Chapter 200 An Unbearable Past
Madeline could feel the goosebumps crawling up her skin.
She quietly raised her arm for the bodyguard trio to see, where she said to Conrad and Dean, “You two, don’t make him call me so politely. My hair is standing.”
They shot each other a look. “We will do as you say, Mrs. Hart,” they answered respectfully.
Luke had an arrogant expression on his face then. After throwing them a glance, he shuffled in front of her. “Maddie, I want to talk to you alone.”
“Let’s talk in my office.” She nodded before opening the door to her office.
Seeing that, Dean urgently called after her, “Mrs. Hart…”
“It is fine,” she said. “He can’t win against me now that he doesn’t have Aldo and Buddy in his hands. You don’t have to worry about me.”
Luke, who had been silent for a while, rubbed his nose and admitted to the bodyguards. “Maddie is right. Neither my brother nor I can win against Maddie in a fight. And of course,” he pointed in their faces, “if I am not her opponent, then neither are the both of you!”
Conrad and Dean could only hold themselves back from rolling their eyes at him. They couldn’t bother themselves with his strange and random comparison.
They didn’t need to be their lady boss’ opponent; they only wanted to at least be on Luke’s level!
Every one of the bodyguards knew about how Madeline had given Quinton a shoulder toss the first time she and Sebastian had met. Knowing how well she fought, the bodyguards would naturally feel more at ease at leaving her alone with Luke. They took a few steps back and gave her a polite bow before reminding her, “Please be careful, Mrs. Hart. We will be right outside the door. You can shout for us anytime you need something.”
Upon hearing the words, Luke glared at them and huffed, “What do you think could happen to Maddie when I am with her?”
