My Paranoid Lover (Lance Mason)

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.

“No, I’m going to the gynaecologist.”

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?
