PENOLOPE P.O.V.
Time went by, it was time to clock out of work. I had this feeling that Killian Remington knew more than he was leading on. I transmigrated into a book, nothing is impossible.
'Could he be a transmigrator?' I wondered. I should feel him out. Figure out what exactly am I working with. Is he a friend or a foe? The way he warned me told me he was more of a friend than anything. The original host has no actual memories with him. All are simply professional encounters with him. From my memory, he has a girlfriend. What is her name? Shayla? Sherry?
Sasha. Her name is Sasha. If he had a hunch about doomsday, than he should have warned her. If he warned me and not her, does that mean that he was reborn? I mean, it's not impossible right? In other novels, multiple characters are reborn sometimes. Is he one of them? Should I ask him?
Forget it. It's not like he will be honest. We aren't even friends. How weird would I be if I walked up to him and said "by the way, how did you die in your past life?" I can already picture his face. I'd be called a lunatic. Let me carry on with my shopping.
I happened to see this website selling fruit and vegetable seeds. Hmm.. I should buy some just in case. What if I can plant in my space? That would be the ultimate trump card. 'I really wish I could explore my space without entering it.' I thought.
Just like magic, a screen lit up in front of me. It looked virtual. I looked around to make sure no one could see what I was doing. After confirming that it was invisible to everyone else, I took a glance at it. I swear the universe is on my side this time. What I saw blew my mind. It was like my own personal surveillance screens. I saw a vast land, green with mountains and a river. Acres of black soil, I knew that was meant to farm. I saw a divided area with a huge storage warehouse. I clicked on the that screen and was blown away. Inside were shelves already mounted. Red instructions were on the screen. Reading 'STOPPED TIME STORAGE; anything stored in here will remain at the same temperature as it was stored'
"Jackpot!" I said. I hit the freaking jackpot. All that suffering in my past-life was worth it. Sure, I am going to go through the apocalypse here, but let's be honest. Every day is an apocalypse. No one is genuine anymore. They always expect something in return for their so called kindness. I did not even bother seeing the other screens. I got everything I needed and then some. I was about to exit the virtual screen when I seen a folder that read "contract" on the far right of the bottom screen. I imagined myself clicking on that folder. The content blew my mind away. The contracts allowed me to permit others to enter my space. Under a blood contract. It read that if party B tried to disclose information about the space or endanger Party A in any way possible, he/she would be erased on the spot. What does this mean? Will they be killed? Either way, this contract was beneficial. It meant I could bring my adopted family into this without worrying of betrayal. Kai and Aunt Mary could be kept safe in there. I am not sure if I could trust elder brother Erik. He really was angry about last night.
First things first, I need to leave the company. How do I get out without Mr. Remington finding out? I mean, he really made it clear he wanted me to stay. I needed to talk to him. I really had to go home. I had to contract my family before anything. I also had to go get my supplies. The supplies should have been delivered hours ago.
I decided to test the waters with Mr. Remington. I mean, how else would I know how to proceed with him. As I got up to go to his office I saw someone familiar walking towards me. It was his current girlfriend Sasha.
"Hello Ms. Littleton, how may I be of service?" I asked.
"Is Kill here? I need to talk to him." she said, she looked ghastly pale.
"Let me double check if his meeting has ended" I replied. I sent him a message through our company e-chat.
PW: Mr. Remington, Ms. Littleton is asking to meet with you.
KR: Do not let her in, have security escort her out.
PW: ....
PW: Isn't that a bit harsh?
KR: Not my problem. I want her gone by the time I walk out of this office. Thx
Okay, so it's safe to say they are no longer an item. I'm not illiterate, I can read the room.
"I am sorry Ms. Littleton but Mr. Remington is not available. Would you like to schedule a meeting with him? He will have an slot available two days from now at 10:30 am. Would you like to schedule?" I said. I mean, I can't just have security escort her out without a reason.
"Not good enough, I need to see him." she said as she proceeded to walk towards his office. I stood up and blocked her way as I politely stated "Ms. Littleton, as I said before, he is not available. Please confirm if you would like to schedule this upcoming appointment and kindly leave." I waited for her to answer. To say she was mad is an understatement. She was livid. I could see the fire in her eyes as she looked at me. She did not like my answer.
"Do you know who I am? I am your soon-to-be boss. How dare you talk to me like that" blah blah blah. I honestly did not hear anything else as I tuned her out. Time was short and I did not feel like wasting it on this airhead. I signaled security over and had them escort her out. I have to really go home, I am tired and also need to start putting things away.
