Chapter 689: New Assistant
Lucas Chambers stood a few meters away, his arm resting on Ruth’s shoulder, using her like a wooden support for his body, while his other hand held a crystal pear, causing juice to splatter everywhere as he bit into it."Couldn’t tell, huh? Master Hound actually won over your Sister Natalie, and she’s actually afraid of him getting angry. Has the sun risen from the west today?"
Ruth endured silently, supporting the Major’s heavy body like a log: "My Sister Natalie respects him, she’s not afraid of him! Are you really not taking Sister Natalie away?"
"Not for now. Those ’fish’ she sent my way should spill a lot of valuable things, and she mentioned some intel about a spy, which is also very valuable, enough to trade for her freedom."
"But she caught so many people and exposed that spy, won’t KS be even more determined to kill her?"
"Of course, KS probably never suffered such a loss, and your Sister Natalie doesn’t know how many days she has left."
Ruth was infuriated by his casual tone!
She wouldn’t put up with being his pillar anymore and suddenly pushed him away: "You’re no good either! You all only care about your own interests, taking intelligence from her without ever giving back! Last time, during her mission, she gave you confidential information, but you didn’t respond, forcing her to plan that explosion! She almost died! Now you’re still using her without protecting her! Shameless!"
Lucas Chambers felt quite embarrassed by the young girl’s scolding, especially when he saw Connor and Natalie Niles approaching, so he had to muster the courage to explain: "I can’t intervene in the decisions from above. Even I am not qualified to access major classified information. Applying for personal protection has strict conditions, and Natalie doesn’t meet any of them!"
Natalie Niles remained calm, almost to the point of indifference: "I don’t need anything else, just don’t make me go back."
Ruth, with reddened eyes, hugged her arm: "But Sister Natalie, you’re in danger! KS surely won’t let you go; you shouldn’t have exposed their spy."
"It’s okay, one more doesn’t make any difference."
With a faint smile, Natalie Niles dismissed them, allowing Ruth and Lucas Chambers to leave.
Once they had gone, she went to hug Connor, but as soon as she reached out her hand, Connor lifted her up.
"Since everything’s been exposed, there’s no need to hide anymore. Let’s go to the hospital for a full check-up."
"You’re not angry anymore?"
"I am."
"Then when will Your Highness the Prince decide to tell me about your identity?"
"I’m not a prince; there’s nothing to tell."
"When I keep things from you, you get angry, but when you keep things from me, there’s nothing to say?"
Connor sighed softly: "Is what I’m hiding the same as what you’re hiding?"
He put Natalie Niles in the car, drove her to the hospital, holding her hand the whole way, though he said little.
At the hospital, he handed Natalie Niles over to Johan Niles, then left to return to Harry Hunter’s side, continuing his duty as his bodyguard.
The large recruitment event at the Star Region Group had just concluded recently, with a new batch of employees steadily joining, many of whom were fresh graduates just out of school.
Secretary Fisher was overwhelmed with work, so the group assigned her an assistant.
The new assistant was strikingly attractive, with long hair draping over her shoulders, fair skin, and long legs. She was diligent and serious in her work, but appeared to lack confidence, often walking with her head down.
Secretary Fisher’s office was too small for two people, so the new assistant was placed in Connor’s office.
As soon as Connor walked into his office, he was taken aback. Although Secretary Fisher had informed him a newcomer would be joining, she hadn’t mentioned that the newcomer would be this beautiful!
