Chapter 370


    “Why? You’re my secretary, aren’t you? Are you nning to leech off me?”


    Samuel shot Tina a cold re.


    “Also, your services are quite decent. You’ll be in charge of my meals at thepany in the future.”


    The thought of returning to Samuel’s side stressed Tina out immensely.


    However, she knew that it was a bad idea to turn him down. Thus, she could only grit her teeth and ask,


    “You didn’t bother drinking the coffee that I brewed in the past, Mr. Langford. What made you decide that


    I’m the best person to be in charge of your mealtimes?”


    Samuel.lifted an eyebrow upon hearing her question.


    Why did she still remember that petty slight? “Are youining to me?” His tone might sound casual


    andzy, but Tina’s heart couldn’t help but skip a beat at the sound of it. She could sense a trace of


    danger in that tone. She quickly replied, “You’re misunderstanding me, Mr. Langford. I didn’t mean it like


    that. I just thought that you’re cing too much trust in me…”


    The sight of her trying to exin herself made Samuel’s expression darken even more.


    “That’s true. At least you know your ce. Women like you aren’t trustworthy at all.”


    Samuel rose to his feet immediately, the tes and cutlery ttering loudly during the process. He


    looked so terrifying that all the servants quickly bowed their heads out of fright.


    The man resembled a ferocious lion. Even after leaving the dining hall in wide strides, everyone was still


    intimidated by his frightening appearance.


    All Tina felt was a strong sense of frustration. Nothing would’ve happened if only she was a mute.


    No matter how much she tried to exin herself, Samuel would never listen to her. Also, he would never


    believe in her words.


    Every time she said something, even a bit, he would lose his temper. Tina stood up silently and started


    clearing the table. Upon hearing the tes and bowls clinking against each other, the servants finally


    snapped out of their trance. “Miss Lynd, we’re responsible for cleaning up. Please put down the tes.”


    Tina replied, “It’s alright. I can help you guys with the clean-up.”


    “There’s no need for that. You’re Mr. Langford’s… uh, secretary right now. It’s not within your job scope.”


    Tina could detect a trace of hesitance from the servant’s tone.


    Legally speaking, she was Samuel’s secretary. But in reality, what exactly did her job scope


    epass?


    She was just a mere tool for him to vent out his sexual frustrations. Now that Samuel had flown into a fit


    of rage, everyone hoped for her to appease him and calm him down. However, Tina was no fool, How


    could she expose herself to more of Samuel’s fits of rage at a time like this?


    Instead of exposing the servant’s true intention, she simply opened her mouth to rebuke.


    “Mr. Langford mentioned that I’m supposed to resume work at thepany tomorrow by taking care of


    his meals. It’s not wrong for me to practice in advance, right?”


    The servant didn’t dare toment anything after that. Tina dilly-dallied in the kitchen till nightfall. It was


    already bedtime, and yet Samuel had no intention of summoning her to his bedroom.


    It seemed like she was able to escape from sleeping with him when he was furious with her. At that


    moment, a servant knocked on the kitchen door and said, “Miss Lynd, Mr. Langford has summoned you


    to the study.”

    Her heart sinking rapidly, Tina had no choice but to wash her hands before heading toward the study


    together with the servant.


    The lights in the study were on. Samuel was seen d in a loose shirt as he went through piles of


    documents. He didn’t even bother lifting his head when Tina came in.


    She stood in front of him till her legs were sore and wobbly. If it wasn’t for Samuel’s unspoken rule of


    barring anyone from entering his study without his permission, she would’ve thought that the servant


    intended to pull a prank on her earlier. Tina couldn’t help but open her mouth to say something. “Mr.


    Langford, it’s already thiste. Do you want to rest for the night…” “Get out,” Samuel replied coldly.


    Needless to say, Tina was confused. Just as she was about to leave the study, she added another


    hesitant question. “T-Then… May I go to bed?”


    Samuel’s one-worded response was packed with more rage than before.


    “Leave!”


    Feeling her frustration spilling over the edge at Samuel’s mood swings, Tina was about to rush back to


    her room when one of his subordinates stopped her hastily. “To be honest, Miss Lynd, that wasn’t what


    Mr. Langford meant…”
