“I'm ready to go to work,” June said, ignoring Drake's difficult gaze.
"Very well," Drake replied, standing up.
He then motioned for June to walk ahead of him to the exit. Drake didn't say anything until they were in Drake's car heading to the office. June pretended not to know, even though she could sense something odd about Drake. His demeanor was silent, but his eyes were investigating, who knows what he really thought. June thought maybe Drake was still angry after June accidentally spattered water to his face. June was silent too, trying to act as if nothing had happened.
The trip to work was the loneliest trip June had ever had. Drake didn't even turn on the music to break the silence. As Drake parked his car in the basement of the office building, June let out a sigh of relief without realizing it
During work hours, Drake does not mention back what happened until the working hour is over."I'll take you home," said Drake."No need. I can go home by myself,”June replied, carrying her bag."June ...""My car is still in the office parking lot, I'll take it home today. Thank you for your attention, Mr. Burton. Good evening,” June said again. She then strolled away before Drake could say anything.June does not care anymore, after this she will find a way to immediately resign from office. June couldn't take it anymore. Drake would keep pressing on her, while the rest of the employees were already eyeing her. Even at lunch, June could only eat alone. No one wants to be close to her.
"I'm not here as her boss, I'm here as myself," Drake replied.The look in his eyes made June shudder, as did Alarick's. The usually friendly gray-eyed man now looked just as terrifying."You two, calm down. This is where I live. I decide who can come, who can't. Understand?" June finally asked. The two men stared at June, then glanced at each other with sarcasm."I was here first, after all I have something important with you. Aren't we, June?" asked Alarick."I also have important things I need to discuss with June," Drake said not to be outdone."You can talk about that another time," Alarick said, causing Drake to widen his eyes."Alarick, Drake, I'm so tired. I don't want to
June took a step back. Even though she couldn't see anything in the darkness, she could feel someone in the darkness. Now, June could even hear his footsteps approaching towards June."Wh-who's there?" June asked in a low, trembling voice.Now June could hear someone laughing. It wasn't clear whether it was a female or a male voice, but June was almost certain it was a male voice. June was shaking, the hairs on her neck stood on end. Is there a ghost in her apartment? June wasn't sure, but it was terrible. June kept stepping back every time she heard approaching footsteps.“Don't you dare come any closer,” June said as she tried to grab whatever object was around her. She found a flower vase and she immediately pointed it forward, as if the flower vase was a weapon. June's breath started to hitch as her
June woke up because her stomach felt very hungry. Her body felt very weak and her head was dizzy. She had almost forgotten what had just happened, but when she opened her eyes, June just remembered what had just happened. Not only that, she just realized Drake was sitting in the chair beside her bed staring at her intently."Finally you awake," said Drake."You're still here?" asked June.June glanced at the alarm clock she put on the nightstand, eleven o'clock at night. June's body felt weak. When she tried to get up, June realized that her forehead was compressed with a wet towel. On the carpet was a plastic container filled with water and the boss had taken off his coat and folded his sleeves up to his elbows."You have a fever," said Drake.
Drake took a deep breath. It would be useless if he forced June right now, so Drake decided to leave June alone. At the same time, Drake's cell phone rang. Drake knew who was calling."Hello... Yes, I'm going there now," Drake replied.June glared at him. Drake would probably meet a woman this time. That's not a strange thing. June knows Drake's habits, right? Rich playboy. Many girls will deliberately throw themselves on his bed."We'll talk another time, June," said Drake. His voice was loud, unlike what he had expected. Drake almost cursed himself. He knew his tone sounded more like threatening or scolding than pleading for another chance to speak. Of course, Drake didn't want himself to sound like he was begging, but at least he hoped his tone wasn't that harsh. June looked at him with disdain.
- Several Hours Before –Alarick hadn't actually left June's apartment. He waited a while until he saw something strange coming from the direction of June's apartment unit. Alarick ran towards the back of the apartment building. From there he could jump straight to the window of June's apartment unit. But his steps stopped when he saw Drake there. Drake ran then with his dragon wings he flew straight to June's apartment.Alarick could already guess what would happen next. He chose to watch from a distance. Drake had definitely thwarted Altair's desire to take June away. What was Altair thinking anyway? He was a fool to think he could immediately take June away after he found out that Alarick and Drake were around June. Alarick snorted at Altair'
June cried until she didn't know when she fell asleep. Everything was too confusing for June. June actually didn't understand why she could cry like that. All that confusion wasn't enough to make her cry like this, but why did her heart hurt so much? Was it because of her hurt pride? But why does it hurt like this? June fell asleep from exhaustion, she had even forgotten her hunger. June didn't even realize when she had entered her dream. So tired, June can no longer distinguish between dream and reality. A few minutes later, she realized that this couldn't be true. June felt herself in a dark forest. However, the sunlight that seeps through the shady leaves indicates that it's not nighttime. Even so, the situation inside the forest was so dark, only a little sunlight could escape. June looked around, she had never been in the forest before.
June woke up when the sun was starting to rise. She woke up feeling achy and dizzy. She touched her forehead and it was still hot. But in the kitchen, there was a noise like someone was in his apartment. June sighed, who else was there? Why was everyone free to go in and out of her apartment even though she had locked it tightly?With great difficulty, June tried to get out of bed even though her body was very weak. The clock on the nightstand was eleven o'clock in the afternoon, which meant that she had missed dinner, breakfast, and now it was almost lunch time. June couldn't believe she had slept that long.“Go back to your bed, June!” someone shouted from outside the room.Uh? Isn't that his voice....?June's guess proved right when the door to her apartme
