Chapter 26 Retaliation By The Divorced Heiress

• "Mr. Salvador, I'm done with it now! Ian gasped as they made their way up the steps. There were more steps on each story than usual because the hotel had high ceilings. By the time they reached the eighth story, Ian was breathing heavily. He was on the verge of giving up because his legs were shaking." A man ought not to give up so quickly. There are just two levels remaining. Move quickly. Justin did not alter his expression as he ascended the stairs, encouraging Ian. Justin was thirty years old. Though he was two years Ian's senior, he had been a soldier in the peacekeeping force in his youth.
• He practiced martial arts and received frequent training after leaving the army; thus, his level of physical fitness was far higher than that of the average person. Because he had to do at least thirty laps during their night run when he was in the army, he could still climb an additional twenty stories if necessary. At last, they reached the forty-first floor. Justin shook his head and gave Ian a cold look as he sat on the steps, panting heavily. It was good to meet you, Mr. Salvador. Justin heard the voice and spun around. He noticed a man approaching with a courteous look on his face. He was well-groomed and attractive.
• It was difficult to identify his true age because of his features, which many women would describe as puppy-dog cute. I am Steven Lovett, Ms. Thompson's secretary. You've been waiting for a long time, Ms. Thompson. Would you kindly accompany me? Was she griping about our slowness? Though he had nowhere to let out his frustration, Justin was irritated. Something darkened his face. My feet aren't exactly as quick as an elevator, though. I hope it's okay with Ms. Thompson. Steven remained silent. Ignoring them, he simply turned around and continued walking forward.
