Lauren watched as Landon left. She stood there until she could no longer see his car's tail lights.

Angelina walked to her side. "Madam Lauren."

"Yes?" Lauren turned to look at her.

"Thank you for speaking up for me today. Thank you." Angelina felt a surge of emotions. Tears welled up in her eyes.

She started working for Landon when she was young. In her youth, she worked as his helper. She then became his secretary-cum-bodyguard when she got older.

She was someone who received strict training. She also suffered through difficult times. She was frigid and apathetic toward everyone other than Landon.

Unexpectedly, Lauren's appearance allowed her to feel the warmth of a family. This was something that she had never experienced before. She was moved beyond words.

Lauren was her employer. However, Angelina loved her like how she would a younger sister.

"I know that you've worked hard, Angie."

Lauren held Angelina's calloused hand. Lauren's hand was warm. With a twinkle in her eyes, she said, "You're always thinking of Landon. Even if he doesn't see it, I do. These are still your kind intentions. He shouldn't let you down like that."
