"You can't run away." Lincoln held her slender wrist. His voice was low as he said, "Everyone is at the banquet tonight. After the swimming competition, there will be more activities. Even if you try to escape, no one will come and save you. Obey me, and I will be gentle to you."
"Let me go!" Kimberly shook his hand off forcefully and took a few steps back.
She thought in panic, "What's wrong with me? Why do my limbs feel so weak?"
Kimberly looked at her trembling fingers, and her fair cheeks were getting redder.
A constant stream of hot air rose from her lower abdomen. This feeling... felt very familiar.
It was the same feeling as when Chandler had locked her up in the room last time!
Was she drugged again?
As soon as she thought of this, Kimberly felt extremely desperate.
Lincoln added, "I kept convincing you to be with me, but since you didn't want to, I have to use this strategy. You know... I like you very much. As long as you obey me today, I promise that no one in the department will dare to bully you in the future. What do you think?"
Kimberly leaned against the cold wall. She pinched her thigh hard to wake herself up. Then, she noticed Lincoln walking towards her. He was unbuttoning his shirt, and his eyes were full of lust. They seemed to be shining like a beast's eyes in the dark room.
No...
She couldn't lose her dignity here.
If she was really defiled by Lincoln, Maddox would only look at her with even more disgust. He would feel that she was even dirtier!
No!
Absolutely not!
Before Lincoln could come any closer, Kimberly used all her strength to push him away.
She seethed, "If you dare to lay a finger on me, I will never let you go."
Lincoln had assumed that she had no strength left, so her strong push startled him. He fell onto the floor in shock.
He blurted in confusion, "Hey, why hasn't the drug worked yet? Why are you still so strong?"
Kimberly frowned and said, "You drugged me?"
He replied, "Don't blame me. You were so stubborn, so I had to use some extraordinary means."
"Despicable!" Kimberly bit her lower lip and shouted at Lincoln, using all her remaining consciousness, "Don't you know that I'm in a relationship with Maddox?"
Lincoln was stunned and he asked, "What did you say? Young Master Yardley?" "Do you really think that just because I'm demoted, it means he doesn't want me?" Kimberly leaned against the wall, panting hard and staring at Lincoln as she spoke, "If he really doesn't want me, why didn't he fire me instead?"
Lincoln was taken aback by her words and did not respond for a long time.
Then, he said cautiously, "What do you mean? Do you mean... you really are together with Young Master Yardley?"
"That's right!" said Kimberly.
In order to save herself, Kimberly went all out. She bit her lower lip and continued, "He is just angry with me and wants to show his temper by demoting me. If he really doesn't want to see me, he wouldn't have let me stay. He demoted me so that he can get me back to him one day!"
Although Kimberly did not believe these words, that was all she could come up with at that moment. In such a shabby place, everyone was busy attending the banquet and no one would come to save her, no matter how loud she screamed.
"Are you serious?" Lincoln was still stunned. If what Kimberly said was true, then he could never touch her.
If Lincoln did, he might not be able to keep his job at the Yardley Corporation.
