Chapter 12 A Stalker
Kelly’s POV
“Mr. Anderson, Miss Monroe, the meeting will start in 5 minutes.”
I nodded at my assistant and looked at Pierce who’s standing behind me. His forehead was still creased and he’s staring at my
face. He looked confused but still angry. I don’t know why he hates Chris. Even when we’re in college, he hates him. Chris is a
good man. He accepted my decision when I rejected him. He didn’t hold a grudge against me. He understood me. 1
Shaking my head, I turned my back on Pierce and started walking towards the conference room. I felt him following me but I
didn’t look back.
The meeting started right after we arrived. Everyone was silent and serious and yet here’s Pierce who kept on sending me
messages. He’s still convincing me to reject Chris and that makes me really annoyed.
He doesn’t have the right to rule my life. He’s my best friend and yes, also my ex–husband. That means he doesn’t have a say in my personal life anymore. I need to draw a line of limitation to our relationship. He just doesn’t understand what’s going
After the meeting, Pierce is at it again. He grabbed my arm in the middle of the hallway, ignoring the people who were looking at us. Though I know they won’t put malice on our situation because they know we’re best friends.
“Kelly, you have to listen to me.”
“Why are you so desperate to control my relationship, Pierce?” I asked, whispering in his ear as I glared at him.
“I’m not controlling you.”
“Yes, you are!”
He shook his head. “I don’t like him for you. Don’t date him.‘
“What if I tell you that I don’t like Lexi for you either? Would you still date her?”
His lips parted as he slowly let go of my arm. Now we’re talking:
I hissed and turned my back on him. I went to the comfort room because I was suddenly dizzy. Probably because he got so close that I smelled his perfume. God! Our baby would look exactly like a copy of him.
I entered the cubicle and sat on the water closet, trying to calm myself down. I squeezed my eyes closed and massage my temple when I heard someone open the door of the comfort room.
I was planning to ignore it because I know it might be just a female employee but the sound of the shoes doesn’t sound like a female’s shoe. My forehead creased. Did Pierce follow me here? This is a female’s comfort room!
“What are you doing, Pierce?” I asked, annoyed when I heard the footsteps coming towards the last cubicle where I entered
The footsteps stopped and strangely, I felt nervous. I don’t know why what happened seemed so creepy. I feel like I’m in some thriller movie and someone’s waiting for me outside to kill me.
I swallowed hard as I slowly opened the cubicle. I jumped in shock when I saw a janitor standing by the front door as if waiting for me to come out.
He immediately bowed his head. “Sorry, Miss Monroe. I thought no one’s inside ”
I just nodded at him before I washed my hands on the sink. I kept on glancing at him from the mirror because I felt like his stares were creepy. I think he’s just the same age as Pierce. He wasn’t smiling and his eyes were blank, something that made him even creepy
I faced him after I washed my hands. “You’re new here?”

He nodded. “Yes. I started just last week.”
I nodded as my eyes examined his whole body. “Didn’t your superior inform you that cleaners are scheduled to clean after office work? Not during office hours.”
He bowed his head and I felt like I saw sarcasm in his eyes. Why do I feel like this person is hiding something?
I shrugged my shoulders and walked past him. I kept my chin high even when I felt his stares following me. I went straight to my office and sat on my swivel chair. I was massaging my forehead when my assistant knocked on my door.
“Miss Monroe, you left your phone in the comfort room.”
I accepted my phone and looked at her. “Did the cleaner bring this?”
“Yes, Miss.”
I clenched my jaws and examined my phone. I must be just paranoid. He seemed harmless even when he’s creepy
immediately gave back my phone right after I left it.

I shrugged the thought off my head and proceeded on paperwork. I kept myself busy all day. My assistant brought me lunch and snacks and if not for my baby’s sake, I won’t eat because I have so much paperworks to do. Plus, I’m reviewing the budget proposal for the upcoming anniversary of the company. The party will be next week and I’m worried that it will be chaotic since the employees and our family will be there. Of course, Lexi will be there and Pierce’s family doesn’t like her.
After work, I glanced at the bouquet before grabbing my bag. I noticed a card, so I grabbed it and read the note. My lips parted when I realized Chris is inviting me to lunch. I don’t have his number so I can’t call him. I suddenly feel guilty.
I pushed the card in my bag and went out of my office. The employees have already left an hour ago and even my assistant is not here anymore. I rode the elevator alone while still thinking about what would happen at the anniversary party. When I reached the parking lot, I froze when I felt like someone was watching me.
I roamed my eyes around as I swallowed hard. I already saw the car but I’m still far from it and worse is I couldn’t see Luke
around the car. Where is he?
With trembling hands, I took my phone out to call Luke. My feet are walking so fast and I feel like someone is following me
behind.
“d*mn it, Luke!” I cursed as I started running towards the car.
My hands are trembling and sweating so much as I run for my dear life when I bumped into someone.
“AHH! GET OFF ME!”
“Kelly! Kelly!”
My heart almost stopped beating but when I heard that familiar voice, I felt tears rolling down my cheeks in relief.
I lost my balance and Pierce immediately wrapped his arms around my legs and back, carrying me. He looked at me with a worried face. His face immediately darkened after he saw my frightened expression.
“What happened, Kelly? You’re pale! Fck! What’s wrong?” He kept on glancing behind me.
I swallowed hard and buried my face in his chest. “S–Someone’s following me.”
“What? Where the hell is Luke?”
I shook my head. “I–I don’t know.”
“WHERE HAVE YOU FCKING BEEN, LUKE?” Pierce suddenly shouted and that’s when I saw Luke coming
Luke glanced at me with a worried face while Pierce walked towards his car, still carrying me

“Check the area and the CCTV footage. Someone’s following Kelly. I’ll take her with me.”
“Pierce, my bag.”

He just ignored me and put me in the passenger seat of his car. He put my seatbelt on and closed the door beside me.
I squeezed my eyes closed and rested my head on the headrest. I felt like I was close to passing out a while ago. Thankfully, Pierce came. I thought I was going to die.
