Chapter 742: ACT STUPID

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Tonight Kia deliberately took a rather long shift, where she should have returned home at twelve o’clock at night, she would be back home at three o’clock after finishing taking care of the final and closing shift of the night, because she really needed the money right now.

She must immediately raise money to find a new place because in six months Keira would get married and she couldn’t afford the apartment they were living in now alone.

Kia felt very tired, she hoped that the journey from where she worked to home would not take too long, so she could sleep right next to Mika, Kia even planned to just change clothes and not wash her face first.

She had to wake up just five hours later to attend her morning class, therefore, it wouldn’t be a problem if she skipped this for now.

Unfortunately, the journey from her work to her apartment would take at least an hour, so it was safe to say that her sleep time would be less than four hours.

Kia was walking with her eyes down, she no longer paid attention to her surroundings and just waved casually at the people who greeted her and just smiled faintly, she was too tired to even speak. Her head was spinning because tonight there were so many customers and there was no time for her to rest.

Even though she worked as a shift leader, she certainly couldn’t ditch the workload tonight and burden her colleagues, right? She couldn’t sit still doing nothing when everyone was so busy doing something.

Kia walked through the parking lot and had to wait for the bus at the bus stop. She felt that her legs were too heavy to walk because the stop was about ten minutes from the restaurant where she worked.

She was so tired that she didn’t notice her surroundings and didn’t realize that someone was following her.

“Kia,” Misha called when he saw the woman walking in front of him but didn’t see him, this time, he pulled Kia’s arm again like that afternoon.

Kia looked surprised that someone suddenly grabbed her arm and squealed because she thought it was a stranger, or a thief roaming around at night like this.

However, her surprised face turned cold when she found it was Misha who was standing in front of her.

This man was so tall and handsome, exactly the same as the last time she had seen him. He also looked very neat, as if he had just returned from a date.

“Let go,” Kia growled, but she didn’t have the strength to free her own hand, so she took a deep breath. She just wanted to return home sooner and be with Mika, but why did she have to deal with this man again?

And what was more, what was he doing here? How did he know where she worked?

Kia narrowed her eyes, but it seemed she had answers to all those questions. This bastard… if he could find out where Mika’s daycare was, of course Kia could assume he knew a lot of other things too, right?

“We need to talk,” Misha said, repeating the words he’d said the first time they met again. Did he not have anything else to say besides that?

Kia really wanted to scream in frustration at Misha that she didn’t want to talk, she didn’t want to fight, she didn’t even want to say a word. She wanted to sleep. Her body was very tired and the thought of sleeping next to Mika was really tempting.

“I don’t want to talk, so now let go of my hand,” Kia said in a voice that sounded very sharp.

But, as always, of course Misha would not listen to the request.

“Your face is pale,” Misha said in a worried voice. Under the streetlights in this parking lot, he could see how pale and tired Kia was. Was her life that hard? Misha frowned.

If only she had come to him and told him that she was pregnant with his child, of course she wouldn’t be in this kind of trouble, would she? There was no way Misha would refuse to support his own child and abandon them both.

But, why didn’t Kia come to him? Why didn’t she tell him she was pregnant with their child?

“Don’t touch me,” Kia said firmly while slapping Misha’s hand that was about to touch her face away. She didn’t like being touched by this man.

“I’ll take you home,” Misha said, it wasn’t a request, but a statement, for which he wouldn’t accept a single word of refusal.

“Stay away from me,” Kia growled, she tried to release his grip but she should have known it was a futile effort. She would gain nothing from trying this.

“I’ll take you home,” Misha repeated the sentence earlier and Kia was not at all pleased to hear that.

“I don’t want you to take me home.” From behind Misha, Kia could see four of her co-workers, all of whom were men, coming over to her because she had screamed earlier, they must have come to make sure she was okay.

Ugh. The problem would only get bigger if they got involved.

Misha was now busy pulling Kia toward his car. It had already been proved that he didn’t accept any refusals at all.

And just at that moment, the four men, who were Kia’s co-workers, came up to them.

“What is this?” asked Dion, he frowned when he saw Misha gripping Kia’s arm tightly and the woman’s face which showed that she didn’t like being treated like this. “Are you all right, Kia?”

However, Misha decided to ignore the man.

In that instant, Kia knew things weren’t going to go well and she had to stop this before things got out of hand even further.

“Let her go,” said Dion, he then stepped forward and tried to stop Misha, because his body was bigger than his three friends. He wanted to push Misha’s shoulder.

However, before he could touch him, Misha had pushed his hand away hard enough and this made Dion widen his eyes in disapproval of Misha’s treatment.

“Let go of her, okay?” Adam, another colleague, then intervened and now the four of them had surrounded Misha and Kia, even Ariel had grabbed Kia’s other hand and this made Misha feel even more displeased.

Misha then jerked Ariel’s hand which was holding Kia’s hand and pushed him away. He glared fiercely at the four men in front of him and even though he was greatly outnumbered, Misha didn’t show the slightest bit of fear in his dangerous and cold eyes. He looked at them with eyes that shone with anger.

“Okay, enough!” said Kia in the end. She just wanted to go home now, not watch this meaningless scuffle between these men. “It’s okay, I know him.”

Kia didn’t want to waste her time here, while her rest time was getting less and less now.

“You know him?” Adam asked, he squinted at Misha. “Are you okay? We heard you scream earlier,” he reminded Kia.

“Yeah, I’m fine, I was just surprised because he suddenly appeared,” said Kia. “No problem.”

The four men looked at Misha and Kia back and forth, but they couldn’t tell what was really going on.

However, it seemed they could only believe that what Kia said was true, that she knew this man.

“Call one of us if you need help,” said Ariel.

“Yes, of course,” Kia agreed immediately. She then gave them a small smile to reassure them that she was okay.

“Do you want us to wait or take you home?” asked Dion, offering to Kia.

“It’s okay, I’ll go home with him,” Kia said again, waving her hand so they could get out of there and she could go home in peace.

“Are you really all right?” Dion wanted to make sure, he looked at Misha and felt that his face was somewhat familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he saw this man.

“Yes, I am doing okay. I know him.” Kia really wanted to get out of there.

And after explaining a few things to them and calming them down and making sure that she would tell them when she got home, they finally relented and let Misha take Kia.

But, they still followed Kia and Misha to his car. And how the four men widened their eyes, dumbfounded in disbelief at the sports car that Misha was driving.

Meanwhile, Misha opened the car door for Kia and was about to fasten her seatbelt for her when the woman pushed his hand away.

“I can do it myself,” Kia said quietly. She was too tired to maintain that cynical attitude.

At that, Misha closed the car door and walked to the other side and immediately sat behind the wheel, ignoring the admiring gazes of the four men there.

He then started the car and drove out of the parking lot, while Kia was silent, sitting quietly.

Well, it wasn’t all that annoying, because that way, he could take Kia with him more easily, because he didn’t want a confrontation.

“Where is your house?” Misha asked. He wanted to break the silence between them by having small talk with Kia.

“No need to act stupid,” Kia said as she closed her eyes and leaned back. “If you know where Mika’s daycare is and where I work, you surely know where I live too.”
