Chapter 147
\nThree Years Later, He Came Back Begging novel Chapter 147<\/p>\n
Bonnie nodded and headed out. As soon as she sat down at her desk, the girl from the next cubicle rolled over, checking out her face. \u201cWhat did Jim say to you? You look like you\u2019ve seen a ghost.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s nothing,\u201d Bonnie said, trying to steady herself. \u201cThe site got changed again. The Meadows School project is about to be a mess.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her coworker gave her shoulder a reassuring pat. \u201cHang in there.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bonnie put her forehead in her hand, feeling ridiculous for getting so worked up. She pushed the thoughts aside and dove back into her work, determined not to let herself get distracted.<\/p>\n
Once she got busy for real, there was no time for her mind to wander.<\/p>\n
The site change might not have sounded huge, but it was one of those headaches that just wouldn\u2019t go away. Bonnie didn\u2019t even have a spare second to check her phone the whole day. She spent her lunch break redrawing plans, barely looking up.<\/p>\n
By the time she got home that night, she was beyond tired. With barely any sleep the night before, she crashed the moment her head hit the pillow.<\/p>\n
A few days slipped by like that. Even though work was nonstop, Bonnie couldn\u2019t help noticing whenever things seemed a little off. At lunch with Helen, her friend tried to reassure her. \u201cIt\u2019ll be fine this time, don\u2019t stress.\u201d<\/p>\n
Neither of them could figure out what exactly had gone wrong on Lawrence\u2019s side. Maybe Hannah really was out of options and had to try something desperate.<\/p>\n
But really, nobody else seemed to care. People around the office never mentioned it, and there wasn\u2019t a peep about it online either.<\/p>\n
Eventually, Bonnie felt herself start to relax.<\/p>\n
That day, by the time she headed home from work, it was already after nine. As she walked past apartment 1207, she noticed the dried lipstick stain on the doorknob was still untouched, and that alone made her breathe easier.<\/p>\n
Then she looked up and spotted a black trash bag sitting right in front of her own door.<\/p>\n
It definitely wasn\u2019t hers.<\/p>\n
With shaking hands, Bonnie pulled out her phone, about to call building management when the door to 1209 suddenly swung open.<\/p>\n
It was the girl whose power had gone out the other day. She\u2019d heard the commotion and stepped out, wrinkling her nose as the smell hit her. Looking down, she spotted a cockroach trying to scurry away and stomped it without hesitating, then nudged her door shut.<\/p>\n
\u201cGross! Where are these cockroaches coming from?\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Bonnie\u2019s voice shook. \u201cI have no idea. Someone left this bag of garbage in front of my door. I tried to move it, and it all split open. Next thing I knew, they were everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n
The girl didn\u2019t seem the least bit afraid. She finished off the second roach, then offered Bonnie a casual smile. \u201cNo worries, really. These are nothing, super tiny and can\u2019t even fly. Just crush them, then clean up and spray some disinfectant. You\u2019ll be fine, promise.\u201d<\/p>\n
Still in shock, Bonnie called management anyway.<\/p>\n
There was no way this just happened by accident.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-815","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/815","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=815"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
