"Shut your mouth or I'll fire you right now!"

Rey immediately sealed his lips tightly, not daring to argue. His children and wife at home wouldn't be able to live comfortably if it weren't for him working with Jayden.

It was better for him to focus on driving and maintain a silent atmosphere in the car until they arrived at a towering apartment building.

"Uh, Boss. Sorry. I have to answer the phone, can you take the girl inside first?" Rey opened the door for Jayden while holding his ringing phone.

Jayden sighed and got out of the car. "Who's calling you?"

"My wife, Boss."

That answer softened Jayden's heart. He couldn't refuse if it was related to a wife or mother. Jayden took a slow breath before opening the back door to carry Agatha into the apartment.

"How many vacant rooms are there?" Jayden asked after carrying Agatha in a bridal style. He wrapped her arms around his neck to prevent her from falling.

Rey looked at Jayden with sparkling eyes, happy to have received permission. "Number 24, Boss."

Jayden frowned for a moment. "Isn't that next to my room?"

"Ah, yes. It happens to be vacant there. I thought you could also keep an eye on the girl if anything happens to her," Rey replied calmly.

Jayden wanted to be annoyed, but he chose not to say anything and simply walked past Rey. After all, it was not impossible that Jayden himself had the same thought as Rey. The girl in his arms ... he had wanted to protect her from the beginning.

Rey smiled and immediately answered his phone, while Jayden hurried into the apartment and took the elevator. Since this apartment was his own, Jayden could use a different elevator, the VVIP one. After a while, he finally arrived on the same floor where his room was located.

"I hope tomorrow this girl doesn't remember anything," Jayden said silently to himself as he rubbed a card and the door to the room in front of him opened.

Jayden entered and headed towards one of the rooms near the living room. He carefully laid Agatha's body on the spacious and soft bed. Afterward, Jayden let out a sigh of relief. While Agatha was in his arms earlier, Jayden's heartbeat could be considered abnormal.

"She reminds me of a little girl from the past." Jayden stared closely at Agatha's still-sleeping face. But then he quickly shook his head.

"No, I must be remembering wrong."

Jayden took a deep breath to dismiss his uncertain memories. He looked at the watch on his wrist, then turned around to leave the room. But as he reached the doorway, a faint voice suddenly entered his ears.

"Mom ... Dad ... don't leave ...."

Jayden reluctantly stopped in his tracks. He turned around again, seeing the girl tossing and turning in her sleep. Sweat dripped from her temples, her eyebrows furrowed, and her lips moved silently. Jayden's feet inexplicably moved closer.

"Where are your parents?" Jayden whispered, sitting himself at the edge of the bed, gazing at Agatha's face once again.

Unexpectedly, Agatha, who was lying down, suddenly shifted her body and tightly held onto Jayden's arm. Jayden flinched reflexively.

With her eyes closed, the girl pleaded for him not to leave. Over and over again, until it made Jayden unable to bear it. Just as Jayden was about to touch her face, he snapped back to reality.

Jayden shook his head vigorously. "No. I have to leave before something happens."

Jayden gently released Agatha's hand and stood up. The girl was still in a state of delirium. But Jayden tried not to care. It was a better decision than ending up doing something crazy beyond his sanity.

Jayden blocked out his hearing and hurried out of the room. He closed the door carefully and roughly wiped his face.

"I'm truly going insane," Jayden muttered, now outside room number 24.

Morning arrived, and Agatha woke up upon hearing her phone ringing loudly, indicating an incoming call. Despite feeling a headache, Agatha reached for her phone in her pocket. Just as the phone touched her ear, someone's voice on the other end was already deafening.

"Agatha, don't oversleep! We have morning classes today, you know! Be careful not to be late! I won't treat you to lunch if you're late!"

The call was abruptly ended. Agatha stared at the phone screen displaying the name 'Olivia' with a tired gaze. Her only friend during her time at the campus, being so attentive to the point of calling her early in the morning just to say that instead of waking her up.

Agatha initially intended to place her phone on the nightstand, but suddenly she felt something strange here. As far as Agatha remembered, there was no nightstand next to her bed, but rather a study desk. Also, the bed she was sitting on now felt very soft and big, unlike the one she usually slept on.

"Wait, where am I?" Agatha fell silent for a moment, then looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings, and instantly her eyes widened.

"Oh my goodness! This is not my room!" Agatha exclaimed as she got off the bed.

"Why am I here?"

Agatha hurriedly opened the bedroom door. Once again, she was shocked by what she saw now. A spacious room. There was a kitchen, a bathroom, a dining table, and even a TV room.

This was not her cramped boarding house, with a leaky roof and faded paint on some parts of the walls.

"What happened last night?" Agatha murmured in confusion. She sat down on the sofa in front of the TV.

Agatha took a deep breath, the only thing she could remember in part of her brain was when she received a free drink, then suddenly her head started spinning, and then two people came, for whatever reason.

And Agatha didn't know what happened afterward. If she had been trapped, she should have woken up without a single piece of clothing.

But if it's possible that she fainted and was rescued, Agatha should be grateful. But the problem is, who brought her here?

"It must not be just anyone who can rent this place just to lay my unconscious body."

Agatha wanted to remember what happened last night, but when she looked at the watch on her wrist, she couldn't linger there for too long.

Agatha didn't want to worry about it, the most important thing is that her body is still safe and intact, so she decided to forget about this incident. If she ever meets the person who saved her, Agatha will repay the favor.

Agatha stood up and hurriedly left the luxurious room. Passing through a quite long corridor, she saw numbered doors on both sides. The floor she walked on was sparkling.

But Agatha didn't want to be captivated for too long, she had to find the elevator to go down. Unfortunately, before reaching the elevator door, she instead saw a small altercation.

Agatha chose to stand at a distance and wait for someone or a security guard to intervene. Agatha also thought that she had no right to interfere in their affairs.

"You little brat! What did you do to my dress?" a woman shouted angrily.

The little girl in front of her lowered her head while holding an ice cream stick. "I-I'm sorry, Aunt."

"Because of you, my dress is dirty like this!" The woman wearing a knee-length dress pointed out the stain on her dress.

"Aunt also blocked my way," the little girl replied, bravely lifting her head.

Agatha was stunned by the child and secretly smiled in admiration. But when the rough woman raised her hand as if to hit, Agatha instantly widened her eyes and ran towards them.

"How dare you answer me? You rude child! You—"

"Hey, don't be rough with a little child!" Agatha shouted and caught the woman's arm in front of her in one swift motion.
