Chapter 1598 Having Her By His Side
If the bullet had hit Susanne’s heart, no one, not even the best surgeons, would be able to save her. Luckily, the
bullet had missed.
As for Linda and the burly man, after they made their escape, they took a cab and headed for the airport where
the Duke had a private jet parked there.
As soon as they arrived, they saw people searching for them. In the spur of the moment, the burly man pushed
Linda against the wall and lowered his head, covering her mouth with his.
Linda was furious at his action. That was her first kiss, after all. In retaliation, she bit down on his lips harshly.
‘‘Are you out of your mind, Mark?’‘
Seeing Linda’s reaction, Mark hurriedly explained in a soft voice, ‘‘Desperate time calls for desperate measures.’‘

he was only doing so to avoid getting noticed by their pursuers, but after having a taste of Linda’s sweet lips, he
could not help wanting more. As such, he kissed Linda forcefully, suckling at her sweet lips. This was the first time
Linda had been kissed, and he was kissing her very passionately.
Nonetheless, reason prevailed, and after seeing that their pursuers had left, she pushed Mark away and went to the
private jet sullenly.
Knowing that Linda was angry, Mark followed behind her in silence.
In truth, he had fallen in love with Linda a long time ago. However, she had always been distant and aloof. Thus, he
could only admire her from a distance, not daring to profess his love. One could only imagine how overjoyed he felt
when the Duke sent him to Chanaea to back up Linda on a mission.
Earlier, he could have avoided their pursuers in some other way, but for some reason, the first thing he could think
of was to lean forward and kiss her. Looking at Linda who was walking in front of him now, he smiled. He had no
regrets about what happened just now and was glad he took the opportunity to kiss her.
The two showed the necessary documents to the pilot, and the three soon boarded the plane.
In the cabin, because Linda did not want to sit with Mark, the two could only sit separately with one in the front and
one in the back. After the plane took off, Mark would look at Linda from time to time, and when he thought of the
disgust in her eyes, sadness welled up within him.
Linda took out her phone and looked at the man on the screensaver. Her heart was full of sorrow. Will he still be
mine when I get back? Who is the woman who has replaced me in his office?
As these thoughts went through her mind, her countenance turned colder and colder.
No matter who it was, she would definitely take the Duke back. She wanted him to know that she was the woman
who fitted him best.

Five hours later, the two got off the plane. Mark wanted to go with her to the company to meet the Duke, but Linda
refused. Mark took a long gaze at her seated inside the cab before he turned around and got into another one.
On the way, Linda’s lips curved slightly into a smile. She could not wait to tell him how much she missed him and be
together with him again.
She recalled Mark’s kiss at the airport. She had discovered how good a kiss felt and she wished that the Duke would
treat her the way Mark had treated her.
Back at the company, Linda and Mark entered the Duke’s office together. When he was done reporting the incident,
Mark left. Then, Linda walked up to the man.
‘‘Duke…’‘ Linda looked at the man in front of her with a love-struck expression and crouched down. Seeing that he
did not stop her, she got up and straddled his lap.
After Mark left, he remembered something and went to the office again. However, when he reached the door, he
saw a scene that broke his heart, and he was instantly rendered motionless on the spot.
