Lord Protector Novel

Emily’s words hit Lacey right in the heart as everything she said was true.

Lacey couldn’t help but pity her.

“Wait,” she told the security.

Emily was about to shed tears of joy because Lacey had finally softened up.

So, she wiped up her tears. “Lacey, I know you are not that heartless.”

“Zeke, Emily had indeed helped me a lot then,” Lacey explained. “Why don’t we take her in?”

Zeke didn’t know how to react as he stroked Lacey’s long and silky hair. “What should I say? You’re too kind or you’re too soft-hearted and gullible? But since you’re the legal representative of the new Linton Group, you get to call the shots.”

Lacey replied, “Okay, then. You can work as a clerk here, Emily.”

“Your pay scheme will be equivalent to the level of a general clerk.”

To be honest, Emily was slightly upset with Lacey’s decision.

She thought Lacey would arrange for her to be a manager, or at least a procurement specialist, because that was her previous job.

However, she was only taken in to be a clerk instead and that meant she could not take advantage of this position and get any kickback.

Well, at least I get to stay, Emily thought. I can take advantage of Lacey instead.

I can even replace her and be the boss of this company.

After Emily left to go through the employee entry procedure, Lacey turned to Zeke with an upset expression.

“Zeke, are you happy now?” she asked.

Zeke was confused. “Why would I be happy?”

Lacey returned, “Your ex is now working here. Aren’t you happy?”

Zeke was speechless.

He didn’t know how to react to Lacey’s question as it was clear that she was jealous.

“Lacey, you were the one who told her to stay. Why are you blaming me now? Do you want me to make her leave?” he inquired.

Lacey exhaled. “Forget it. Since I agreed to let her stay, I shouldn’t go back on my words. But I know her well, so she would certainly try to hook up with you as she hasn’t given up on you yet.”

After a brief pause, she said, “If you can’t resist her seduction—”

Zeke chuckled and cut her off. “Silly girl. That’s utter nonsense. I have the prettiest wife on earth. Why will I get myself the b***hiest woman on earth? Please don’t insult me, okay?”

Lacey cracked a victorious smile. “What a smart choice you have made.”

However, Lacey was right to be worried because Emily had indeed set her eyes on Zeke.

One day, Zeke sent Missy to school like usual before dropping Lacey at work.

After Lacey went upstairs, Zeke took the car to the parking lot when a figure suddenly entered the car.

It was none other than the notorious Emily.

Panting, Emily pleaded, “Zeke, can you give me a ride to Clearview General Hospital? My chest feels tight. I think I’m going to faint any minute.”
