The Love From Vengeance

107 OFFICE INTRIGUE

LUKE’S POV

“Ariel! Ariel!” I knocked on the door continuously, but she still didn’t come out to give me an answer. The door was locked from the inside, and she was screaming for help. But what the hell was going on? Who was trying to follow through with nonsense in that office?

I was standing close to Rose, the lady who used to work at my company. Well, we were all familiar with the reason for me, firing her. But here she was now, working for The Vitality Group. I couldn’t care less anyway, but being close to her made me sick.

“It’s obvious Mrs. Reynold is in trouble. We have to save her.”

“Sir, we need to get in that office as soon as possible,” Rose told me, and I had to let out a sigh in annoyance.

“You know, you don’t have to say a damn word, alright?”

“I’m sorry, sir. But that’s my boss in there. And if you don’t want to do anything, I’m going to call the cops.”

I shook my head, taking my eyes off her. After observing the door, I elbowed it with all of my might. It was quite painful, but I decided to do that repeatedly, compounding the force. And one last strike at the door caused it to open.
