My Boss Loves Me Chapter 28
I'm barely breathing.The sound of heavy footsteps was getting closer, I held my cell phone tighter. I wish I could slow my racing heart too."If he finds you ... " Nick's voice sounded almost growl, "Run."I want to answer him, I bit my lips a little hard to prevent it. I want to ask where he is now, I just want to hear his voice speak. Anything to ease the fear that gripped me right now. I pushed my body to the cubic corner, to the darker side. I hid my body under the table so that it was almost invisible. The only way he knows where to hide me is just by checking the cubic on this floor one by one."Alice ... you're in charge of the elevator. I'm going to check the fire escape." Nick's voice, which was slightly panting again, sounded like he was running. A little relief dispelled my fear."El-Ella?"My heart nearly stopped beating when I heard that sound echo across the floor."Ella, I know you're here .. " she repeated again, but the voice sounded scared."Ella, please ... She-She'
My Boss Loves Me Chapter 29
When I woke up I was still where I was before, on the carpeted floor of the room. It's just that at this moment the pain that almost killed me earlier disappeared, as well as the burning feeling I felt before. I couldn't feel anything but I couldn't move my body either. The only thing I could move were my eyelids when I blinked.And there is another problem that makes me uncomfortable at the moment, my throat feels very dry. It was like having eaten a bowl of hot, coarse sand. I couldn't open my mouth to scream, even though I wasn't sure I had the voice to scream anymore.For the next nearly three hours I could only stare up at the ceiling of the room above me and blink, I couldn't tell if it was morning or night. My body was still in the exact same position it was before I lost consciousness. I couldn't feel my breath or my heartbeat at all.Is this what it feels like to die? No ... I'm still aliveVarious thoughts raced through my head.What is Lana doing now, has she noticed I'm mis

(POV - Nicholas Shaw)Eleanor took my hand even though her gaze still looked doubtful. I smiled at her to ease her nerves, her amber eyes widening as they stared at me. For the umpteenth time with her I could not believe my luck.She is mine. Almost. But after I reply to Alastair, She will truly be mine. Alastair will pay for what he did, slowly and painfully.But now I don't want to think about it, not when Eleanor is in my arms like this."Eleanor." Even her name sounded perfect on my lips. She replied to me by winking once, the amber color of her eyes had changed from dark to lighter. How can I be this lucky?"You just have to get close to my neck and your instincts will guide you." her gaze shifted to my neck, I know how much the burning hurts. New Leeches usually need 5 liters of fresh blood when they've just transformed and beyond my expectation Eleanor could hold it this long. But still I don't want to make her suffer any longer. She has to neutralize Alice's blood in her body.
My Boss Loves Me Chapter 31
(Eleanor's POV)The burning sensation in my throat woke me up in the dark. I pulled the blanket that covered my body then got out of bed, even though there was almost no light illuminating this place but I could still see clearly.Nick is not next to me. A slight sense of panic interrupted this burning feeling. I swallowed my spit and walked towards the door, maybe Nick was in the living room.Am I going to drink his blood again? The memory of the taste of his blood filling my throat a few hours ago made the burning worse, but a second later disgust followed.Nick's blood ... didn't taste like blood at all.It tasted like the most delicious thing that had ever touched my tongue. Hearing his pulse as his thick, warm stream of blood ran down my throat, I've never felt that good before.But after I finished Nick seemed to keep his distance from me, he even tried to get away from me as fast as possible. Is he mad because I took too much blood? I swallowed my saliva again before turning th
My Boss Loves Me Chapter 32
There are several things that changed in my life after becoming a Leech.First of course, blood. I couldn't smell the disgusting rancid smell of blood anymore, on the contrary, human food became disgusting to me. Nick told me after a few weeks my appetite would return to normal, but of course with more blood intake.Then all my senses, from smell to hearing, became sharper. I just realized that everyone has their own signature smell, and humans to me smell like ... food. I tried to hide my disgust and surprise when I realized I wanted to approach the room service guy who was cleaning our room. Blood that comes from the source directly is indeed more tempting than bottled blood .Again, Nick says I just need to get used to it.He's taught me a few things over the past two days, like how to hide my fangs and how to keep my anger in check so my eyes don't change. An angry Volder's eyes would turn black, just like the ones I'd seen in Nick a few months ago. While Leech will turn red, like

My whole body tensed up when I heard it.Right after Greg told me Nick came out of the room. His dark brown hair was still half wet, he was wearing black pants and a white shirt. One of his hands carried his black coat. He looked up then smiled a little at me, "You guys haven't finished yet?"I can hear Greg calling my name from the cellphone but I don't answer him. The smile on Nick's face faded as he walked towards me "Eleanor, what's wrong?" He put his jacket on the pantry table before grabbing my waist. My body jumped a little when he touched me making him pull the corners of his mouth down."There isn't anything" I answered quickly, I did not return the hug."Greg made you angry again?" He let go of the hug then took his phone from my hand to talk to Greg. My eyes stared at his broad chest which was half a meter away from me, but my mind was still stuck on Greg's last sentence. Elizabeth is dead?I couldn't stop my gaze from turning to Nick's face. He had just turned off his cell
My Boss Loves Me Chapter 34
It's been almost 3 hours since I left San Francisco. I closed my eyes for a moment while pressing my temple against the cold bus window. I can't use the plane because Nick can track it easily. So I took the night bus bound for California. Greg had booked a plane ticket on my behalf to Washington DC, only to temporarily distract Nick. I've also left a little trail indicating I'm going to Washington.I hug my backpack which contains several clothes and two bottles of blood. I only carry cash, the only way to reach Greg if I need help is a public phone. But I bet there are no pay phones in Redforest National Park, California. I sighed until the window next to me was dewy. I'm thankful the bus is quiet enough because I'm still not sure of the control I have if I stay too long near humans.I stare blankly at the darkness of the night outside, what is Nick doing now? He should be awake and probably looking for me. No, He must be looking for me.I glanced at the digital clock on the wall of
My Boss Loves Me Chapter 35
My heavy eyes were hard to open. It felt like I had just slept so long that my body ached."No, that's enough." a male voice came from next to me.Wait a minute, I recognize this voice. Where have I heard of it?"Thank you Clea." The voice spoke again. I forced my mind to focus and remember. Where have I been-I opened my eyes with difficulty. A shadowy room greeted my eyes. Alastair. It was Alastair's voice."Eleanor? Are you awake?" He spoke again from beside me, but my vision was still a little blurry."Nick ... " I muttered in an indistinct voice. "Too bad he's not here at the moment."I blinked my eyes several times even though the effect made my head hurt. A light blue room greeted me when my view was clearer, I was in a hotel room. It's the same hotel I was in Manhattan a year and a half ago, before I met Nick. Alastair sat next to my bed looking at me with a bit of concern "Are you feeling better?" he asked.'How-""I kidnapped you." Reply without waiting for my question."How
