Chapter 29 Pressed Against the Wall

Shannon was dirty, and Brendon was in a bad mood, so he didn't bother eating and left withShannon. As soon as they left, Ranita leaned back in her chair feeling a chill down her spine. Steverushed over asking, "Ranita, are you okay?" The restaurant manager had sent someone to explainthe situation to him but he still arrived late. "Sorry, I received an emergency call," said Steve.

“It's not your fault," replied Ranita looking up at him with eyes that seemed to have lost theirsparkle and were now darkened.

Steve wanted to comfort her but didn’t know how. He knew about Ranita's feelings for Brendon asan outsider looking in but unfortunately Brendon...

“Dr. Pearson, I'm fine," continued Ranita calmly with starry eyes that looked like they had fallen intothe desert leaving only darkness behind them. "If you're busy, then go back to the hospital first. I'llgo home later.”

Steve did need to go back to the hospital but he was worried about leaving Ranita alone, "Let metake you home before going back.”

Hearing this made Ranita realize that Steve must be busy with work so she quickly responded, "Youmust have urgent business if it requires your attention. Hurry up and leave! Drive safely.”

Steve pushed his gold-rimmed glasses up his nose, helplessly saying, "Then I'll leave first. Get somerest when you get home. Call me if there's anything.”

After walking two steps away from her, he turned around again handing his thin jacket on his armover to her saying, "It gets cold at night, so don't catch a cold.”

“Thank you, Dr. Pearson," smiled Ranita gratefully showing appreciation for having friends whocared for each other.

But just minutes after Amiya called.

"Ranita, come pick up your things right now or else I'll throw them away!"

Amiya had been humiliated by Ranita last time they met, which made Amiya even more hostiletowards her than before.

Ranita hurried to Boulderland Mansion.

At the entrance, she received special treatment. The people at Boulderland Mansion were used toserving her, but their attitude had turned cold since she left.

After waiting for about twenty minutes, the iron gate of Boulderland Mansion finally opened to lether in.

"Miss Bowman, please watch your step, and be careful not to damage anything accidentally. You'llbe held responsible for any damages!" the servant leading her warned in a sarcastic tone.

Ranita pretended not to hear and walked with confidence, heading up to the second-floor masterbedroom. Just before entering, the servant reminded her once more, "Miss Bowman, please bequick, Mr. Stuart doesn't like outsiders in his room."

The servant's name was Addyson Calderon, and she was the daughter of Macy, Amiya's caregiver.Her good looks and college degree were what landed her a job at Boulderland Mansion.

“When Ranita married into the Stuart family, Addyson had just started working at BoulderlandMansion. She had always been hostile towards Ranita from the start. At first, Ranita didn't knowwhat she had done to offend her but later overheard Addyson talking about how much she admireBrendon. She envied Ranita for being Mrs. Stuart despite having no power or influence.

But now all of that was irrelevant.

Ranita glanced briefly at Addyson before pushing open the door to her room - a place where shehad lived for three years and could navigate even with her eyes closed.

There was a faint scent of cold perfume in the air as she walked through the bedroom into thecloset area where she quickly packed her suitcase without batting an eye before turning off thelights and leaving.

She walked through the bedroom into the adjoining dressing room, swiftly retrieved her suitcase,and packed her belongings without batting an eye. Then, she turned off the lights and left.Although it was dimly lit, Ranita recognized his familiar scent immediately making shivers run downon spine while hearing his deep voice asking, "Ranita?"
