My Paranoid Lover (Lance Mason) novel Chapter 23

Chapter 23 Winter’s Night guy?” I said. 

He scoffed and said nothing else.

On our way home, Lance seemed to be getting angrier and angrier. He chased me out of the car in the middle of the road and told me to go home myself. It was near 12pm in the winter night, how dare he asked a lady to get out of the car in the middle of nowhere!

“It’s late, dangerous for a woman like me.” I tried to explain.

“Do you think I care? Do you want me to throw you out?” he yelled.

“Do you think I’ll be able to call a cab at this hour?” I argued.

“Since you were trying to seduce young man back there, go! Ask them to drop you home.” He yelled back.

I didn’t want to argue further and I got down the car. He drove off and left me alone. I didn’t know who to call so I dialled Lawrence’s number. He was asleep, I shyly asked him to come pick me up. He asked me to stay right there and don’t move until he arrives.

When he arrived, I got into the car. I figured he must have noticed my evening gown and asked: “Jennie where did you go?”

“I attended a ball with Lance. I didn’t know what I did or said to make him so angry and threw me out of the car.”

Lawrence heard my story and looked mad. He punched the wheel and asked: “How could boss act this way? Doesn’t he know how dangerous this is?”

I smiled bitterly. “he must have wanted me to be in danger.”

My words shocked Lawrence. “Jennie, what is your relationship with him? He was never so cruel to any of the workers! He is a gentleman at work.”

I didn’t know how to explain our 20 year history to him. “nothing, I guess we are born to be like this.”

Lawrence sent me home, I wanted to invite him up to my place to celebrate my last few minutes of birthday but then I didn’t invite him. I didn’t want to put him in danger, Lance’s danger.

Before he left, he patted on my shoulder and said: “Jennie, if you ever need anything, I’m just a call away, alright?”

I was touched, I nodded and smiled.

I entered my condo and my phone rang. It was mom. I was so happy that she finally remembered my birthday.

I cried out happily: “Mom!”

Mom cried on the other side of the phone: “Jennie, Uncle Mason dumped me, he has a new woman out there!”
