Smack!
Lily the secretary was left shocked by the audible slap.
Did someone really just slap Helen Lane, the CEO of Lanecorp, in her own office in Lanecorp Tower, and while she was sitting on her office armchair?!
But there was no doubt that it had just happened, and the assailant was a furious Vicky Turnbull, who had rushed to Zamri all the way from Morhen. As soon as she heard Frank was hurt and taken to a hospital, she dropped everything and rushed over immediately.
Along the way, she was told everything that had happened and somehow decided to go straight to Lanecorp Tower instead of visiting Frank.
Then, as soon as she arrived at Helen's office, she slapped the other woman without another word.
"Are you going to argue, Helen?" Vicky asked icily through her teeth.
"No," Helen's knuckles clenched under her desk, her whole body shaking as this was the first time she saw Vicky being this furious.
Smack!
Vicky said nothing as she slapped her other cheek.
"Ms. Lane!" Lily exclaimed as she strode up, ready to stop Vicky.
However, Helen held up a hand to stop Lily, shuddering as she breathed, "Let her."
"You said it, not me!"
Vicky gritted her teeth as she slapped Helen again, leaving her fair skin visibly swollen.
Still, as Helen wiped the blood off her cracked lip, she hung her head and murmured, "You can keep going if you're still not satisfied." "Guh..."
Vicky glanced at her palm which was swelling as well, her ample bosom heaving from clear frustration.
She slammed her hand on the table
and bellowed right then, "Did you take your meds, Helen?! Is this how you're going to treat him when I leave him with you?! You really
disappoint me... No, you do
even
deserve to call yourself my rival or my friend, you heinous bitch!"
Despite Vicky's insults, Helen simply hung her head in silence, as if admitting to her fault.
"Argh!"
Vicky yelled as she kicked down the coat hanger Rearby, "Again, and again... I'm really curious now, Helen Lane! Do you have a heart?! If you do, what is it made of?! Even if it's made of stone, hasn't Frank done enough to warm it up?! I don't get it!"
S
She turned, keeping her back to Helen as she wiped her tears. "What did he do to upset you? What did he owe you that you keep abusing him like this? Don't you know that
everything he did is for your safe
Who do you think is the reason your stupid company can last until now?! Would you even have reached where you are now without him?!"
Even as Vicky pointed at Helen and snapped, Gina, who was listening outside, had enough.
She charged into Helen's office, snapping at Vicky, "Ms. Turnbull! This is Lanecorp, not Turnbull Estate! You don't get to—"
"Get out!" both Vicky and Helen yelled at the same time, leaving Gina at once dumbstruck.
Her mouth hung open, but there was nothing she could say as she quietly closed the door and left.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
With the distraction gone, Vicky turned toward Helen again.
