Pampered Wedding Marry Me, Mr. Langford

Chapter 41

Tina gasped, filled with disbelief. “I didn’t do anything!”

“Samuel… This really is a misunderstanding…” Cindy explained weakly.

“I don’t want to repeat myself!” Samuel barked indignantly.

Tina straightened her back, upset. “Why do I have to apologize? I didn’t do anything wrong!”

“You!” Samuel was seething.

Cindy was dumbfounded as well.

“How dare she defy Samuel’s orders?’ she thought, stunned.

At the same time, she felt proud of herself. Based on Samuel’s actions, she knew that she held an important place in his heart.

“Mr. Langford, Mr. Carter’s here,” Sandy informed, cutting them off.

Samuel didn’t want to cause a scene with outsiders around. Thus, he had no choice but to compromise.

“Sandy, escort Mr. Carter to the conference room. Send Miss Young home after that.” He then glanced at Tina and warned coldly, “Don’t do it again.”

Having said that, he strode away in a huff. A man whose demeanor was a stark contrast to him arrived right after. Dressed in a suit and tie, he seemed like a person with a kind and gentle disposition.

“Hello, Mr. Carter,” Cindy greeted the newcomer sweetly.

John Carter nodded politely in response. Immediately after, his eyes were drawn to Tina.

For some reason, this woman felt oddly familiar to him. It was as if…

His heart skipped a beat as he stopped in his tracks. Turning his attention to her, he asked, “ Hello, have we met before?”

Tina didn’t expect Mr. Carter to talk to her. She quickly shook her head in response.

“I don’t think we’ve met before.” Tina had only seen John twice. The first time was at Loving Heart Orphanage, and the second time was at Samuel’s private residence.

Plus, Mr. Carter shouldn’t be able to recognize her as she was only watching him from afar during those two encounters.

When Tina replied, her voice cracked slightly from sobbing just now. John frowned, his face darkening somewhat. He didn’t know why, but something broke inside him when he saw Tina’s red and puffy eyes.

She reminded him of his long-lost sister, Coco Carter, who would always cry at the slightest discomfort.

He loved his sister deeply, more than anything. Alas, she was no longer by his side.

Lost in his reverie, he subconsciously coaxed her, “There, there, I’m here. Don’t cry, okay?”

Before John knew it, he was reaching out and attempting to wipe the tears off Tina’s cheeks.

Tina was stunned, not expecting the gesture. She backed off immediately and maintained a comfortable distance from John.

“I’m alright,” she said, her eyes reflecting defensiveness.

Sandy, who was standing next to them, made a timely interjection. “Mr. Carter, Mr. Langford is waiting for you inside.”

Noticing his inappropriate actions , John returned to his senses. The woman in front of him wasn’t his sister, but Samuel’s employee. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

He sent Tina an apologetic smile.

“I’m sorry. I was preoccupied with my thoughts just now. I didn’t realize my actions would cause discomfort to you,” he explained. He paused before adding “What’s your name, miss?”

“Tina Lynd.”

“Tina Lynd…” When Samuel heard that, disappointment rose inside him.

‘Weird. What was I expecting?’

John shook away the messy thoughts in his head and reached for the napkin in the pocket on his suit before stuffing it into Tina’s hand.

“This is for you.”

Before Tina could refuse his offer, John had turned to leave as he followed Sandy into the conference room.

“Miss Lynd, I’m sorry for the misunderstanding just now,” Cindy said pretentiously as she approached Tina, still putting on the innocent act.

“It’s alright, I know you didn’t do it on purpose.” Tina shook her head. “I’ll head back to work now.”

Looking at Tina’s disappearing back, Cindy gnashed her teeth in jealousy. ‘What a scheming woman!

When Cindy recalled the time Tina was with John, she couldn’t get over how close they

seemed.
