Chapter 1066 A Deep Cut

Narissa ignored him and went around his car, but then she saw Jamie walking toward her. After asmall moment of hesitation, she got in Paul's car. "Klorov Hospital.”

"Got it. Buckle up.” Paul let go of the clutch and drove away.

Narissa looked in the side mirror. Jamie was slowly turning into a speck. She leaned to the side andrested an elbow on the window, her head held by her hand, and she spaced out.

Paul stole a glance at her and started a conversation. "It's in a remote place, that hospital. Why doyou want to go there? Is someone sick? Want me to introduce a doctor to you?"

"Please, will you shut up? I can't even hear myself think," snapped Narissa. How on earth can thisguy talk so much?

"Sure, no problem.” However, two seconds later, he said, "I know the breakup is weighing down onyou, but you really need to vent things out. The best way to forget a relationship is to get intoanother one. I think I can be a good replacement.”

Narissa shot him a glare and mocked, "Your whole R&D department got headhunted, and yourcompany's share prices are plummeting. You should spend more time dealing with business insteadof flirting."

"Aw, I know you care about me, but you don't have to worry.” Paul grinned, not feeling angered atall. "I've thought about it. I'm no businessman, and this whole business thing is crazy. It exhausts mea lot. Someone in the company can take over. They're better at this than I am. I'll just split thewealth with Alicia fifty-fifty and live our lives to the fullest.”

"I don't care what you want to do. Just stay away from me," warned Narissa.

Paul was a bit annoyed and amused at the same time. "Why do you hate me so much? I really likeyou. I truly do. I only neglected you because I wanted to see if I could run a business. And now that Iknow I can't, I'm back for you. I'm serious.”

"I know you are, but I just don't feel it. Do you get me?" Oh my god, talking with him is a chore. It'slike we're not even on the same wavelength.

"Why don't you feel it? I can change.”

"Really? I don't like the fact that you like me, then."

"Really? I don't like the fact that you like me, then."

Paul shut up for a moment. "Sorry, can't change that. You're just prejudiced. I bet there are timesyou don't think I'm annoying.”

"Yeah. When I don't have to see you."

That wiped Paul's smile away before he could even start to feel delighted. "Alright, I'm mad. Don'ttalk to me. I don't want to talk to you."

Good. Now I can hear myself think. Narissa rolled her eyes and rested her head on the side, thenshe closed her eyes.

Two hours later, they arrived at Klorov. It was a hospital in the southwest part of the city.

Narissa wanted to barge right in, but Paul took her to the reception. "You can't just run around like aheadless chicken. Watch me. Excuse me, do you have any patient called Stenson here? We're hiscolleagues. Here for a visit."

"A minute, please.”

Paul lied as easily as he breathed, and he kept winking at Narissa.

Narissa looked around, and then the doors to an elevator opened. A group of suited thugs cameout, forcing the other patients to make way for them. Then, Narissa saw Stenson in the middle ofthat group. He was still wearing the same slacks and aloha shirt she saw him in last time. He had abandage over one eye, while malice glinted in the other.

"Hold it right there, Stenson!" Narissa yelled and chased after him right away.

The shout took all the strength out of Stenson, and his legs buckled, but he quickly stood back up."Charge! Stop her!" He sent his lackeys to fight with Narissa while he tried to escape through theemergency exit.

Alas, his lackeys were weak. Narissa easily took them out and kept going after Stenson. She caughtup to him the moment he got to the roof. Left with no choice, he climbed up the wall and croucheda little. With a trembling voice, he said, "Don't come any closer, o-or I'll jump!"

Narissa was speechless. You call yourself a gang lord? Honestly, not even high school kids would letyou sit with them at lunch.

"Jump, then." Ignoring his threat, Narissa approached him. "But you'd better do it headfirst. Don'twant you to be paralyzed now. In fact, I can help with that.”

Panicked, Stenson looked down, which made his legs wobble even more. He crouched even lower.Panicked, Stenson looked down, which made his legs wobble even more. He crouched even lower.Narissa seized the chance and darted ahead to grab him by the nape. Then, she turned one armbehind him, hanging him over the building. "Where are you hiding Anastasia?"

"How should I know? You busted her out.” Stenson held on tightly to the wall with his remainingarm. "I'm sorry. I won't do it again. Please, have mercy."

"You're still not telling?" Narissa loosened her grip a little.

"No, please, no!" Terrified, Stenson said, “I don't know where she is. She blinded me and knockedme out before I could do anything. When I woke up, my men told me you've fought your way inand exploded the bunker. I thought you busted her out."

"If you aren't hiding her, then why did you run?" Narissa squeezed his neck.

"Ow, ow, ow. Lady, you looked like you wanted to kill me. Of course, I had to run.”

Oh. Um...

A gust of breeze blew across them, and the air got awkward.

Just then, Narissa felt an intent of murder coming from behind. She saw the knife glinting as it camestraight at her, and she moved to the side to dodge it. At the same time, she let go of Stenson, andhe fell. Narissa never wanted to kill him, so she quickly went back and held onto him. However, shewas only able to grab his belt, yet Stenson was too heavy, and the belt unraveled right away. Shethen grabbed his pants, but he kept sliding down. In the end, she had to hold him by his legs.Terrified, Stenson turned around and yelled, "Don't let me go, please!” It was then he realized thathe had no pants on. To his embarrassment, he also saw a group of people taking photos of himbelow. Tears streamed down his cheeks, and he cried. "It's over. It's all over."

"It's not. I'm holding you, damn it!" cursed Narissa

"No. My reputation. It's gone!" Stenson cried.

Ponicked, Stenson looked down, which mode his legs wobble even more. He crouched even lower.
