Pampered Wedding Marry Me, Mr. Langford

Chapter 117
Tina woke up from the nightmare instantly. In her dream, she had returned to the time when she got abducted as an eight-year-
old. Not only did she fail to save the injured boy, but she was also thrown into the river by Cindy and almost drowned there.
Her eyes snapped open immediately and she took in her surroundings. She couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief after that.
Tina was rescued by Samuel, but he didn’t believe her explanation at all... It was all thanks to Mr. Jackson’s decision to notify
Samuel that she was still alive right now, but what if the same thing were to happen to her in the future? Would Samuel stand
aside and watch her die?
Those thoughts clogged up Tina’s mind immediately. Then, she saw the array of messages and notifications on her phone. One
of them attracted her attention immediately. It was a message from an unknown phone number. “If you’re rescued, reply to this
message so that I know that you’re safe,” it wrote. The message was signed by Frederick Jackson.
Mr. Jackson was the sender.
Tina was worried she wouldn’t be able to thank him for his help before that message popped up. She quickly called his number
straight away. Soon, someone picked it up. Much to her surprise, a woman’s voice sounded from the other end of the line.
“Hello? Who’s this?”
Tina was stunned. She was sure that she dialed the right number, so she asked cautiously,” Hello. Is this Mr. Jackson’s
number?”
The moment she heard Tina’s voice, the woman subconsciously clicked her tongue.
“Oh? Are you here to look for Mr. Jackson too?” she asked.
Tina could detect hints of hostility coming from the woman’s voice, which annoyed her slightly. Since Mr. Jackson was an
infamous casanova, this woman must have misunderstood her intentions.
“I’m Tina Lynd. Can you please pass the phone to Mr. Jackson? He helped me out some time ago, so I’d like to thank him,” she
explained, maintaining her neutral tone to avoid sounding like she was being submissive or oppressive.

The woman chortled coldly in response. “Why are you still pretending? You’re the eighteenth woman who wanted to talk to Mr.
Jackson today. Do you really take me for a fool? Hmph!”
She ended the call the moment she was done speaking. Tina was rendered speechless and quite helpless. She wanted to thank
Mr. Jackson, but it seemed doing so was impossible.
Just then, Tina noticed a text message sent to her by one of her colleagues. They were inquiring about the reason behind her
sudden disappearance.
She finally realized that she had skipped her shift once again thanks to the abduction. What was worse, her boss had warned
her about her tardiness last time...

Worries flooded Tina’s brain immediately. She looked at her injuries before gritting her teeth and choosing to get discharged from
the hospital. She wanted to explain everything to her boss and beg for another chance, even at the expense of getting half of her
monthly salary deducted.
But once Tina arrived at the art studio, she realized that her boss wasn’t in his office at all. She quickly found out that he would
return from his business trip in the evening.

Right after that, Tina realized that the clocking system had malfunctioned when she tried to clock in for work. Her colleagues
were also keeping their distance from her. What was worse, everyone decided to not sit with her during lunchtime. Just as she
was about to head toward the pantry, she heard a conversation from that room. “I can’t believe she has the guts to come back to
work! How shameless of her!” “Yeah! I was super surprised when I saw her! She tried to come over and talk to me earlier, so I
quickly left! I don’t want to get infected by her!” “Hey, do you think she’s infected with that disease? Ugh, she’s so disgusting!
How can someone like her work with us?” Tina knew that her colleagues had the tendency to gossip. Initially, she wanted to
avoid eavesdropping on them, so she planned to leave. Unexpectedly, someone asked the gossipers a million-dollar question.
“Are you guys talking about Tina?”
