Chapter 28
“You must be tired after such a long meeting, Mr. Langford. Let me give you a shoulder rub.” Tina said, and started to massage Samuel’s shoulders.
However, she seemed exceedingly trained in fawning, which irritated Samuel instead of improving his mood.
Just as she was about to move to his legs, he caught her hand and pulled her into his arms.
As hormones filled the air between them, Tina became a little afraid. However, she didn’t dare to resist, and tightly shut her eyes.
And yet, that was when a mobile phone started ringing, ruining the atmosphere.
Samuel frowned, and saw on the phone display that it was Cindy calling him-she usually wouldn’t bother him unless there was something urgent.
Once he answered it, Cindy’s soft voice immediately spoke from the other end.
“Sam, it’s a little late. Am I bothering you?”
Tina was actually curious about the voice. Why was a woman calling Samuel in the middle of the night?
“What is it?” Samuel asked.
Cindy’s tone became tentative right then. “Sam… Grandma seems a little sick tonight. She told me not to tell you, but I’m really worried…”
Samuel showed no hesitation once Grandma Langford was mentioned. “Stay there. I’ll be right over.”
“Okay, Sam. I’ll be waiting,” Cindy replied.
Hanging up, Samuel promptly left Tina and changed his clothes before hurrying away.
Tina was left utterly perplexed. When she ran into Sandy in the corridor, she asked gingerly,” Mr. Shaw, Mr. Langford left after getting a call just now. Can I…”
Sandy, however, frowned as he misunderstood something just then.
“I must advise you to watch yourself, Miss Lynd. You have no grounds to ask about Miss Young so casually.”
“Eh? Miss Young?” Tina appeared even more perplexed-she just wanted to ask if she was allowed to sleep now.
“Miss Young is Mr. Langford’s childhood friend and the ‘Mrs. Langford’ that his mother had decided on long ago. You should recognize reality soon, Miss Lynd, and not retain your
unrealistic delusions.”
There was a clear warning in Sandy’s voice even as he continued, “That’s the case especially for today. I won’t report it to Mr. Langford this time, but I really hope that there won’t be a second time.”
After meeting the Lynds a few times, Sandy believed that he knew Tina better now- her whole family were all a bunch of schemers who were up to no good.
And being Samuel’s assistant, he naturally had to remove all unnecessary annoyances for him.
On the other hand, Tina was left utterly confused.
Miss Young? Samuel Langford’s childhood friend?
She then remembered the woman she saw last time, who was acting chummy with Samuel while he showed no disgust… So, that was Miss Young?
Still, that had nothing to do with her anyway. It’s not like she knew the other woman…
Eventually, she watched as Samuel left with Sandy, breathing a sigh of relief as peace returned to the mansion once more novelbin
“Finally, some shut-eye…”
As she lay happily on her bed, Samuel’s car sped to the hospital.
“Are you alright, Grandma?!” Samuel asked as he opened the door to Grandma Langford’s ward, where Cindy was sitting beside Grandma Langford’s bed and asking after her.

Grandma Langford was actually a little surprised to see him. “Why are you here?”
“I heard you were sick. Why didn’t you tell me?” Samuel asked even as he strode towards her.
Grandma realized something then and shot Cindy a look, who quickly put up’a miserable face
and said softly, “I thought Sam would be worried, Grandma…”
