Chapter 347: The New Driver

"Athena, you are not going with them? I thought..." Rodney’s words dried up in his mouth when he was met with unfriendly glares from both Aiden and Ewan.

What had he done wrong now? He checked himself, his words.

Firstly, he had been left like a destitute while the others had flocked into a phone booth he had watched, wide-eyed, transporting them downwards... to an underground facility? He wasn’t sure.

Seeing the sophisticated attires and weapons most of the men had adorned, he knew he had walked into some complicated nonsense. Only the amount of money Aiden had proposed as his monthly salary; after bombarding him with questions, after giving him the details of his job—just drive her!—had kept him rooted in the madness.

If not, why would he be involved with gangsters and whatnot?

He loved his life! And maybe... he loved his boss.

Although he didn’t think that was enough to sacrifice his life and ambitions. Not with those men looking at him as if he had farted.

Were they her husbands? He hoped not.

He was curious about his boss, whom he had read about—after the phone call that he could see now was beginning to change his life—she was a doctor and a businesswoman. And now something else, from what he could see; no way were all these bulky fellows government-approved.

Rodney however hoped that these men wouldn’t stop his quest. He raised an eyebrow daringly when they refused to look away, when Athena remained silent, watching the others who were transporting cartons of things he wasn’t aware of—things he prayed were not drugs or illegal—into vans.

He bit his lip, getting annoyed when a fellow next to Ewan scoffed. Who was that?
