Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 248

The elevator door slowly closed, and Bonnie’s eyes were filled with resentment, staring at me like a vengeful ghost in a horror movie

This ghost woman seemed to be constantly haunting me. In my past life, I was madly trying to find her, intrigued by whatever charm she had that could obsess Nel so much.

In this life, though, I just wish she would stay the hell away from me and not show up in front of me anymore.

After leaving the hotel, I rushed straight back to work.

Just as I arrived at the office, my phone started to ring. It was Neil calling “Why didn’t you tell me when you left?” he asked.

“Why should 17” I responded, not getting his point.

“I was going to ride with you back, I didn’t drive here” Neil sounded like he was treating me as his personal chauffeur. He added, “You drove me here, don’t you remember?”

His unreasonable words left me speechless. After a moment of silence, I finally asked, “Don’t you have your own chauffeur? Or maybe Louis could give you a lift”

Neil responded coldly, “You drove me here, so you should drive me back.”

I didn’t have time for Neils nonsense and hung up on him.

After a long day at work, I left the office exhausted and rushed to the hospital to visit my mom

“Ms. Finch, another man came to visit your mother in the past two days. He seemed to have worked here before, the nurse told me.

I nodded silently because I knew it was Russel.

I wondered if his injuries were getting better. The fight with Neil that night left both of them hurt, but Russel seemed to be the worse off
