Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 121 He Was Not A Good Man

Vice Mr. Hughes didn’t know many women personally, but there were countless women who knew him. He was known for his notorious reputation after all, having overshadowed many celebrities and stars in the city.

Therefore, in the face of these women, Vice Mr. Hughes was quite calm to accept the fact as it was. He was afraid that he would fall into a situation where another woman would secretly fall in love with him, and he wouldn’t be able to leave it easily.

Unexpectedly for him, Macy knew Gabby. If it came down to it, would she rival against Gabby for his love?

Macy wasn’t surprised by Lawrence’s response. After all, she was just an intern in the Hughes Group branch she worked at, so it was expected that he wasn’t familiar with her person. But as she knew him, she knew it was protocol to acknowledge him by showing him respect when he came in, as was customary. She quickly stood up, stepped out from behind her chair and bowed low to Lawrence.

“Good afternoon, Vice Mr. Hughes.”

He glanced at Macy with a flicker of panic as he accepted the serious and professional greeting

He wondered whether she was trying to attract his attention in some special way. Then she was a cunning and shrewd woman.

Vice Mr. Hughes, I am an intern in the advertising department at the Hughes Group in the high-tech zone. I joined the company last month. My name is Macy. Do you remember … I was … I was blackmailed on my third day here, but you helped me. Do you have any memory of this? Even if you don’t, I would like to bestow my appreciation to you! Thank you for that, Vice Mr. Hughes.” Noticing the seriousness of her words, Lawrence realized she was being genuine and did not, in fact, seem to have any intentions of seducing him. He felt a pang of disappointment was he that unattractive?

‘Damn it! Doesn’t she like my style? She’s just like Gabrielle.”

Both the friends, this intern and Gabrielle seemed to share the same sentiment towards him. They were very similar: their language. facial expressions, tone and manner of speaking there was no trace of admiration towards him at all.

Lawrence had always been a “playboy”.

popular for his ways around women. He received many confessions of love and admiration from both men and women towards him and he was very used to it. However, now, he felt uncharacteristically frustrated and for the second time he doubted his own charm and appeal.

“Oh, it’s been quite some time since that incident last month. I’m afraid I have forgotten what happened. Besides, you will always receive help from me here at Hughes Group as an employee, and it is my job as your boss. You don’t have to be overly thankful.” The smile on Lawrence’s face faltered as he seriously delivered his response.
