Chapter 1520
Spoiled by Mr. Russell
"Mike, I feel like Iâve only just started to know you today.You're truly somebody, arenât you?" Lily said it coldly and backed into the elevator.
"You're right.Since I already quit, I shouldn't be here.I'll leave right now, so I won't be putting you two on the spot."
"Donât go!"
Taken aback, Rhea tried to pull her, but Lilyâs wrist easily shifted to dodge her grasp.
"Itâs not up to him to make the decision!"
Rhea spoke angrily as she looked at Lily.
"Donât you want to take a look at my workplace? Donât you want to look for what youâve left behind and see what you want to see?"Her words were extremely tempting and yet felt like a trap.
Lily let out a half-smile.
"I wanted to, but not anymore.Mr.Corden is right.This involves your secrets, and I shouldnât ask too much about it.Goodbye!"
She pressed the button on the elevator.
"Donât go!"
Rhea tried to stop her, but Mike dragged her back.
Caught off-guard, Rhea knocked into him.
Missing the elevator, she saw the elevator doors shut.
"Mike!"
Glaring over her shoulder, Rhea was enraged.Mike slowly let go of her hand with an indifferent look.
"Do you know what youâve done?"
Rhea felt like tearing him apart as she stared at him.
Reason told her that she could not do so just yet, but anger overwhelmed her.
âThis man is such a nuisance!â Mike blandly threw her a sidelong glance.
"I can ask you the same thing.If I had not stopped you, what would you have done? Trap her here in the building? How many more people are you trying to imprison in the building?"
"She knows a lot about perfumery, kickboxing, and herbal medicine, so her brain must be different than those of ordinary people and could produce an unusual lab result thatâs worth studying! You just destroyed my plan!"
Clenching her fists, Rhea wished she could punch his face.
"Are we all just specimens to you? Not human beings?"
Turning around to face her, Mike slightly narrowed his eyes and sized up the petite woman, who was only as tall as his shoulders.
âFrankly speaking, if I see her on the street, Iâd only think sheâs a pretty and arrogant woman.I would never imagine her to be filled with sick ideas on experiments and so cold-hearted."
"So what?"
Raising her brow, Rhea did not think there was anything wrong with her.
"Whatâs the difference between human beings and animals? Theyâre all insignificant in the universe.Why can animals be specimens and not human beings?"
Slightly shaking his head, Mike continued, "Then what kind of specimen am I to you?"
Her beautiful fox-like eyes stared unwaveringly at him, Rhea slightly stood on her toes and craned her head as she said bluntly, "
Well, one day I'd love to crack your head open and see whatâs inside!â "Then you might not have the chance for the rest of your life."
Mike said as he curled his lips.
"Itâs hard to say.Weâll have to wait and see, wonât we?"
Rhea turned and strode off.
Staring after the woman as she receded into the darkness, Mike slowly narrowed his eyes.
Lily felt relieved when she stepped out of the elevator and saw daylight.
