Chapter 279


    Chapter 279 Tina was so surprised that she instinctively ripped her wrist out of Samuel‘s grasp and


    retreated a few steps backward. “M–Mr. Langford, what‘s wrong? Did I do something wrong?” she asked


    in a frightened tone. The sight of Tina looking so terrified allowed Samuel to gradually calm down. He did


    see her real face and investigated her background...


    It was all that d*mned woman‘s fault! Not only did she betray his trust, but it was also thanks to her that


    he became an insomniac. Now, he was reduced to a paranoid shell of a man. Samuel rubbed his sore


    forehead in irritation before saying coldly, “It‘s nothing. I‘m not used to a stranger touching me, that‘s all.


    Keep going.” However, Tina hesitated to act. She continued asking fearfully, “Are you sure?”


    When Samuel noticed just how frightened she looked, he realized his sudden change in attitude had


    scared her. “Yes. I‘m fine,” he replied. “I was spacing out earlier and ended up thinking about a woman


    who should‘ve died a long time ago.” His response drilled even more fear into Tina’s heart. · A woman


    who should‘ve died a long time ago? That would be her, right? However, she didn‘t dare to reveal her


    inner fear. All she could do was take a deep breath before approaching Samuel once again. Now, she


    acted more carefully than before. After measuring his neck, she went ahead and took his chest and hip


    measurements...


    Tina worked carefully and slowly, not daring to touch Samuel at all. It was as if he was a ticking time


    bomb in her eyes. Finally, she was done taking all the measurements. Tina let out a sigh of relief before


    saying, “All the measurements have been taken now, so I‘ll be taking my leave, Mr. Langford.” Before he


    could answer her, she hunched over and left the study immediately like she was running away from him.


    She felt as if she had just sessfully escaped from a demon‘sir.

    “Whew! Luckily, I escaped just in time! That was so scary!”


    Upon returning to her room, Tina locked the door behind her and leaned against it while patting her chest


    to soothe herself. “Did youmit a crime? Why do you look so scared?”. Suddenly, a child–like voice


    drifted from a corner of the room. The sight of Keith‘s face almost gave Tina a heart attack.


    “Keith? Why are you in my room?!” she shrieked. “Can‘t I be here?” The boy frowned immediately. He


    continued coldly, “This is my house, so your room is also a part of my territory.” “You...” Tina was so


    angry that she shook. Then again, she couldn‘t bring herself to argue with a five–year–old, especially


    when he was still very ill. “Go back to your room and rest there,” she said. “Aren‘t you handing over the


    designs to Samuel tomorrow? His measurements aren‘t the only data that you need. You‘ll have to take


    my measurements as well, right?” Keith continued speaking with the same frown. “I came here to find


    you on my own just so you wouldn‘t have to make an extra trip to my room in order to do your work. I


    didn‘t expect you to chase me out of your room.”


    Tina didn‘t know what to say. ;


    When it came to Samuel and Keith, she could never find the right thing to say.


    “You‘re right. Thank you foring here on your own. Stand up straight, now. I‘ll start taking your


    measurements.”


    Compared to the tough time Tina had while taking Samuel‘s measurements in his study, the process of


    taking Keith‘s measurements was obviously shorter than easier. “Alright, I‘m done taking your


    measurements. Tomorrow, I‘ll present you with a design that will make you look like a handsome young


    prince. No one else can outshine you in the banquet for sure!” Tina said.


    Keith rolled his eyes beforementing snidely, “I’m the heir of the Langford Group. If anything happens


    to Samuel in the future, I‘ll be the new head of thepany. I don‘t want to look like a prince! That‘s so


    childish!” Tina didn‘t know what to say. ‘Heh... I guess I‘m too na?ve and stupid to think that he‘ll like that


    idea...‘


    She could onlyugh dryly, already feeling the atmosphere bing awkward. Keith had sessfully


    inherited Samuel‘s cold blooded trait and ruthlessness. Like father, like


    son.


    He was only five years old, yet he was already hoping that his father would die so that he could be


    the next head of thepany. “Does Samuel know about your personality?” Tina couldn‘t help but ask.
