Chapter 304

up, then.”“Okay!” Winnie strode out and returned with the jacket within a minute.Since her jacket was quite long, it was able to cover the embarrassing stain on Lisanne’s pants.The moment Lisanne went out, her driver was about to open the car door for her.However, since the driver was a man, Lisanne felt embarrassed and did not want to be in the same car as him.She instructed, “Go back first. I’ll take my friend’s car.”Winnie glanced at the driver and nodded at him slightly. Although the driver did not know Winnie, his first impression of her was that she had a very strong presence.However, precisely so, he was afraid that something bad might happen to Lisanne. He immediately called Lucas and reported it to him.When Winnie heard him making that call, she deliberately waited till the call ended before starting the engine.Having found out Winnie’s identity from Lucas, the driver bowed at Winnie. “Drive safely, Ms. Garland.”Winnie started the engine and asked Lisanne, “Do we return directly or deal with the stain somewhere first?”Since Lisanne was feeling quite uncomfortable, she immediately chose the latter. “Let’s deal with it first.”“Okay, we can go to my office. There are not a lot of people at the office now. Even the shopping malls aren’t open yet. Luckily, I’ve got some extra clothes and toiletries in my office. There’s a bathroom in the lounge for you to take a shower too.”“Sure!” Lisanne wished for nothing more than a shower. “Let’s do that.”“Okay! It’ll take around ten minutes. I’ll be quick!”…It had been a long time since Winnie went to Garland Group.Although it was only eight in the morning, there were quite a lot of employees who had reached the office early.They stared at Winnie with a look of respect and curiosity.A thought suddenly surfaced in Winnie’s mind when she noticed their reaction.She greeted the employees and brought Lisanne to her office.While Lisanne freshened up in the bathroom, Winnie checked some things on her laptop. She even made a few calls and had a video call with Xavier for a few minutes.Soon, Jasmine arrived for work. She greeted Winnie and reported some important work-related matters.Seeing how busy Winnie was, Lisanne sat quietly on the couch beside the bookshelf after changing her clothes, not wanting to disturb her.After Jasmine was done with her report, Winnie walked over to Lisanne.Gazing at Lisanne, who now looked refreshed after a shower, she could not help but smile. “Lisanne, you look much better now. The clothes fit you too. Are you all good now?”“Yeah.” Lisanne closed the book that she had just opened and said, “I’m all good now.”Winnie nodded. “Let’s go.”To her surprise, Lisanne suddenly changed her mind. She rose to her feet abruptly and said to Winnie, “I don’t want you to go anymore.”“What?” Winnie frowned and asked in a semi-joking tone, “What’s wrong? Why aren’t you letting me go with you? Does your family no longer welcome me?”“No, Winnie.” Knowing that Winnie might have misunderstood, Lisanne quickly clarified, “That’s not what I mean. You’re always welcome at the Marsh residence. I just realized something. I haven’t been in a great state for these two days. Today, I even rushed out to look for you. It was only when I was taking a shower earlier that my mind cleared up. I was being too irrational earlier. I assumed that since Harold’s looking for you, we can make him return Christopher’s corpse. However, it dawned on me that he’s not looking for you just to reminisce about the past and have a nice little chat. He’s definitely planning to hurt you, so it’s too dangerous. You should remain hidden and stay away from any trouble.”Winnie was stunned. “I have a feeling you needed to tell me something when my assistant was talking
