My Emotionless Goddess

Chapter 7: secure the whole house

” At Least he’s honest and doesn’t deny it.” Lucia grumbled.

If it was up to her, she wouldn’t allow their friend to go with such a man. A man whose reputation was soiled. The city Casanova. But she was aware that this was not about her, but about Miranda’s safety. Despite her poor impression of the guy, she didn’t have another choice. Lucia was no ignorant person, she understood clearly the intensity of their current predicament. She knew she had to swallow her judgemental words and focus on the greater good.

” I think we should get going, I guess you don’t want the media and those crazy fans finding your location and storming here because trust me, it will be a traumatic experience.” Justin said.

” I need to go to my apartment and take a few things from there.” Miranda said, causing Justin to snap his head and look at her.

” Is there anything you are picking that is not available in the market?” he asked.

” No but I can’t just go without even the basic necessities.” Miranda argued back.

” Are you ready to risk your life for a few things that could be bought at any convenient store?” Justin questioned, his voice coming out louder than intended.

Truth is he was angry. He was angry that she still wanted to risk her life even after he warned her how dangerous it could be.

” No need for that Miranda, I’ll send you anything you want, just text me the details.” Stacy said, trying to stop the argument that was bound to erupt soon enough.

Stacy wondered how the two alpha males will manage to stay peacefully. Their friend was no pushover and never appreciated it when someone tries to control her life. She is a woman who has been in charge of her life since the death of her parents when she was only eighteen.

Over the years, she has been responsible for the company as well as her life. She’s used to making decisions on her own.

On the other hand, the man, Justin, seemed to be a control freak. What happens when two strong headed people come together, wasn’t that the declaration of third world war?

She wished she could be there to watch them fighting over every single thing.

” I guess now we can leave?” Justin asked , cocking a brow at Miranda.

Ignoring him, Miranda hugged her three besties. With the current development of situations, who knows when they’ll meet again.

“Take care of yourself and don’t forget to call us everyday.” Stacy said to which Miranda replied with a simple nod.

” If that guy dares play any tricks, just call me. I’ll come immediately to blow his brains or better yet to kick his ass.” Lucia added, earning a chuckle from Miranda.

” He can’t try anything funny, otherwise it’s me who will beat him up. The two ladies laughed at that thought.

” Take this chance to fall in love, he’s a great guy. It’s about time you prove to Carlos that you deserve better.” Ava advised and smiled hoping that Lucia did not hear her.

After hugging goodbye to her friends, Miranda walked past Justin and headed out.

” See you ladies.” Justin said and hurried to catch up with the lady who was taking long strides without having the consciousness to wait for him.

” Can’t you slow down? do you even know where you are going?” Justin asked in a complaining tone but Miranda just continued ignoring him.

She walked towards the foreign car in the parking lot. Nobody needed to tell her that it was the man’s car.

With his reputation and career, Miranda expected to see him driving a flashy car but was proved wrong. It was a sports car, yes, but very low key. If one was not familiar with car models, they’ll think it’s nothing expensive but Miranda knew better.

Opening the front passenger door, Miranda made herself comfortable. You could think that age owned the car.

Justin, who had been following behind her, was surprised when she identified his car but was more surprised to see her open the door and sit down like she was the boss here while he was nothing but a chauffeur. And that’s how Justin, the King of the entertainment industry and one of the powerful men was reduced to a mere driver.

The drive to his house was quiet, each lost in their own thoughts.

Miranda was trying to calculate how much loss the company will incur due to the news.

Since she couldn’t go to the office now, she could only work from home. She will have to hold conference meetings for god knows how long. She only wished all this to end as soon as possible so that she could go back to her usual Life. But life had different plans for her.

Justin used the emergency exit to enter his premises. He could risk being spotted with the lady once more.

Parking the car, he stepped down and waited for the lady to also alight.

After waiting for a minute without seeing any movement from her car, he walked back to the car and knocked on the window.

When Miranda lowered the window, he asked,” Why are you not stepping down? Do you plan on staying in the car?”

” Make sure nobody climbed the walls to your house waiting to snap a picture of you.” Miranda replied flatly, surprising Justin.

Thinking about it, he realised she had a point. The media these days was capable of doing anything just to get a scoop to report.

Justin took out his phone from his pants pocket and dialled a number.

” Check all corners of the house, don’t leave any place unturned. Make sure we don’t have the media sneaking around.” He instructed.

After waiting for a few minutes, his cellphone rang indicating an incoming call.

” Boss, we caught a suspicious man carrying a camera at the premises.” The man on the other end reported.

” Throw him outside and make sure he is sacked from his Job, let that serve as a warning to the rest.” Justin replied, disconnecting the call immediately.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Walking towards the car, he was about to knock, when the door was pushed open.

If it was not for his quick reflexes, he could have been smacked on the face by the swinging door.
