Chapter 203


    Selena wondered if she could muster up enough courage when their next encounter came.


    Meanwhile, sitting on the flower bed in themunity area, Pierre was smoking. The cigarette


    glimmered in the dark, it’s embers lighting up his bewitching features.


    He was a coward. He admitted that he was scared. When he first met her, he was merely curious,


    but he ended up falling for her. He initially approached her in order to find out if she was a spy.


    However, it turned out that not only did he totally forget about the investigation, but his mind


    became obsessed with her. He knew it was terrifying to love someone. Having forbidden himself


    from falling in love, he ran away.


    On the other hand, Linda just coaxed Juniper to sleep when the screen of her phone lit up. Tip-


    toeing out of the room, she picked up the phone. “Yeah, Boss, it’s all settled. There aren’t any


    problems on my end, so I don’t think you need toe... Yes, I will.” After hanging up, she heaved


    a sigh of relief, a delighted smile tugging at her lips. Holding her phone close to her chest, her eyes


    curved into crescents.


    By the next day, Selena was already in the office when Linda brought Juniper along to thepany.


    She quickly approached Selena when Juniper went to the washroom. “How wasst night?


    President Yard, did you...” As she spoke, she motioned with her hands.


    Selena’s face turned a shade of scarlet. “What nonsense are you spouting?”


    “This isn’t nonsense at all! Since everything was dealt withst night, and you had me take care of


    Juniper for the night, it’s obvious that you were worried that her presence might hinder you from


    engaging in certain activities.” Linda even ced emphasis on the final two words while bumping


    her shoulder against Selena’s. “How are things? How did President Fowler perform? Did hest


    long? How many times did you do it?”


    Extending a hand, Selena whacked her on the head. “Kiddo, you sure have a lot of dirty thoughts in


    your mind!”


    Childishly, Lindatched onto her arm. “President Yard, just tell me about it! I have to sate my


    curiosity! President Fowler seems to be a great partner, isn’t he?”


    Rolling her eyes, Selena replied, “To be honest... nothing happened between usst night.” She


    supposed she didn’t need to hide anything from Linda, as she considered Linda not only as her


    assistant, but also her only other friend aside from Jude.

    Abruptly straightening her posture, Linda cried, “I don’t believe you! You must be lying!”


    “It’s true! Why would I lie to you? We did intend to do it, but something suddenly came up on his


    side, so it didn’t happen.” Selena seemed relieved. Noticing Linda’s silence, she turned around to


    check on her. “What’s wrong? You seem disappointed.”


    “Of course I am! I was expecting you two to... get it on! President Fowler’s performance is so


    underwhelming! It’s just like a ckout happens when you’re at the crux of a drama! This is so


    frustrating!”


    “Hahaha, why are you even getting frustrated?”


    “I… I’m frustrated for you, needless to say! Aren’t you feeling the same?”


    With that, the two women began to y-fight with each other.


    It didn’t take long for Selena to resume her serious attitude. “Alright, enough of this. We have more


    important things to do. Go investigate how Lake Corporation is doing. Finneas mighte back at


    us, so we shoulde up with a countermeasure.”


    “Yes, ma’am!” Linda quickly switched into work mode, but she seemed a little dejected when she


    turned around.


    Meanwhile, in the hospital.


    Meredith and Jezebelle were waiting outside the ICU. They weren’t allowed entry, so they couldn’t


    see how Megan was doing. All they could do was wait in the hospital so that they would receive


    news as soon as possible.
