On Fire novel Chapter 6

I furrowed my brows but I didn’t turn around. This was because someone like her would get more worked up and agitated the more you argued with her. I wouldn’t bother to continue this squabble with her.

When I reached the last flight of stairs downstairs, I happened to see Kenneth together with his underling. They seemed to be waiting for their driver. I went over to greet them out of gratitude.

He shot a sideway glance at me inquisitively, “Are you alone?”

“That’s right.”

I nodded as I stole a glance at him. He was indeed very handsome, and it was the first time I met someone as impressive as him. Therefore, I was still terrified every time I recalled my actions just now. I was really too courageous.

He knitted his brows and followed up with another question, “Where do you stay?”

“In the JF Apartment. I am taking a taxi there.”

“Oh.”

As we were engaged in our conversation, a Hummer vroomed to a stop at the main entrance, creating some noise. That underling of his immediately stepped forward to pull open the car door. He appeared to be extremely courteous.

When Kenneth got into the car, he glanced at me before muttering, “Get in. I’ll send you this once.”

“…Thank you Mr. Quinn!”

I was a little terrified, but I still got into his car. His underling settled into the passenger’s seat with his eyes focused on a point in space in front of him. He didn’t even steal any glance at me all the while. I was really curious as to how he was able to steel his heart in such way with the way he was able to be so unperturbed by everything.

Perhaps people like them had already reached a very high level of existence in life.

The car sped along the highway, and Kenneth was simply staring out of the window without making a sound. I sneaked a glance at him and realized that his side-profile was really heartrending. It would be a waste for someone as delicate as him not to be a star or artist.

“Have you worked in the ‘Golden Emperor’ before this?”
