Task NO.1: How To Pursue Miss CEO

Chapter 278

Chapter 278 Pierre Fowler’s Background

“Oh? You think I love you?” Hades sneered. This is quite a good joke! “Of course. Do you not love me? If you truly have no feelings for me, why did you choose me from among so many people back then?” Linda was convinced that she’d become his woman sooner or later as long as she loved him as well.

“Do you want to know the reason?” Linda nodded tremblingly. “Yes.” “Okay. I’ll grant your dying wish. Why did I choose you from among so many people? It was because I saw something in your gaze.”

“What was it?”

Then, Hades leaned down and whispered in her ear, “The desire to die. You were the one who desired to die most among them all, and only people who had lost all hope are of use to me.”

At that moment, Linda could hear her heart shattering, and she stared at him speechlessly. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Bang! A gunshot echoed in the castle.

Meanwhile, Selena returned to the hospital. She’d asked Melissa and Joshua to take care of Juniper here since she went to cook for Hades. Standing by the door, she stared at Melissa and Joshua, the two ‘buddies’ who’d been with her through thick and thin. All of a sudden, incredulity flooded her. Who else can I trust when even Linda was a spy Hades planted by my side?

Pushing open the door, she walked in. “Mel, Josh, thank you so much for today. I’m back, so you guys can go back and rest.”

Upon hearing Selena’s voice, Melissa looked at her with a smile. Her black clothes and pitch-black pupils made her appear cool and unapproachable, but she was actually an affable girl who was merely pretending to be cool. “Actually, you didn’t have to come back so early. You could’ve spent a little more time getting to know him.” She blinked suggestively.

Naturally, Selena understood her meaning, but still, she insisted that they leave. “You guys can go back. I can manage by myself.”

At this time, Juniper was already asleep.

“Okay, we’ll be leaving then.” Joshua inclined his head at Selena and wrapped an arm around Melissa’s shoulder before they walked out of the ward together.

While they were walking, Melissa abruptly stopped. “I think there’s something amiss with Selena.”

“What’s amiss? Are you just too sensitive?” Joshua chuckled nonchalantly.

“No. My intuition tells me that something must have happened between her and our boss.”

Bringing Melissa’s hand up, Joshua kissed it lightly. “Darling, do you really think Selena will end up with our boss?”

Melissa shook her head. “Our boss is too unpredictable, so no one knows what he’s actually thinking. Nonetheless, I feel that he really has feelings for Selena and truly wants to marry her. However, Selena probably loves someone else. Didn’t you gather that from Juniper’s remarks?”

Joshua shrugged. “Whatever. We’d better not interfere in this. From the very beginning, we’d known that Selena wouldn’t stay forever, no?”

Sighing, Melissa left with him.

After that, Selena had her assistant from JNS Corporation bring her laptop to the hospital. When she checked her email, she discovered that her email had indeed been tampered with. All the encrypted files she sent back to Hades had application codes added. After opening those codes, she slowly deciphered them, but in the next instance, she slammed the cover of her laptop down. This is simply

too much! Pierre Fowler is actually… She couldn’t quite believe it, yet she had no choice but to do so. Perhaps I now know why he refuses to marry me.

That entire night, she couldn’t sleep, for her mind was filled with thoughts of Pierre. It was as though her row with him the night before she left had only happened on the previous day. They pointed fingers and suspected each other, so that was the most torturous night to her.
