Madness
Chapter 25's

'Give me some time to think, Nate. Frankly, this still confuses me.'

'I thank you for helping me find my father, but right now, I still don't know how I feel.'

'Maybe it's better that we don't meet first, until I'm sure of my decision.'

Lin's chat replies from the night before made Nate put his phone on the table in lethargy. He took a long breath.

He had thought that Lin would be happy when he found out that he might know about his father's whereabouts. But indeed, in the heart of a woman, who would a man know?

It seemed that he had played his card wrong, which made Lin unwilling to see him again.

Finally Nate admitted that it turns out he was quite stupid when it comes to women. The strategic ability in his combat was completely useless.

Drowning in grief and lamenting his folly, the man does not realize that he is the object of research from the cold man in front of him.

Just this time while he was next to his boss, Marcus saw the look on his face.

Never once in his life did Marcus ever see his boss hesitate in making a decision.

Nate is a smart and decisive leader. A chess player. Once he takes a step, he will finish it. Whatever risk.

He also did not hesitate to sacrifice himself to defend his men. And that's a few times he's done, even since Nate still hasn't become what it is today.

The expression of the man in front of him who looked tangled now, was not a reflection of the personality Marcus had known all along.

The cold man stroked his chin, unconsciously following the habits of his superior.

It looks like Miss Alina Johan has indeed managed to break the heart of her superiors, which had been cooling down all this time.

Inwardly, Marcus smiled. He predicted that there would be a lot of drama later in his master's life. He began to imagine it wildly.

Just realizing that his assistant was silent, Nate finally looked at Marcus.

"What news, Marc?"

Marcus opened his eyes and looked back at Nate. He regretted the disconnection of his imagination earlier about his superiors.

"Felix said that he's already arranged a meeting for the two of you. You just decide the time."

The news made Nate lower his head. He looked up and looked at his phone.

Lin's decision which remained unclear during these three days, made the man decide to take a step forward first.

During these three days, he had already been quite tormented not being able to see the woman. He must immediately solve this problem, in order to be more freely with him.

His left hand began to tap on his desk rhythmically and immediately stopped. Hearing him, his assistant knew that the man had made an important decision.

Staring at his assistant, Nate said firmly.

"Marcus. Please set the meeting time for the next two days."

Tomorrow, he will try his luck with that woman once again. For tonight, he would let Lin first with his own thoughts.

The next morning when Lin was just entering the building lobby, he heard there was a small commotion in one corner of the waiting room in the lobby.

He did not want to interfere, his steps stopped when he heard Lucy's voice that sounded shrill.

"Stop, Mark! You hurt me!"

Lin immediately walked up to the commotion, which seemed to start to provoke the crowd of newly arrived employees.

A little difficulty, the woman was finally able to move the crowd on her right and was surprised when she saw the scene in front of her.

Lucy's hand seemed to be gripped by her husband and the woman's cheeks looked flushed. Her bastard husband had slapped his wife's own cheek.

Not far from there, Lin could see Lionel who seemed to just be silent and watch the show that was in front of him.

To make matters worse, the woman tried to get to the useless head of security. The man should have already taken action seeing the scene before his eyes.

"Lionels! Lionel!"

Lin's loud call was finally heard by the man. Seeing who was approaching him, Lionel seemed to be smiling widely.

"elina. How are you?"

In his heart, Lin wanted to kick the private area of the man in front of him. But he tried to minimize the problem and did not want to provoke attention.

"Lionel, please separate them. You see for yourself, Mark has hurt Lucy."

Looking up, Lionel saw the couple who were still clashing their mouths in front of him. The man's lips revealed a cynical smile.

Lionel still has a grudge against Lucy. Because of the case that had befell Lin, unbeknownst to her friend, it turns out that Lucy reported the man to her superior, Hendrich.

The report from Lucy gets Lionel a hard warning letter he just received yesterday. He is also threatened with getting a PHK if he does not improve his behavior.

"I can't, Alina. They are a couple. This is their household matter, and I can't interfere."

Lin's eyes glared at the extremely unreasonable reason.

He then looked around and saw that none of the men were there, looking to help the couple break up.

What's up with these guys? Is there no such thing as humanity anymore?

Furious, Lin started to step forward. Although he knew that Mark was fat and he risked being hit, but he could not let his friend become moons.

He had just stepped up when suddenly his shoulder was pulled from behind gently.

Shocked, Lin tried to make a revolt and stopped as the hand hugged his waist tightly.

He was pulled slowly and made his back stick tightly to the body of the man behind him. Faintly, Lin began to recognize the scent of the man who was hugging him.

"Marc."

The short call made a large Marcus figure appear in the crowd and made the employees gasp in shock.

One by one, the people began to retreat in order, looking at who the man standing in front was.

At that moment, Mark seemed to be clenching his hands and was pointing his fists at Lucy who was closing his eyes tightly, when he felt her hands held tight.

Looking up, Mark saw the tall figure of the cold-eyed man who was staring at him.

"Let go! This is my household business!"

The fat man tried to let go of his hand that was being gripped, but in vain. Mark looked back at the angry man beside him.

"You don't know who I am?! I'm a lawyer! I can sue you and your company for blocking me!"

"Please. But you're not allowed to make a fuss here. Please leave now or I'll demand your return."

Tightly, Marcus threw the fat man behind. The throw made Mark a little whiff and almost fell to the floor.

"What are you guys still doing here? Are you no longer willing to work in this company?"

Marcus' hoarse and thunderous voice in the lobby made everyone speechless and finally quickly, dispersed the crowd.

The fat man who was still shocked was seen trembling hearing the voice of the tall man in front of him.

"You must remember! I'll sue you! Just wait for it later!"

The man let out a loud scream and immediately walked out of the lobby, towards his car which was lying in front.

Upon seeing the fat man leave, Marcus's sharp eyes slowly led to the other man still in the lobby. Lionel.

The security chief began to tremble. He realized that his career was over here.

"Mr Marcus..." Her great-grandchild.

"You'd better leave this company soon. Otherwise, I'll destroy your future myself, Lionel."

Those words issued heavily and coldly made Lionel instantly sweat. The man immediately left from there. He realized he had dug his own grave.

While the relieved Lucy had been relieved of the threat, looked at the tall man in front of her. It's true said the people, Mr. Marcus is a good man.

"Sir Marcus, thank you for your help. If there's no you, I'm-"

The cold man raised one hand, stopping the woman's thanks.

"You better get to the clinic. Your hands and face are hurt."

After saying that, Marcus appeared to approach another tall man who was turning his back on them. There was a pair of legs in front of the man.

Meanwhile, Nate whispered something to Lin who was in his arms.

"Lin, come tonight to my place. There's something important I want to talk about."

Nate kissed the crown of Lin's head gently and long enough. He really misses the smell. He let go of his lips when he heard Marcus's voice from behind.

"Sir."

"I'm going first, Lin. I'll be waiting for you tonight."

Slowly, Nate patted Lin on the head and released his embrace.

When the black-haired man left the person in front of him, Lucy was shocked to discover that he was his friend.

"Lin?" Gumannya slowly.

The two men who at first glance looked like the same person were seen starting to walk briskly, towards an elevator that specifically led to the floor of the directors.

Curious, Lucy moved and tried to see the face of the second man she remembered had never seen.

He should be able to quickly recall a man with such features, given his tall posture and his pale complexion even from a distance.

He was completely focused on chasing after the two men who were walking quickly in front of him, when he felt his hands being pulled quite tightly.

Shocked, he looked behind him. "Lin!"

"What are you doing, Luce? You should get to the clinic now!"

Lin's heart was currently actually pounding fast. In addition to the effects of Nate's kiss earlier, he also did not want his friend until he realized who Nate really was.

Confused, Lucy alternately pointed at Lin and towards the two men disappeared.

"You recognize that guy?"

Lin's forehead looked frowned. "Whose man?"

"The man who was with Mr. Marcus earlier! The black haired man who hugged you!"

Lucy explained. Instantly, the woman realized something.

"wait. That man was probably the abuser you were looking for, Lin?"

His friend's face even looks confused, making Lucy increasingly suspicious.

"The man didn't hug me, Luce. He pulled me because I wanted to help you. Besides, he's not the culprit I'm looking for."

Lucy's eyes narrowed, trying to read his friend's mind.

"You're not lying, are you, Lin?"

Chuckling, Lin patted his friend's shoulder slowly.

"I can't possibly forget the face of that jerk, Luce. You still don't believe me?" It does. It seemed like he would never be able to forget Nate.

This explanation further confused the injured woman. He was still quite able to remember the image of Lin first when he asked for help to look for the man.

"But the man was tall. Her hair was also black and she was hugging you..."

"I told you. He didn't hug me, Luce. He's holding my shoulder. Prevent me from helping you."

Lin began to hold his friend's hand, directing them towards the clinic.

"At the same time, black-haired people aren't just themselves."

"Just a second, Lin." His friend stopped his steps and his forehead creased back.

"But as long as I've worked here, I've never seen him at all. Men with postures like Mr. Marcus, it should be easy for me to remember."

Lin began to exhale loudly. He looks upset.

"Luce. The number of employees in this company there are about 200,000 people, and it is spread all over the world. Not to mention the consultants and the board of directors who have not counted. Are you sure you'll remember everything?"

Crossing his hands across his chest, Lin added.

"In addition, you also only met Mr. Marcus a few months ago, even though he is a long-time employee at this company. Especially this person who may be an outside consultant. What's your chance of meeting him, Luce?"

Lin's question made Lucy feel embarrassed. It does. Although he has worked for more than 10 years, not necessarily he will be able to recognize everyone.

He also realized that maybe the man had always been at odds with him considering the company building is quite large and spacious. Anything can happen.

"You're right, Lin. Excuse me. Maybe I'm just obsessed because I've never met the owner of this company. So..."

Slowly, Lin let out a slightly held breath earlier.

"That's Luce. Forget about that. Right now, we better treat your wounds immediately."

Nodding, the two women finally walked together to the company clinic.
