Chapter 256: [Bonus - ]Third wheel
"Drop me off at the cafe across the building." Heaven leaned back, casting the driver’s seat a look. "I’ll meet Paula."
Bear bit his tongue to stop himself from saying anything unnecessary. It was already good they could talk about things, but there was a certain line he knew he shouldn’t cross.
"Should I accompany you?" asked Bear as he entered the road heading to the building.
"No need. I’ll just meet Paula across the street." Heaven snapped her eyes to the window. "Though wait for me in the lobby. I want to fetch Basti."
"Alright."
With that being said, Bear drove slowly and pulled over to the cafe she was talking about. When he looked back, Heaven had already opened the door and stepped out. His lips were left open, unable to tell her whatever he wanted to say as she closed the door with a bang.
"I guess that means she will just cross the street when she needs me," he muttered to himself, shrugging.
Bear didn’t idle as he drove off, aware that he shouldn’t leave Heaven alone because of her stalker. However, between Dominic and Heaven, Bear didn’t want to rub off Heaven the wrong way. Dominic would just fire him and leave him a bad record, but Heaven might erase him.
’Not like she couldn’t protect herself,’ he thought, mentally nodding in approval. ’At this point, I’m just guarding her to make sure she doesn’t kill someone by accident.’
In contrast with his thoughts, the corner of his mouth hooked up. Delusional as he sounds, Bear felt like he was simply continuing his service to his late boss. Bear’s main duty back then was to make sure Hera would snap and accidentally kill someone in a moment of rage.
