Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 172

Lily laughed, not bothering to hide her true thoughts. "I do admire Mr. Chandler, but I don't know much about him. I hope Ms. Mayhew can help me by revealing Mr. Chandler's preferences."

Helen politely responded with a smile. "Ms. Lily, you must be joking. I'm just a subordinate who dares not speculate on the boss' matters. If Ms. Lily has no other instructions, I'll go now. I'll come back after you're done."

As Helen was about to leave, Lily stopped her. "Ms. Mayhew seems unwilling to talk about Mr. Chandler with me. But you haven't heard me out yet and you already want to leave. What a shame."

Helen remained composed. "What else do you have to say, Ms. Lily?"

Lily didn't speak but instead looked at Helen up and down. After a while, she said, "Name your price. Whatever I can promise you, I will do it. I can even keep this a secret from your boss. He doesn't have to know about it."

Helen's face had no emotions as she stated, "Stop joking, Ms. Lily. I believe there's nothing between us except work matters. I'm sorry, Ms. Lily, I'll take my leave."

This time, Helen left without hesitation. Lily was left behind feeling very displeased and stared angrily at Helen's retreating figure.

After Helen came out, she breathed a sigh of relief. She had finally managed to get rid of Lily, but this woman was indeed quite peculiar. Normally, when women made advances, they did it in a demanding manner, but Lily was quite straightforward about it.

Helen walked away and discovered a pavilion garden in front of the hot spring resort. She found a swing and sat down.

She was completely unaware of the danger that was quietly approaching her. Helen gently swung on the swing, but the next moment, something green darted toward her, startling her into a scream.

After seeing what it was, her face instantly turned pale. "Snake… Snake…" she stammered.

If there was one thing Helen feared the most in the world, it would undoubtedly be snakes. Now, a living snake was less than a foot away from her, causing her to tremble in fear.

However, Helen was still in shock, holding onto Chandler tightly. Chandler narrowed his eyes, wanting to push her away, but he couldn't.

Tyrone waved to signal the security guard to follow him, then said to Chandler, "I'll go first."

With that, Tyrone left, leaving Helen and Chandler in the pavilion. After a while, she slowly peeked out, looked around, and found no trace of the snake. Finally, she felt her fear subside.

"It's okay now," Chandler said to her.

Helen raised her eyes and met his gaze. It was only then that she realized how ambiguous their current situation was. Helen quickly backed away from his embrace, her face flushed. "I'm sorry, Mr. Chandler."
