Chapter 46 She made up her mind to quit her job


    “Do you really mean it?”


    Joey wasn’t fully convinced. She remembered that John Walter had said the same thing in the


    president’s office several days ago. Yet he had broken his promise and molested her on a couple of


    asions.


    “Of course, I mean it. Who do you think I am? You are not that special to me after all.”


    John Walter looked at her with indifference. He had restored himself to Mr. John Walter the president


    who was always arrogant and bossy.


    “All right then. Then our drive will be my witness.”


    Joey carefully sat down and stared at the foreview the whole time. In this way she could watch his


    every move. If he broke his promise again, she would have to jump out of the car to prove her


    innocence, only for real this time.


    John Walter leaned backwards and closed his eyes. He had meant it when he promised to keep his


    hands off her from now on.


    Joey’s mind was gradually at ease.


    However, she failed to notice his wicked and cruel smile when he closed his eyes.


    What he had said was that he would leave her alone unless she came to him someday.


    It sounded like a promise, but it could imply something else, which was, if Joey came to him first, he


    wouldn''t say no to her.


    For now, Joey would in no way ept his offer. But he believed that he would certainly be able to find a


    way to make here to him first someday.


    “Wait and see, Joey, I’ll eventually get my way with you!”


    He swore to himself…


    They took the highway all the way and the car drove very fast. An hourter, they arrived in the


    neighboring city. However, the Vige of Giant Smanders was located in remote mountainous areas.


    The car drove through mountain roads mud pits. It took them another five hours to vaguely recognize


    the rising waves of smoke from cooking fires in the vige.


    However, the road was too narrow for cars to get through. They had to get off the car to walk.


    John Walter seemed to have foreseen it. He took a deck chair out of the trunk and asked two


    bodyguards to carry him. All he needed to do was lying therefortably.


    In contrast, Joey suffered a lot.


    Due to her feet injuries, she had just walked on the mountain road for about ten minutes when her


    wounds started bleeding again. Her white ts were already soaked in blood.


    Sarah felt sorry for her. She wished she could help Joey, but her legs were still trembling from the


    violent sex she had had with John Walter in the car. It had been so intense that she couldn’t refresh


    herself after hours of sleep.


    She found it difficult to give Joey a hand while walking side by side. She certainly wouldn’t be strong


    enough to carry Joey. They would probably fall into muddy fields.


    Sarah had to turn to the other two bodyguards and begged them to carry Joey. But they just ignored


    her and looked away, like she was invisible.


    Sarah was furious. But she knew they were professionals whose sole responsibility was to protect the


    man who paid them. They said very little and ignored anyone else except their employer.

    Eventually, Sarah had to ask John Walter for help. If he gave the order, she believed, they would


    certainly follow it. Despite of her relentless efforts, his answer was “tell her toe to me herself”.


    Joey sneered after she heard his message. She swallowed the pain and kept on walking.


    She would never ask him for help.


    Sarah observed that something was going on between John Walter and Joey. But somehow she


    couldn’t put her finger on it.


    She had no idea that during the hours of her sleep, Joey had had a narrow escape due to John


    Walter’s sexual assault.


    Joey bit her lips and walked on. She was now shockingly determined.


    She made up her mind to quit her job once she went back home.


    Of course, she wouldn’t tell anyone about it now. She was afraid that John Walter would be so


    infuriated that he probably would leave her alone in the remote mountainous areas. In that case, she


    would be stranded and helpless.


    About an hourter, they finally arrived at the vige.


    Ahead of them were in wooden houses surrounded by bamboo fences, ancient utensils hung on


    external walls of these wooden houses and mountain people in simple robes doing their chores in their


    yards. Joey had an illusion that she had travelled back in time. It felt like standing in ancient wooded


    mountains and watching the human world at its earliest stage.
