No Escape From the Ex-husband by Summer Winters

Chapter 0031 

“Can I expect an answer from you tonight, Mr. Ford?” 

There was a faint smile on Samantha’s face, as she felt the glee of petty revenge in her heart. 

If Kendrick wanted her to submit the design drafts, she would do whatever it takes to submit them. But if he expected her to work overtime, she would make sure that he would be working just as late. 

If he refused to give her an answer tonight, she would submit the drafts tomorrow instead. 

The thought of her retaliating brought a smile to his l*ps. 

“Sure,” Kendrick uttered calmly. 

He ended the call.

Once again, Samantha heard the beeps over the phone. She felt a little again. She wondered what he meant by that and was confused by his curt 

response. 

She couldn’t be bothered to think it through. Regardless, Kendrick was the president of the company, and she was the head of the design department. Naturally, she had to obey him. 

She felt that she wouldn’t get pushed around by Kendrick for long. Someday, she would let Kendrick have a taste of losing everything as she had. 

Her hand tightened its grip on the receiver until her knuckles turned white. 

Time ticked by. Samantha spent her time at her desk, working on the design drafts. 

A long while later, she looked up, rubbing her almost stiffened n*eck. She realized that the sky had already turned dark. 

Looking at the unfinished design drafts, Samantha called Francis. 

“Hello, Francis…” 

As soon as the call went through, Francis‘ casual voice rang out. 

“What’s the matter? Missing me already?” 

Samantha couldn’t help but roll her eyes. She had gotten used to Francis‘ jokes over the last four years.

“Francis, I have to work overtime. Can you take Nathan out for dinner? If I arrive home too late, you can tuck him in first.” 

Samantha’s voice softened, and she spoke in a slightly apologetic tone. 

If it weren’t for Francis‘ help, she may not have been able to survive. Back then, it was Francis who pressured her father to pay up. As a result, her father became paralyzed. 

But Francis had also saved her life. He took her overseas and gave her another chance to live. So, Samantha didn’t hate Francis at all. 

Ever since she picked up her design career, she barely had any free time. Francis looked after Nathan more often than she did. Samantha sincerely felt apologetic 

for that. 

But other than Francis, she didn’t know who else she could ask for help. 

“Kendrick is such a cruel man. You’ve just started work, but he’s already telling you to work overtime… Should I have someone deal with him?” 

Francis couldn’t help but complain about Kendrick. But then, he spoke as though he was boasting. 

Francis was the leader of the biggest underground organization in Sentius City. He was indeed quite powerful. But Francis never crossed paths with Kendrick. Of course, Samantha didn’t want Francis to get into a conflict with Kendrick. 

“Just help me take care of Nathan, please…“. 

When Francis heard Samantha’s soft tone, his expression softened as well. He couldn’t help but imagine Samantha’s pitiful gaze on the other end of the line. 

“Got it. Don’t worry.” 

“Thank 

Samantha was about to thank him when she heard him speaking again. 

“But how are you going to thank me? How about a k*ss?” 

For a moment, Samantha didn’t know if she should laugh or cry. 

“I’m going back to work. I leave Nathan in your care.” 

After settling Nathan’s matters, Samantha stretched and she resumed working. 

The lights in the city started to glow. Almost all the employees in the company had clocked out and gone home. 

Only two offices had their lights still turned on.
