None did.
I checked my watch. It was 8:47 a.m.
“Damn it,” I muttered.
He was still honking.
By 8:50, I gave up.
I opened the car door and got in, slamming it shut without a word.
“Take me to my workplace,” I said flatly.
He didn’t start the engine immediately. He turned to me instead.
“You’re not working there anymore.”
I blinked. “Excuse me?”
“You will be working for me now. As my personal assistant. I’ll pay you four thousand dollars a month.”
I stared at him like he’d grown another head.
“You’re crazy if you think I’d leave my job to work for you.”
He didn’t respond. He just drove.
To my hotel.
The one I had worked at for months.
I got out of the car, ignoring the strange tight feeling in my chest.
I walked through the lobby and found my manager by the desk.
“Hey, Mr. Gregor Sorry I’m a few minutes late. There was-“
“Liana,” he said, cutting me off.
Something in his voice made my heart skip.”You’re laid off.”
My mouth opened. “What?”
He looked at me. “You’re laid off.”
“Mr. Gregor… please!” I dropped to my knees in front of him. My voice was shaking. My eyes burned. “Please don’t do this. I’ve worked so hard. I’m always early. I stay late. I clean twice as good as anyone else here. Please… I need this job. I have a son.”
He didn’t meet my eyes. “Liana… we’re laying off some staff. You were just… unlucky.”
“But why?” I asked, breathless. “You literally said last week that we needed more help. You said we were short-staffed. Why now? Why me?!”
He didn’t answer. He just looked away and walked off like I hadn’t just poured out my heart.
I turned to my colleagues. Some looked down. Some turned their faces. But one woman, Nina, was watching me with eyes.
“You too?” I asked her.
She shook her head slowly. “No. It’s just you.”
Just me…
I stood up slowly, my chest tightening. My legs were weak as I walked out of the building. The sun hit nothing. My whole body was numb.
Killian was still there. Standing by his car. Waiting. as if he knew this would happen.
I got in without a word.
He didn’t look at me. Just started the car and pulled off.
I turned to him. “What did you mean earlier? When you said I wasn’t working there anymore?”
He didn’t reply.
“Killian?” I snapped. “Were you behind this? Did you do this to me?!”
He didn’t say anything. His eyes stayed on the road.
“Answer me!” I shouted. “You think you can just control everything?!”
He kept driving.
“I’m done, Killian! I swear I am done with you. Done with your obsession. You’re not normal. You’re not even human. You’re… something else.”
He still said nothing. It was like talking to a wall.
“Stop the car I’m going to look for another job.”
Don’t bother,” he said calmly
I turned to him slowly. “What does that mean?”
“It means you won’t find any.”
My heart skipped.14111″What… what did you do, Killian?”
He didn’t answer.
I opened the car door at the next stop sign and climbed out. He didn’t stop me.
I walked faster than I could. angry and determined.
I saw a small bar up the street with a bright red HELP WANTED sign. I rushed in.
The woman behind the counter gave me a warm smile. “Hi, sweetheart. How can I help you?”
“I saw your sign. I’m looking for work. I’ve worked in hotels for years. I’m fast, hardworking, and I really need this.”
