They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System Chapter 46 - 46 Bus Fare

Chapter 46: Bus Fare Chapter 46: Bus Fare The Love System chid in, “Good idea, but there’s one problem, you don’t have any cash money right now for bus fare.

How are you planning to get to his office?

It’s a bit far from here.” The 15 year old girl thought hard, her mind racing.

She didn’t know anyone who could loan her money, except for Four, Somto and Ikenna.

Her elder brother was absent as usual.

She quickly dismissed the idea of asking Four.

He was as cold and indifferent as ever; his aloof personality ant she wouldn’t get far with him.

That left Ikenna, Four’s friend.

He was more approachable and easier to deal with.

After all, he had been kind to her before and always seed willing to help when she needed sothing.

Decision made, Nnenna adjusted her clothes, carefully keeping up her act as a patient.

With purpose in her steps, she dressed up for the outing and headed to the administrative floor.

When she stepped out of the elevator, the director’s secretary looked at her, surprised.

“Why is she here?” the secretary wondered to herself before recognition dawned.

This was Princess Nnenna Achebe, the VIP patient Director Ikenna had specifically instructed her to pay attention to.

Her expression softened, and she gave a polite nod of acknowledgnt.

The secretary glanced at her with a mix of curiosity and caution as she walked over.

“Little girl, can I help you with anything?” “Yes, ma’am.

I want to see the director,” Nnenna replied politely.

“Do you have an appointnt?” the secretary asked, tilting her head slightly.

“No, ma’am, I don’t have an appointnt, but I really need to see him,” Nnenna said earnestly.

The secretary hesitated for a mont, sizing her up.

Rembering the director’s explicit instructions to prioritize the princess’s needs, she decided to let her in.

“Wait here,” she said, standing from her desk.

She walked ahead and knocked softly on the director’s office door.

“Excuse , sir.

Princess Nnenna is here to see you.

Should I let her in?” she asked cautiously.

A calm but firm voice ca from inside.

“Yes, let her co in.” The secretary returned to Nnenna, her deanor polite.

“The director will see you now,” she said, motioning for her to go inside.

Nnenna adjusted her posture, took a deep breath, and stepped into the office, ready to present her request.

Nnenna stepped inside the office, closing the door gently behind her.

She didn’t imdiately look at the owner of the room.

Instead, her curious eyes wandered over the furnishings, the polished desk, the large windows letting in light, and the neatly arranged shelves of books.

“Your office is really nice,” she remarked, finally turning her attention to the man behind the desk.

“I guess that’s why you’re the director, huh?” she added with a small smile.

Ikenna leaned back in his chair, amusent flickering in his eyes.

“You’ve been here for almost two months, yet this is the first ti you’ve co to see ,” he noted, his tone teasing.

“You only ever seem interested in spending ti with my friend.

But today, here you are.

What do you need?” His words struck like an arrow, as though he had already figured her out.

Realizing that he wasn’t easily deceived, Nnenna shifted slightly, determined to stand her ground and get what she ca for “Okay, I need so money,” Nnenna said plainly, not at all surprised that he had seen through her intentions.

Ikenna raised an eyebrow, leaning forward with a curious smile.

“So that’s why you ca all the way here?” he asked with a chuckle.

“What do you need money for?” His tone was light, but there was an undercurrent of curiosity, given his responsibility to look after her during her stay.

Nnenna frowned slightly at his question.

“I’m a girl; what do you think I need money for?” she replied, avoiding his gaze.

“Well,” Ikenna began, leaning back in his chair again, “I know that everything you need has been provided by the housekeeper who checks on you.

So what else could you possibly need money for?” His eyes twinkled as he waited for her response.

Nnenna hesitated, realizing she wasn’t getting anywhere.

“I need…” She faltered, then sighed, giving up her façade.

“I need bus fare.” “Bus fare?” Ikenna asked, tilting his head slightly.

“If your family wanted you to leave the hospital, they would have given you money just in case.

But the fact that you don’t have any money, yet have everything else provided for you, suggests one thing—” His smile widened.

“You’re not supposed to leave the hospital.” “So no, I’m not going to give you any money,” Ikenna concluded, his tone firm but still wearing that ever present smile.

Nnenna’s face fell, and a flicker of frustration flashed across her eyes.

Of course, she already knew her family didn’t want her to go anywhere, that was obvious, but their overprotectiveness was more like monitoring to her.

She gritted her teeth, thinking bitterly that they obviously didn’t like her.

So why would they want to keep her safe when they couldn’t wait for her to die to throw her into a forest What she didn’t know, however, was that the “family” Ikenna referred to wasn’t those abstract, distant people.

It was her eldest brother, Somto who had personally given him strict instructions to ensure his sister’s safety, including forbidding her from leaving the hospital without supervision.

Ikenna studied her carefully, taking in the sadness now written across her face.

“Is that friend so important to you that you’re willing to risk leaving the hospital?

Especially when we still don’t know why you had that seizure?” he asked, trying to appeal to her reason.

“I know,” she replied, her voice resolute, “but that friend is very important to .

I need to go.” For a mont, he said nothing, simply observing her with the sa calm, assessing gaze.

Then, he shook his head.

“I can’t give you money.” “Fine,” Nnenna said sharply, crossing her arms.

“I’ll just go and ask Four for the money.

I’m sure he’ll be thrilled to help ,” she added with a sarcastic edge, turning toward the door.
