Chapter 371


    Tina was unable to understand what the subordinate was trying to say. “Then what did he


    mean?”


    As the subordinate had been standing guard outside the study the entire time, he was able to witness


    her interactions with Samuel.


    He couldn’t help but wipe cold sweat off his brow as he shot a vignt nce in the study’s direction.


    Then, he lowered his voice and whispered cautiously, “Haven’t you realized that Mr. Langford actually


    cares about you?”


    The moment Tina heard the question, she had a feeling that the subordinate was there to cheer her up


    with that joke.


    “How’s that possible? I have eyes, you know! I’m not blind!”


    The subordinate was frightened by Tina’s bold response. He wanted to cover her mouth, but at the same


    time, he was afraid that he might offend her by doing so. Hence, he replied anxiously, “Please don’t say


    such things in front of Mr. Langford! Oh, heavens, Mr. Langford’s personality has always been like this!


    He tends to not spare people from humiliation…”


    “Of course I know that. What does any of that have to do with him caring about me?” Tina’s tone was


    awfully cold.


    The sight of her sudden apathy made the subordinate’s heart go cold. “Haven’t you noticed it yet, Miss


    Lynd? The reason Mr. Langford had you wait in the study the whole time was because he was waiting for


    you to appease him with nice words! What if I tell you that if you return to the study and say something


    nice to him, he won’t stay mad at you?”


    Tina was stunned to hear the subordinate’s response.


    Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    “Stay mad at me? What do you mean by that? Are you telling me that Samuel’s throwing a tantrum


    because of me?”


    Tina could barely believe her ears. That was Samuel Langford they were talking about – the esteemed


    CEO of the Langford Group! His words could determine one’s fate, after all! Was there even a need for


    him to throw a tantrum because of her?


    Naturally, the subordinate was scared out of his wits. “Please don’t say those things in front of Mr.


    Langford! He can’t afford to have his reputation ruined, after all! If you don’t believe me, you can try my


    suggestion out!”


    Tina hesitated for a moment.


    She didn’t think her words would possess such power and authority over Samuel, to the extent she could


    calm him down and rid him of his anger.


    The subordinate added, “Besides, Miss Lynd… Don’t you want to see your daughter? If you can appease


    Mr. Langford and please him, you might be able to see her again!”


    His sentences hit Tina right in her weak spot.


    She took a deep breath. Since she hadpletely offended Samuel earlier, she didn’t mind offending


    him one more time.


    “Alright. I’ll try it out.” Tina returned to the study once again. This time, she was back with a cup of fresh


    coffee and some snacks.


    She knocked on the door a few times while feeling anxious.


    Knock! Knock! Knock!


    “Get lost!” Samuel’s tone was cold and ruthless.


    Tina wanted to shrink away, but the subordinate standing behind her looked like he was cheering her on.


    Stuck between a rock and a hard ce, she could only open her mouth to say something. “It’s me, Mr.


    Langford…”


    Samuel frowned immediately, already forming a cold response. “Why are you back? Didn’t I tell you to


    get lost?”|| Tina replied dryly, “I… I’m here to serve you some coffee. Since you’ve been working for so


    long, it’s better for you to eat something in between…” Samuel gazed at her judgmentally “Who taught


    you this?”


    As expected, he sensed that something was amiss. Suspicion was written all over his eyes. Tina was


    guilt-ridden, but she pretended to be cool and collected. “No one taught me anything. I can’t help but feel


    worried, so I came back…” Samuel responded by shooting her a cold smirk. It was obvious he didn’t


    believe what she said. Miraculously, instead of telling her to get lost again, he merely tilted his chin and


    ordered,“ Put down the tray.” Tina couldn’t help but feel surprised.


    Originally, she thought that this method wouldn’t work. She would most likely get tossed out of the study


    by his subordinates at hismand. Unexpectedly, the method of her sacrificing her pride in order to


    please him actually worked.
