A Force Love Contract With GANG LEADER

She had checked all his drawers earlier but found nothing. Even in the locked drawers, for she had taken the keys when he was asleep and checked, reaped nothing.

She put things back in place exactly as they were before. This was thanks to her experience at the supermarket. She was good at arranging things on the shelves, except for the computer, where she tried a password twice but didn’t get through.

She didn’t dare to try again.

She came just in time before the screensaver started. A spreadsheet was on the screen.

She sat down and put her hand on the mouse.

While Kate was doing this, she felt that she was not herself. Somebody else possessed her. Her body was feeble, but her mind was clear. She knew all the instructions she was given, and she obeyed them mechanically.

Lucy was still meowing outside the window, and Laura, who was outside, and Tristan, on the roof, spoke from time to time.

They sounded so far away as if they were in another world.

Too many folders and files… She didn’t have time to check the content of each file. She could only judge from the file names based on the financial knowledge she had learned in her half-semester at college.

Time was ticking away.

And the bar of the copying task was moving bit by bit. Her stomach was churning again.

She put her hand to her mouth and felt her hand was cold. She closed her eyes for a few seconds and took deep breaths.

Besides the reason that she agreed to help the deputy director Roger Kane, she wanted to know what he was doing for herself.

She could guess that the government officers traded with business giants from what she overheard the two waitresses saying in the private club. She didn’t know what exactly these trades were, but the clues might be enough.

The rest needed to be investigated by the people who were more professional.

The rescue was a tough task. Lucy had slid to the middle of the roof. Tristan got out to the roof from the attic window too and stooped down to reach for Lucy. Lucy slid downward bit-by-bit and screamed from time to time.

Luckily Tristan was both imperturbable and incredibly supple thanks to his diligence in working out. After some effort, his hand finally reached Lucy. He urged her gently, “Lucy, come on. Grab my hand.”

Lucy was out of her mind, and her hair had all stood up. She looked at Tristan for a long time and finally managed to reach one of her trembling legs to him. He grabbed her leg and pulled it up.

When she got to his arms, Lucy clung to him tightly. Tristan heaved a sigh of relief and patted her back. “Good girl.”This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

He had to be very careful going back to the attic, or it would be not just the cat that fell off the roof. He might not die from the fall, but it would be a shame to break his bones.

Lucy freaked out. Even after they landed safely in the attic, it would not get down from Tristan’s arms. Her claws grabbed his clothes tightly, and he could not get her to release him.

He was amused and pitied Lucy, “Bad girl, now you learn the lesson? Don’t you ever run to the attic again?”

“And remember to eat less and work out more.”

After stroking it for a long time, her hair turned soft, and her claws loosened. Tristan put it down and went to wash his hands and change his clothes. When he passed the bedroom, he pushed the door open softly.

He saw Kate stand not far from the door with a pale face. He frowned and asked, “You threw up again?”

Kate’s lips trembled. She didn’t look at him, shook her head, and then nodded again.

He went to grab her hand. They were cold. He said sympathetically, “You suffered a lot from it.”

“You will have only this baby. I will be careful from now on.”

Kate’s hand trembled a little, and she didn’t make a sound.

Her pitiful look always touched the softest part of Tristan’s heart. He pushed her to his arms and asked gently, “Are you hungry? I will ask Laura to cook something you like for you.”

The gentler he was, the colder Kate felt. She shivered all over her body.

She clung to Tristan’s waist, and his strong body transmitted some power to her and made her feel at ease. She put her face against his chest and listened to the steady and powerful beating of his heart. Her wildly beating heart was pacified.

Tristan was surprised at her voluntarily seeking his hugging. Probably hormones from her pregnancy were stimulating her. For this part of her pregnancy, he welcomed the change. He held her tighter to his arms.

They stayed in that position for a while, and then Tristan asked, “Do you want to go to lie down? I will call you when Laura gets the food ready.”

Kate nodded on his chest.

He carried her up and put her on the bed carefully, covered the blanket for her and kissed her on the forehead, and then left the room.
