Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 407

“Susan, it is entirely your fault! You aren’t supposed to blame any other person but yourself. You claim to have made a lot of money for the company, don’t you? Well, we have made negotiations with the other companies. Now the only thing you have got to do is to pay for liquidated damages. And as regards paying the money, the ball is in your court. We are not going to force you.” 

“No, help me!” Susan pleaded. Her eyes had turned red.

 “Becky, there has got to be another way.”

 “I’ve warned you!” Becky stared at her unemotionally. 

“Did I not tell you to behave yourself and not cause any trouble again? But you refused to take heed.”

“I’m truly sorry. I know I was wrong. But please help me.” Susan grabbed Becky’s hand and cried.

 “You are the only one who can come to my rescue right now. There has to be something you can do!” 

“No, there isn’t.” Becky pulled herself free from Susan’s grip and stepped back.

 “I can do nothing to help you.” And in no time, the hope in Susan’s eyes faded away the letter of termination. There is another reason.” 

After a brief pause, Becky said word by word, “From now on, I cease to be your agent! The company has decided that all your current activities will be cancelled. As for when you can start working again, we don’t know yet.” 

As a matter of fact, Becky had put it euphemistically. There were only three words in the email sent by the company. “No more activities.”

“I have nothing more to say to you. So have a nice day.” 

“No!” Susan stuttered. However, Becky left without looking back. Out of desperation, Susan threw the things in her hands to the floor. 

After coming out of the ward, Becky went straight to the elevator which stopped on the same floor. When the elevator doors opened, a man walked out hurriedly. He was wearing a hat and a mask. His attention was most likely elsewhere because he ran straight into Becky.

 “Sorry ma’am…I’m very sorry,” he said.

The impact of the collision was quite strong. Becky’s shoulder was hit really hard and she staggered backwards as a result. The man’s eyes showed that he was surprised. And he quickly reached out to hold her.

Becky rubbed her shoulder with one hand. Thereafter, she released the other one from his grip.

 “I’m fine.” But she still seemed light-headed as she walked into the elevator.

The man still felt bad for what happened. He turned around, bowed to Becky and said, “I’m really sorry.”

Then, the man stood upright again. But the hat on his head fell off because of his movements.

Becky caught sight of the upper part of the man’s face.

He looked very familiar. But she couldn’t remember where exactly she had seen him prior to this very moment. While she thought about it, the elevator doors slowly closed before her.

On the other hand, when the man noticed that his hat had fallen off, he quickly picked it up and put it on again. He didn’t turn around and walk forward until the elevator doors were closed. He unconsciously lowered his head and covered his eyes with the brim of his hat. The elevator continued to go downwards until it eventually stopped at the underground parking lot of the inpatient building. When Becky came out of the elevator, a thought flashed through her mind. She suddenly remembered who the man was! Dr. Turner.

Victor was right. Dr. Turner was still in Apliaria.

Dr. Turner had watched the video on the Internet. It dawned on him that he couldn’t keep what he had done a secret anymore. The doctor also knew that Victor would send people to look for him.

In an attempt to confuse Victor, he asked for an annual leave and packed all the things in his house. It looked as if he wanted to escape from Apliaria.

He rented a small room in a slum with a mixed population in the suburb with two times the normal rent. He had been paying attention to Susan on the Internet.
