Chapter 41
Chapter 41 Like you? I slept on the dirty bed for a day and a night, the next day, I had no strength at all. The bedsheet was
stained with a little bit of blood, Lance was pretty harsh on me yesterday, he didn’t care if he was
hurting me at all.
When I tried to get out of bed, I fell on the ground the moment I took a step, my body was on fire.
I struggled to stand up and wobbled my way to the bathroom. I took a warm shower and got out. Then I
went to the kitchen and threw the crabs and fish away. I didn’t even have the mood to cook anymore,
so I only had instant noodles. Wendy called me again and asked why I was absent, again.
I said I already informed Lance Mason. Wendy said it was Lance who asked her to call me. He said
there were a lot of work waiting for me. All the sketches and papers……
Didn’t Lance know what he did to me? I couldn’t even walk, let alone go to work.
I looked like I was raped by an animal, how could I go outside like this?
Wendy hung up after informing all the important things. I dialled Lance’s number immediately. He
picked up the phone after a few rang and asked, in an annoyed tone: “What?”
“I need some days off.”
What came next was Lance’s yelling: “Jennie Gomez, is this your family business? Who gave you the
right to choose if you want to come to work or not? The office isn’t your hotel, okay?!!”
I moved the phone away from my ear a little and calmed myself. “The office is not my family’s, I don’t
even have a family, what are you even talking about? I know this company is yours that’s why I asked
you for permission. I’m wounded, I’m sick, I have fever and inflammation, I need to go to the hospital
for drip-feeding again. If you are still interested in this human toy of yours, then allow me a few days off
to rest.”
I didn’t lie, I really was sick.
Lance paused for a moment and asked: “The same hospital?”
He’s always like that, hurt me deeply the day before and act like nothing happened the next day.
Always.
“No, I’m going to the gynaecologist.” Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
Lance suddenly growled at me on the phone: “Are you pregnant? Going to abort?”
What the hell is with guys? Do all men think going to the gynaecologist means abortion?
I laughed coldly: “Thanks to you, my down there is wounded, okay?”
Lance’s voice calmed down a lot. “Alright, come attend the company’s party two days later.”
I said okay and hung up. Then I went straight to the doctor. I got scolded for being so needy as woman
and has no self control.
After one night, I felt much better. I thought about all the sketches, if I didn’t go to work, then everything
will fall onto Lawrence’s shoulder.
Lawrence treats me really well, I couldn’t be so selfish. I went to work after one day of rest instead of
two.
Lance saw me at work and asked me curiously: “Didn’t you apply for a few days off? Why are you back
so soon?”
I didn’t think about anything and answered him immediately. “If I don’t come, then Lawrence has to do
all my work, I feel bad.”
“Hmph!” Lance scoffed unhappily.
I gave him a weird look and continued my work.
“Are you close with Lawrence?” Lance asked me in a husky voice.
Lance wouldn’t do anything to Leo, but he would do something to Lawrence. I can’t say anything
wrong.
“We are colleagues, so we help each other at work.” I answered.
Lance sat inside my office watching me, not leaving. He must have a bad memory. We just fought and
he even beat me a few days ago, now he’s acting like nothing happened.
After a while of working, my back was sore. I stood up and stretched my body while Lance rested his
head on his hand and watched me.
I jokingly teased him. “Lance, if you keep watching me this way I would think that you have fallen for
me.”
Lance blushed slightly and moved his lips a few times, trying to explain, but he didn’t say anything.
Then, he said: “What?! Fall for you? What a joke, please look at yourself in the mirror.”
I gave him a fake laugh and said: “I’m kidding, alright? I’m not as stupid as you think, if you like me,
would u have given me to that old man?”
A flash of anger crossed Lance’s eyes. In a blink it turned into sarcasm again. “So, be obedient,
alright? If not, there are still a lot of old men waiting for you. Niklaus Sands won’t be around to save
your ass every time.”
My face paled. I forced myself to act calm and replied: “Really? Then I shall wait. It’s all the same,
right? I sold myself to you, what’s the difference with those men? I’m at fault for not mentally well-
prepared last time, I will be prepared next time.”
I noticed Lance’s hands turned into fists, trying to contain his anger.
“Good girl, that’s how you should think. Whores can’t always think of ways to climb up the status
stairs.”
I stared at Lance and wanted to laugh. Does the public know this is how Lance speak to women behind
everyone’s back?
