I went back into the living room. Not far away, Marius stopped in his tracks all of a sudden.
He looked a little forlorn. Was he not going to leave?
As if realizing something, I switched off the lights.
Marius left after that.
I leaned beside the window and watched Marius' car drive off gradually before turning on the lights again.
I felt a little pained inside. I did not think I was a cold or selfish person, but people around me have had something happen to them one after another. It was obvious that someone was giving me a warning.
I could not put them in danger for my own benefit.
I lay on the bed, exhausted. I thought about all that had happened in the past few days. I gradually fell asleep.
In the dark, I kept sensing a pair of sharp eyes staring at me, and that made me uncomfortable.
I was well aware there would be the possibility of an accident occurring with every day I remained in Whaldorf City. Thus, I could only spend every minute and every second like it was a fluke.
“Wanda, why have you been working so hard lately?” Shannon's questioning voice sounded from the other side.
I replied without looking up, “When have I never worked hard?”
“That's true, but you should also rest and not get too tired. What if you collapse?”
Knowing that Shannon was worried about me, I nodded. “I know.”
I forgot about my situation temporarily thanks to all the busy work at Green Orange. Since my car had been sent for maintenance, I could only drag my exhausted body along as I walked home. It just so happened I could take this chance to get some fresh air.
Suddenly, a few burly men dressed in black and with shades stood in front of me. They blocked my path while wearing malicious expressions.
I frowned alertly and pretended to be calm. “What do you want?”
Why was it this method again?
