Christian shook his head and turned on the TV. He must watch the news every day. It had been his habit for years.
Then a piece of news was broadcast on the TV. Suddenly, Kingsley's nonchalant face changed color, and his eyebrows furrowed tightly.
The next second, his tall body stood up. He stretched his strong arm and grabbed his black coat from the coat rack. Then he strode out the door...
In Santabaca...
The news was about a developing property. The construction was not yet finished, but the foundation was found to have sunk, and there were slight cracks i n the walls. To make matters worse, a worker had fallen off the scaffolding to the ground and died. It was definitely breaking news.
At the company front gate, a large group of journalists gathered there. They literally blocked the place. When they saw Sherman, the journalists all rushed up and surrounded her.
It didn't matter when she started to be in charge of the project, at the beginning or in the middle. She was
responsible for the project. It was an undeniable fact.
The securities cleared a path so that Sherman could enter the office building. Just after she entered the company, several police cars pulled up outside the office building.
The police got in the company. After all, it was a huge accident. It was on the news.
Everyone involved in the project would be taken to the police station for investigation, from executives to employees. A colleague tugged at Sherman's arm and asked her why she came to the company at this time!
Sherman shook her head. She was in charge of the project. Even if she didn't come to the office, the police would find her at home.
Several people were walking to the police cars led by the police. Sherman looked up and caught a glimpse o f the silver Mulsanne parked outside out of the corner of her eye.
"You have to handle this on your own when I'm not around. But now I'm back." Kingsley's eyes were deep, dark, like black ink. He was suppressing his impulses.
Sherman smiled, "Go home and take a shower. I'll be back soon. I want to take care of it on my own for once."
She didn't want to rely on him too much. A woman still got to be strong and independent sometimes. It was not good to be too dependent on a man. This time, she wanted to be a brand-new Sherman. She didn't panic. She was calm and collected. She didn't want others to handle everything for her.
"I can let you handle it on your own. But I have to be with you." He demanded. He cupped her cheek with his hands and stroked it slightly with his fingers. He was gentle, "You have to understand my feelings at this time. Don't drive me away..."
After a second's thought, Sherman agreed, '"Okay."
A light smile was on his brows. Then he followed her and got inside the police car. The others sat in the middle seat, and the two sat in the back seat.
