The Divorced Heiress

At first, James was confused but after seeing whether Amanda was looking at them over and over again he gradually understood.

“Okay miss,” he said before leaving Amanda alone and walking towards the bodyguards.

He told them something before they nodded their heads, and glanced at Amanda for the last time before leaving.

Seeing their departing figures, Amanda grinned as she was happy with how her plans were.

She didn’t bother waiting for James as she had started finding him more troublesome than before. She walked towards the men who were looking at her at the far end.

Later, James joined them and they all started talking business.

After an hour, a black van with no number plate got into the compound.

This was after checking around and so there wasn’t any bodyguard.

One of the men with Amanda frowned when he saw that and knew that things would not end well.

“Miss Anderson, didn’t you come with your bodyguards?” he asked in an emotionless tone.

Amanda stopped talking about business and looked at the man with questioning eyes cause she didn‘

understand why he was asking such a thing.

What did that have to do with what they were talking about?

When she saw no emotions in his eyes, she sighed inwardly and cussed as she wondered why the man had

to be cold and aloof like her big brother and sister but unlike them whom she could tell from their

expressions, the man in front of her didn’t even have a single expression on his face.

It was like he was a statue. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“I think that the city is safe. After all, I have never had of any ambush here,” she answered making the people with her look at her as if she was crazy.

“You are so wrong. This city is worse than the city you live in and the capital. Just because your never hear anything doesn’t mean that it is safe staying here,” a woman told her.

The young man who had asked Amanda about the guards looked at her sternly as he wondered why she was lying and he had seen her with bodyguards when she got there.

Remembering how a certain person hates being followed by bodyguards, he didn’t pinpoint that she was lying as he understood why she did what she did. Nonetheless, he was still curious as to where her bodyguards had gone.

“Miss, hope that you have understood everything.” a middle–aged man asked.

“Yes, I have. I will go back and explain everything to Grandfather before we proceed with everything,” she answered as she nodded her head.

She had never thought that being among experienced businessmen and women would make the business tall faster and sufficient. Also, she had learned a few things from them.

From it, she now understood why her grandfather insisted on her going over instead of the others. She was thankful and vowed she would thank him wholeheartedly when she went back to the capital.

“Since that’s the case, I will be leaving. Will you be leaving today?” another middle–aged man asked.

“Yes. There isn’t anything else for me to do here thus I found it appropriate to leave as I still have a lot of work back at the company,” Amanda replied with seriousness.

“Okay. Have safe journeys when you go back,” the man said before standing up and leaving.

The others left one after another but after saying goodbyes to Amanda.

Amanda looked at the man who was still seated and wondered what he was trying to do. “Why aren’t you leaving?”

“Why aren’t you leaving?” the man asked with a smirk.

“You! The others have left and I expected you to do the same,” Amanda said after calming herself, although she was irritated by the man.

“Same to you. The others have left thus you should do so. Didn’t you say that you will leave today? Then why are you still here? I expected you to be the first person to leave not the last,” the man.

Then why are you sum mere: i expected you to be the mist person w leave not the last, the man replied making the words that were about to come out of Amanda’s mouth to be swallowed.

“You should always take your bodyguards with you,” the man said after some minutes of silence as Amanda didn’t know how to retort his previous words.

“Why?” she asked as she couldn’t understand why the man kept on insisting on the bodyguards.

She loved the freedom thus she didn’t want to listen to him but she was still curious as to why he

kept bringing up the bodyguard’s topic.

“‘Cause nowhere is safe. You are the Andersons‘ youngest miss, thus there are a lot of people who want to harm you. If you aren’t careful enough, I am afraid that you might lose your life,” the man said in a serious tone and Amanda knew the gravity of it.

Although they weren’t familiar with each other, Amanda refused to believe that the latter was just talking without something happening. Seems he had noticed something.

Instead of being afraid, she flashed him a smile.

“If something were to happen to me, I think you won’t continue sitting down and watching me lose m life. What’s there to worry about when I have such a man by my side?” Amanda said teasingly, but the man just rolled his eyes on her as he felt she was so stupid.

He had never even cared about his own life thus how could he care whether she continued living or

not?

He looked outside and saw the van was still there making him frown.

He had opted to stay back not because he was afraid that something bad might happen to Amanda b

cause he wanted to know who the people in the van were after.

Previously, he had thought they were after one of the people that had left but it seemed that wasn’t

the case. He didn’t think they were after him as no one knew he was there and also, everyone in the

city was afraid of him. They had to think twice before trying to kill him.

He looked at Amanda and wondered who she had offended as that was her first time in the city. She shouldn’t be in conflict with anyone.

“Those people are after you.”
