Chapter 124 A Duel

• Susan was hoisted into the air, startling her. "Put me down, Julian," she grumbled in a low voice since she was afraid to yell aloud. We are now in the office. Julian, though, ignored her. With a harrumph, he squeezed her closer. As Julian brought Susan into the workplace in his arms, everyone in the office stared in disbelief. Astonished, perplexed, envious, and jealous. Susan sensed that people were staring at her. Susan was in the news again because of Mr. Shaw. She would definitely bury herself in the hole if there were one. After carrying her the entire distance, Julian finally set her down in his chair.
• Susan cleared her throat after settling onto the seat and added, "Mr. Shaw brought me in because I hurt my ankle. We are very fortunate to have a fantastic manager like Mr. Shaw, who genuinely cares about his employees. The audience only started to recover from the shock after a brief period of stillness. The audience responded, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're too lucky," one after the other. A few of the female coworkers were likewise unsure about whether or not they needed to follow suit. After all, Susan fell right into Julian's arms when she stumbled in the canteen the last time. She injured her ankle this time, and Julian stepped forward to embrace her.

Their hearts began to race, and their faces reddened when they thought of having intimate contact with Julian. Luke quickly came with his crew. It took him a lot of willpower not to approach Susan and have a look at her. Then, seeming to be unconcerned, he said, "Miss Shelby's feet appear serious." I believe we ought to take her to the hospital immediately. "It's okay, it's okay," Susan waved her hand. "Just get me some medication, and I'll be fine."
