Chapter 279

Chapter 279 Tina was so surprised that she instinctively ripped her wrist out of Samuel‘s grasp andretreated a few steps backward. “M–Mr. Langford, what‘s wrong? Did I do something wrong?” she askedin a frightened tone. The sight of Tina looking so terrified allowed Samuel to gradually calm down. He didsee her real face and investigated her background...

It was all that d*mned woman‘s fault! Not only did she betray his trust, but it was also thanks to her thathe became an insomniac. Now, he was reduced to a paranoid shell of a man. Samuel rubbed his soreforehead in irritation before saying coldly, “It‘s nothing. I‘m not used to a stranger touching me, that‘s all.Keep going.” However, Tina hesitated to act. She continued asking fearfully, “Are you sure?”

When Samuel noticed just how frightened she looked, he realized his sudden change in attitude hadscared her. “Yes. I‘m fine,” he replied. “I was spacing out earlier and ended up thinking about a womanwho should‘ve died a long time ago.” His response drilled even more fear into Tina’s heart. · A womanwho should‘ve died a long time ago? That would be her, right? However, she didn‘t dare to reveal herinner fear. All she could do was take a deep breath before approaching Samuel once again. Now, sheacted more carefully than before. After measuring his neck, she went ahead and took his chest and hipmeasurements...

Tina worked carefully and slowly, not daring to touch Samuel at all. It was as if he was a ticking timebomb in her eyes. Finally, she was done taking all the measurements. Tina let out a sigh of relief beforesaying, “All the measurements have been taken now, so I‘ll be taking my leave, Mr. Langford.” Before hecould answer her, she hunched over and left the study immediately like she was running away from him.She felt as if she had just successfully escaped from a demon‘s lair.

“Whew! Luckily, I escaped just in time! That was so scary!”

Upon returning to her room, Tina locked the door behind her and leaned against it while patting her chestto soothe herself. “Did you commit a crime? Why do you look so scared?”. Suddenly, a child–like voicedrifted from a corner of the room. The sight of Keith‘s face almost gave Tina a heart attack.

“Keith? Why are you in my room?!” she shrieked. “Can‘t I be here?” The boy frowned immediately. Hecontinued coldly, “This is my house, so your room is also a part of my territory.” “You...” Tina was soangry that she shook. Then again, she couldn‘t bring herself to argue with a five–year–old, especiallywhen he was still very ill. “Go back to your room and rest there,” she said. “Aren‘t you handing over thedesigns to Samuel tomorrow? His measurements aren‘t the only data that you need. You‘ll have to takemy measurements as well, right?” Keith continued speaking with the same frown. “I came here to replaceyou on my own just so you wouldn‘t have to make an extra trip to my room in order to do your work. Ididn‘t expect you to chase me out of your room.”

Tina didn‘t know what to say. ;

When it came to Samuel and Keith, she could never replace the right thing to say.

“You‘re right. Thank you for coming here on your own. Stand up straight, now. I‘ll start taking yourmeasurements.”

Compared to the tough time Tina had while taking Samuel‘s measurements in his study, the process oftaking Keith‘s measurements was obviously shorter than easier. “Alright, I‘m done taking yourmeasurements. Tomorrow, I‘ll present you with a design that will make you look like a handsome youngprince. No one else can outshine you in the banquet for sure!” Tina said.

Keith rolled his eyes before commenting snidely, “I’m the heir of the Langford Group. If anything happensto Samuel in the future, I‘ll be the new head of the company. I don‘t want to look like a prince! That‘s sochildish!” Tina didn‘t know what to say. ‘Heh... I guess I‘m too naïve and stupid to think that he‘ll like thatidea...‘

She could only laugh dryly, already feeling the atmosphere becoming awkward. Keith had successfullyinherited Samuel‘s cold blooded trait and ruthlessness. Like father, like

son.

He was only five years old, yet he was already hoping that his father would die so that he could becomethe next head of the company. “Does Samuel know about your personality?” Tina couldn‘t help but ask.
