Chapter 17 - Chapter 16: Attachment

Verena kept looking out of the window the whole time and would take a few glances at him. 

She wasn't sure how she should thank Louis for his help. 

She felt like her heart was melting when he said to trust him. She felt like she could get anything by his side. 

She immediately shook her head, how could she even think like that? 

Verena looked at him and saw his side profile. 

"Um, thank you for your help. I don't know how I would have to keep her grave safe if not for you." She genuinely smiled at him. 

Louis stared at her for a second longer but said nothing. She looked away from him embarrassed. 

Did I say something wrong? She wondered but only shrugged her shoulders. 

"Can you take me to my apartment?" Verena asked. 

"Your apartment?" He asked as if he was shocked that she didn't wanted to go back with him at his house. 

"Yes. I am grateful for your help so far. But I think we shouldn't be meeting each other. I will rest and get well soon." She smiled at him and told Joshua the address. 

Joshua body stiffened and he glanced at his boss through the rare view mirror. He caught his boss dark look. Clearly he wasn't happy with her decision to go back to her place. 

Joshua immediately look away not wanting to feel goosebumps on his skin. 

"We are here." He announced and gulped when he felt the temperature in the car turned cold. 

"Benny will be sad." Louis muttered. 

Verena stopped when she was about to open the door and turned to him. "I know he will be but I have to distance myself with him. I don't want him to get attached to me." 

Or me to him. 

Louis stared at her and didn't know how to make her stop. The guy who had never beg neither shown his true feelings was a bit hesitant. 

Verena got no reply so she opened the car door and with the help of Joshua she sat on the wheelchair. He helped her inside the apartment and walked back. 

He halted as he took the cigarette from his pocket and glanced at the spot where his car was. 

He wasn't surprised his boss left him alone here. "Boss is very furious this time." He muttered to himself and glanced at the up at the small apartment.
