Chapter 789: Have You Made Enough Trouble?

"I wasn’t making a fuss, you already fired him, and I just happened to need a bodyguard. Sean is skilled and he knows Katherine, wouldn’t he be the perfect bodyguard for me?" Summer Shawcross said defiantly.

Being poisoned actually had its perks; she had come to terms with life and death, and as a result, her courage grew stronger. Even when facing a man on the verge of anger, she could sit there with remarkable composure.

Yes, that’s good!

Beside her, Katherine Irving’s face lit up with delight after hearing Summer’s words.

"..." Noah Drexler’s face turned even darker, his sharp black eyes fixed on her intensely, as if he wanted to devour her.

Summer, however, glanced at him calmly, then looked at Sean, and suddenly spoke.

"Aren’t you coming over here!"

"Madam, this is..." Sean Morgan hesitated, instinctively turning to see the boss’s grim face.

Those cold eyes were staring at him intently!

"Or do you want him to kick you out?" Sean’s reaction made Summer a bit embarrassed. Couldn’t he see she was trying to help him?

Noah didn’t want him to stay, but if he temporarily became her bodyguard, then he’d have a reason to stay.

Sure enough, after hearing Summer’s suggestion, Sean hesitated.

After a few seconds of hesitation, he suddenly walked towards Summer and stopped beside her.

"Madam..."

Seeing Sean come over, Summer nodded in satisfaction, but at the same time, she could clearly feel a cold gaze fixated on her.

She wasn’t too flustered, instead, she waved at Sean and Katherine, and suddenly said.

"Alright, nothing for you here, go wait outside."

Hearing Summer’s words, Katherine quickly showed a look of joy.

"Thank you, Madam!"

After excitedly thanking Summer, she quickly pulled Sean away.

Sean, helpless, had to leave with her.

Once the two left, the dining room fell silent again.

Only Summer Shawcross and Noah Drexler remained.

Summer quietly took a bite of a dumpling, then instinctively looked up at the man sitting opposite her, realizing his sharp, cold eyes were still fixed on her.

Her heart skipped a beat.

"Have you made enough of a fuss?" he asked, suppressing his displeasure.

"I wasn’t making a fuss..." Summer couldn’t help but say, seizing the opportunity to quickly bring up the detoxification issue again.

"Noah, I’d like to discuss something with you..."

But Noah seemed to have anticipated it, cutting her off as soon as she started speaking.

"Don’t talk during meals!"

She paused, looking down at the plate of dumplings in front of her.

"I’m not having a meal, I’m having dumplings!" She explained seriously, looking at him.

"..." Noah frowned at her, his expression worsening.

Seeing his increasingly grim face, Summer tensed inside, certain that the next moment he might explode and flip the table...

So she quickly stopped.

"Fine, I won’t say anything, let’s eat, let’s eat..." She forced a dry smile and said quickly.

...

Just like that, Sean became Summer Shawcross’s bodyguard. Initially, Summer thought that after a few days of fussing, Noah Drexler might take back his words about firing Sean.
