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
occasions.
“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 accept his offer. But he believed that he would certainly be able to find a
way to make her come 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 hour later, they arrived in the
neighboring city. However, the Village of Giant Salamanders 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 village.
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 there comfortably.
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 flats 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 This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
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 to come 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 hour later, they finally arrived at the village.
Ahead of them were plain 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.
