Understanding what he meant, she hugged him tightly. “You’ll be fine.”
A moment later, he pulled her away and put his hands on her shoulders. “A lot of things could happen. Promise me you’ll keep on living.”
“Alright. I promise you.” She embraced him, taking in his hug greedily. Every second she spent with him was precious, and she was reluctant to part with him.
When Selena was about to go to work the next day, she bumped into a couple of guys. They were in casual attire, but they looked like martial artists, and their gaze was sharper than most people. Selena had a good guess about who they were, since Pierre had told her about it. Hence, she nodded at them and followed their lead.
They went into a car and made a lot of turns before arriving at a remote area. There wasn’t any sign around to indicate where she was, so she felt slightly concerned, but the men started smiling after they went into the place.
“Don’t worry, Miss Yard. This is just some procedure we have to go through.” One of the men poured her a glass of water.
“Thank you.” She smiled.
The men then smiled at each other. “General Fowler got himself some lady. Aren’t you worried we might do anything to you? You came with us without asking anything.”
In response, Selena smiled back. “No. Well, you guys might not be a match for me even if you try anything.”
The men were shocked to hear that. “Confident.”
“Almost as confident as General Fowler himself.” That made them laugh.
