Chapter 66 Kidnap Her

• The air hung heavy with the stale stench of cigars and perfume in George's dimly lit office. With a dissatisfied smirk curling on his lips, he idly ran his hand through the tousled hair of the young woman perched on his lap. Her eyes, framed with heavy eyeliner, stared up at him with a mixture of desire and emptiness. The confrontation replayed in his mind, Linda's audacity in front of his business associates. She had disgraced him, and he wouldn't let her off so easily.
• As if summoned by his malicious thoughts, the office door creaked open and Linda stepped inside, her eyes wide with apprehension. A surge of satisfaction coursed through George's veins, but he feigned indifference as he dismissed the young woman on his lap with a lazy wave of his hand.
• Linda's voice trembled with uncertainty as she stammered an apology, her gaze fixed on the floor. George's eyes narrowed, searching for any sign of weakness, when they landed on a mark on her neck. It was an exact replica of the symbol etched onto Lotus. A flicker of recognition sparked in his eyes as he studied her face, a mask of innocence. Pouncing upon an opportunity to manipulate, he grabbed her hands, his grip firm and unwavering.
