On the high-speed train, Kyla looked out of the window at the scenery going backward. Her mood had slightly relaxed just a moment ago but she could not stop herself from tensing up again.
‘I’ll be arriving in L City in a few hours, but what should I say when I see Martin Weiss?
‘What will Martin Weiss think of me?
‘Stop thinking about it. I’ll know when I get there,’ she told herself. She would have to take this step eventually.
The sight of a pregnant woman riding on the train alone caught the attention of many. Someone would occasionally ask her why she was riding the train alone and where her family was.
She would smile and answer that her family was busy, so she took the train alone.
She tried to ignore the strange glances people gave her.
After all, she had faced so many strange glances over the years that sometimes, she could ignore them.
The journey took five hours. It was already past 8:00 p.m. when she arrived in L City.
When Kyla walked out of the train station and saw the familiar yet strange scenery, she could not help feeling emotional.
She grew up in this city, fell in love with Martin Weiss here, and was sent to prison here. In the end, she chose to escape tMason Swansonty.
Today, she came back to tMason Swansonty of her own accord.
She took a deep breath, took out her phone, and called Martin Weiss’s number. However, all she got in reply was a busy signal. She could not get through at all.
Kyla hesitated and dialed another number.
She got the number after she and Martin Weiss separated. One afternoon, Martin Weiss sent her a message with the number.
He said she could call the number if she needed anything and someone would help her.
Just a moment later, the call got through and a man’s voice came
from the other end of the line. “Hello… Is this Miss Kyla?”
Kyla hurriedly replied, “Ah. Yes, it’s me! And you are…”
“I’m Chairman Weiss’s personal secretary. Chairman Weiss told me you can tell me if you need anything!” they replied respectfully.
“I want to see Martin Weiss. I’m already at L City’s train station. But I can’t get through to him on his phone. Can you get in touch with him for me?” she said.
As soon as she said that, the other end of the line was silent for a few seconds before the person said, “Well… I’m afraid that may be a little difficult. Mr. Weiss said he’ll never see you again, Miss Corbyn. That’s why he asked me to take handle all of your matters.”
Kyla only tasted bitterness in her mouth. She was the one who requested him not to see her again, but now…
“I have something important to tell him in person. Please help me contact him,” she said in a panic.
They said, “Miss Corbyn, are you at L City’s train station? Why don’t I pick you up first? We’ll talk about the rest after we meet.”
Kyla thought about it and said, “Okay.” Then, she gave him her exact location.
“There should be a KFC there. You can order a drink and wait there. I’ll be there in about half an hour,” they said.
“Okay,” replied Kyla.
Half an hour later, a white car pulled up in front of the KFC outlet.
A polite-looking man with glasses in his 30s stepped out of the vehicle.
After looking around, he walked up to Kyla. “Hello, Miss Corbyn. I’m Chairman Weiss’s personal secretary-Mallory Malcom. You may call me Mallory,” he said.
He must have seen her photo or something from Martin Weiss, so that was why he could recognize her immediately.
“Hello,” said Kyla.
“Have you booked any accommodation, Miss Corbyn?” asked Mallory Malcom.
“I booked Home Inn,” said Kyla.
It was one of those chain hotels where the locations were mediocre but their prices were affordable.
Mallory Malcom frowned a little and said, “Why don’t I arrange somewhere else for you, Miss Corbyn?
It’s not very convenient for you to stay in such a hotel when you’re pregnant. There’s no panic button or anything of the like in small hotels if anything happens, so they can’t come to assist you in time.”
Kyla hesitated a little but did not reject Mallory Malcom’s kindness. After all, what he said was true. The hotel staff might not be informed in time in case something happened.
“Thank you, then,” said Kyla.
”
“Don’t mention it. You’re too kind, Miss Corbyn,” said Mallory Malcom as he took Kyla to a five-star hotel downtown.
There were all kinds of emergency buttons in the hotel room. She just needed to press the button if anything happened in the room and the hotel staff would come over within three minutes.
After settling down Kyla, Mallory Malcom said, “Miss Corbyn, please take a rest first. Feel free to contact me if you need anything.”
“I came to L City to see Martin Weiss. Please put me in touch with him,” said Kyla.
