Chapter 232


    Samuel’s silence meant Cindy still had a chance to win him over. ted, Cindy continued the


    conversation with the honorable guests at the banquet. Suddenly, Samuel said curtly, “I’m heading out to


    clear my head.” Without waiting, he headed in the direction of that woman who had left in a hurry just


    now. Cindy wouldn’t dare to trail from behind. Thus, she continued talking to the guests about the current


    news in high society. In the meantime, Tina had run off to the hotel’s backyard.


    Only when she realized she had left the banquet and out of Samuel’s sight did she stop running


    Ring… Ring… Her phone rang. Tina looked at the screen and realized that it was a call from Tiffany.


    Tiffany sounded worried. “Miss Linda, what’s going on with you?”


    “I’m so sorry. I had a terrible stomachache just now, so I couldn’t tell you what was going on,” Tina said


    apologetically.


    “Oh, alright then. That’spletely understandable.” Tiffany didn’t press on as she changed into another


    topic. “Anyway, did you see that man just now? I heard his name is Samuel Langford, and he’s from


    Freesia. He’s a CEO whose worth is around billions of dors!”


    “He’s so fricking handsome! It’s a shame he’s already married. I saw him with his wife just now. I guess I


    don’t stand a chance anymore. How disappointing!” Upon hearing Tiffany’s words, Tina couldn’t help but


    tighten her grip on her gown.


    Samuel’s wife was none other than Cindy Young! The thought of the couple sent frightened shivers down


    her spine. Right now, her only wish was to live afortable life with her child. If those two found out


    that she was still alive, everything she had built so far would shatter into pieces! “Hello? Miss Linda, are


    you listening to me?” Tiffany asked. “Yes, I’m listening.”


    “When are you heading back to the banquet? The socialites heard that your design made it to the


    renowned fashion magazine in Paris! Right now, they all want to talk to you about their ideas with you.


    They’re all potential customers!”


    But Tina would never dare to return. She gave another excuse, “I’m sorry, I don’t think I can go back. I


    just realized that I had my period, and it stained my gown.” “Oh crap!” Tiffany said. “Do you want me to


    help you? I’ll have the hotel staff send over some


    essentials!” Tina rejected her offer instantly. “It’s alright. I n to leave by the back door.” Tiffany


    reminded Tina kindly, “Take care of yourself, okay? Our livelihood depends on you!” Tina felt warm


    inside. Even though Tiffany was a few years younger than her, the former still tried to look out for her


    whenever possible.


    Throughout Tina’s five years working in thepany, her colleagues had been working hard to achieve


    the same goal. Everyone looked after one another like how a family would.


    That was why Tina would never abandon her hard-earned job, if it wasn’t for extreme circumstances.


    After hanging up the phone, Tina was prepared to leave immediately. But just as she made a move, she


    spotted a tall figure nearby. It was Samuel Langford!


    ‘Why is he here? Has he found out about my identity?’ Tina thought in horror. Her mind instantly went


    nk as she took to her heels. All of a sudden, her heels broke and she let out a gasp. Terrified, she


    covered her mouth and muffled her voice. However, the sound of someone stepping on the twigs echoed


    from the bushes of the backyard, which caught Samuel’s attention


    Under the man’s eagle-like intuition, there was no escape for Tina. She shivered in the corner of the


    bushes as she watched Samuel slowly approaching her.


    Hopelessness filled her, and she closed her eyes in despair. There was no escape!This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
