Chapter 39 The Encounter at the Airport
I gasped and closed my eyes while bracing for the impact. But the next second, I felt my
body embraced
and almost drifting.
I could hear gasps and applause while I trembled. When I opened my eyes, I found myself
in the arms of a
tall man, wrapped in his firm, masculine presence.
He wore a black mask and was staring at me intensely. Something about his eyes seemed
familiar. I held
on to his arm as I stared back at him.
He put me down and steadied me without saying a word. His eyes shifted to my hands on
his arm, I
quickly pulled it away and smiled awkwardly. “I’m sorry! Thank you!”
Another person had picked up my luggage and brought it to me, saying, “You should be
careful! That was
a close call. Thankfully, this gentleman was quick!”
I nodded at the man. “Thank you so much!”

I looked at him, puzzled. His voice sounded oddly familiar, too, I observed the composed
man with his
deep, mysterious eyes.
He sensed my confusion and pulled down his mask to reveal a charmingly defined face. I
chuckled in
surprise when I recognized him. “Mr. Pierce!”
I was relieved to discover why his eyes were familiar. After all, I had just met him. He was
the one who
represented Mr. Wright at this morning’s meeting at ATL Empire.
He adjusted his mask. “It’s late. Let’s go together.”
Atlas was quick and decisive. Though I did not know his position at ATL Empire, he must be
an
exceptional employee.
“Wouldn’t it be inconvenient for you?” I hesitated as I glanced at the crowded airport exit.
After all, i
wasn’t very familiar with him.
“Do you
have another way to leave?” He retorted. “If not, let’s just go together.”
He walked away without waiting for my response, leaving me shocked.
I quickly grabbed my luggage and jogged to catch up. I thought it was best not to be
stubborn. Riding with
him to the city would make it easier for me to find a cab. If I waited until the crowd left the

I followed him all the way to the car that was waiting for him. Finally, I exhaled a sigh of
relief–I could go
home!
“Thank you, Mr. Pierce!” I said again, but he didn’t respond.

We didn’t talk the entire trip, and the atmosphere was heavy. I had hoped that I’d be able

take a cab
here.”
“It’s alright. Just give the driver the address.” He left no room for debate, so I gave in and
gave the driver
my home address.
The driver drove me all the way to the entrance to my neighborhood. I thanked them
profusely and got
out of the car. With a quick turn, I entered my house.
It was after 1 a.m., so I was surprised to see the bedroom dimly lit. Just as I was about to
call Matthew’s name, I heard something strange coming from the room–it sounded like
moaning.
I immediately knew what was going on. My ears buzzed, and my mind went blank. I
