    <b>There </b>wasn’t much point.


    After all, they wouldn’t be working together forever.


    Besides, everyone had seen that woman who came yesterday withheir own eyes.


    No one could say how much longer thispany wouldst.


    With Albert in his current state and Lisa acting like this, she was clearly overestimating herself.


    It was like throwing a meat bun at a dog–gone for good.


    Put inly, she gave herself away for nothing.


    At that thought, everyone exchanged amused nces and said no more.


    Soon after, Lisa followed the Albert’s orders and found out Julian’s current location.


    When she came to report, her eyes were practically dripping with sweetness.


    Her voice was syrupy, almost oozing.


    “Mr. Hayes, I found where Mr. Julian is. This is the number of the police chief. Have a look.”


    As she handed over the number, Lisa took the opportunity to brush her hand against his.


    The meaning behind it was obvious to both of them.


    But Albert didn’t have time to entertain her games right now.


    He had more pressing matters.


    If thepany copsed, fooling around with a secretary would be pointless.


    And once everything fell apart, he knew all too well how quickly someone like her would change face.


    That was exactly why Albert had to be extra cautious and protect <b>the </bpany at all costs.


    “Alright, <b>I </b>got it. Let me take a look.”


    Albert snapped, “Stop thinking about those things. Once I’m done with this, you’ll get everything you deserve.”


    Hearing that, Lisa blushed and lowered her head shyly. “Yes, Mr. Hayes, I understand.”


    She hadn’t meant it that way—why did he make it sound like she was some desperate woman starved for affection?


    She was only thinking that since she and Albert had just gotten together, they needed to spend more time nurturing their rtionship.


    Otherwise, if they grew distant over time, then what?


    These were things she had to consider.


    She had worked hard for this chance at wealth–why should she let someone else take it from her now?


    <b>No </b>matter what it was, she had to maintain it herself.


    Otherwise, what would all her previous efforts amount to?


    With thoughts like that, ambition practically overflowed from Lisa’s eyes.


    She was so distracted that she remained standing in the office, forgetting to leave. <ol start="172"><li>172. </li></ol>


    <b>Albert </b>had initially nned to call the police chief, but seeing, Lisa till standing there made him lose all desire to continue


    “Why are you still here?”


    He frowned and said, “Don’t you have anything else to do? Are you really that free?”


    <b>Lisa </b>looked stunned.


    She was caughtpletely off guard and just stood there in a daze


    Albert lost patience in an instant and mined the folder in lits hard. “Get out. I won’t say it twice.”


    Seeing how serious his expression


    That meant he was genuinely angry.


    Lisa realized he meant it.


    But she didn’t understand.


    Weren’t things fine just moments ago?


    Why had it suddenly turned into this?


    And when they were together, Albert hadn’t said anything like this at all.


    With tears welling in her eyes, Lisa suddenly saw the truth–anything a man said during those moments couldn’t be trusted.


    And it hadn’t even been that long.


    Despite feeling wronged, Lisa wasn’tpletely clueless.
