When the Boss’ Lady Became His Sister-in-law

Chapter 111

Garner knew it. Melissa was at it again.

“Bark!”

“Bark!”

Suddenly, the dog barking came outside the villa, and a massive black Labrador charged them.

“Ah!” Melissa screamed, almost instinctively leaping to hang onto Garner, clinging to him for dear life.

Melissa was afraid of dogs, a fact well–known to the security staff of the Lawrence family.

Being Melissa’s bodyguard was a cushy job. Without real danger, they just needed to keep the dogs at bay for the boss.

Garner didn’t know why Melissa was so terrified of dogs, but judging by her fear, it wasn’t just a simple phobia. She must have had some traumatic experiences in the past, like being bitten by a dog.

“Garner, get rid of it, please!” Melissa’s voice choked with panic as she hung onto Garner, wrapping her arms tightly around his waist.

Garner cradled Melissa with one arm, his gaze dark and intense on the approaching dog.

Melissa had bought a villa on an island in the middle of a lake for safety. There were no nearby neighbors with dogs, making it clear that this was someone’s deliberate doing.

“Baillie, follow it and see where it came from,” Garner ordered after shooing the dog away, telling the other bodyguards to track it down.

“It’s gone. Come down,” Garner said, loosening his grip, signaling Melissa to get off him.

Her clinging act left the other bodyguards speechless. But Melissa teasing Garner was a daily routine, so they were not surprised.

“I’m not coming down,” Melissa insisted, refusing to let go of Garner.

Garner raised his hand to peel her off him when he felt a damp coolness on his shoulder. “Are you crying?”

Melissa stayed silent, her head tilted, resting on Garner’s shoulder.

This man was so sturdy, so reassuring. She didn’t want to let go.

“Why are you so scared of dogs?” Garner asked, his curiosity piqued.

He felt Melissa tense up at his question.

He wasn’t sure what he’d said to offend Melissa, but she suddenly got down and headed straight for the house with a tear–streaked face.
