C91 Was It Necessary?

"Lydia, let's go."

Lydia was still in a daze when Reece's voice sounded in her ear again.

Before she could react, the hand that was on her waist held her as they walked towards the CEO's elevator.

At this moment, the employees in the hall were stunned.

Was this man in front of them really the CEO? Was he really that gentle?

Why was he so different from the usually cold CEO?

Was he hallucinating?

As they walked away, the employees all gathered together.

"Holy sh*t! Is there something wrong with my ears? Why do I feel that the CEO's voice today is so gentle?"

"It's not just gentle. It's so soft and pampered!"

The employees nodded in agreement as their gazes fell on Lydia.

"Who is this woman? How could our CEO be so gentle?"

Just as everyone was still in a daze, Loran walked in from the door. "CEO's wife? Who are you talking about?"

"Madam?" Loran asked casually. Loran shrugged his shoulders in agreement.

Everyone was stunned. Their gazes fell on Lydia again.

"Mr. Loran, didn't the rumors say that Mr. Tillman was forced to marry his wife? Isn't he in love with his wife?" The pretty receptionist looked at Loran curiously.

That was true.

Unfortunately, that was in the past.

Now, his sixth brother...

Loran glanced at the cold figure in front of him and his mouth twitched. His sixth brother was like a madman who was protecting his wife.

"Little beauty, you can see the truth with your eyes, but you can't hear it with your ears."

The beauty was stunned for a moment, but she immediately understood what he meant.

No one in the company knew who Lydia was, but they knew very well about Loran and Reece's relationship.

Since Loran had already acknowledged Lydia as his wife, there was no way he could fake it. The employees who had been discussing Lydia just now were secretly worried that she might have heard their conversation.

Would they still be able to live a good life after offending the CEO?

When some of the girls looked at Lydia, their eyes were filled with envy and jealousy.

On the other hand, Lydia was completely unaware of the change in people's expressions and attitudes after she left. She followed Reece into the elevator.

Ding dong.

As the elevator door closed, Lydia quickly took a step to the right to widen the distance between them.

Although Lydia was shocked by Reece's actions, she treated him as if he was just acting for the sake of the old men.

After entering the elevator, the two of them fell into silence.

Reece glanced at the number on the screen and finally broke the silence. "Let's eat lunch. I'll get Secretary Kim to prepare the food."

Lydia struggled and quickly refused, "There's no need. I'll just go to the cafeteria and eat something."

"Grilled meat slices, dried bean sprouts?" Reece ignored her rejection and asked again.

This man was still so domineering.

As if she had gotten used to it, she couldn't be bothered to argue with him anymore.

She pretended not to hear his questioning and waited for the elevator to open before she left.

Looking at her back, the man behind her had no choice but to helplessly look at her.

She really didn't want to interact with him anymore.

And he couldn't do anything to her anymore.

Only when the elevator door closed did the man retract his gaze.

It was noon.

Other colleagues had all gone to eat lunch, so Lydia decided to close her computer and go to the company cafeteria to eat.

Just as she opened the door, a pair of high heels fell into her sight.

Lydia froze and looked up at the person outside the door.

"Miss Ellis." The secretary wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses smiled and walked into the room with her long legs. "The CEO ordered me to order your favorite spicy hot pot, grilled meat slices, dried bean sprouts, brown sugar pudding, and spicy crayfish."

As the secretary spoke, she placed the plate in her hand on the table.

Then, she waved at the people outside the door and a few employees of the secretary department brought in the dishes.

In just a few seconds, her desk was filled with documents.

Looking at the dishes on the table, Lydia frowned.

No one could change the decision that the man had made.

Although she was a little dissatisfied, she didn't show it on her face.

“Miss Ellis, do you have any other requests?” Secretary Jin smiled as she looked at Lydia and asked.

Lydia shook her head. "No... but..." She glanced at the table full of dishes and said helplessly, "These dishes are too much. I can't eat them all by myself. Secretary Kim, you can leave the spicy crayfish and the other dishes to the other colleagues."

Hearing this, Secretary Kim's red lips curled into a charming smile. Then, she walked out of the room.

"???"

Lydia was stunned by Secretary Kim's actions. What did she mean by that smile?

She turned around and looked at Secretary Kim blankly. "Secretary Kim, don't you like these dishes?"

"She has her own lunch." Reece walked to her side from outside and rubbed her hair. "These are our lunch."

We?

Lydia frowned. "You want to eat here too?"

"Yes." If she didn't go up, he would come down and eat.

The man nodded and sat down. He put a pair of chopsticks into her hand and said, "Eat it while it's hot. Otherwise, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

Lydia was speechless.

"Secretary Kim said that the spicy crayfish on South Street is very delicious. Try it."

Seeing the man placing the lobster in front of her, Lydia did not take it.

She looked up at the man across her. "Reece..."

"Dr. Chen Jiahao, the specialist from the neurology department, came to Goulcrest for a vacation. He promised me that he would spare an hour of his time to diagnose your left leg."

Just as Lydia was about to speak, the man interrupted her.

Reece was a famous neurosurgeon in the world, and he was especially good at treating the nerves in the legs.

However, this Doctor Chen had retired from the hospital, and he only had the title of a hospital director. Basically, he didn't accept any patients anymore.

Furthermore, this person had a strange temper. Even if one had connections, it would be difficult to get him to do private consultations.

Back then, Lydia had wanted to ask Elder Chen to help her see her legs, but she couldn't find Elder Chen's contact information, so she couldn't do anything about it. She never thought that Reece would actually help her arrange a private consultation.

It would be a lie to say that she didn't want to heal her left leg. Lydia was still very tempted when she heard this.

However, when she looked down at her left leg that was covered in scars, her eyes reddened. She sneered, "Do you think it's funny if you find someone to fix it after you break it?"

Reece was shocked. He suddenly looked up at her and asked, "What do you mean by I broke it?"

"Literally!" Lydia endured the bitterness and met the man's sharp gaze. She said word by word, "Your left leg was broken by you!"

"Lydia, there must be some misunderstanding between us." No matter how much he hated her, he had never thought of taking her life, let alone crippling her!

"Misunderstanding?" Lydia smiled coldly. "You know better than me whether it's a misunderstanding or not."

"You don't believe me?"

"I only believe myself. I believe what I heard with my own ears!"

Lydia said coldly and threw the chopsticks on the table.

Lifting her chopsticks, she pointed them at the office door and said, "Mr. Tillman, please leave the office. I'm tired. I want to rest."

Lydia's words were like a sharp knife stabbing Reece's heart. For the first time, he felt the pain of misunderstanding her.

It turned out that being misunderstood was so uncomfortable.

Now, it was his turn to taste the bitter fruit.

Seeing that Lydia's shoulders were trembling, he walked out of the room.

However, when he walked to the door, he paused, "Lydia, I am not so ruthless as to break your legs to take revenge on you."

With that, he walked out of the room.

When she heard the sound of footsteps getting further and further away, tears started to fall from Lydia's eyes.

She had never wanted to talk about her left leg, but today, she couldn't hold it in anymore. The anger in her heart had completely erupted!

That day, Lydia cried like a child.

After a long time, she finally calmed down.

However, when she raised her head and looked at the dishes on the table, she threw them all into the trash can. "Reece can be forgiven for his mistakes, but he can't be forgiven for his mistakes!"

At the same time, in the CEO's office.

When Reece returned to the office, his face was so gloomy that it looked like it was about to burst.

This scared Loran, who was eating instant noodles, so much that he didn't even dare to breathe.

What the hell was going on?

Didn't he just go out with his wife? Why did he come back with such a dark expression?

Could it be that he had been angered by that woman, Lydia?

"Ugh..."

Suddenly, a cold voice came from above his head. Loran shuddered in fear.

Loran's eyes met the man's bloodthirsty gaze. Suddenly, Loran's back tightened, and he even forgot to breathe. "What, what happened, sixth brother?"

"I asked you to investigate the reason why her left leg was injured. How did it go?"

"Ugh..." Loran's palms were sweating. He stared blankly at the man for a long time, not saying a single word.

"You didn't investigate?"

"There are a lot of things going on at the company recently, so I..."

Halfway through Loran's words, the man's eyes suddenly narrowed.

The coldness in his eyes almost made Loran's heart jump out of his chest. It was over, sixth brother was angry.

He swallowed his saliva and quickly explained, "Sixth brother, don't be angry. I'll go investigate tomorrow. I promise I'll find out in three days."

"Tomorrow!"

"Sixth brother, I'm not a god. I don't have that kind of ability." Loran smiled helplessly, hoping the man would give him more time.

The man expressionlessly said, "You are indeed not a god, but I don't mind turning you into a ghost!"

"What do you mean?" Loran was confused.

"If I don't see the results I want tomorrow, I don't mind turning you into a ghost."

Loran's voice was so cold that his body couldn't help but shiver when he heard it.

'Damn it, this...'

'Sixth Brother, are you really going to push me like this?'

'That woman, Lydia, has already provoked you. Why don't you come back and vent all your anger on me?'

'Damn it, it's so hard for me to say anything.'

He opened his mouth to say something, but when he saw the man's dark expression, he didn't dare to say anything.

'What else can I say?'

Loran lowered his shoulders and compromised, "Yes, I will give you a satisfactory answer tomorrow."
