Lance looked at me coughing like mad, tears forming. He grinned and threw his cigar in the ash tray.
He grabbed my chin and raised my head. “Sick right? You are really pale, what’s your sickness?”
I pushed his hands way, holding myself up on the desk and continue coughing. The smell of the smoke
really wanted my life.
“I think you just miss someone very badly.” Lance sat one his leather chair and put both his legs on the
desk, saying.
I ignored him, trying to stand up. Then, I caught a glimpse of the Lay Water Park project file.
Lay Water Park was the biggest project ever in California. The government was preparing for the
project, the budget was one hundred million. I estimated that the total share market would be worth one
billion dollars.
I didn’t dare stare at the project for too long as I was afraid that Lance would notice. I stood up and
looked at him. “I was bitten by a dog and went to the hospital to get myself cleaned up and get rid of
the virus.”
Lance didn’t get what I meant and asked win confusion: “You really got bitten by a
dog?”
“Yes.” Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
In the afternoon, Lawrence brought me along to the cite to have a look. We improved the sketch again
and again, since this was a huge project, it needed to me improved many times for it to be perfect.
Lawrence drove his car, but he noticed my pale face and slowed down.
I leaded against the seat, closing my eyes to rest.
“Jennie, can I ask you something?” Lawrence spoke up out of a sudden.
I opened my eyes and smiled at him. “Yes?”
Lawrence hesitated for a brief moment and finally asked: “What’s your relationship with boss? Why is
he always trying to make your life hard?”
I laughed. “It’s not like he does it on purpose, I guess je’s just used to it.”
S
Lawrence didn’t understand and asked: “What do you mean by he is used to it?”

I sighed. “Are you curious that why a small designer like me would suddenly come to the Mason’s and
even forced to take part in such a huge project? Plus, my office is just beside Lance Mason’s.”
Lawrence blushed and nodded, “Yea, I find it strange, it felt like you and boss knew each other for
many years already.”
I scoffed. “Wow, you can see that, let’s just say we are enemies. It’s hard to explain but just so we are
clear, Lance and I are not in any kind of relationship that you are suspicious of.”
I didn’t want to explain further, so Lawrence didn’t ask anymore.
We reached the factory and tried to change the sketch here and there again. We discussed the
important things, as first it was Lawrence doing the talking. I didn’t want to say much as I wasn’t good
in this area.
Lawrence encouraged me and I said a little.
After improving a few office rooms of the cite on the sketch, Lawrence complimented me. “Jennie, you
are one of the most talented female interior designers I have ever met. Your pick-up skills is genius
level! You are smart!”
“Thank you but I’m still not as good as you said.” I smiled awkwardly.
We still had some improving to do but I couldn’t take it anymore. My vision became black suddenly
Theard Lawrence’s concerned voice calling out for me: “Jennie, Jennie! Are you
okay?”
Then I heard Lance’s voice yelling at Lawrence: “What happened to her?”
Lawrence said he didn’t know.
After that, I couldn’t hear anything anymore and went unconscious.
When I woke up, I smelled the disinfectant and medicine. I was in the hospital.
Strange, Lance Mason was sitting beside my bed, his eyes were bloody red, like he was trying to calm
his anger. He glared at me angrily as if he wanted to punch me hard on the face.
“Do you know why you fainted?” he asked.
Of course I knew why I fainted. I just underwent an abortion surgery.
“Lance Mason, what are you trying to say?” I didn’t even bother to play dumb anymore.

“The child was mine?” he asked straight away.
