Loredana felt weird; what’s there to be afraid of?
There was not a single drawback to publicizing their relationships, only benefits to her.
“Our short marriage is just a trade. If your co-workers knew about it, it’s going to bring a lot of problems for you.” She lowered her eyes, said faintly.
With a plan, her heart was empty with panic. She did not know how much truth was it in her assumption.
If it was fake, she could just consider it as an accident.
What if it was real…
This man…
Will he accept the kid?
“You’re looking out for me?”
His lips went up slightly as if this was the answer that made him satisfied.
She had many thoughts inside her head as she clenched her hands, asking tentatively, “I guess. After divorcing, you’re going to marry Ms. White right away, right.”
When it came to Helen, Cormac’s face sunk. He turned his head slightly over, gazing at her harshly,
“Are you testing me?”
Indeed, Loredana wanted to test would he marry Helen White; she wanted to know how deep Cormac had invested his feelings into Helen White.
Loredana acted steady, “I’m just curious about your love story with Ms. White. Testing? Is that necessary? I gain nothing from it anyway.”
Even though Loredana had an adequate explanation, Cormac wasn’t buying it.
He felt that her words had some meaning behind them.
Whatever it was, he doesn’t know it.
His instincts told him that she had some intention behind it.
They had both arrived at the company. Usually, Cormac parked his car in the underground, but this time, he stopped on the top of the parking area.
Loredana came out of the car and stood aside, waiting for Cormac to go first, then proceed.
Cormac glanced at her, and Loredana squeezed a smile, “I’m not going to give you any trouble.”
“How would you know if I see it as trouble?” He asked calmly, turning his sight, “Unless, you’re reading my mind?”
Loredana, “…”
She took a step back when she saw a car coming, completely distancing herself from him.
Cormac glanced at her faintly, then going into the building.
The quietness of the morning had washed away the tense working atmosphere. The whole building even looked slightly relaxed.
The person inside that car just now was also a WY Group co-worker. He was from the IT department.
He saw Loredana standing there, as he walked over, “You’re also working at WY Group?”
Loredana replied politely, “Yes, I am.”
“Come.” The man was wearing a pair of glasses, slightly thin, slightly white-colored skin. He looked like a gentleman.
Loredana nodded.
“Which department are you from?” asked the man.
“I’m from the translating department.” Loredana replied softly.
“Oh.” The man paused for a second, “You’re new here right, I’ve never seen you before.”
“Yea, I just came here a few days ago.” As she was talking, she looked up and saw Cormac in front, he was already in front of the hall, entering the building’s reception hall…
Suddenly, a black shadow darted out, going straight for Cormac…
“DIE!” It was a woman, holding a sharp knife; she seemed prepared.
The sharp and shiny blade reflected light as it sliced through a curve, aiming for Cormac’s backside.
“Careful…”
In this nick of time, Loredana rushed forward.
She was unable to think straight; it wasn’t about being brave or not afraid of dying. She just believed that Cormac could be the unborn child’s father; her sanity was beyond control.
Or maybe it was her having unique feelings for the first man of her life.
In short, she lost her mind trying to block away dangers targeted to Cormac.
Cormac heard some noises, turned around, and saw Loredana running towards him, and Beulah
Shawn, who was holding a knife…
Bang!
Loredana knocked into his arms, as well as Beulah’s knife on her hand…
Loredana had gathered her sanity back; will she die like this?
She hadn’t had the time to confirm was he the man that night, was he the father of the unborn child.
Thoughts emerged through her head, things that happened in the past, her mother, brother, happy or unhappy incidents, and now the unborn child in her stomach.
She did not want to die, refusing, unwilling.
Her brain had an idea, as her body complied. She attempted to push her off with both her hands.
However, something was holding back her waist; her body crashed into a hard and solid chest, she was unable to move.
She regretted.
But there was no chance to regret.
She accepted her fate and closed her eyes.
Hoping that pain doesn’t come too fast, living another second was another second.
Screeching sounds rang through her ears.
One second, two seconds, three seconds…
Pain never came.
She opened her eyes slowly and saw Cormac looking at her. She could not guess the emotion on his face, as if it were changing like the clouds, from shocked and surprised to fear and happiness.
He did not expect when danger appeared, she would come and block him from danger. His pupils looked like it could smile, “Do you know what you’re doing?”
At this moment, all Loredana could think was why she was unable to feel pain in her body.
She turned over and saw Cormac grabbing the knife that was inches away from her body. Blood dripped through his fingers.
Beulah glanced at Cormac with her bloodshot eyes; she was angry how did she not stab him to death?
“I’ll kill you all!” It seemed that Beulah was enraged by something as she pulled her knife out, preparing to strike once again.
It was like she won’t stop unless they’re dead!
Cormac frowned slightly.
“You made me lose everything; I’m going to kill you all!” Beulah looked beyond sanity, lunging towards him recklessly.
Cormac grabbed Loredana’s waist, turned around, and shoved the knife away from Beulah. He then stretched his legs and kicked her down.
The security guards in the building heard the racket and came surging in to hold Beulah down. She was struggling, losing all her image of a noble person, screeched, “Hands off, or I’m suing you all for sexual harassment!”
At this hour, people were arriving one after another for work. It took no effort for them to surround the entrance area.
Everyone was discussing this incident as if they were surprised by this fuss.
Everyone pricked up their ears, trying to understand what was happening…
