“Miss, please give me a ticket to B City.” She forced a smile at the ticket seller.
The ticket seller politely responded: “Sorry, B City tickets are sold out.”
“Then give me a ticket to C City.” For her, finding a place to stay was all that mattered.
“Very sorry, C City tickets are also sold out.” The ticket seller apologized.
“A ticket to D City would work too.”
“Really sorry…”
“Just give me a ticket to any city.”
“I’m truly sorry, all tickets for today are sold out.”
“Then I’ll wait until tomorrow.” Carrying her luggage, she couldn’t even enter the waiting room because she had no ticket.
“Miss, give me a ticket to D City.” A man’s voice spoke.
“108 yuan, please wait.”
She realized the tickets weren’t sold out; they just weren’t selling to her.
The landlady’s words, unable to rent a room, hotels fully booked, unable to buy a bus ticket, and now even taxis were unavailable.
She could only think of Jun Hao behind all this.
Jun Hao, if you wanted me homeless, you’ve succeeded.
You won’t let me have peace, and I won’t let you be comfortable either.
Remembering what Jun Hao said this morning, she took out her phone to check the number he mentioned.
The phone connected, and before she could speak, a formulaic voice came through: “Miss An, please wait 60 seconds.”
“60 seconds?” She wondered if she misheard or the person misspoke.
“Miss An, please.” A sleek sedan stopped precisely beside her, driven by Cheng Hua, the man who brought her in this morning.
An Ke sat in the back seat without courtesy, her heart already resolved. If she only endured passively, when would it end?
The car quickly drove into the Jun family villa, with Cheng Hua still walking three steps ahead of her on the right.
“Miss An, please wait in the side hall. Our boss will come after finishing his spa, and I will then escort you.”
“I want to see him now.”
“But the boss has instructed that no one is to disturb him while he’s in the spa.”
“I said I want to see him now.” An Ke’s determined expression left Cheng Hua somewhat at a loss.
