The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 99

Erek had been staring at Palmer for quite a while before he suddenly remembered that last time at the bar, his boss was dancing with a guy on the dance floor, and he even recorded a video, planning to post it in the Obelisk Organization’s private chat.

Look at that; even the boss had her romantic escapades!

“Never thought you’d have a fling with Abyssal Organization’s Vocalist. Boss, you’re…”

Erek gave Noella a thumbs up, his face beaming with pride.

That was their boss, nothing short of awesome!

A smile played on Palmer’s lips as he cast a meaningful glance at Noella.

Noella lifted her foot and aimed a kick at Erek. “Did you defuse all the bombs in the hospital?”

Erek dodged with practiced ease. “Ah… not yet. Thorpe planted forty–eight bombs in this hospital; I’m still on the hunt.”

Speaking of bombs got Erek steamed up.

Last time at the bar, Thorpe and Toxic Monarch were defusing bombs everywhere, and Erek spent the whole night defusing them instead of having fun!

He didn’t even have a second to say hi to the pretty boy who was hitting on his boss, talk about. infuriating!

Luckily, he got another chance to meet him, and he was even his boss‘ fiancé now. Just the thought made Erek excited!

“Nice to meet you, Mr Pollack. I’m a member of the Obelisk Organization; after you marry our boss, we’ll be part of the family assets you guys share! Looking forward to working with you, Mr. Pollack!”

Noella couldn’t hold back and kicked Erek in the back.

“One half–hour, miss one bomb, and you lose a month’s salary.”

“Come on! Boss, you’re heartless!”

Erek thought about his already pitiful paycheck, and with tears as wide as noodles, he greeted Palmer and headed off to defuse bombs.

Palmer called out to Erek, “Abyssal Organization has a member who’s good at defusing, too; go with him.”

“Aw, how can I accept this kindness? Mr. Pollack, you’re such a good guy!”

Noella glanced over. “Fifteen minutes. If you defuse fewer bombs than the guy from Abyssal Organization, you lose a year’s salary.”
