Zayn seethed as he scowled at her in a sarcastic tone, "Are you an idiot?"
"I… I…"
Carla's neck which had just healed now had a dagger pressed against it. She was utterly frightened and could barely speak.
"Sigh, Miss Wigston, why did you come up here?" Benard sighed.
He and Mr. Giblo alone were more than enough to dispose of the remnants. Little did they expect Carla to gift herself to the enemy."You, destroy the X system now, or else I will kill her, " the intruder ordered arrogantly.
Carla was at the brink of tears and she kept telling herself she was done for.
The system was an integral part of Divine Corporation and holds the fate of the Giblo family in it.
To Carla, asking Zayn to destroy it was no different than asking him to destroy Earth itself.
This time, he definitely wouldn't save me.
"Go ahead and kill her. That stupid woman isn't of any use even when she's alive."
Zayn shot Carla a cold glare and waved his fist at her angrily. After which, he turned and headed back to his office.
"Erm…"
Benard was stupefied. Is he for real?
"Boohoo…" Carla cried in agony. "I'm just a small fry as I'm the lowest-ranked secretary here. Capturing me is of no use to you…"
"Shut up!" The intruder gritted his teeth and cursed his luck. Damn it! Why did I capture a useless secretary?
"Fine. Since neither of you is going to save her, I will kill her first…"
Just as he spoke, the intruder prepared to slit her throat.
"No!" Carla closed her eyes. As if by reflex, she screamed, "Gigolo, save me!"
Whoosh!
A sudden brush of wind blew past her ear. The next moment, the hand around her neck released its grip before she heard a thud.
When Carla gradually opened her eyes, the man holding her hostage had dropped to the ground.
Zayn had seized the dagger from him.
Throwing the dagger aside, he gave Carla a resentful look before returning to his office.
Carla was stunned where she stood. When she saw his familiar silhouette, she replayed what just happened in her mind. If I recalled correctly, I shouted "Gigolo, save me", that means…
He must be Gigolo!
"Miss Wigston, stop spacing out." Benard waved his hand in front of Carla's eyes. "It's dangerous here. Come in with us."
"You're bleeding…"
At that moment, Carla realized Benard was hurt. There were wounds all over his shoulders, arms and legs. Blood was dripping as he walked.
However, he didn't flinch as if he wasn't in pain at all.
"They are just cuts, don't worry." Benard didn't mind and even reminded her, "The product launch has already started and we have yet to fend off the attacks from the hackers. Now that Mr. Domitos is buying us time, Mr. Giblo has his hands full now. So, don't get on his nerves."
"I understand."
Scanning her surroundings, Carla couldn't help but feel she was in a warzone.
There was destruction everywhere and debris strewn all over the floor. Furthermore, men in black littered the ground and she wasn't even sure if they were dead or alive.
Only the president's office was left untouched as if it was the last bastion of safety.
She could imagine how frightening it was just now.
Zayn was dismantling the hacker's systems while Benard was fighting alone.
The office remained a safe haven while the battle raged on outside.
Heaven and Hell seemed to have only been separated by a door.
Finally, when Benard couldn't hold them off any longer, Zayn had to come out and personally dispose of the intruders.
They were almost done when Carla barged in like a giant idiot.
Realizing that she had gotten in the way instead of helping, Carla wanted the ground to open up and swallow her whole.
"Why is this idiot here?"
Zayn's voice rang out with a cold and mocking tone.
Carla raised her head and gave him an aggrieved look. "I was just worried and wanted to check on you. I didn't expect to have gotten in your way…"
