How does that sound? Mabel stared blankly at the bank card held between Xavier’s fingers. A look of utter despair dominated her countenance. He has no intention of letting me go!
For her, at that time, five million was a sum so enormous that she didn’t dare to imagine! Meanwhile, Xavier wasn’t lacking five million at all. In an instant, Mabel understood that Xavier was toying with her.
Xavier’s profound eyes were locked onto Mabel’s face, not missing any of her minuscule expressions. A sudden spark ignited. in his eyes as the corners of his lips curled upward. Do you think you can run away? Dream on!
With a soft clink, Xavier rose to his feet, dropping a bank card in front of Mabel “Mabel, I don’t care how you do it, but the moment this card holds five million, that’s when I’ll let you go. Until then, forget about freedom. Don’t even think about running away. As long as you’re alive in this world, I can find you”
Fine million. If here on earth will I get fase million from? Panicking, she turned toward Xavier, who was opening the door and desperately cried out. “Mr. Scott, you’re asking the impossible of me! I’m just a janitor. Where on earth am I supposed to gather five million?”
Xavier turned toward her “Mikayla will transfer you to the Public Relations Department. You can make money with your smiles, your pity, your stupidity, or your ugliness. Anything you can think of, you can sell. Rich people have many fetishes Aren’t you flexible? You never know how well you can do if you never try. If all else fails, you can always sell your body” As he said that, he smirked.
“However, your current state… Well, that’s a different story” Xavier narrowed his eyes. “Take care of yourself Mabel watched as Xavier’s tall and slender figure faded from her line of sight.
Mabel paled. The sight even tugged at Mikayla’s heartstrings. “How did you manage to offend Mr. Scott?
Mabel turned to look at Mikayla with a grim smile. It was only then that Mikayla noticed the paleness of Mabel’s lips, which was marked by a ring of bloody teeth marks. “Are you okay?” Mikayla asked.
“I’m fine.” Mabel stood up, her body swaying slightly. Mikayla couldn’t bear it and was about to reach out to help, but Mabel managed to steady herself. She turned toward Mikayla, a grateful smile appearing on her pale face. “Thank you. Ms. Mikayla
“Are you sure you’re okay?” She saw Mabel could barely stand, unable to believe the latter was fine.
Mabel shook her head at Mikayla, repeating the same two words, “I’m fine.”
Who would believe that? Mikayla watched Mabel struggling to move forward. She couldn’t help but ask. “You know Mr. Scott. don’t you?”
Mikayla noticed Mabel stiffened for a moment, but the latter responded with a question, “Ms. Mikayla, where is the Public Relations Department? Am I starting work tonight?”
Mikayla was taken aback. “You…” She initially wanted to ask something, but she swallowed back her words when they arrived at the tip of her tongue. Instead, she said, “Let’s go. I’ll take you there.”
Throughout their journey, Mikayla intentionally slowed her pace. Her experiences in her position had honed her observation skills, granting her eyes as sharp as a hawk’s. Her sharp gaze fell on Mabel’s leg. She hadn’t noticed anything unusual before, but at that moment, she was certain something was amiss with Mabel’s leg. “Mabel, did your legs go numb from kneeling earlier?”
Mabel pondered for a moment. At that point, she believed there was no need to keep anything from Mikayla, She looked up at Mikayla, slowly turned her back to the latter, lifted her shirt, and muttered softly. “Ms. Mikayla.”
Mikayla’s gaze followed Mabel’s movements, landing on the bare expanse of the latter’s lower back. She inhaled sharply. “You… Unintentionally, Mikayla widened her eyes in shock as she covered her mouth, staring incredulously at the woman.
A moment later, Mabel leisurely set down her clothes, straightening out the edges before turning to look at the shocked Mikayla, “Ms. Mikayla, I’m missing a kidney. My health deteriorated afterward, and it hurts if I walk too fast.”
“Where. Where did your kidney go?”
“Donated to someone, probably. I really don’t know.”

Even a woman like Mikayla, who had seen many things in life, couldn’t help but shudder when Mabel calmly mentioned she had no idea where her kidney went. How could Mabel remain so composed?
“That’s your kidney, a part of your body!” Mikayla had to muster all her strength to suppress her anger, striving to keep her voice as calm as possible. How could Mabel speak about it so composedly?
Mabel tugged at the corner of her mouth. “I know.” Apart from those two words, she didn’t utter another word. Instead, she looked at Mikayla and pleaded with a determined gaze. “Ms. Mikayla, could you please keep this a secret for me?” She didn’t want anyone else to know.
“You… Okay!” Mikayla took a deep breath to calm herself. She still didn’t quite understand why she, who had always been strict, felt like she shared some similarities with Mabel.
After a moment of thought, Mikayla asked, “Considering you’re down a kidney, do you still intend to join the Public Relations Department? You will have to drink if you work in the Public Relations Department. Even if you can’t, there will be difficult clients who you’ll need to entertain with a drink or two. I can speak to Mr. Scott on your behalf. Your condition simply isn’t suitable for the Public Relations Department. For some reason, Mikayla felt compelled to help Mabel.
