually kill him and Gael, but Gael was detained.Gael has always been the calmest one, while Jovanni is different, he had a more volatile temper and has always been very outspoken.Although they were not blood brothers, he
Lena had been staying in the hospital until evening. She hadn't been sleeping well recently and couldn't resist lying down by the bed and fell asleep like that.Three hours later, she was awakened by the doctor."Ms. Dawson, you go back and rest first. Don't wait until your brother wakes up and you collapse."Lena's eyelids had dark circles, and she rubbed her eyes upon hearing the words."Did his high fever not go down?"The doctor sighed and said, "Considering his own fate, perhaps there are some things he himself cannot understand, which is why he is like this. As family members, you can talk to him more."But she had no idea what Randy's knot was.She got up and, after returning home, was extremely tired and fell asleep right away.But in the middle of the night, she always felt like she heard a sound outside the window.She got up, turned on the nearby light, and saw a strange man leaning on her house window, holdin
When Lena woke up, it was midnight and she felt like there was a furnace beside her.She quickly got up and reached out to Randy's forehead to check, and he was running a fever!"Randy!"She shouted, but he didn't respond. He had already burnt it to a crisp.Lena quickly dialed the local emergency hotline.But she had to arrive at daybreak, so she continued to add firewood to the bonfire and moved Randy closer.But even in this state, he resisted.He was curled up in a daze, and woke up once in the middle, seeing her probing his forehead, unable to help but ask, "Who are you, after all?"If he hadn't been sick, Lena would have slapped him.She forced herself to calm down and then tore off a piece of fabric to wrap some ice and snow from outside, placing it on his forehead to cool him down.Randy's face was completely red, and his hands were reaching out haphazardly to the side, as if he was trying to touch somethi
As she approached, she fiercely slapped him.Randy's clothes were still hanging nearby, and there were many bruises on his body, indicating that the car accident had injured him, but not to the extent of being life-threatening.His face was intact, but now it swelled up instantly after being slapped, indicating that Lena showed no mercy in her attack.Lena was so angry that she grabbed his thin clothes and pulled him closer."You came all the way to this place to find you, who are you giving a bad attitude to? Speak up! What's the matter after all?"Randy turned his head away and silently stared at a certain spot on the cave wall, tears streaming down "drip, drip".Lena knew her little brother Randy well. If Randy had been wronged, he would have wanted to grab a megaphone and shout in front of her, demanding that she focus more of her energy on him. For example, if he had been humiliated by Mr. H, he would not hesitate to ask her to break up
Lena was not going to let him have his way at this critical moment. She pushed him away and straightened her clothes."I left first."He did not try to stop her either, sitting in place and nodding very obediently.Lena's preferences for men were sometimes strange. She didn't believe that men necessarily had to be strong and powerful, like Mr. H. It was also not a bad thing for him to need her protection.She left and drove away, with her destination set to her hometown on the navigation.It took a long time to drive, and in the meantime, she ate two cookies to satisfy her hunger before arriving.She went to Dashawn's house first, and he was in the yard digging herbs. When he saw her coming, there was a moment of surprise in his eyes, and then he realized."Are you Lena?"Lena was a bit unclear about this location. If she hadn't asked along the way, she wouldn't have been able to find it at all.She nodded politely and s
She quickly turned around and walked towards the house.To my surprise, Mr. H had been standing obediently at the entrance, without moving at all. It seemed that he was unaware of the death outside.She took a deep breath and held his face in her hands, comforting him, "Something happened outside, don't go out for now. Is your doctor friend, the one from Wraith Manor?"Mr. H's eyelashes trembled, and his cheek unconsciously rubbed against her palm, showing some attachment. "Hmm.""You called him over, I needed him to help me with something."Since it was Wraith Manor, they should have been proficient in dealing with dead people.Mr. H immediately made a phone call and asked the other party to come over."Lena, why do I feel a smell of blood?"Lena pulled him and sat on the sofa in the hall in the dark. "I accidentally scratched my arm just now, but it's okay."Mr. H remained silent, slowly caressing her fingertips, his t
She stepped on the accelerator, never having driven at such a high speed before.After rushing to the small western-style building outside Mr. H's, she quickly got out of the car and ran towards the inside.The people in those cars probably didn't expect her to stop here, but they also stopped, their faces filled with excitement. This was all Lena's doing. Tonight, she was going to be killed in this place, fulfilling her employer's mission.Lena arrived at the door and entered directly using the password.As soon as she stood still, she was embraced by someone."Mr. H?""Hmm."She raised her hand and patted his back, "Do you have any handy weapons here?""Yes, I had obtained two guns from Wraith Manor earlier, but it was too dangerous, so I never used them."Wraith Manor, a place located in a lawless area, was common to have access to guns.What Lena needs the most right now is this."Okay, you gave me the
