Chapter 1764 Afraid Of Water
âMr. Lindberg!â
Noticing something off about Danriqueâs expression, Sean quickly followed him, but not before
giving a female subordinate his order. âGet her out of there. Make sure she doesn't die.â
"Yes, sir.â The woman hurriedly went to rescue Francesca.
Meanwhile, Danrique removed all the needles from his body and returned to his room in a fury. He
then put on his bathrobe, sat on the couch, and sipped on a glass of cold wine.
His eyes continued to burn with rage. That d*mned woman! How dare she...
"What happened?â
Gordon rushed over and was just about to report to Danrique when Sean stopped him.
Sean then leaned over to describe what had just happened, causing Gordon to pale in shock.
"What? That was Mr. Lindbergâs first kissâ"
âShhhh!â Sean hastily covered the other manâs mouth. âYou have a death wish or something?â
Upon realizing he had said something out of line, Gordon scanned his surroundings nervously. Did
he hear me? No? Okay. Guess I'm safe.
Sean let go and gritted his teeth. âI leave Mr. Lindberg for just one moment, and that woman makes
a move on him,â he remarked softly. âIt's no wonder I've been having this strange feeling about her.
I thought she was only after the money or that she was sent by our enemies to spy on us, but I
never thought...â
"D*mn! I can't believe a tomboy like her tried to seduce Mr. Lindberg!â Gordon raged. âAnd more
importantly, she actually succeeded?â
âMr. Lindbergâs never been around women, so there are rumors saying heâs into men. Maybe that's
why she was the perfect candidate to approach Mr. Lindberg,â Sean lamented. âIt's all my fault. Why
did I walk away? I should've kept an eye on her.â
âNo.â Gordon grew increasingly confused. âThe point is that her face is so ruined that she's kept it
wrapped all this while. No one knows what she even looks like! So, why did Mr. Lindberg still...â
"Maybe it's because he's never actually been with a woman. So when one finally tries to make a
move on him, I guess he just...â Sean pondered. âWell, Mr. Lindbergâs twenty-seven, but heâs never
even touched a woman's hand. So I can kind of understand why this happened.â
Gordon wasn't having it. âThat tomboy is full of tricks. She can't stay. I'm going to kick her out now.â
âWait.â Sean quickly stopped him. âMr. Lindberg hasn't been cured yet. Besides, I was there when it
happened. He looked like he enjoyed it, but I'm not sure what he was thinking. What if he calms
down and asks for that woman only to learn that you've thrown her out?â
âGood point.â Gordon had always been more rash, unlike the meticulous Sean. âWhat should we do,
then?â
âLet's just wait and see what Mr. Lindberg has to say.â Sean couldn't help but worry as he stared at
the tightly shut door. âPoor Mr. Lindberg. He's probably feeling depressed now after getting his first
kiss robbed by that tomboy.â
âSeriously. I can't believe this!â Gordon fumed.
Meanwhile, the female subordinate carried an unconscious Francesca into the building.
After a series of struggles, the bandages on Francesca's face had come loose, and a small part of her
face could now be seen.
Her body was completely soaked, and the outline of her charming figure was now clear as day.
Regardless, all the men kept their gazes low, not daring to sneak a peek at her.
In any case, their boss was now considered to have touched her, so nobody dared to even let their
eyes wander.
Before long, the female subordinate brought Francesca back to her room so the nurses and maids
could take care of her. âShe's unconscious. Should we get a doctor to see her?â the subordinate
asked.
"Why should we? Isn't she a doctor herself?â Gordon snapped.
Sean, on the other hand, was more rational. âThat doesn't mean she can treat herself. Get a female
doctor to tend to her.â
âUnderstood.â The female subordinate immediately did as instructed.
"Did she seriously pass out after choking on some hot spring water?â Gordon was dumbstruck. âIs
she that afraid of water?â
