Pregnant and Favored: See You in the Morning, Young Master novel Chapter 783

Looking at the injured and cowering woman in the corner—who honestly looked like a fearful hedgehog—, the assistant simply sighed before saying, “…It’s useless to struggle, Miss Lockhart… I was like you too at one point, you know…?”

…What?

Watching as Xavia frowned, the assistant then added, “You see, when I first entered the Burton Group for an internship, my goal was to become Young Master Burton’s personal assistant. Unfortunately, there were many people competing for that position, and Mr. Miller was one of them. Since Mr. Miller was acquainted with Young Master Burton, he had a head start.”

“While I can’t say that I was the best out of the bunch, I still remained diligent with my work. At one point, even Young Master Keith saw my worth, and I couldn’t be happier… Regardless, I eventually got transferred and I finally had the opportunity to work under Young Master Burton. Naturally, that meant that I also scored a better opportunity to get promoted. However…”

“When Keith heard of this, he hit me out of anger! It was around then when I learned that Keith had a congenial personality defect disorder, and whenever he couldn’t get what he wanted, he’d go berserk…! I later found out that anything related to Young Master Burton would trigger him even more!”

“I’ll be honest, he first noticed you because of Young Master Burton. As you can probably guess, he was trying to get Young Master Burton to get jealous by being superior to him. With that in mind, you can imagine how shocked I was when he proclaimed that he had actually fallen for you!”

“That aside, now that he’s serious about you, he won’t ever let you go… and if you attempt to force your way out, trust me when I say that he’ll be willing to do anything to prevent that, including ruining your life by causing mayhem to the lives of your daughter, your friends, and even Young Master Burton… I really hope you got all that…” concluded the assistant.

Naturally, that information dump left Xavia momentarily dumbfounded. To think that Keith had such a serious disorder…! No wonder she had felt that something was off back when she was in the car with him! Even shocking was the fact that the assistant had been going through the same experiences as she had this entire time!

Still feeling discontent, Xavia eventually replied, “…So you’re going to continue putting up with him? Even when he treats you this way?”

After a brief pause, the assistant muttered, “…The truth is, Keith is quite pitiful… After all, his parents only ever saw him as a pawn to compete against Young Master Burton… And as you know, Young Master Burton is talented in everything he does. With that in mind, no matter how hard he tried, he was never able to surpass Young Master Burton…”

“Between you and me, he’s considered committing suicide on multiple occasions now… He’s really sick, and honestly, I think he needs care and warmth more than Young Master Burton… Well, that’s basically the reason why I’m still by his side… As long as I can help him feel a little peace, love, and care, it’ll give me peace of mind as well…”
