Chapter 21 The Secretary’s Panic
Lachlan’s gaze lingered on Shelly, causing the beautiful secretary to seethe with disgust. If he were a promising young man or a wealthy heir, even an old man with some status, she might have indulged him with a flirtatious glance. But instead, he was just a useless puppet of a son-in-law ogling her curves.
The security guard next to her spat out in contempt, “What shameless behavior!” Meanwhile, passing employees pointed and whispered about Lachlan’s audacity.
“What’s going on?”
“That guy claims to be Ms. Lowe’s fiancé!”
“Another fiancé? More like just another dog! Haha…”
“It’s pitiful really. He may be Ms. Lowe’s supposed fiancé but he can’t even touch her finger.”
“Look how thirsty he is! Can’t take his eyes off Miss Parry!”
“Tsk tsk…”
Hearing these harsh comments, Lachlan’s face darkened. In the next second, he charged towards Shelly who was still insulting him with her words and said, “Miss Parry, I came to this company at Ms. Lowe’s request. As her secretary, how can you not even follow your boss’s instructions? Should I call Ms. Lowe and ask how you became a secretary?”
Upon hearing this, Shelly’s face flickered for a moment as she looked at Lachlan with disdain and said, “Pathetic! A grown man who wants to tattle on someone!”
After spitting out those words in disgust, she eventually waved her hand at the security guard and said, “Forget it! Let him in so we don’t embarrass ourselves here!”
With that said, she twisted her body and walked into the company.
Lachlan snorted coldly before following closely behind.
After the elevator opened up, Shelly went in first while Lachlan followed closely behind.
The beautiful secretary frowned as she looked at Lachlan with disgust before turning away from him completely.
It seemed like sharing an elevator ride with Lachlan made her feel nauseous too.
As soon as the elevator door opened again upon reaching their floor level destination; this woman twisted her body around quickly before walking out of it briskly saying, “Encountering such scum early in the morning is really unlucky!”
However just then, Lachlan took a few quick steps forward blocking her path directly. “Miss Parry, would you mind talking alone for a bit?”Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Shelly was stunned for a moment as she looked at Lachlan like he was an idiot before sneering, “You? Talk alone with me? Do you know what is more contemptible than being useless? It was being useless yet still not knowing your place!”
“Be a good fiancé to Ms. Lowe and stop flirting with other women in the company. Don’t you fear that she’ll skin you alive if she finds out?”
“Let’s talk in private, or else you’ll end up behind bars! I’m serious!”
Lachlan didn’t waste any time and Shelly hesitated for a moment upon hearing his words, her expression uncertain. At first, she was dismissive of what Lachlan had said but looking at his stern face made her feel uneasy.
“All right then! Let’s see what kind of trick you’re trying to pull!” After some hesitation, Shelly walked towards a storage room.
Once inside the room and leaning against the door with her chin held high, Shelly asked arrogantly, “So tell me, what do you want?”
“Miss Parry,” Lachlan chuckled. “It seems like you don’t hold me in high regard.”
“A puppet who lives off others’ money? Should anyone respect that?” Shelly rolled her eyes and scoffed.
“You’ll soon change your mind about me! You might even beg for my attention!” Lachlan narrowed his eyes as he spoke.
“Beg for your attention? Ha… that’s hilarious!”
Shelly felt like she had just heard the biggest joke in the world. Suddenly, Lachlan made a move and grabbed at Shelly’s collar! With a light sound, one of the buttons on Shelly’s shirt was directly pulled off by Lachlan, revealing a glimpse of fairness underneath.
“Ah! You despicable bastard, what are you doing?” Shelly screamed angrily as she glared at Lachlan and tightly covered her collar.
“Speak up! Who sent you to my wife? A corporate spy? Or are you working for Isa?” After crushing the button, Lachlan asked expressionlessly.
“Are you crazy? I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Shelly retorted.
“I will definitely report today’s events to Ms. Lowe! You scoundrel, I won’t let you get away with this!” Shelly cursed loudly as if she was about to be defiled.
“A listening device disguised as a button – quite an advanced technological product. Tell me, how many company secrets have you leaked to your backers?” With his voice becoming stern and cold, Lachlan held up the broken button in front of Shelly.
Initially embarrassed and angry, but now looking at the button in Lachlan’s hand – suddenly everything became clear for Shelly!
“This… this is…”
Shelly opened her mouth, then panicked and shook her head repeatedly. “I don’t know! This isn’t mine! What’s going on?”
“What’s going on? You’re asking me? Stop pretending! Should I call you Miss Parry or Miss Special Agent?” Lachlan sneered.
“I don’t know! Don’t accuse me falsely! It has nothing to do with me, really. I truly don’t know anything!” Shelly kept shaking her head and defended herself in a distressed tone.
“Arguing with me won’t help you at all. Go explain it to your boss. If she finds out that her trusted secretary secretly planted a bug on her, how do you think she’ll deal with this traitor?” Lachlan’s expression was stern.
As soon as he finished speaking, fear and panic were evident in Shelly’s eyes!
She knew that Miranda had made a two-year agreement with her family to fight against arranged marriages.
During these two years, she had to increase the company’s profits tenfold!
For this goal, she, the personal secretary, saw how hard and desperate Miranda worked every day.
If Miranda knew that there were traitors around her who leaked the company’s business secrets, obstructed her two-year goal, and made all her efforts go to waste, how angry Miranda would be.
How much she would hate the traitor who lived on her while helping others secretly!
She will absolutely mercilessly send this traitor to prison.
It was even possible to kill this traitor!!
Even if Miranda herself didn’t take action, her brother Mason will definitely not spare this person!!
