Chapter 13

• As we made our way to the entrance of my apartment building, Alfred proved himself to be a gentleman, showing no signs of taking advantage of the situation. Despite my reservations, I couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude towards him for ensuring my safety.
• However, my fleeting sense of relief was shattered by the presence of a man waiting outside in a sleek black Rolls-Royce Phantom. His intense gaze bore into me, sending shivers down my spine.
• Alfred seemed oblivious to the man's presence until a hand stopped him in his tracks. Turning to face him, Alfred's expression changed as he came face to face with the imposing figure of Burgess.
