“Because of what?” Helen was not as calm as before.
“I just heard a few gossips, so Ms. White doesn’t need to really care about it.” Loredana purposely said some and stopped saying the rest to ensure that Helen did not know how much did she know. She deliberately left Helen in suspense.
“Cormac and I sincerely love each other. So, there are naturally people who are not happy and green with envy to see it, and gossip about it. If Ms. Flores wants to take it seriously, I also can’t do anything.”
Helen stood up while saying, “There is still half a month. The position that belongs to me will always belong to me.”
She took a glance at Loredana and left.
“How does Ms. White know that I’m pregnant for two months?” Loredana also stood up.
“I had told you, I guessed it.”
Loredana walked over, “My belly is not obvious to be recognized as pregnant. It’s impossible to determine how long I have been pregnant by just looking at it but Ms. White can guess it immediately. I think even women who have experience of giving birth to a child will not have the same ability as Ms.
White, right?”
“Maybe it’s a coincidence? I could guess it because I’m lucky. Anything can happen in this world, maybe I really have this kind of talent?” Finished speaking, Helen walked towards the elevator.
The door of the elevator slowly closed. In the gap, Loredana and Helen stared at each other.
Although Helen did not show any flaws in her words, she knew that Loredana must have found out something.
Otherwise, Loredana would not come to find her and put out feelers today.
Helen did not know how much did Loredana know.
The strength in Loredana’s body was drained the moment the door of the elevator was fully closed.
Many signs indicated that her guess might be true.
But she was unable to understand the details.
If it was really Cormac, why did the woman who introduced her to the business that day give her money?
Why did Cormac…
Just to fulfil his desire to have sex?
She could not figure it out. It was like a mystery with a hidden conspiracy.
But she had no clue to find it out.
After work, she went home as usual.
“You come back alone?” Coral poked in the direction behind Loredana.
Loredana nodded in slight disappointment. When she got off work, she saw Helen, who was dressed exquisitely, get into his car.
She was no longer confident with her guess as before. Perhaps Cormac really loved Helen sincerely?
The reason he did not love her before was just that he did not realize it himself.
She was confused.
“Why didn’t you come back with the young master?” Two people should spend more time together to strengthen the bond.
“He went out with Ms. White.” Loredana only felt disheartened. After having the guess, her attitude towards Cormac had changed.
Coral sighed, “You have to put in more effort.”
Loredana smiled bleakly. As she did not want to talk about this topic, she purposely said, “I’m a bit tired, I want to take a nap.”
Coral could feel that she was obviously not in a good mood, “Go and rest, I’ll call you when dinner is ready.”
Loredana answered and went into the room.
She lay on the bed and felt exhausted. She slowly closed her eyes and really wanted to sleep for a while. When she was dazed and about to fall asleep, her phone rang.
She took out the phone and picked up the call.
“Lola, can you do me a favour?”
This voice…
Loredana instantaneously lost all her sleepiness. She sat up, “Go ahead and tell me.”
“I need to attend an occasion so I need you to be my companion.”
After a few seconds of keeping silent, Loredana replied, “Okay.”
“Send me your location, I’ll go and pick you up.”
Loredana shared her location with him and then got up from the bed. Coral happened to come in and said, “The meal is ready.”
“I will not have lunch at home. I have to go out to attend to something” Loredana tied up her messy hair and walks towards the door. After changing her shoes, she hurried out.
She didn’t want Sampson to come to the house to pick her up, so she walked to an intersection and waited for him there.
Sampson, who looked very different from his usual self today, came quickly and didn’t let Loredana wait for too long.
Since Loredana got to know him, Sampson had always been in casual wear or white gown and it was the first time for her to see him in a business suit.
Sampson got off the car and opened the door for her.
Loredana was not in a hurry to get on the car. She asked, “Is it an important meeting?”
He was dressing formally after all.
“Not exactly.” Because he didn’t give a shit about it.
Loredana stooped to board on the car. Both of them didn’t mention about the topic again.
Sampson was driving the car while Loredana was wordless.
The ambience in the car was somewhat weird.
“No need to be nervous. You can just follow me later.” Sampson tried to strike up a conversation.
When the ambience was too quiet, it appeared to be extremely awkward.
Especially when this happened after he had confessed his feelings for her.
Loredana agreed without hesitation, but it was just for the sake of his care for her and had nothing to do with feelings.
Sampson turned around to study her. Her ponytail, her palm-sized face, her delicate nose and her pink lips… every bit of her looked delicate. She had really grown up and was no longer that little girl.
“Lola, do you despise me because I’m too old?” Sampson curled his lips into a smile.
Loredana chuckled, “Sampson, you’re not old. You’re just a twenty something.”
He was not even thirty years old.
Sampson reached out to stroke her hairs, “It’s said that girls are more thoughtful. It’s true.”
Loredana took his hand away and asked, “Why do I have a feeling that you’re taking advantage of me?”
“Did I?” Sampson smiled.
Loredana pretended to be angered and ignored him.
As they were talking, the car stopped in front of a building. The large display screen was displaying the history of DF Corporation and a row of luxurious cars were parking at the entrance. Loredana felt nervous out of no reasons.
The red carpet stretched to the door. At each side of the door, there stood two men in black suit and one senior in the middle of them to welcome the guests.
Seeing that Sampson was coming over, the senior took several steps forward, “Second master.”
Loredana looked askance at Sampson. She had known that he had an extraordinary identity, but she hadn’t expected that he would be from the Herbert family that was in control of DF Corporation.
