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.

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
