A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love

There was so much to tell Pennleigh about what happened the day before, but Hesper just gave a brief explanation. Pennleigh called her after reading halfway through it. "I've never heard of any employees being left behind. I have a feeling that this was done intentionally." Penneligh looked serious. "I'm not going to allow someone to do that." Hesper suspected that 013 was behind this, but it wasn't his style to be so childish. If 013 wanted to take her life, it wouldn't be that simple.

"I think Evon is behind this." Hesper was blunt. "I can't think of anyone who would want to do this to me other than him."

"But we don't have evidence."

Pennleigh could see the hesitation in her eyes, but he looked down. "The cameras weren't working because the electricity was cut off... You didn't even get an explanation for what happened before this, but now something new happened."

"Who said that I don't have evidence for the previous time?"

Hesper didn't think that Evon would have the audacity to do that and even repeatedly target her. Ever since Hesper joined the company, she didn't cross paths with him a lot. Other than the deal for Elise Lanning, they weren't competitors.

"I thought that we're all from the same company, and since he didn't do anything that harmed me, I would let it slide." Hesper's face turned cold. "However, it seems that being nice to others has come back to haunt me, so I'm not going to just keep quiet about it.

Pennleigh nodded. "Send the evidence to me and I'll take care of it. I promise that Evon won't be there when you get back to the office... How are your legs? I didn't hear you mention that they were in bad condition.

Hesper didn't want to bring up the past. Pennleigh realized that he asked the wrong questions, so he changed the topic. "Now that you're still under the weather, you should take some time off and rest at home You can take legal actions against Evon if you want to. Even though you don't have evidence this time, he destroyed your property before this, so he's going to pay for it."

Hesper was silent for a moment, then said, "Why don't you leave Evon be for now and we'll talk about this when I'm back? It'll just be a few days."

Hesper never offended anyone if they didn't do anything to her. If Evon really was behind this, she wouldn't just let him get away with it. If it wasn't for her neighbor, she would be in a much worse state. She might have lost her legs too.

After talking about work, Pennleigh hesitated, then proceeded to say, "As for your legs... Come to me if you need help. You know my family has the money, so it would be easier to get things done." Hesper smiled. "Don't forget that I was once Ms. Lane. I accepted what was going to happen to my legs. I make a living with my brains, so even if I lose my legs, I could get prosthetics."

Mrs. Potter knocked on the door and walked in. Pennleigh looked at her curious. "Was she hired to take care of you?"

"Oh, she's my neighbor's helper. I'm glad she was able to take care of me." Hesper looked at the help. "Is your employer still busy? Even though he probably doesn't need anything from me, I should still give something as a token of appreciation."

"But..." Mrs. Potter didn't know what to do. Rickard asked her to take good care of Hesper and left. He said he would be back in about three to four days, so she wasn't sure what to do.

It wouldn't be easy to fool Hesper, so she was honest.

Pennleigh suddenly felt threatened. He never heard Hesper mention a neighbor before, but now they were already part of her life.

"Alright, I'll see him when he has time then. I really want to thank you for what you did in the past two days."
