Chapter 252

The next day, Stella woke up early.

Her sleep was plagued with nightmares.

She dreamt of that fat man holding her hostage and laughing out loud like a devil.

It was just the crack of dawn when she got out of bed, prepared for work, and then headed out.

She wasn’t feeling herself this morning.

She was zoning out and feeling exhausted due to the lack of sleep.

Stella made a stop at the cafe close to the company to get a cup of coffee.

Just as she was walking to the company, a black car suddenly came out of nowhere.

It was headed straight for her.

After freezing like a deer caught in headlights, Stella snapped back to her senses and took a few steps back.

One of her heels suddenly gave away due to the scraping on the interlocked ground.

She tripped and fell on her butt with a thud.

The car was closer than ever now.

Horrified, Stella shut her eyes and screamed.

Suddenly, she heard the screeching sound of tires.

Stella waited to hear another sound.

When she didn’t, she opened her eyes.

The black car was right in her face.

She could touch the bumper just by leaning forward.

At this time, a young man got out of the car.

Jeremy Rivera took off his sunglasses and put them on the collar of his shirt.

His handsome face looked somewhat rough and cold.

He stepped forward and asked indifferently, “Hey, miss.

Are you hurt?”

“No, I’m fine,” Stella responded immediately, shaking her head.

She then placed one hand on the ground and attempted to stand up on her own.

Seeing how difficult it was for her, Jeremy frowned and asked, “You are headed to work, right? Hop in and I’ll drive you there.

”

“No, thanks.

” Stella waved her hand and refused.

“I work nearby.

It won’t take me long to get there.

You don’t have to take responsibility for what happened.

I should have paid attention to my surroundings while walking on the roadside.

”

She thought he was only being nice because he felt guilty, so she made her opinion clear just so he would get off her back.

To her surprise, he looked down at her feet and said, “How do you intend to get to work on a broken heel?”

Stella was stunned.

Before she could turn him down again, Jeremy helped her up and gestured to his car.

“Let me drive you.

Where exactly do you work?”

His adamancy forced Stella to answer, “Prosperity Group.
