Chapter 78
Eden’s
“No Sam, you will not go out of this room, not in the heart of all the chaos out there,”
“Hunter has instructed, you stay here and not go out,”
“After all he is the reason all these things are happening,” I muttered.
“I get heartbreaking comments on my phone every now and then,” I told her.
“OMG! Eden this is no good at all.” Sam exclaimed staring into her phone,
What
at is 10
isn’t this
“So..a world wide blog had just published your story with a cover picture of you and Hunter smooching in… wait isn’t this Hunter’s office,”
“What?”
“This whole thing is getting out of hand, and the comments aren’t smiling,” Sam added, ”
Suddenly my phone beeped
And the headline Sam just finished reading displayed on my phone.
“Sam I need to go out and face the society, though it will not be easy but I have to take responsibility for my actions.”
“I am tired of hiding in this room, Sam. I feel like I am a loner. It’s Alexis‘ world against mine.It’s past three days and I’m still in this room, hiding from nothing in particular, I continued.
“Eden, you will not leave this room, this looks dangerous. Who could have leaked a photo of Hunter and you in the office? We don’t know what danger awaits you outside,”
Tears streamed down my face as I silently thought of what this scandal will do to my career. If I get fired by the Blackwell’s getting a new job with a different firm will be very difficult. I thought and sobbed silently.
“Sam, my life and career has been ruined,” I said with a cracky voice.
“No, Eden don’t say that,”
“I need to go back to my house, let me not put you in danger,”
“No, it’s okay you can stay for as long as you’re safe here, besides some bloggers are already dragging me into it, some even said, Hunter sleeps with me to,”
I gasped for air,” Wait, wh..what?”
She closed her eyes halfway and nodded her head.
Tm so sorry Sam, I dragged you to this,”
“You know how bloggers can be they seized every opportunity to become popular, all they need is a little drop of information, they will twist it to any shape the want. It’s okay, I know they will not have anything against me, they will just chase shadows,” she said with a gentle and calm voice.
“Sam, you seemed calm and gentle,”
Chapter 78
“Eden eats food, Sam is right, don’t fall sick,” mom said with assurance that I’m hearing.
I scoffed and said twirling my eyes balls, “Okay, mom,
At this point all I want is my parents to hung the call, because it seems are parrots in human bodies,
like my mom and Sam bonded so well and they both
Suddenly the doorbell buzzed, my gaze and Sam’s trapped into each other’s, we both simultaneously opened our
ur eyes w
wide.
I was wondering who could be at the door by this time of the night, from Sam’s expression it’s obvious that we were both wondering the same thing
“Sam, are you there?” mum asked from the phone.
“Yes ma’am, there’s a knock at the door I need to attend to,
“It’s okay,”
“Hand the phone to Eden, mom said.
Sam handed the
e phone to me and went to
ent to get the door.
“Ah.hey,” she stuttered
She stood still with the door still hi her hand, I looked at her direction to see who was standing at the doorstep, a knot formed in my stomach and suddenly i felt like puking..
I was feeling uneasy sitting on the couch, in my uneasy state I wondered why it took Sam so long standing at the door.
“Mom, talk to you later,” I said and hung up. I walked to the door to see who it was
Shivers came running down my spine.
