Chapter 48: You Owe Me A New Phone Chapter 48: You Owe Me A New Phone “That wasn’t the agreement,” Nnenna argued, turning to face him again.
“You promised to stay in the car while I handled everything.” “Yes, I did promise that,” Ikenna said, his tone steady but unyielding.
“That was before you told me this was an hour’s drive from the hospital.
How am I supposed to trust whoever you’re meeting there?” He glanced at her briefly, his expression softening slightly.
“I’m just trying to keep you safe.” “Well, I didn’t ask you to keep me safe,” Nnenna shot back, her tone sharper than she intended.
It wasn’t that she didn’t appreciate the effort; it was just that he had made her grovel before agreeing to the drive, and that had left her annoyed.
Ikenna glanced at her briefly before returning his focus to the road.
“True, you didn’t ask.
But your family did.
That’s why I have to ensure you’re safe.” His voice was calm but firm, making it clear he wasn’t budging on the matter.
“You’re the fifth child of the royal family, right?
Your parents wouldn’t want anything to happen to you.
If something does, the responsibility falls squarely on me.” His words hit her like a splash of cold water.
She sat back, her irritation softening into understanding.
If something really did go wrong, as much as the royal family would most likely celebrate, it would still indeed be on Ikenna’s head Nnenna decided to be considerate of Ikenna’s role in protecting her.
“Okay,” she agreed.
“You can follow me inside, but whatever you see me do there, either back me up or stay silent, please.” Ikenna nodded, his curiosity growing.
He still didn’t know why this visit sounded less like meeting a friend and more like confronting a suspect.
An hour later, they arrived at Build a Fortune Finance Company.
Ikenna drove into the parking lot and turned off the engine.
Following closely behind, he silently observed as Nnenna entered the company.
