All Chapters of Resisting My Ex-Bully: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

KILLIANIt was restlessness that slowly spread through my veins and tensed my muscles. I was on my feet before I realized it, unconsciously entering the elevator car and pressing Josie's floor button. I should have stayed away from the place where I could find her, but I couldn't, not this time. Thanks to one of my trusted security guards, I knew that Josie was still working despite the late hour. That alone wouldn't have put me on high alert, but the fact that Estelle had entered the building had.I had waited for a few minutes—long enough for Estelle to get from the entrance hall to my office—but she hadn't come. That could only mean she'd been visiting someone else, and I knew exactly where she'd gone.I passed the long corridor as my heart hammered against my ribcage. I heard the sound of a slamming door—the sound that came from around the corner. I cursed under my breath as I realized it could have come from Josie's office. A few heartbeats later, Estelle appeared in my part of t

JOSIE“Something's come up. Urgent matters. We can't meet tonight.”I read the message from Killian and frowned. He was doing it again. He kept me in the dark. Hadn't we promised to keep each other informed about everything? When my team and I had contacted Yichen, I'd sent Ashley to tell Killian about it right away. Why couldn't he at least tell me a short version of the reason we couldn't see each other?I sat on the bed and rubbed the aching spot on my chest. Would I ever find the right moment to tell him how I felt about him? A part of me hoped this confession would change something between us. Maybe he would confess too?A wave of heat flooded my cheeks. Even thinking that Killian might confess his love to me sent my heart racing… But what if I was the only one who felt something? What if this was merely an infatuation for him, and now whatever he'd felt for me before Estelle showed up was slowly dying? That would explain his current lack of trust, wouldn't it?I sucked in a ragg

“It would have been so much easier if we had those in better resolution,” Tony grumbled as he stared at the photos. “There's not much I can do with those poor-quality copies.”“I'm aware. Josie said the same thing.” My lips twisted into a wry grimace as I recalled her frustration.Tony scratched his chin before meeting my gaze. “How is she holding up, by the way?”“She is pissed, and I cannot blame her.” I got up from my chair and snatched the half-full decanter from the cabinet. “I told her to stay in her apartment for a few days, but the truth is that it'll be damn hard to prove anything without my mother, and she's not even answering my calls.” Tony chuckled, and I gave him a look. “I don't see how you find it amusing.”“Of course, it's amusing.” Tony rolled his eyes. “Your mother tried to make you talk to her for years. Now you get to see what it feels like.”I shook my head. “I wouldn't mind her going MIA in any other situation, but now, I'm not the only one who needs her to be h

I sat on the bed, staring at the shattered pieces of the phone now splayed on my sheets. I had canceled my meeting with Veronica, briefly explaining what had happened. I'd told her I was fine just to calm her down. I didn't want her to worry, but the truth was different.I was still shaken as I went home, constantly recalling every second of my mad chase after the thief. Why hadn't he taken the bag into the car? Letting go of it made no sense. Besides, the more I thought about it, the more I realized he would have been the clumsiest thief in the world if he had dropped the bag while jumping into the van. But what if he hadn't meant to steal the bag in the first place?My gaze drifted to the smashed phone pieces, and I ground my teeth. What if the plan had been entirely different? What if the thief had taken my bag just to destroy my phone? No… It was impossible. No one knew about the secured phone I used to talk to Killian. I had never even pulled it out in public… except for today.I

“What are you doing here?” I demanded, folding my arms across my chest.Kaiden's brows rose an inch. “And what do you think people usually do at the airport?”“I'm serious, Kaiden. What are YOU doing here?” I tried to pin him with a firm stare, but he only laughed.“I'm going to Hong Kong,” he explained, “and after a short discussion, your friend told me you were invited too.”I worked my jaw. It wasn't hard to guess that Kaiden had been the one Ashley had bumped into, but I had yet to establish whether it was a good or bad thing that he was going to Hong Kong with us.Kaiden's eyes shifted to Kei, and his smile became tight. “And you are?”Kei cleared his throat and got up from his seat. “Kei Nishida. I'm a member of Josie's team. We worked together on—”“I'm not interested in your resume, Mr. Nishida,” he said curtly before turning his gaze to me. “May I ask what you are doing here in the waiting hall?”My one brow moved up. “I'm waiting for my plane?”Kaiden's face turned serious.
