Love Until the End

"Mr. Spencer, the person you are looking for is here." Noah Lawrence tapped twice on the study door and reported in a soft voice to the man who was reviewing the documents in the room.

Karen Wood, standing behind Noah, took the chance to tilt her head to glance at the man sitting in the center of the study. She happened to see him pause his fingers in the air for a second, lift his left arm to hold his delicate chin, and then fix his eyes on her.

The man's somber eyes made Karen shudder all over.

The man's features were incredibly handsome, but there was an overwhelming layer of gloom between his brows, making him surrounded by a cold, frightening hostility. Involuntarily, Karen furrowed her pretty eyebrows. At this moment, Noah called out to her, "Miss Wood."

Karen instantly took two steps forward to stand naturally and gracefully in front of the man, curling up her lips into a sweet, faint smile.

All of a sudden, the dim study lightened up slightly due to Karen's smile. Jayden Spencer glanced at the petite woman standing before him, frowning. Then, he narrowed his eyes at Noah and asked, "So, this is the assistant you got for Lorna?"

At the mellow, magnetic voice, Karen looked up quietly, her ears turning red.

As her watery, crystal-clear eyes looked right into Jayden's dark ones, the man was startled for a moment. Instantly, a layer of gloom covered his brilliant face. "Noah."

Jayden leaned back in the chair and crossed his arms with a sneer. "I thought you know what kind of person Lorna is need of. Do I have to repeat myself?"

Instantly, Noah got scared out of cold sweat. Just as he wanted to explain, a sweet female voice sounded, "Miss Lorna needs an assistant who can also serve as a bodyguard, and that's exactly why I'm here."

Karen stared at Jayden with an innocent look in her eyes.

Noah stiffened all over, tamping down the urge to rush over to Karen to cover her little mouth with his hands.

Did this silly girl even know who was sitting in front of her?

How dare she interrupt Mr. Spencer's questioning without permission? Did she want to be thrown out of the house by Mr. Spencer?

Jayden raised his inky brows and looked at the young woman before him with a somewhat surprised look in his eyes.

Karen looked around eighteen years old. Her eyes were watery, her figure slender, her short hair beamingly dark, and her face apple-like. She was in an azure dress, giving off a childish and silly vibe.

Jayden then said tersely while lowering his eyes. "Get out."

Noah hurried to nod his head, daring not say anything else. He broke out in a cold sweat and stepped forward to take Karen out of the study. "Miss Wood, we may leave now."

"Why?" Karen blinked without the least fear of Jayden's coldness and harshness. "You're hiring an assistant for Miss Lorna's security. I thought we've agreed that we would sign a contract after your taking me to meet the boss."

"You? Protect Lorna?" Jayden sensed the confidence from Karen's tone of voice and lifted his head to look at her again. "What have you got to protect her?"

Lorna Spencer was Jayden's sister, the young lady of the Spencer Consortium. She was extremely sensitive and particularly prone to getting obsessive as she was born prematurely and used to get hospitalized frequently when she was a child.

When Lorna grew up, she wanted to develop a career in the showbiz. Her parents had been making a pet of her and never refused any of her requests. However, they were worried that she might get upset by some unkindness. Also, they did not want to annoy her by assigning her a group of bodyguards. As a compromise, they decided to find her a female assistant who could take good care of her and protect her from any possible danger.

Jayden had entrusted Noah to deal with the task. What had the latter brought back then?

A petite, fragile Barbie doll?

Jayden repeated his own words with a trace of standoffishness in his voice. "Get out."

Seeing that Jayde was going to get furious, Noah dared not blather about hundreds of excuses he had prepared for himself at all.

After letting out a sigh, Noah once again turned to grab Karen. Unexpectedly, Karen broke free from him like a slippery fish, took a few steps forward to stand before Jayden, and revealed an enlightened expression. "I know what Mr. Spencer is suspecting of. You're afraid that not only I will not be able to serve as a bodyguard, but I'll bring Miss Lorna more trouble."

She then lifted the sleeve to expose her slender right arm, saying, "Don't be fooled by my appearance. In fact, it's just a piece of cake for me to knock over two or three grown men. Let me show you."

With that, a loud bang sounded in Jayden's study. For a moment, it seemed that the entire room was shaking. Noah widened his eyes open in shock upon seeing Karen, a delicate woman, pounded his boss's desk made of ancient sandalwood. As a crack slowly appeared upon it, Jayden's expression grew darker and darker.

After a short while, Jayden opened his thin lips coldly and spat out two words at Noah and Karen. "Get lost."
