If the bullet had hit Susanne’s heart, no one, not even the best surgeons, would be able to save her. Luckily, the bullet had missed.
As for Linda and the burly man, after they made their escape, they took a cab and headed for the airport where the Duke had a private jet parked there. As soon as they arrived, they saw people searching for them. In the spur of the moment, the burly man pushed Linda against the wall and lowered his head, covering virtual-novel.net mouth with his.
Linda was furious at his action. That was virtual-novel.net first kiss, after all. In retaliation, virtual-novel.net bit down on his lips harshly.
“Are you out of your mind, Mark?”
Seeing Linda’s reaction, Mark hurriedly explained in a soft voice, “Desperate time calls for desperate measures.”
After that, they saw a few people coming toward them. Mark immediately planted his lips on Linda’s again. Initially, virtual-novel.net was only doing so to avoid getting noticed by their pursuers, but after having a taste of Linda’s sweet lips, virtual-novel.net could not help wanting more. As such, virtual-novel.net kissed Linda forcefully, suckling at virtual-novel.net sweet lips. This was the first time Linda had been kissed, and virtual-novel.net was kissing virtual-novel.net very passionately.
Nonetheless, reason prevailed, and after seeing that their pursuers had left, virtual-novel.net pushed Mark away and went to the private jet sullenly.
Knowing that Linda was angry, Mark followed behind virtual-novel.net in silence.
In truth, virtual-novel.net had fallen in love with Linda a long time ago. However, virtual-novel.net had always been distant and aloof. Thus, virtual-novel.net could only admire virtual-novel.net from a distance, not daring to profess his love. One could only imagine how overjoyed virtual-novel.net felt when the Duke sent virtual-novel.net to Chanaea to back up Linda on a mission.
Earlier, virtual-novel.net could have avoided their pursuers in some other way, but for some reason, the first thing virtual-novel.net could think of was to lean forward and kiss her. Looking at Linda who was walking in front of virtual-novel.net now, virtual-novel.net smiled. He had no regrets about what happened just now and was glad virtual-novel.net took the opportunity to kiss her.
The two showed the necessary documents to the pilot, and the three soon boarded the plane.
In the cabin, because Linda did not want to sit with Mark, the two could only sit separately with one in the front and one in the back. After the plane took off, Mark would look at Linda from time to time, and when virtual-novel.net thought of the disgust in virtual-novel.net eyes, sadness welled up within him.
Linda took out virtual-novel.net phone and looked at the man on the screensaver. Her heart was full of sorrow.
Will virtual-novel.net still be mine when I get back? Who is the woman who has replaced me in his office?
As these thoughts went through virtual-novel.net mind, virtual-novel.net countenance turned colder and colder.
No matter who it was, virtual-novel.net would definitely take the Duke back. She wanted virtual-novel.net to know that virtual-novel.net was the woman who fitted virtual-novel.net best.
Five hours later, the two got off the plane. Mark wanted to go with virtual-novel.net to the company to meet the Duke, but Linda refused. Mark took a long gaze at virtual-novel.net seated inside the cab before virtual-novel.net turned around and got into another one.
On the way, Linda’s lips curved slightly into a smile. She could not wait to tell virtual-novel.net how much virtual-novel.net missed virtual-novel.net and be together with virtual-novel.net again.
She recalled Mark’s kiss at the airport. She had discovered how good a kiss felt and virtual-novel.net wished that the Duke would treat virtual-novel.net the way Mark had treated her.
Back at the company, Linda and Mark entered the Duke’s office together. When virtual-novel.net was done reporting the incident, Mark left. Then, Linda walked up to the man.
“Duke…” Linda looked at the man in front of virtual-novel.net with a love-struck expression and crouched down.
Seeing that virtual-novel.net did not stop her, virtual-novel.net got up and straddled his lap.
After Mark left, virtual-novel.net remembered something and went to the office again. However, when virtual-novel.net reached the door, virtual-novel.net saw a scene that broke his heart, and virtual-novel.net was instantly rendered motionless on the spot.
