Chapter 12 A Stalker Kelly's POV " Mr. Anderson , Miss Monroe , the meeting will start in 5 minutes . " I nodded at my assistant and looked at Pierce who's standing behind me . His forehead was still creased and he's staring at my face . He looked confused but still angry . I don't know why he hates Chris . Even when we're in college , he hates him . Chris is a good man . He accepted my decision when I rejected him . He didn't hold a grudge against me . He understood me . 1 Shaking my head , I turned my back on Pierce and started walking towards the conference room . I felt him following me but I didn't look back . The meeting started right after we arrived . Everyone was silent and serious and yet here's Pierce who kept on sending me messages . He's still convincing me to reject Chris and that makes me really annoyed . He doesn't have the right to rule my life . He's my best friend and yes , also my ex - husband . That means he doesn't have a say in my personal life anymore . I need to draw a line of limitation to our relationship . He just doesn't understand what's going on . After the meeting , Pierce is at it again . He grabbed my arm in the middle of the hallway , ignoring the people who were looking at us . Though I know they won't put malice on our situation because they know we're best friends . " Kelly , you have to listen to me . " " Why are you so desperate to control my relationship , Pierce ? " I asked , whispering in his ear as I glared at him . " I'm not controlling you . " " Yes , you are! " He shook his head . " I don't like him for you . Don't date him . ' " What if I tell you that I don't like Lexi for you either ? Would you still date her ? " His lips parted as he slowly let go of my arm . Now we're talking : I hissed and turned my back on him . I went to the comfort room because I was suddenly dizzy . Probably because he got so close that I smelled his perfume . God ! Our baby would look exactly like a copy of him . I entered the cubicle and sat on the water closet , trying to calm myself down . I squeezed my eyes closed and massage my temple when I heard someone open the door of the comfort room . I was planning to ignore it because I know it might be just a female employee but the sound of the shoes doesn't sound like a female's shoe . My forehead creased . Did Pierce follow me here ? This is a female's comfort room ! " What are you doing , Pierce ? " I asked , annoyed when I heard the footsteps coming towards the last cubicle where I entered The footsteps stopped and strangely , I felt nervous . I don't know why what happened seemed so creepy . I feel like I'm in some thriller movie and someone's waiting for me outside to kill me . I swallowed hard as I slowly opened the cubicle . I jumped in shock when I saw a janitor standing by the front door as if waiting for me to come out . He immediately bowed his head . " Sorry , Miss Monroe . I thought no one's inside " I just nodded at him before I washed my hands on the sink . I kept on glancing at him from the mirror because I felt like his stares were creepy . I think he's just the same age as Pierce . He wasn't smiling and his eyes were blank , something that made him even creepy I faced him after I washed my hands . " You're new here ? " Chapter 12 A Stalker +25 BONUS He nodded . " Yes . I started just last week . " I nodded as my eyes examined his whole body . " Didn't your superior inform you that cleaners are scheduled to clean after office work ? Not during office hours . " He bowed his head and I felt like I saw sarcasm in his eyes . Why do I feel like this person is hiding something ? I shrugged my shoulders and walked past him . I kept my chin high even when I felt his stares following me . I went straight to my office and sat on my swivel chair . I was massaging my forehead when my assistant knocked on my door . " Miss Monroe , you left your phone in the comfort room . " I accepted my phone and looked at her . " Did the cleaner bring this ? " " Yes , Miss . " I clenched my jaws and examined my phone . I must be just paranoid . He seemed harmless even when he's creepy immediately gave back my phone right after I left it . and he I shrugged the thought off my head and proceeded on paperwork . I kept myself busy all day . My assistant brought me lunch and snacks and if not for my baby's sake , I won't eat because I have so much paperworks to do. Plus , I'm reviewing the budget proposal for the upcoming anniversary of the company . The party will be next week and I'm worried that it will be chaotic since the employees and our family will be there . Of course , Lexi will be there and Pierce's family doesn't like her . After work , I glanced at the bouquet before grabbing my bag . I noticed a card , so I grabbed it and read the note . My lips parted when I realized Chris is inviting me to lunch . I don't have his number so I can't call him . I suddenly feel guilty . I pushed the card in my bag and went out of my office . The employees have already left an hour ago and even my assistant is not here anymore . I rode the elevator alone while still thinking about what would happen at the anniversary party . When I reached the parking lot , I froze when I felt like someone was watching me . I roamed my eyes around as I swallowed hard . I already saw the car but I'm still far from it and worse is I couldn't see Luke around the car . Where is he ? With trembling hands , I took my phone out to call Luke . My feet are walking so fast and I feel like someone is following me behind . " d * mn it , Luke ! " I cursed as I started running towards the car . My hands are trembling and sweating so much as I run for my dear life when I bumped into someone . " AHH ! GET OFF ME ! " " Kelly ! Kelly ! " My heart almost stopped beating but when I heard that familiar voice , I felt tears rolling down my cheeks in relief . I lost my balance and Pierce immediately wrapped his arms around my legs and back , carrying me . He looked at me with a worried face . His face immediately darkened after he saw my frightened expression . " What happened , Kelly ? You're pale ! Fck ! What's wrong ? " He kept on glancing behind me . I swallowed hard and buried my face in his chest . " S - Someone's following me . " " What ? Where the hell is Luke ? " I shook my head . " I - I don't know . " " WHERE HAVE YOU FCKING BEEN , LUKE ? " Pierce suddenly shouted and that's when I saw Luke coming Luke glanced at me with a worried face while Pierce walked towards his car , still carrying me 2/3 Chapter 17 A Stalker " Check the area and the CCTV footage .
