Chapter 8

Linnea POV

I'm here in the office now, I don't know but I'm too lazy to work today. When I left Hunter's house earlier, he was no longer there. One of the housemates said he left early to go to the office. I didn't ask any more questions and just ate and left.

As the matter of truthI went to our office not to work but to give a resignation letter, I thought about it a few times but I had no other choice because I knew that man would not stop if I did not agree to work with him. I don't want him to bother me here in the office when I keep coming in here, I really don't want to talk to him or have a scandal.

If it wasn't for him I wouldn't have left my job, I love it so much and it's another one that has kept me alive since I was orphaned so it's not easy for me to suddenly leave what I am used to.

"Linnea, are you okay? You’re like an idiot there. What are you thinking?" Ciara suddenly asked me.

If only I could tell her about Hunter and what my problem is but I don't want my friend to be involved in the chaotic life I have entered.

"I just have a headache," I replied shortly and my senses were still soft.

"Is that how much you drank last night? Speaking of which, who is that man who went to the house and just took you?" .

"I just met him.” I simply replied.

Her eyebrows rose. "When and how? Why didn't I know him?"

"Just don't ask too much and just forget about it." I said.

"Anyway, please give this to our boss and I will go home now." I said and handed it to her.

She took it from me. "And what is this?"

"Obviously it’s a paper Ciara. That’s my resignation letter." I said.

I saw her eyes widen. "What? You're resigning? Why?"

"I've already found a new job, like you said the job I have is too dangerous and I might even get hurt." I explained.

"I know but that was fast, I guess, whereas before, even if I reprimanded you a few times, you didn't want to leave."

"I've been thinking, maybe I'd better try a new job as well." I said.

"What's your new job?"

"Office staff." she nodded, which was a good thing and she seemed to believe what I said.

"Are you sure about the job you got?"

I nodded even though the truth was I wasn't sure of my fate in Hunter's hands. "Don't worry about me Ciara, I will be okay."

"It's up to you, you're old now so you already know what's right and wrong, Just update me always."

"We'll still meet always. I just moved to work." I laugh.

She blinked. "I'm just saying Linnea girl, you know sometimes you are stupid."

I hit her quickly because of what she said, sometimes her tongue is really sticky.

I stayed there for a while because my friend was upset and when we finished talking, I said goodbye to leave. Knowing she still has a lot of work to do and doesn’t want to bother her,

I just arranged a few things and left, as soon as I came out of the building I saw a black car parked. I would have ignored it but when I looked at tp itI immediately recognized who it was.

Gosh! What is that man doing here outside of my place of work?

Every time I remember that he is the reason why the course of my life is gradually changing, I get distracted.

I sighed and continued walking because I didn’t know why he was here. And it's not my business anymore.

I was only a few steps away when someone violently pulled my arm. "Ouch! Let me go!" I shouted angrily.

"Where are you going?" Hunter asked me.

I glared at him. "What kind of question is that? I'm probably going home, can’t you see?"

"Don't inflict your misfortune on me. Get in my car." he said emphatically.

"What? And why would I do that? You can’t order me like that! And please stop bothering me. I've already resigned from my job to make sure I can’t interfere in your business anymore." I boldly said.

His face quickly darkened. "Don’t test my patience Linnea.”

"Which of these things I have said you can’t understand Hunter?" I said.

"Will you get in the car voluntarily or will you wait for me to get in by myself?"

So I sped off to his car. He is a manipulator!

When I sat down he also got into the car and drove quickly. I couldn’t help but stare at him while seriously driving. He is handsome but scary.

I don’t understand but all my life I didn’t feel scared to anyone even for how many years of working as a newscaster I’ve only felt like this when I met Hunter.

I just tilted my head and closed my eyes because of the headache as well. I don’t know why I drank so much so this is what I got.
