Secretary’s Secret Lover By Zayla Quinn Chapter 158 Pretend to Be His Girlfriend

While Yvette was still in shock, Lance had already hung up the phone.

He looked at her and said coldly, “I also need to go to the place where he asked you out.”

Then, without a word, Lance picked her up.

Yvette was caught off guard. She bumped into his chest and then bounced back. She was so scared that she

immediately reached out and wrapped her arm around Lance’s neck.

There would be people constantly passing by. Yvette was embarrassed. She grabbed the button of his suit

and whispered, “Put me down.”

“I am in a hurry. You are too slow.”

Yvette was speechless. “If you are in a hurry, you should go about your business. I don’t need you to send me

there.”

However, Lance ignored her words and went to the parking lot quickly. He opened the car door and stuffed

her into the passenger seat.

Yvette did not want to stay with him. She reached out to unfasten the seat belt and tried to open the door,

but the door was locked.

She turned to look at Lance. “Please open the door.”

“Aren’t you going on a date?” Lance glanced at her.

Just as Yvette was about to speak, she saw Lance’s face darken as he said coldly, “You will get there faster if

I sent you over.”

Seeing his cold and dangerous gaze, Yvette thought that he more likely wanted to say, “You will die faster if I

sent you over.”

Yvette dared not to speak.

Lance had one hand on the steering wheel, but he did not start the car.

He asked, “If I did not come over, are you going to tell grandpa about our divorce?”

Yvette did not answer. Although she did not say it, she did have a plan to do so.

Lance forced a smile and said, “Good for you, Yvette. You can even ignore grandpa’s health just to be with

another man.”

But to Yvette, Jaiden seemed to be in good form and his condition was not as serious as Lance said.

She said, “Lance, are you going to hide it from grandpa for the rest of your life? I have already sounded out

Jaiden’s attitude. It was possible for him to accept this fact.”

Lance looked more and more dejected as Yvette spoke.

Finally.

Slap!

He slammed the reports on the center console.

And then he said fiercely, “Look what it says!”

Lance was so angry that he slammed the reports quite hard, even two pieces of paper scratched the side of

Yvette’s face.

The sharp edges of the paper instantly scraped a red mark on Yvette’s face, making her feel a little pain.

Yvette didn’t say anything. She picked up the reports and took a look.

On them were written premature ventricular contraction, multiple organ failure…

Yvette saw many medical terms that she didn’t understand, but she knew that it meant Jaiden’s condition

was not good.

Soon, her eyes turned red and her tears dripped onto the paper.

When Lance saw her tears, he paused for a moment. The anger in his heart dissipated a lot.

He couldn’t help but wonder whether his tone was a little too harsh just now.

When he saw the scratches on her face, Lance frowned. He couldn’t help but reach out to ask her if it hurt.

However, when Yvette saw him reach out, her face immediately changed. She blocked his touch with her

hand and quickly said, “I’m sorry. I won’t say it again.”

Lance’s hand froze in mid-air. He didn’t know whether he should continue or put it down.

What was that look on her face?

Did she think that he would hit her?

No matter how angry Lance had been, he had never hurt her at all. Why would she think that he would hit

her?

Immediately, Lance felt a dull pain in his chest.

The next second, Yvette said, “I promise you not to tell Jaiden about it, but I don’t want to pretend to be in

The car stopped in front of Charlie like 0.5 inches away.

Yvette’s face turned pale, and so did Charlie, but the change on his face disappeared in a flash.

Yvette still felt her heart in her throat.

This psycho!

Yvette picked up her phone and did not bother to say anything before she opened the car door and got off.

However, her legs went weak as soon as she stepped on the ground. Fortunately, Charlie quickly supported

her.

Yvette didn’t have any strength as she leaned in Charlie’s arms.

Although it was rude, she still couldn’t get up when both her legs were soft.

“Are you alright?” Charlie’s gentle voice sounded above her head.

He looked over and met Lance’s gaze.

If Lance could shoot a bullet with his eyes, Charlie would have already turned into a corpse.

Yvette’s hands that were grabbing Charlie’s shirt were trembling slightly.

Compared to Lance, who would start racing when he got mad, Charlie waiting for her here made her feel

safer.

After a while, Yvette stood up straight and apologized, “Sorry, I was a little dizzy just now.”

“It’s fine.”

Charlie reached out to gently cover her back and said, “Let’s get in.”

After sitting down and drinking a cup of hot coffee, Yvette finally came back to her senses.

What Charlie told her shocked her.

Charlie had fallen out with his family because of the girl he liked, so he moved out and started his business. Now his business hit a bottleneck, his parents wanted him to go back to their company. But Charlie didn’t want to have a business marriage. So he wanted to ask Yvette to pretend to be his girlfriend tonight and have a meal with his parents, who came back from abroad.

Charlie tried to beat about the bush, but Yvette could tell that he was actually fired by IA Investment Bank

because of Lance.

Other companies would not want to hire him if he was fired by IA Investment Bank.

However, Charlie did not want to compromise with his family. He still wanted to wait for that girl he loved, and he had no choice but to turn to Yvette.

Anyway, Charlie was in trouble because of her.

Yvette felt sorry for that. Just as she was about to speak, she caught a glimpse of Lance walking in from the corner of her eye. Her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
