C2 There Was No Benefit in Fighting Him!

The alarm rang again and again. Priscilla felt a headache coming on, but she had no choice but to get up.

She had prepared breakfast and placed it on the table. It was already half past six when she returned to her room. The man was still sleeping.

He had never been so punctual. Even on weekends, he would not wake up before six o'clock. He would work out for an hour, then bury himself in work. He would also attend all sorts of social events and parties at night.

She wanted to wake him up and ask him to go back and lie down for a while, but she didn't dare.

Just as she was about to close the door and leave, a lazy voice came from behind her. "Bring the breakfast in."

She stood at the door and paused for a few seconds. Then, she did as he said.

When she returned to her room, she found that he was wearing clothes. She wanted to turn around, but he said in annoyance, "Come in! It's not like I've never seen you before. Why are you pretending?"

She gritted her teeth and endured her grievance. She entered the room and placed the breakfast on the table. Just as she was about to leave, he pulled her over and threw her into his arms.

His breath hit her hot face. He bit her earlobe and asked, "Did I say anything last night?"

Priscilla didn't know how to answer.

"Is it true?" He was impatient. He reached out with one hand to her neck and squeezed her tightly. "Damn it! What are you doing? Didn't you hear me asking you?"

"I... didn't hear you."

"Very good." He finally let go of her. He pushed her forward in disgust. She gasped for air and felt dizzy. She almost fainted. Luckily, he had placed his hand on the corner of the dressing table so that she wouldn't fall.

"Prepare the toiletries and bring the breakfast out." He put on his suit and walked out.

Priscilla paused for a moment, rubbed her temples, and gritted her teeth as she brought out the breakfast that she had just brought in.

After applying the toothpaste and getting warm water, the servant said in a stiff voice, "It's ready. You can brush your teeth now."

Lachlan raised his head from the computer and felt that something was wrong with the woman in front of him today, but he could not put his finger on it.

After serving him breakfast, she finally dared to speak, "I want to take a day off today. I won't be working overtime today."

He looked at her and asked indifferently, "What is it?"

"I have to go to the hospital to see Luke."

"I'll go tomorrow!"

"But..."

"It's fine if you don't work overtime, but don't you know the family banquet today? Do you want to repeat what happened last time?" He turned off the computer coldly.

Last time, she had gone to the hospital late and caused Old Master Rowley to blame her for not bringing her over.

"The family banquet starts at five o'clock. I can rush back... It was an accident last time that I was late."

The only time she had spoken to him so loudly.

He felt that it was ear-piercing. He narrowed his eyes and walked over. This woman actually dared to disobey him when he was in the worst mood!

"I never say the same thing twice!" As he spoke, he approached her, and his dark eyes looked as if they were about to spit fire.

She gritted her teeth. "I have to go today. You can do anything to me in the future, but today, you have to listen to me."

Did this woman really have the guts to talk to him like that?

His eyes narrowed. "What? Do you want me to stop all the medical expenses and Algea's expansion project?"

If it was any other time, he would have ignored her. It would have been better if she didn't appear in front of him. However, tonight, she had to attend the dinner because he had something important to announce.

"No... The doctor said that Luke is not in good condition today. He said that I have to see him."

Priscilla's phone rang as soon as she finished speaking. She glanced at the caller ID and said gently, "Rosetta... Okay, I'll be there right away."

He turned around and snorted. He stood up and said, "I have something important to announce tonight at the dinner. If you dare to go to the hospital, you will have to bear the consequences." With that, he picked up his suit and left in a hurry.

Priscilla stared at his back for a few seconds. She clenched her teeth and clenched her fists tightly. She could not calm down for a long time.

She would not get anything good if she fought with him.
