She couldn't quite believe what she was hearing.

"I can make my way back."

Freya frowned, asking, "What kind of rule is that?"

"You know, I've made quite a few enemies overseas. If they find out where I live, it could spell trouble. So, please, Ms. Dawson, don't make things harder for me."

When Preston said this, Freya could almost see a chilling gleam in his eye, the kind one might have after committing a cold-blooded act.

Freya suddenly found herself at a loss for words. This place was secluded. Hardly a soul passed by. It wouldn't take much effort if Preston wanted her gone.

"I... I can walk out and call a cab." Freya's voice was barely a whisper.

Preston raised an eyebrow. "If you're up for a midnight trek of over a mile, be my guest."
