Once Bitten, Twice Shy
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ronald chased after Harmony and ran into the office while apologizing to Timothy, “I’m sorry, Mr. Barker. I couldn’t stop Ms. Johnson!”
Timothy looked at Ronald and gestured for the latter to be at ease.
Ronald was quite surprised that Harmony was able to receive such treatment because it used to be reserved for Samantha.
The couple Ronald once rooted for had ended up having a bad ending!
All he could do was chide in his heart while maintaining an unchanged expression. He nodded, turned around, and closed the door gently as he walked out.
“Tim…” Harmony continued sobbing. “I was jailed for an entire night yesterday because of Samantha. I’ve never suffered such humiliation before.”
The man’s eyes were glowing darkly as he looked at her face. A few seconds later, he opened his lips and said, “If that’s the case, then alright.”
He picked up his phone and dialed a number.
The other side answered quickly and Timothy ordered succinctly, “Do it.”
It was blunt and firm.
Those two words seemed to have a tranquilizer-like effect on Harmony and made her feel incredibly at ease. She could not control herself from curling her lips into a smile.
The condition she demanded from Timothy that day was exactly the phrase: ‘I want Samantha dead!’
Samantha had gone against her repeatedly and she had given that woman many opportunities now. Unfortunately, Samantha did not know good from bad and never had any sense of propriety.
Had Samantha been willing to just divorce quietly and disappear from her sight, she would be open to letting Samantha live.
Unfortunately, Samantha was too greedy and wanted many things.
Since Samantha was so adamant about taking what did not belong to her, Harmony’s only recourse was to take Samantha’s life!
She never expected for Timothy to have to do it that quickly, but the entire plan that Samantha had set up trampled over her limits.
All she wanted was for Samantha to die a sufferable death!
As long as Samantha was dead, Harmony could always think of other plans.
If she was the one making the move, Samantha might have a chance to escape; as a result, she opted against making a move herself and let Timothy do it instead.
Timothy’s move would condemn Samantha to death!
Harmony became happier the more she thought about it and her eyes brightened. She said gently to Timothy, “You’re very kind to me, Tim. We’ll be blessed in the future.”
Timothy’s eyes were sullen as he curled his lips.
…
After more than ten hours on the plane, it was past four in the evening when Samantha landed in Aharromoggh.
Samantha had practically slept throughout the entire flight because she felt drowsy from the beginning. It was not until she landed that she opened her eyes.
That way she would not feel too bored, at least.
After getting off the plane, she waited for her luggage and exited the airport. Outside, she called a taxi and gave the address of the company’s dormitory.
No one was available to pick her up because there were very few employees and most of them were out in the field.
Samantha was lucky not to require their help as she was used to doing things independently when she was alone abroad.
About 40 minutes later, the car arrived at a residential area.
Samantha got out of the taxi and dragged her luggage into building number one. The entire building was an exclusive dormitory that housed most of the employees for MNK Television.
When she reached Room 501, Samantha keyed in the password and opened the door to enter.
It was a large single room with about 40 square meters of space. There was a small kitchen, a small toilet, and was quite complete despite its small size.
After Samantha set her luggage aside, she immediately opened the window to ventilate the room and took a rag to give it a brief clean.
Her phone then rang all of a sudden.
Samantha grabbed her phone with a free hand and immediately answered when she saw that it was a WeTalk call from Rochelle.
They talked while she cleaned.
“Have you arrived, Samantha? What’s the place like? Is it spacious? Comfortable? More importantly, is it safe?”
Samantha could not help but laugh. “Which question should I answer when you’re asking so many in one go?”
She nevertheless still answered them patiently one by one. “It’s not too bad. A big single room is more than enough for me to live alone. It’s safe…or at least it should be. Most of the people living here are colleagues from the company.”
As she said that, she switched the display from the front camera to the rear camera to show Rochelle around the apartment.
Rochelle, however, had a displeased look. “I don’t think there’s even room for you to turn around, and don’t forget you’re pregnant too! Why don’t we find you a higher-end apartment?”
“Don’t worry about it. This place is just a transit area. Why are you being so high profile?” Samantha laughed. “I’ve previously checked the route to MNK Television and found out that it is only a ten-minute journey from here. I promise that I won’t go out for no reason other than my daily commute. I’ll stay safe until the three months are over, okay?”
Rochelle had no choice but to compromise when Samantha said that.
Any move from her would fall under Jonathan’s scrutiny, and so she had to be extra cautious to prevent Samantha’s child from being revealed.
Rochelle reminded, “You must be very careful, alright. We’ll call every night so I can make sure you’re alright.”
Samantha naturally did not refuse. “Okay.”
“Oh, by the way, didn’t you say that Dr. Jameson and his assistant will be with you? Are they going to live in this apartment building too?”
Samantha replied, “Dr. Jameson and Leah are attending a medical conference, so they’ll be heading to Lendirsa for a few days before transferring here.”
“They’re renting a room at the apartment next door. It’s very close by, so don’t worry.”
Rochelle was relieved when she heard that they would be arriving in a few days, “If you need anything, please contact me as soon as you can.”
“Sure.”
…
The next day, Samantha went to MNK Television to report for work.
Her immediate boss was a chubby middle-aged man named Micah Lind. He was a genial man who smiled constantly and had been stationed here for nearly ten years.
He was extremely welcoming to the journalists who took the initiative to apply for a position there and was particularly friendly to her after learning about her experience.
After giving a brief overview, Micah stood up and reached out to shake her hand. “Thank you for coming here, Ms. Larsson. Welcome to our big family.”
Samantha got up as well and reached out to accept his handshake. “Mr. Lind, I’ll be in your care for the next three months.”
Victoria had probably given Micah a heads-up, so Samantha was mostly assigned jobs that could be done in the station, such as writing reports or making news broadcasts. There was no fieldwork for the time being.
During those few days, Samantha was only either at work or at home and began to gradually get used to life there.
She avoided thinking about Timothy. As soon as the slightest thoughts about him popped up, she would think of the child in her stomach and shift her attention away very quickly.

She could more or less get by that way.
On a certain day, she went home and chose some fresh ingredients from the refrigerator to cook a meal.
She was not used to the food there, so she had decided to make her own meals for the sake of her baby’s nutrition.
Her phone rang as she was cooking.
Samantha thought it was Rochelle calling to check up again, but after glancing over, she saw that it was a call from Vincent..
