“Thank you.”
“Oh yeah. Thea, I heard that your husband is Lex’s handpicked candidate. He’s an orphan and a retired soldier. Why are you with him? You could definitely do better than him. Why not consider a successful young man who’s wealthy?”
As he said that, Hank straightened up. “I know someone. He’s young, already a manager at a big organization with a monthly income of fifty thousand dollars. He has a house and a car. Why don’t you divorce James? My friend would be good for you!”
The friend he was talking about was himself.
However, he was smart enough not to make it so obvious.
He was testing Thea.
Thea felt warm. She pulled her shirt up slightly and fanned herself.
Noticing Hank’s perverted gaze, she blushed. Looking away, she said in a small voice, “Sorry, Hank. I’m feeling a little warm.”
“It’s not warm. The AC is on.”
Hank took the opportunity to sit down beside Thea. He touched her forehead. “Do you have a fever?”
Thea avoided his touch, twisting away from him. “Hank, about the job?”
“There’s no rush…”
Just then, Thea felt dizzy.
Her body was burning up.
Could the water…
She knew that something was wrong. Standing up, she said, “Hank, please excuse me. Where’s the bathroom?”
“I have one in my office.” Hank pointed to a door.
Thea had no choice. She quickly stood up.
As soon as she stood, she felt dizzy, almost toppling onto the couch.
Hank caught her just in time. Faking concern, he asked, “Thea, are you alright?”
“I-I’m not sure. I feel slightly dizzy. Let me go to the bathroom and freshen up.”
She was so terrified she did not even say a word.
James was too intimidating. She was sweating all over.
Ella Corporation. The human resources manager’s office.
Hank had removed his shirt, revealing his muscles. Looking at the bathroom door, he licked his lips, smirking. “The most beautiful woman in Cansington. I get to enjoy you today.”
As for the consequences?
He had given it some thought.
Based on what he knew, Thea had been cast out of the family. She was no longer part of the Callahans. Otherwise, she would not be looking for a job.
As for her husband James, he had done something stupid by borrowing the car. Once the important person returned, he would be dead.
There was nothing to fear. Furthermore, he would be recording the whole thing. Thea would never say a word.
“I’m coming for you, Thea.”
