His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1919

The small room suddenly became stuffy after the bookcase door closed. It was hard to breathe without a single window. However, it was a perfect hiding place for Lily and Edward.

The two looked at each other without a word, then heard footsteps and someone talking outside.

Someone seemed to have discovered the bodyguards lying at the doorway and rushed into the office, yelling, “Sir?! Sir!”

Lily tensed up and gripped the desk corner beside her as she listened intently.

“What took you guys so long?” Mike’s voice was tinged with anger and sounded authoritative.

“Mr. Corden?” Those grunts knew him and were shocked when they saw him.

Mike said, “You imbeciles! Where were you?!”

“Mr. Corden, what the hell happened?”

Mike said solemnly, “Someone barged in and kidnapped the boss, but I got wounded and couldn’t stop them. They’re a bunch of losers!”

Although Lily was not outside and could not see him, she knew he referred to the bodyguards lying outside in the last sentence.

“Who were they? How did they enter the office? They need the passcode to get in here!” The grunts were puzzled.
