My Paranoid Lover (Lance Mason) novel Chapter 78

Chapter 78 Crime 

Lance stopped on his way when he heard what Rupert Robinson said, he turned around and smirked at him.” Why should I be afraid? Shouldn’t you be afraid, Mr Robinson?”

Rupert Robinson was affected by the words of Lance; I could see that his blood ran cold even though I was standing far away from him. When I turned to look at Lance, his face showed ‘I didn’t do anything dirty.’ But I didn’t believe him.

Rupert Robinson then said, “You are right, Mr. Mason, I am afraid. The mayor has been captured and I believe that he will tell everyone everything very soon. You really don’t worry about that?”

Lance laughed at his words, “Why would I worry about that? I didn’t do anything illegal. I did some business with you, Mr. Robinson, but everything was legal. If you have so many time, why don’t you find some way to save yourself before the mayor tells the world everything, instead of trying to pull me into this dirty water?”

I saw Rupert’s blood run cold again.

“What do you mean, Lance Mason!” He shouted and blocked our way.

Lance led me away from him, Rupert shouted again behind us, “If anything ever happens to me, I will tell all the dirty things you have done behind the closed door, Lance Mason!”

Lance laughed at his threat.

He held my hand and brought me our table.

Lance looked at the menu and ordered some food. After that, he passed the menu to me and said, “Order anything that you like. This restaurant is quite famous here, you’ve never been here before?”

I look at the decorations of the restaurant, the food here must be expensive. One meal here can cost me a whole month’s worth of living cost. But I didn’t tell him.

“I was busy with study back then, and after that, I was busy with work. So, I didn’t really have much time to enjoy meals. I would just simply eat, anything was fine to me.” I explained.

Lance wasn’t pleased with my explanation, “You should know how to enjoy life. Life is short.”

I laughed bitterly to myself. Poor people like us don’t have the chance to enjoy life like the rich.

“You are right, brother. We should know to enjoy our lives.” I said and looked at him while smiling. “But brother you don’t know how to enjoy your life even though you have a lot of money.”

He was amused at my words and asked, “Why would you say so?”

“You are so busy that you don’t even have time to sleep, let alone enjoy it. Mason’s Company is a huge company, you need to make decisions for everything every day. I don’t

even get to see you smile most of the time. To be honest, you are not happy, brother.”

I heard a sharp noise. Lance put down the glass in his hands hardly on the table.

“Who do you think you are, acting like you know me?!” He growled.

placed my hands on my lap and started to tap my fingers against my lap.

I tilted my head up and said bravely, “You are right, I am no one to you. I know you never see me as your woman. I am just a toy to you, you have warned me many times, won’t forget that.”

He looked into my eyes and looked like he was going to say something but he didn’t.

We remained silent until the food was served.

All the foods on the table were dishes that I have never seen in my life.

Lance put some food on my plate and I smiled at him, “Thank you, brother!”

After lunch, we exited the restaurant. There is a shopping mall opposite the restaurant.

Lance said to buy some new clothes because Spring is coming. But I said I still have a lot of new clothes, so I don’t need to buy new clothes.

Lance looked at me weirdly and I quickly explained myself. “I just don’t want to bother you since you are busy. You can give me your card; I can go to the mall by myself.”

Lance gave me his card, “The pin is 111111, I have a meeting later, I will ask the driver to come fetch you later.”

I took the card and nodded. I stood on my tip toe and gave him a slight peck on his lips.

Lance was stunned by my action; I looked at him nervously and I saw him smile slowly afterwards. He reached out his hands to stroke my hair and asked me to go and be careful. I then said goodbye to him.
