Chapter 7 Harassment

Carl quickly let go of Annie and went after Brandon to say hello. However, Brandon got into his car and drove away with a loud sound, followed by more than ten luxury cars.

Since he missed Brandon, Carl had no choice but to return to find Annie. But she had already run away in the direction of the elevator.

Carl touched his lips where he had just kissed Annie and felt excited like a hunter chasing prey. "Find out her address."

Annie returned home and sat on the sofa in a daze after putting down her bag. It wasn't until her phone rang that she snapped out of it.

She took out her phone from her bag and frowned at the number displayed on it. Why was John calling her?

After hesitating for a moment, Annie unlocked her phone screen and answered: "John, what's up?"

John's respectful voice came through the other end: "Miss Hart, I found something belonging to you while cleaning the apartment earlier today. When would be convenient for you to come pick it up?"

Annie thought it might have been Brandon trying to explain something, so she was caught off guard when John mentioned lost property instead. Her heart sank immediately.

"John, please just throw it away for me."

Without waiting for John's response, Annie hung up on him before promptly deleting all contact information related to both John and Brandon.

Yesterday she still held onto hope that Brandon would contact her again, so she didn't delete his number then; now that everything has been revealed, though, she gave up completely.

She turned off her phone and fell asleep heavily on the sofa without knowing how long had passed before someone knocked on the door, waking her up.

Fiona worked late shifts recently, so they often left keys with Annie since returning home late at night made things difficult otherwise.

Assuming Fiona had returned from work early this morning, Annie got up to open the door. But instead of Fiona, she found Carl standing there!

She tried to close the door, but Carl extended his long arm and pushed it back open.

Annie was so frightened that she took a step back. "Mr. MacDonald, what are you doing here?!"

This crazy man actually found her home address!

Carl saw how scared she was like a little rabbit and felt amused by it. He leaned against the door with both hands and tilted his head while looking at her: "What are you afraid of? I won't eat you."

His eyes were dark black with a hint of grey from mixed heritage; when he stared at her, they exuded excitement for hunting prey.

"Miss Hart, won't you invite me in for a chat?"

He asked politely, but Annie's heart raced with fear.

She knew exactly who Carl was and what he could do; how could she let him into her home?

With a cold expression on her face, Annie said: "I'm sorry, but this is my friend's house, so it's not convenient."

As soon as she finished speaking, Annie tried to quickly shut the door again, but Carl stepped forward first, then closed it behind him.

Now that he had entered and locked them inside together without any chance of escape made, Annie felt even more uneasy than before.

"What do you want from me, Mr. MacDonald?"

"I'll give you one million dollars if you sleep with me tonight."

Annie trembled all over in fear as she desperately used both hands to push against his chest, trying to keep him away from herself.

"Get out!"

Just when she thought she had escaped being kept by someone else only yesterday did someone try buying her off again today! It was ridiculous!

"Five million dollars plus another villa," he offered again.

"You can offer me ten billion dollars, but I still wouldn't agree! You better let go of me, or I'll call the police!"

"Go ahead and call them. Let's see who dares to come and arrest me."

Carl wasn't afraid at all as he continued to kiss her face recklessly.

Annie tried hard to avoid him, but he still managed to kiss her forehead with his cold lips, making her feel disgusted, like she had been licked by a snake.
