Bai Xi's Pov:

Huffing and puffing I reached the lobby and took a detour to the back entrance which is used by the service staff and kept walking until I reached a small park , a few metres away from the hotel and found a small bench, where I lay down to finally relax.

On the way I mulled over everything that happened and now I just don't want to think about him anymore. That infuriating son of a bastard.

And honestly I don't have the energy left in me as I haven't slept in like three days because of the mission I was here for , which I did completed thankfully before this scuffle tonight.

The earlier adrenaline and the fight has already drained me and exhausted my brain. It has shut down and I don't have the energy left in me to think about anything.

All I needed to do is sleep and then think about everything else when I wake up.

I am stuck here till the morning anyways as I can't go back to the hotel, as the goons are still loitering the entrance of the hotel , that's why I took the servant's entrance. Since all of my stuff is still inside I don't have anything on me , other than my phone.

My passport and other stuff is still in the hotel room , so I can't take the flight back to home. The only other option left is taking the train which might take me more than ten hours , that too is available tomorrow only.

I guess I will have to make this bench work for the night and so I layed on it and dozed off without a care because right now I am so buzzed that I couldn't care less for anything else , lest comfort.

So, Comfort be damned.

.....

The morning sun hit me with a glare so hard that I had to scramble off the chair .

"Ouchhhh....It hurts damn it!!!!" A few curse words fell out of my mouth as the pain in my neck and back hurt like hell. My neck is bend at an odd angle and I just can't seem to get it straight.

I was out like light last night and this must be because of sleeping in the same position all night.

I looked around me and it seems it's still quite early as no one is in the park and I am all alone.

It's good nobody's here otherwise they might have heard me spewing colorful language first thing in the morning.

I sat straight and pulled out my phone which is barely alive as I didn't get the chance to charge it. Before it gets completely discharged I need to call someone to collect my things from the hotel .

I rang Bartley my assistant ,"I need a train ticket to ' A country from Sisuzane' of this afternoon. Have someone deliver it to me and also I want someone to go and collect my things from the hotel I was staying in. Let them do it in night and make sure they be discreet."

"On it Boss. Though why not a plane ticket as it would be lot faster and it is not as if you are in need of saving money Boss.", He said as loud noises can be heard from behind.

"Are you telling me what to do Bartley?" I asked in a biting tone. This man is just pissing me off by questioning my actions.

"No Boss , I wouldn't dare so" He said in a scared voice as the noises behind him got louder.

"Bartley Birmingham, are you out partying again , instead of doing work? Do you want to get fired? Tell me so I can do it right now" I scolded him and a loud whiny voice can be heard from the other side.

"Boss , No!! It is not like that! I am here because of the new mission that we got , you know the one about Henrietta Simmons and her stalker. I am here to act as the accomplice. Don't take my job away Boss!! What would I do without you? Where would I go?? So sorry Boss!!! But you don't trust me at all. I need emotional compensation for my distressed feelings", Following his stupid speech , loud crying noises came from the other side.

I palmed my forehead as it was my fault for poking this drama queen first thing in the morning.

"ok...ok ,My God stop it damn, You will get your compensation but stop with the hysterics this instant otherwise forget about bonus , I will reduct your salary." I said in a strict voice so as to stop his whining. I will deal with him later. My neck is paining me and it is not in my capability to hear anymore nonsense right now, when all I want to do is sleep the day off.

Before hanging up, I reminded him, "And mind you Bartley , if you took advantage of the situation and get stoned", I said in the same threatening tone, to scare him off. He has bad habit of dozing off in between works.

"yes Boss, I wouldn't dare."

"Now get on with the work"

"yes Boss!"

Anyways , I can't handle any more stress right now. I already have a lot on my plate. I will see him later for extorting money from me this way.

Right now I have to deal with my husband issues. I have to make a plan in case in future if we ever got to meet and he recognises me.

But this will have to wait , I need to get back home.

I rubbed off the red skin on my neck as there were many mosquitos last night and I got bitten by them.

I got out of the park and went to the nearby cafe as I have skipped dinner last night and I am hungry as hell.
