Chapter 96
’What happened to her? Is she really okay?’ Michael wondered. ’She was trembling like a scared bunny. Her reaction is definitely unnatural since I didn’t even hurt her, I think. I’m not sure either, I might accidentally crushed her petite body with my hug...’
He worried that something might actually happen to Mai. He wanted to find her just to ascertain that Mai was safe, but before he could leave and follow her, Erin quickly hugged his arm and yelled, "Mr. Eckermann, I’m so upset!"
Michael gritted his teeth in silence. He was actually worried that something might happen to Mai, but this bitch was trying to stop him from going after Mai.
He couldn’t wait to push her away and find Mai, but then he realized he still had a duty to carry.
He had to keep this wench by his side, so he could keep her satisfied and feed her with misinformation enough to make a fool out of her. She needed to be satisfied enough so she wouldn’t call her mother just to threaten Mrs. Woods.
’Fuck! This is excruciating!’ Michael was so angry right now. ’I can’t wait to end this whole mission! I don’t think I can handle this!’
Michael was cursing Henry, Erin, and even Kate in his mind for a good minute. Then his mind became occupied by that little bunny that looked so scared as he stared longingly towards the direction she had left.
But in the end, he calmed his chaotic mind and heart. He knew that this mission for Henry was his priority. He couldn’t abandon a mission given by his boss just because he was worried about a woman.
’Besides, I shouldn’t be worrying about that girl. She’s a fully functioning 23-year-old adult. She’s also been so harsh and disrespectful to me,’ Michael thought as he tried to convince himself to calm down. ’Why do I have to worry about her anyway? We are just coworkers at best, and I’m just playing pretend in this office.’
It took a while until Michael managed to calm down, then forced a smile on his face as he looked at Erin who was still hugging his arm, "Didn’t I tell you that I don’t want your hand to get dirty?"
"But you told me that you will punish that Chink in my stead!" Erin yelled. "Why don’t you beat her already! If it’s you who did it, of course, nobody would dare to apprehend you, right? Just tell Mr. Grant that you slapped that bitch because she’s been slandering me!"
