They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System Chapter 47 - 47 To Reuben's Work Place

Chapter 47: To Reuben’s Work Place Chapter 47: To Reuben’s Work Place She knew full well that Four wouldn’t be happy about her request, or anything, for that matter, but she figured it was better to try and fail than not to try at all.

Gripping the door handle, she braced herself.

Behind her, the ntion of Four’s na made Ikenna’s casual deanor disappear.

He sat up straighter, his smile vanishing.

“Wait,” he called out, his tone incredulous.

“You would rather ask that block of ice than ?” He stood up abruptly, grabbing his coat.

“Co on.

I’ll drive you there.

I may not be allowed to give you bus fare, but I can at least take you.” “No,” Nnenna snapped imdiately, her voice sharp and firm.

“I want to go alone.

I don’t want you to co with .” The urgency in her tone only deepened Ikenna’s suspicions.

He narrowed his eyes at her, leaning slightly against his desk.

“Well, now that you’ve said that,” he replied, his voice steady but firm, “I definitely have to co with you.

It’s either I go with you, or you don’t go at all.” His tone left no room for argunt, and Nnenna could see the determination in his expression.

She sighed, realizing that he wasn’t bluffing, if she pushed too hard, he would likely lock her in her room or assign security to monitor her movents.

Finally, she relented.

“Fine,” she said through gritted teeth.

“Let’s go.

But don’t stand in my way when we get there.” She turned on her heel, opened the door with a flourish, and walked out before he could respond or try to catch up.

Ikenna shook his head, a faint smile playing on his lips despite himself.

He quickly grabbed his car keys and followed her out The secretary observed as Nnenna marched out of the office with determined strides, already nearing the elevator.

Director Ikenna followed behind, his much longer strides allowing him to close the distance quickly.

The scene was unintentionally comical, with the petite girl charging forward and the tall director trailing her like an amused parent keeping up with a tantrum throwing child.

Just as Ikenna reached the elevator, Nnenna stepped inside and pressed the close button before he could enter.

He stopped, shaking his head at her antics as the doors slid shut.

A smirk tugged at the corner of his lips as he muttered, “She seems to forget that at the end of the day, she still has to wait for in the parking lot since I’m the one driving.” Victor, a junior staff mber passing by, caught the mont and stopped to observe.

His brows raised in amusent as he glanced between the closed elevator doors and Ikenna standing in front of them.

“Trouble in paradise, Director?” he teased lightly, unable to suppress his grin.

Ikenna turned toward Victor with a dry look but couldn’t hold back his own small laugh.

“Not trouble.

Just… a very spirited girl,” he replied.

Adjusting his coat, he pressed the elevator button again, knowing he would eventually catch up with her downstairs.

Victor chuckled, watching the usually composed director show an unusual patience and amusent for the fiery girl.

“Well, she definitely knows how to keep things interesting,” he comnted, stepping away as Ikenna gave a faint nod and turned his attention back to the elevator display.

The n in the hospital’s first surveillance room watched Nnenna’s figure on the screen.

When they saw her heading toward the parking lot again, they assud she was going to play or get fresh air as usual.

With that thought, they relaxed, turning their focus to other screens.

Just as Ikenna expected, Nnenna reached the parking lot and stood there, tapping her foot on the concrete floor impatiently.

An orderly passing by looked at her curiously but moved on without comnt.

Nnenna spotted Ikenna’s car parked in the director’s designated space and made her way to it.

She climbed into the passenger seat without saying a word since it was an open roof car, her mood evident in her stiff posture and silence.

Monts later, Ikenna arrived, unlocking the car and sliding into the driver’s seat.

He glanced at her briefly, smirking to himself as he started the engine.

Without a word, he drove them out of the parking lot and onto the road within minutes.

As the director’s car exited the parking lot and rged onto the expressway, the n in the surveillance room quickly realized the situation.

Their panic wasn’t about mistrusting Ikenna but about the absence of any backup to ensure the princess’s safety.

They imdiately grabbed their radios and called Squad 3.

“Squad 3, co in!

We need you to follow the princess imdiately.

The director’s car has entered the expressway.

Be prepared to follow discreetly!” The leader of Squad 3 replied without hesitation, “Yes, sir!” He turned to his team, signaling them to gear up.

Within monts, Squad 3 was in motion, their car pulling out of the hospital’s secondary parking lot.

They maintained a safe distance, ensuring their presence wouldn’t be noticed while staying close enough to intervene if necessary On the expressway, Ikenna glanced briefly at Nnenna before returning his focus to the road.

His tone was calm but firm as he asked, “Where exactly are we going?” Without hesitation, Nnenna replied, “We’re going to Build a Fortune Finance Company.” Her response caused Ikenna’s eyebrows to shoot up in surprise.

“That company is far from here,” he remarked, shaking his head slightly.

“It’s at least an hour’s drive from the hospital.

What kind of friend asks you to co all the way there?

And besides,” his tone turned slightly more skeptical, “you don’t even have a phone.

How exactly did this friend contact you?” The skeptical look Ikenna gave her made Nnenna turn her attention to the window, avoiding his eyes.

“You said you were going to drive there,” she said sharply.

“Are you going back on your word now?” “No,” Ikenna replied firmly.

“I’m not going back on my word.

I’ll drive you there.

But when we get to that company, I’m going inside with you to see what this is all about.

There’s no way I’m letting you go alone.” CREATORS’ THOUGHTS JedidiahBeaufoy Music: Oh I need power stones, privileged readers, gifts, golden tickets, collections, premium readers, reviews, chapter comnts, paragraph comnts…these would really make happy….This is my song right now guys!
