Pampered Wedding Marry Me, Mr. Langford

Chapter 22

Cynthia decided that she would use Victor to destroy Tina!

After all, he was the most convenient blade she had at the moment!

***

The first image that Tina saw was a doctor approaching her with a syringe, which left her, bristling in fear.

“What are you doing?! Don’t touch me!”

“Don’t worry, Miss Lynd,” the doctor assured her. “You’re safe now!”

It was only then that Tina looked around her and finally realized that she had been rescued. Gathering the fragments of memory she had before losing consciousness, she asked, “Did Samuel Langford save me?”

“Yes. In fact, Mr. Langford himself brought you here,” the doctor replied. “You were drifting i n and out of consciousness while nursing a high fever at the time, but you kept holding his hand-he waited until you fell asleep before leaving.”

Tina was left dumbstruck. Samuel had been staying with her?

“W-Where is he now?” she asked nervously. “When is he coming back?”

Since Samuel had saved her life, she must thank him.

“That, we don’t know.” The doctor shook his head.

After Tina rested for the night, she received an unfriendly call from her manager early the next morning. “Why aren’t you at work, Tina Lynd?! Did you think you can skip work just because Mr. Jackson tipped you last night?! Don’t forget who gave you this chance!”

“I’m sorry, sir, but I had a little accident and was injured… Could I take a few days off?”

“Sure!” the manager replied, but even before Tina could be glad about it, he added darkly,” Rest as much as you want-you’re fired in an hour if I still don’t see your face! Remember, no other hotel would take in a slacker like you, let alone ours!”

“Sir—”Tina tried to explain, but the manager hung up on her even before she could explain.

Since she couldn’t afford to lose her job, Tina had no other choice. Moreover, all she had were flesh wounds anyway and no internal injuries, so she discharged herself from the hospital.

Nonetheless, Sandy showed up at the hospital once she left, asking the nurse at the front desk, “Where is Miss Lynd? Mr. Langford is asking to see her.”

The nurse checked the records and replied, “I’m sorry, but she discharged herself not long ago and has already left…”

Sandy thought he was hearing things. “What?! She’s seriously hurt, but she left just like

that?!”

“Well, she said that she’s in a rush to get to work…”

Get to work?

Sandy then remembered the information he had gathered the previous night-Tina was working as an attendant at a hotel.

“Alright, got it.”

He turned and left post-haste.

After all, he would have to take responsibility if he wasted a single second of Samuel’s time.

***

The manager scolded Tina for half an hour when she finally reached the hotel, and fined her two month’s worth of pay for losing the electric scooter that the hotel used for deliveries.

Tina would cry if she had any tears. She had recently gotten this job and had yet to be paid, but now she already had two months worth of salary deducted!

Still, she felt fortunate that she was alive-being broke was still better than being dead!

Even as she reassured herself inwardly, she went to the lobby to receive some guests.

According to the manager, they were receiving VIPs today, and she might get tipped if she was lucky.

And yet…

When she saw that the guests alighting from the car were the Lynds, Tina cursed her misfortune and kept her head down as she whispered to her colleague beside her, “I’m feeling a little sick. I’m stepping out for a moment…”
