They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System Chapter 361: Saying Goodbye 2

Chapter 361: Saying Goodbye 2

That thought made her chest tighten. Perhaps that was why he insisted on loading her up with so many things to take along, including foodstuffs for her parents and small gifts.

Nnenna was helpless and just accepted everything. The only problem now was that she couldn’t carry it all by herself. So, she called a cargo driver and packed everything into the back of the vehicle. After saying a final goodbye to the old man and his children, she left.

Once she turned a corner and was far away from familiar eyes, she asked the cargo driver to help her offload all the items in an empty, quiet space.

He looked surprised, he had assud he was helping her take the goods ho, not dropping them off in a random spot. Still, she paid him, and after a few more confused glances, he left.

Once Nnenna was sure no one else was around, she called out, “Guys, I need so help.”

To a passerby, it would seem like she was talking to empty space. But the two guards who had been silently trailing her the entire ti knew exactly who she was talking to. Slowly, they erged from their hidden positions and walked toward her.

Nnenna was even more impressed by their skills. She hadn’t been able to tell where exactly they were hidden, yet they hadn’t been far from her. And the fact that they heard her without her needing to shout? Incredible.

She truly hoped that by attending the academy, she could rise to their level, maybe even surpass them one day. How wonderful it would be to beco a force to be reckoned with, not just in Lionara, but perhaps even in the world.

As she took a step forward, the two guards stood silently, awaiting her instructions. They already had a good idea of what she wanted.

“I need you guys to help carry these things back to the castle,” Nnenna said.

The two n exchanged a glance. Was the Second Princess trying to find a clever way to ditch them? If they carried the items back to the castle, how would they be able to keep an eye on her? It almost sounded like a setup.

The Second Princess didn’t seem to realize the gravity of the situation, but it wasn’t their place to explain anything to her. It wasn’t as if they knew everything either, they just understood enough to know that being assigned to this mission ant her safety was top priority.

One of the guards quietly stepped aside and contacted so people to co pick up all the items and transport them back to the castle.

Nnenna rolled her eyes when she saw this. Of course it wasn’t going to be that easy to get rid of them.

Once she was sure everything was taken care of, she turned and walked away, heading toward the dance group. It didn’t take her long to find them, and when she did, she greeted them warmly.

She rembered she had promised she might return one day, and though it wasn’t much, she liked keeping her word. Nnenna wasn’t the type to just disappear, not when she’d made friends, no matter how small the bond.

Everyone deserves a good friend, and anyone could turn out to be one.

She had already decided she would just call Lady Chineye on the phone, there was no need to go all the way to the Duke’s mansion.

After bidding farewell to as many people as she could, Nnenna finally made her way toward the massive store. It was ti to face the overly suspicious Head Manager Abel.

The mont she walked into the store, all eyes turned to her. For starters, she didn’t look like a regular custor.

Most of the people who ca here were usually well dressed and carried an air of status or wealth. But when they took a closer look and realized it was Nnenna, recognition sparked in their eyes.

Whispers quickly rippled through the store like wildfire. It was hard not to notice her presence, Nnenna had always drawn attention, even when she wasn’t trying.

“She’s back?” soone muttered near the perfu aisle.

“I heard she and her friends, Lilian and Kosi, sohow beca heads of major departnts to Head Manager Abel,” another whispered, barely hiding their curiosity. “Can you imagine? From being fired by that small ti boutique manager on the second floor to working directly under Abel?”

“Please,” a third scoffed, “it’s probably just a rumor. She disappeared for weeks, so unprofessional. Who just vanishes like that without a word?”

A few of the junior staff exchanged glances. So smirked, clearly looking forward to the drama that would follow. They were convinced she was minutes away from being fired properly this ti. To them, it was long overdue.

But not everyone shared the sentint. A few of the older workers glanced at Nnenna with quiet pity. She had always been bold, sotis reckless, but she was also kind.

Whatever happened while she was gone must have been serious. Still, sympathy didn’t erase rules. She had broken plenty. Now, all ears waited for Head Manager Abel to make his move.

Nnenna ignored the stares and went straight to the highest floor, first, she had to see Head Manager Abel before going to her friends. She knocked once and entered when she heard the familiar “Co in.”

The secretary didn’t stop her. She already knew who Nnenna was, and like most others, she was also quietly convinced that this was the mont Nnenna would be officially fired.

Nnenna entered Abel’s office. The man looked up, and for a brief second, surprise flickered in his eyes before he leaned back and smiled slightly. “You finally decided to co back,” he said.

“I’m sorry, Head Manager. I’ve been negligent. I had so family issues to attend to, so I couldn’t properly ask for ti off… and I overstayed what my friends initially covered for ,” Nnenna said calmly.
