Chapter 324 The subordinate couldn‘t help but ponder. ‘What has the conference got to do with you? Of course, it has everything to do with you! You‘re Mr. Langford‘s special woman, after all!‘
“Mr. Langford‘s conference will end in an hour. By then, you and your daughter can have breakfast together with him,” he reported. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
A while later, Kara woke up on the bed. Tina took the little girl to go wash up. After that, Kara rubbed her stomach and said sweetly,” Mommy, I‘m hungry. When can we eat?”
“We just have to wait for a while longer. Then, we can eat,” Tina replied. As she said that, anger rose within her. It was fine if Samuel intended to torture her, but why did her five–year–old daughter have to suffer from hunger as well? Not intending to wait any longer, Tina barged into the kitchen right away. “Miss Lynd! You‘re sick right now, so you can‘t enter the kitchen.” “That‘s right. The greasy fumes won‘t do your health any good.” “We can‘t afford to take the responsibility if you collapsed because of the fumes.” Tina was so furious that she couldn‘t help but laugh mockingly. “Is this what Samuel ordered you to do? Did he tell you to stop me from entering the kitchen? He wants me to wait till his conference is over before I‘m permitted to eat with him? No problem! I‘m fine with that. After all, I‘m freeloading off him. Whatever he says is the law here, so I won‘t protest at all. However, Kara‘s just a five–year–old girl! She‘s in the midst of growing and developing right now! Why are you this heartless to make her starve with me? This is a little too cruel even by Samuel‘s standards, right?” The subordinates were stunned when they heard Tina‘s accusations. “Um... Miss Lynd, we didn‘t mean it like that...” At that moment, a man‘s cold voice drifted from the spiral staircase not far away from the group “Tina! What the hell are you up to this time?” Tina looked in Samuel‘s direction immediately, her fists already curled into tight balls. The sight of his arrogant and cold appearance made her want to mock him right there and then. However, she knew this wasn‘t the time.
She took a deep breath before bowing her head and explaining, “I’m not planning anything. At first, we wanted to wait till your conference is over so we can dine together. But Kara‘s so young that she gets hungry very easily. That‘s why I wanted to enter the kitchen and look for snacks.”
Samuel frowned instinctively. “Since when did I tell you to wait for me?” Tina choked on her words, her fists growing tighter in response. The subordinate who had talked to Tina earlier explained frantically, “Mr. Langford, it‘s all my fault! I decided to take things into my own hands by telling Miss Lynd that she and her daughter should wait for you to eat together. I didn‘t expect that the conference would be prolonged...” Samuel‘s cold gaze flitted over to that subordinate‘s trembling form. “You took things into your own hands, huh?”
The subordinate was so frightened that his knees buckled together and he instantly sank down to his knees. “Mr. Langford, I‘m willing to receive my punishment!”
Watching the trite performance put on by Samuel and the subordinate, Tina could only laugh coldly.
The former was willing to go to such lengths just to torture her even more! She didn‘t say anything about it. Instead, she asked softly, “Can I call Kara over for breakfast
now?”
Samuel looked at Tina. Noticing how obedient and meek she looked, he looked away coldly. “Go ahead.”
The servants worked quickly. The moment Samuel‘s conference had ended, the dining table was laden with hot, steaming food.
Kara was so hungry that her stomach kept growling the whole time. She was starving to the point that she could swallow a cow whole. However, the sight of the man sitting at the head seat frightened her. She whispered to Tina softly, “Mommy, why is
