leave quickly.
| knew she was worried about dragginginto this, but | couldn't leave. She was my employee, and if | couldn't

"Lynn, you're still not off work?"
She gave an awkward smile. "I'll be done in a moment. You should wait outside."
"I've been working all day outside. I'll just sit inside and wait for you. Hurry up and get ready. We'll go home
together."

There were two of them, and one was a professional fighter. | would be at a disadvantage if it cdown to a

When Maximus saw me, his eyes widened, then he furrowed his brow. "Brat... You look a bit like that guy."

| tried to act like | didn't understand the situation. | tried my best to downplay the situation to avoid any
escalation. Unfortunately, they weren't buying it.
"Pursuing?" Upon hearing my words, Maximus laughed loudly.

expression.
"Mr. Donovan, stop talking nonsense!"

"Nonsense? Who in the underworld doesn't know your identity? You've been with one big shot after another. Your
reputation's long been out there. Everyone knows your measurements. And recently wasn't it Mr. McVee who
specifically asked for you?"
Her face turned even more ashen, but she couldn't find anything to rebut.
| was surprised. | had always known that she had scomplicated relationships with men. But | assumed that
srich guy was just supporting her or perhaps was someone's mistress.
| never imagined she would be involved in this kind of activity.
But even if that were the case, it had nothing to do with me. She was my employee, and my only concern was
