Chapter 949 Enemies


    Sean didn''t know the woman in front of him.


    He just had the impression that she was young, careless, and quite naive. However, the


    experienced hunter always preferred to act like a prey. Perhaps this woman was just acting stupid.


    He needed to be more cautious.


    "What are you thinking about? Why are you distracted?" Este was confused. Why did Brandon''s


    personal assistant appear so clueless?

    "I''m sorry. I cannot answer any of your questions. Please leave," Sean said in a cold tone and


    turned around to leave.


    Este, on the other hand, was heartless and shameless. She ran after Sean, and when she caught


    up with him, she pulled a few bills from her bag. "I know what you mean," she said as she put the


    money in Sean''s suit''s pocket. "I just want to ask you a few questions."


    Sean took the money out of his pocket and discovered it was only two dors.


    Sean was shocked. Did she think that he was asking for money in exchange for a favor?


    He handed back the money to Este. "Miss, something big has happened in the Larson Group. No


    one is allowed toe in now," he said firmly. If you''re notplying with my request, I''ll have to


    ask the security guards to kick you out."


    Este snorted as she held the bills in her hand. She didn''t expect Sean to be this stubborn. "But I


    am not an outsider. I am J''s friend," she said emphatically. "Why don''t you go to Brandon''s


    office and confirm this with J."


    Sean coughed awkwardly. "I can''t do that now," he said, thinking Brandon and J might be doing


    something intimate.


    Este looked at him, and then said, "I''ll go in by myself."


    "Look, it''s not convenient for Mr. and Mrs. Larson to see you right now," Sean told Est, who


    seemed confused by his vague admonishing. He had to stop her or he would be chastised for not


    doing so.


    "You''re so ridiculous," Este said in an exasperated tone. She couldn''t think of a reason why Sean


    was being obtuse. "Can''t I go in by myself? It looks like you''re just making things difficult for me."


    Sean felt helpless. How could someone be so dim? "Okay, you can go see them but you''ll have to


    wait in the hall for a moment," he let out a sigh and continued. "Since you seem not to understand


    me, I won''t say anything more."


    "I''m going in," Este said, putting her foot down.


    While they were fighting and pulling at each other, Sean identally touched Este''s wounded


    arm. The white gauze on her wound began to stain with bright red blood.


    "Oh my God, it hurts!" eximed Este as she lowered herself to a squatting position. "How can


    you be so brazen? Just because you can''t stop me, you don''t have to sneakily hurt me."


    Sean looked at the wound on her arm and seemed to remember something.


    "Are you Este?" he asked. "Were you the one injured for saving Mrs. Larson?" He thought of the


    woman who cried out in pain in the infirmary earlier.


    "You finally remember it," Este eximed. She had expected her heroic action and stunning face


    to impress others.


    "I''m so sorry," Sean said, his voice filled with remorse. He helped Est get up. "You must be good


    friends if you fought for Mrs. Larson the way


    you did." "I''ve told you that we are good friends," Este sobbed as she wiped away her tears. "But


    you wouldn''t believe me."


    "Everything was chaotic and I couldn''t tell who was there," Sean apologized. He didn''t know what to


    do when he saw Este''s tearful face, so he took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to her.


    Este hesitated at first. Nheless, she took the tissue and began wiping the tears from her


    eyes.


    At this point, the security guard at the door rushed up to Est. "Miss Lopez, you left so quickly. Is


    this yourptop? You must have forgotten it when your wound was being treated in the infirmary."


    Este thanked the security guard and took theptop.


    Este was attempting to save J, as evidenced by the security guard''s words. Sean felt even


    more distressed. "Please ept my apologies; I''ll take you downstairs to change the gauze."


    Este simply wanted to ask about Brandon. She thought there might be a chance when she saw


    Sean''s guilty expression.


    In reality, Este''s wound was not hurting too badly. She was just pretending it did so that Sean


    would make her stay.


    "It''s okay," Este said, smiling and waving her hand. "I can take it. And now, I''m so hungry. Why


    don''t you invite me to dinner?" This would be her chance to get more information from him.


    But Sean saw through her little ruse.


    "I have other matters to deal with," Sean declined her invitation. "Maybe I can call someone else to


    go with you."


    "Forget it. I''d better ask J to apany me. I don''t know who will get hurt this time if Brandon


    gets angry."


    Este sighed and picked up her phone to call J.
