Karen Joy Kyle did not ask him to stop, so Blake White forced a smile again.
This time, he smiled as if someone had borrowed a few million dollars from him and didn't payback. He looked like he was in great pain.
"Alright, stop smiling. Just do whatever you want to do." It was a good thing that the subordinates were loyal, but they were so loyal that they didn't know how to be flexible at all. Karen Joy was left speechless.
Blake nodded. "Yes."
"Let's go." Karen Joy took the lead and walked out. Blake followed closely behind her, his nerves were tensed up as he observed the surroundings.
Seeing Blake's tensed face, Karen Joy sighed and said, "Blake, I am still alive and can see you. That means I will be fine. Relax a little, don't be so tensed up."
Blake said, "Miss, please walk in front of me."
It was his mission to protect her. Her life was more important than his. He dared not to be careless since he was already careless once today.
"Blake, you really don't need to be so nervous..." Karen Joy still wanted to say something to comfort the dull-witted Blake, but she had already arrived at where Samantha Lesley was stopped earlier.
Seeing her coming out, Samantha immediately ran over and said, "Karen Joy, what did Uncle Cooper talk to you about?"
"Nothing." Karen Joy did not intend to tell anyone about what had happened today, especially the scatterbrain Samantha.
She guessed that even if she had told Samantha about it, Samantha might not be able to figure out anything out of this matter.
After all, Samantha was also just a spectator who doesn't know the truth.
Samantha, like other citizens of Country A, only knew that Serene Silas was the woman that was engaged to Nathaniel Cooper before he took office. She did not know the truth of this matter.
Occasionally, Karen Joy could see something different in Samantha's eyes. It seemed that Samantha had something hidden in her heart but she wasn't willing to tell her.
In the past, Samantha would tell her everything, but now she was hiding something from her. Karen Joy guessed that it had something to do with Brother Lionel's fiancee.
Even her friend Samantha couldn't accept her appearing by Brother Lionel's side so it was expected that those citizens who didn't know the truth would not understand them.
"Karen Joy, really? Nothing happened?" Samantha scratched her head, glanced at Blake that was next to Karen Joy, and complained in a low voice, "He came to me and yelled at me. He said that if something happened to you, he would shoot me to death. I was so scared so I thought that something had happened."
As soon as she finished, Blake's gloomy eyes stared at her again, which scared Samantha that she shrank back. She quickly raised her hand and covered her mouth as if she was afraid that Blake would cut off her tongue in anger.
Karen Joy patted Samantha on the shoulder and gave her a reassuring smile. "He yelled at you probably because he didn't know that the former president wanted to see me."
Blake was still fairly young, but in Karen Joy's eyes, he was a very prudent young man. She had never seen Blake lose his cool. He got mad today probably because he was scared.
Karen Joy looked at Blake and saw the worry in his eyes that couldn't be concealed. Her heart suddenly softened. In a foreign country, there was a person who actually cared about her. This feeling was so warm and touching.
"Since he did not know the situation, I shall not fault him then!" Samantha held Karen Joy's arm and shook it hard. "Karen Joy, since nothing happened, you can continue to accompany me to show my friend some support. I've already made an appointment with him. He will be disappointed if I don't go today."
Karen Joy could not refuse Samantha. She was about to nod and say yes, but Blake stood up and refused, "Miss Lesley, Miss Kyle still has something to attend to today. I'm afraid it wouldn't be convenient for her to go with you."
As soon as Blake spoke, Samantha immediately hid behind Karen Joy and stretched out half of her head to look at him. "You are so fierce. Karen Joy had already promised me that she would accompany me. What right do you have to refuse me on her behalf? Who do you think you are to her?"
