My Boss Loves Me Crossfire 25
I wasn't sure what had woken me up, the sound of the noisy machine near me, or the pain in my head right now. Both my temples were throbbing hard, and even my eyes were pulsating painfully. I slowly opened my eyes and looked at my slightly dirty black pants, with a few strands of my brown hair falling over my eyes.It wasn't just my head that hurt, my entire body did too. I couldn't move anything because I was tightly tied to the chair I was sitting on. Someone must have removed my jacket, because now I was just wearing my white shirt. Blood that had already partially dried stained some of my shirt, matching the color of my maroon red tie still hanging around my neck.Although my head felt like it was splitting apart, I forced myself to tilt my head upwards. At first, my eyes were still blurry, but after a few moments, I began to see more clearly. I must be in a factory building right now because of the noisy machine across from me.I was willing to bet all my assets at Crossfire Inc.
My Boss Loves Me Chapter 26
Who is that man? Several times I caught a concerned expression in Humbert's eyes as he looked to the corner of the room."Lancaster," he whispered very low, his lips barely moving as he called my name. He was looking at me again."What?" I asked just as quietly. "I'm not joking... The man sent seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars to my account thirty minutes ago. He really wants your head," he continued with the same hushed whisper as before.I looked at Humbert's sagging face with a serious expression. At this point, my playful mood had disappeared. "Who is the man?" "I don't know, but he's not joking. I made a deal with him, if you give me the security code for the Crossfire system, then I'll return the money and release you," he continued with an expression that made me believe his words.Seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars is not a small amount. Even if Humbert gets the security code for the Crossfire system, he still has to hack the firewall and database within eight mi

"Humbert," I called out tensely. "You can take the money, just leave this place as soon as possible."Humbert turned sharply towards me with an angry expression. "You imbecile! I am trying to save you. You should be grateful to me!"I closed my eyes tightly. Humbert may not realize it, but I am the one who is saving him right now. When I opened my eyes again, the Russian Volder was staring at me with his black eyes."What is your name?" I asked with a neutral tone. "I'm tired of calling you 'Russian Volder' in my head," I continued with a mutter.Both of his eyes stared at me with a flash of anger. "Your mouth will really kill you one day. My name is Carleon."Ah... So this is Carleon. I looked at the long scratch on his face again. If I asked him about the scar, he would definitely get mad, right? I have to divert his attention so that Humbert Bale and his minions can leave this place. "Carleon-""Oh, Mr. Bale, unfortunately Lancaster is right," he said suddenly, his attention now fu

I tried to direct my gaze away from the four corpses lying on the floor. I searched through my pockets but couldn't find my phone anywhere.A sound of something being dragged closer made me freeze up again. I turned around to look at the corner door that was wide open. Carleon whistled as he dragged one of Humbert Bale's legs, pulling him back into the room.His whistle stopped and was replaced by a grin when he saw me again. He effortlessly gathered the fifth victim and placed him beside the others, just like in his narration earlier. Five people murdered for embezzlement of company funds."Don't you want to add a sixth victim?" I gritted my teeth as I spoke. Though I had witnessed violence and bloodshed in every kidnapping I've been through, I had never seen a dead body in my life."You're not included in that plan, Lancaster," he said, still smiling. He picked one of the corpses up and placed it on his shoulder lightly. Fresh blood still dripped from the man's neck, which Carleon l

Suddenly, the sound of a door being slammed shut overpowered my screams. Carleon immediately removed his mouth from my neck and looked up to see who had arrived."Printsessa!" he exclaimed with enthusiasm.I could still feel the burning and weakness in my body, but I tried to lift my head to see who had just entered. My neck was still wet with the blood that was flowing from my wounds caused by his fangs."Alice," he said, still beside me, "I'm sorry, but I have to kill you tonight."Alice stood near the door with Erik. She was still wearing her red dress, but this time, she roughly tied her golden hair back... as usual. The tip of her katana was peeking out from behind her back. Erik was wearing a suit, looking very neat from head to toe. Unlike Alice, who seemed to be focused solely on Carleon, Erik's gaze had been fixed on me since he arrived."Vlad sends his regards," Carleon muttered beside me. "Don't be offended. I'm only following your father's orders... ""I don't care about y
My Boss Loves Me Crossfire
Three days have passed since I "awakened" from the hellish nightmare that turned out to be the transition process I had to go through before becoming a Leech. Alice told me everything that had happened while I was unconscious.After the poison that paralyzed me attacked my respiratory system, Alice and Erik brought me to Nicholas Shaw's house. The poison in my body could not be neutralized, so the only way was either to let me die or to turn me into a Leech.Unfortunately, Nicholas could not turn me into his Leech, as every time Volder transformed a human into a Leech, they would also lose some of their power. He had already turned Erik into his Leech, so he could not turn me too. Especially since Ella had just given birth to twin babies, and her daughter, Rosie, was born as a normal human.This is where the role of the unknown man I met three days ago comes in... I thought I was the most proficient in making others angry, but it turns out there was still someone who could surpass me.
My Boss Loves Me Chapter 71
(POV - Eleanor Heather)Our lives drastically changed after Elliot and Rosie were born.Nick resigned from his job and appointed a competent new partner to manage his law firm.When I asked if he would regret giving up the firm that he had built from the ground up, Nick shrugged, seemingly unconcerned.He said he was embarking on a new job that he had never tried before… being a father.As usual, Nick was always right. Being parents to twins was an incredibly exhausting job. The different personalities of Elliot and Rosie also posed their own challenges for us.But Nick seemed to enjoy it very much. So I had no reason not to enjoy it as well.Of course, problems still arose in our lives.Several months had passed since Lana became a Leech. At first, Greg had hidden the fact that Lana was turned by Vlad’s henchman named Carleon.But eventually, Nick, who was suspicious, tried to investigate. The two of us “judged” Greg until he admitted everything.We were very surprised because at fir
My Boss Loves Me Chapter 72
In the end, we agreed to discuss the Carleon issue further after Greg told Lana, because after all, this problem also concerned her."Getting Carleon to come here is not that easy," Nick said after Greg had gone home.We had just put Elliot and Rosie to bed in their room. Lately, they had been able to sleep on the same schedule, whereas before I and Nick took turns watching the twins because of their different sleep schedules.If Rosie slept, Elliot would wake up, and vice versa. Such a schedule had almost driven us crazy.It was only this week that we finally got to sleep in the same room again. Before, one of us had to sleep in the twins' room just in case one of them woke up."Which one is easier? Kidnapping him or luring him to Manhattan?" I asked before throwing my body onto the bed and stretching my arms out to relax.Nick unbuttoned his shirt one by one while furrowing his brow."Kidnapping him is definitely more troublesome than getting him to come here."My eyes roamed over h
