Chapter 142 Her Fear
Chapter 142 Her Fear
She closed her eyes in resignation and chose topromise.
When she opened her eyes again, she stood up and walked towards the storage room with heavy
steps.
The door that was brokenst time had been fixed, and it was wide open, beckoning to her like the
gaping mouth of a demon, waiting for her to fall into its trap.
She took difficult steps. The moment she stepped into the room, fear engulfed her.
Lilian trembled all over. Driven by fear, she dared not move forward. She turned around to leave,
but Nelson closed the door before her.
With a loud bang, the door to the storage room shut tightly, cutting off thest ray of light in her
eyes.
Lilian''s legs turned weak, and she fell to the ground feebly.
The space was small and narrow. It was suffocating, and fear enveloped herpletely.
She sat on the ground, hugged her knees, and closed her eyes, refusing to acknowledge that she
was in a small dark room.
She opened her mouth,forting herself.
Don''t be afraid... It was not scary...
Someone had said that to her before. He held her and gentlyforted her, saying, "It''s okay, Lily.
Don''t be afraid."
Lilian curled up into a ball, silently speaking to the person in her imagination, "I''m not afraid."
As long as she convinced herself like this, she wouldn''t be afraid.
He had once told her that.

After Francis left the vi, he went straight to thepany.
Nelson followed closely behind him. He caught up to Francis''s pace, and they entered the elevator
together.
"Mr. Landau, Clyde has been taken away. Once the ounts are checked, he should be sent to
prison."
Francis stood with his hands in his pockets and leaned against the elevator wall without saying a
word.
Nelson paused and continued, "Um, the tickets for the business trip tonight have been booked.
Should we cancel Ms. Rossum''s ticket?"
Francis finally showed some expression. He nced at Nelson gloomily.
"Cancel it."
Nelson nodded. "Alright." Thinking of something, he hesitated and asked, "What about Ms.
Rossum? Shall we leave her alone?"
"It''s just three days. She won''t die." He said coldly, finishing his sentence just as the elevator
arrived. He stepped out.
Nelson frowned. Would it really be okay for her to live without eating or drinking for three days?
Nelson had never tried it himself, but he had experienced being too busy to eat for a day, and he
couldn''t bear it.
Moreover, Lilian was a girl.
Nelson sighed, but he couldn''t persuade Francis. After all, Francis was still angry, and no matter
who tried to advise Francis, it would be useless.

After working for Francis for so long, Nelson had some understanding of him. When he got
extremely angry, he would be calmer than ever.
When Julian found out that Francis was going on a business trip, she immediately limped to the
company and said that she wanted to go with him.
"Frank, just take me with you. Since my leg is still injured, I can''t work anyway. It''s a good
opportunity for me to rx with you."
Francis pulled at his tie irritably, nced at her, and said, "I''m going on a business trip, not for
leisure."
"I know. I just want to go with you. You go on a business trip, and I go for leisure. There''s no
conflict." Julian clung to his arm, acting spoiled.
Francis sat down on the sofa and nced at her injured foot. It had been swollen badly before, and
she even had blood drawn at the hospital. Although it had subsided now, there was still a faint
redness.
He found it somewhat amusing. "You''re injured like this, but you still want to have fun. Don''t you
want your leg anymore?"
Julian sat down next to him, smiling at him. "I just want to be with you, and that''s all. I don''t really
want to go y. If you go on a business trip for three days, I won''t be able to see you for three
days."
Before Francis could say anything, the office door was pushed open, and Harriet walked in wearing
high heels.
"Mr. Landau, we should leave now."
