Sweet Love 1V1: Spoiled by The Executive

Chapter 933: A Lesson (2)

"For five years, I didn't have a life of my own. I had to blunt my edges and abandon my identity as Ghost Charm. I told myself all the time that I was there to play the role of Zhang Ke, a silly little girl named Zhang Ke. Do you know how difficult it is to pretend to be a dimwit? Of course not, you don't respect the work that I do anyway."

Zhang Ke continued speaking in a calm voice. Ling Tianya's room was right there in front of them. She stopped and looked up at Mark. "Are you planning to go in there with me?"

Mark was still savoring what she had just said. She was right about many things. He never considered things from her perspective. He would never have comprehended the struggles that someone like her would have to go through.

For just a moment, he thought about abandoning the task the woman had sent him to do.

But he toughened up after thinking about all the brothers that he had lost and decided to remain steadfast.

Mark looked at Zhang Ke and shook his head. "I just wanted to have a chat with you. We can continue our talk next time when you're not so busy."

Zhang Ke nodded her head. She hadn't expected Mark to change his opinion about her so quickly.

Mark continued walking along with Zhang Ke to the door of Ling Tianya's room. She fished out the key, and Mark stared at the key she was holding in her hands. To buy some time, he purposely stood behind Zhang Ke and said, "I still have to warn you though, you've recovered your identity as Ghost Charm now. Don't invest too much emotion in Ling Tianya. It'll do you no good."

Zhang Ke was stunned. The hardest thing to do was control emotions and feelings.

She didn't say anything and put the key into the keyhole and twisted the lock.

Just then, she felt a sting on her neck. She turned quickly to slap the syringe away from Mark's hands, and he wasn't able to give her the entire dose of anesthetic.

Zhang Ke looked at Mark in shock. Although she was only given a small dose, the drug immediately took effect. Zhang Ke could feel her limbs go numb.

"You…" Zhang Ke mumbled groggily.

Mark's expression was sour. He didn't feel good about a sneak attack like this. "I'm sorry!"

With that, Mark locked the door again, took the key and dragged Zhang Ke to the storeroom and tied up her there.

Ling Tianya was sitting by the window looking out at the tree in the yard. She was captivated by the cat lazing on the tree, but her mind was in a mess. She couldn't feel at peace whenever she thought about her child.

When she heard the door unlock, nobody came in for a long while, then the door was locked shut again. Ling Tianya felt that something was amiss and she stood up as she looked at the doorway.

Not long after, the door was unlocked and Mark walked in first. Ling Tianya was surprised. She had never seen anyone else other than Zhang Ke since she was brought here, other than brushing shoulders with him once that morning. Zhang Ke was the one in charge of bringing things to her.

She was wary the moment Mark walked into the room, and she didn't expect another woman to enter behind him. The woman was wearing a big hat with a black veil. She had most of her face covered up and Ling Tianya couldn't make out what she looked like.

"What are you doing in here?" Ling Tianya looked past them. "Where's Zhang Ke?"

Mark looked at Ling Tianya with hatred. "Who's Zhang Ke? There's no one by that name here!"

"You know who I'm referring to!" Ling Tianya paused. "Ghost Charm!"
