They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System

Chapter 50: Sit Tight!

Chapter 50: Sit Tight!

“You know,” Ikenna began, his tone eerily calm, “I wasn’t planning to interfere.

| was here to observe, just as she asked.” He gestured toward the door, where Nnenna waited outside,

undoubtedly smirking.

“But then you thought it was a good idea to lunge at her.

Big mistake.” Reuben gulped, his mouth suddenly dry.

“I watched her call you ‘big taccountant uncle’ and take your pictures,” Ikenna continued, his tone casual

yet laced with steel.

“She was smirking the whole time.

But me?

I'm not smirking, Reuben.

Do you know why?” Reuben shook his head quickly, sweat beading on his forehead.

“Because | don’t find this situation funny,” Ikenna said, stepping closer.

His voice dropped lower, more menacing.

“I'm trying to figure out if you're just a liar...

or something worse.

So, I'm going to ask nicely.

What exactly were you planning to do to her, Mr.

Big TAccountant?” From everything Nnenna had said, Ikenna pieced the situation together.

The fact that she call the way here just to take pictures of this man in such a calculated way told him

everything he needed to know, Reuben was lying about who he was, and Nnenna was determined to expose him.

Ikenna recalled an office gossip he had overheard during lunch.

One of the nurses, Nurse Courage, was engaged to a man who was rumored to be a “big taccountant.”

However, the man was described as violent and short tempered.

That nurse was the sone who had been looking after Nnenna, often going out of her way to care for her

even when it wasn't her shift.

Ikenna had pitied her when he heard that.

Now he understood the real reason behind her actions, the man in front of him was dangerously charming.

It looked like Nnenna wasn’t just exposing Reuben as a liar but also as a disrespectful and abusive man.

Maybe this was her way of giving the nurse the proof she needed to leave him for good.

Ikenna was deep in thought when something caught his attention, a sharp glint in Reuben’s eyes.

Before he could fully process it, Reuben lunged at him with a pocket knife.

Bang!

Ikenna kicked the man to the ground, his voice calm but firm.

“You wanted to stab me?

You should've asked yourself who you were messing with first.” Ten minutes later, Ikenna stepped out of the

closet, closing the door firmly behind him.

Nnenna’s curiosity piqued instantly.

From the muffled sounds of grunts, thuds, and what seemed like someone trying to shout for help, but being

silenced, she had been wondering what exactly had gone on in there.

She stared at lIkenna, noting his calm demeanor.

There wasn’t a single bead of sweat on his face as he casually wiped his hands with Reuben’s sanitizer, which he

must have taken from the closet.

“Uncle—I mean, Brother lkenna,” she corrected herself quickly, her eyes narrowing as curiosity got the better of

her.

“What did you do to him in there?” Ikenna glanced at her and smiled faintly, patting her soft, long hair as if she

were his child.

“Don’t worry about that.

You have your pictures, right?

Let’s head back to the hospital.

| still have sthings to handle,” he said, walking ahead without giving her a chance to reply.

Nnenna stood there for a moment, her eyes darting to the closet door.

She wondered if she should open it to check on the man inside, but after a second thought, she decided against

i)

Instead, she hurried after Ikenna, who was already nearing the elevator.

Once downstairs, Nnenna offered the receptionist a polite cute smile and waved goodbye, earning another loving

look from the young woman at the desk.

Ikenna observed the interaction and rolled his eyes before joining her.

The two of them got into the car and drove back to the hospital at a leisurely pace, the atmosphere quiet and

filled with unspoken thoughts.

On the way, Ikenna was about to speak to Nnenna when something caught his eye.

His gaze shifted to the side mirror, where he noticed a familiar car.

It was the sone that had been following them earlier when they were on the expressway.

At first, he thought it was just another car heading in the sdirection, but now it was clear that it had been

tailing them since they left the company.

Ikenna’s grip on the steering wheel tightened, and his senses went on high alert.

To confirm his suspicions, he took a few detours, driving through random streets and looping around traffic heavy

areas.

But no matter where he went, the car remained behind them.

By now, there was no doubt in his mind, they were being followed.

He glanced at the girl beside him, her face calm as she stared out the window, unaware of the situation.

“Sit tight,” he said suddenly, his voice sharp and tense.

Nnenna turned to him with a confused look.

“What do you mean, sit tight?” she asked.

But before she could get an answer, Ikenna slammed his foot on the accelerator.

The car surged forward with a roar, pushing her back against her seat.

“What are you doing?!” she shouted, her voice filled with panic.

Ikenna didn’t answer, his eyes darting between the road ahead and the rearview mirror.

He weaved through traffic with precision, his movements swift and calculated.

Horns blared around them as he cut through lanes, narrowly avoiding slower vehicles.

His focus was unshakable, his hands firm on the wheel as he navigated the chaotic streets.

The pursuing car picked up speed, determined not to lose them.

Ikenna gritted his teeth and took a sharp left into a less crowded street.

The sudden turn caused Nnenna to grab onto the door handle then the edge of her seat for balance.

Nnenna sat wide eyed, her knuckles turning white as she gripped the edge of her seat tighter.

“What are you doing?

Slow down!” she demanded, her voice rising in panic.
