Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

The Unseen Kingdom That Followed Me Into Every Dream by Alyndra Meron Valeen 82 Summary Ezra confronts the narrator with a smug and challenging attitude, imagining himself victorious as a security guard might restrain the narrator. The narrator, calm but concerned, warns Ezra to leave before things escalate. Instead of backing down, Ezra grows more arrogant, claiming ownership of the company and authority over its executives. Their tense exchange is abruptly interrupted by Baron and his assistant Lucas Johns, who catch Ezra off guard.

Ezra quickly fabricates a story accusing the narrator of being a spy from a rival company trying to steal secrets. He tries to portray the narrator as an unworthy partner, but Baron remains unreadable, while Lucas silently warns Ezra to return to his office. Lucas, familiar with the company's inner workings and the narrator's true nature, knows Ezra is dangerously mistaken in underestimating the narrator. Despite being reprimanded, Ezra refuses to back down and insists the narrator must be removed, convinced of some shady purpose.

The narrator watches Ezra with pity and disbelief at his stubbornness and lack of insight. Baron then questions what should be done with the narrator, prompting Ezra to suggest a search and some rough treatment, implying that harsh security measures are justified. Baron's faint, almost hidden smile suggests he is considering Ezra's suggestion, adding an ominous tone to the situation. The chapter ends with a tense atmosphere, hinting at the potential for confrontation as Ezra's jealousy and arrogance clash with the calm authority of Baron and the quiet power of the narrator.

Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below "Why? Are you trying to challenge me?" Ezra asked, a sly grin spreading across his face. In his mind, he already saw the scene unfolding-the security guard pinning me down, while he stood nearby, triumphant and smug. The very idea sent a thrill coursing through him. I remained perfectly still, my gaze drifting beyond him for a moment before returning with a calm yet concerned look. "You should leave. Right now. Before things get worse." Instead of calming him, my words seemed to fuel his arrogance. "Excuse me? This is my company!

Don't act like you own the place or have any authority over the executives here-" "Mr. Chapelle." A quiet but firm voice interrupted sharply. "Why are you out here instead of at your post? I thought you had work to do." Ezra spun around, his face tightening with surprise and unease. He hadn't expected Baron and his assistant, Lucas Johns, to be standing just behind him. "Mr. Goldman! Mr. Johns! Good morning-I didn't realize you were here," Ezra stammered, attempting to regain composure. Then, scrambling to salvage the situation, he seized on his prepared excuse.

"Actually, you arrived at the perfect moment. I caught this man sneaking around. He's probably a spy from one of our competitors, trying to steal trade secrets!" "I told him to leave, but he refused! He claimed he was here on some partnership-said he was working directly with you, Mr. Goldman! Can you believe that?" Ezra let out a bitter laugh, his eyes flashing with resentment. "He actually thinks he's your equal. Like some nobody could ever be your partner in anything." Baron's expression remained unreadable, but Lucas shot Ezra a sharp, warning glance. "Enough. Get back to your office.

Now." As Baron's assistant, Lucas knew the company's inner workings inside and out-and he knew a great deal about me. He had been the one monitoring the Canien estate that night. He understood something Ezra clearly did not: I was not someone to be trifled with. Ezra had no idea he was playing with fire. "Y-Yes, sir. Right away!" Ezra stuttered, clearly taken aback. He couldn't believe his attempt at bravado had earned him a reprimand rather than praise. Still, he wasn't ready to back down or let me have the upper hand. "But you need to hear me out, sirs! You can't just let him walk free.

He's definitely here for something shady, I know it! I won't be able to sleep until I see him escorted out of the building!" I regarded him with a mixture of pity and disbelief. How could someone so stubborn and dense have landed a role like assistant manager? At this point, whatever happened next was beyond my control. I had done my part by warning him. "Ezra Chapelle, is it?" Baron finally spoke, his voice calm but carrying weight. "Yes, that's me," Ezra replied, trying to sound confident. Baron nodded toward me.

"What do you suggest we do with our guest?" Lucas remained silent, though inside, he was screaming. Ezra was hopeless. Blinded by his own jealousy, Ezra didn't notice the sharp edge beneath Baron's calm tone. "I say we search him. He might have already taken something. And I think a little rough treatment is justified. Honestly, it's part of the job, isn't it?" A faint, almost imperceptible smile tugged at the corner of Baron's mouth. "Ah.

So you're suggesting we have security rough him up." Conclusion The tension in the room lingered like a fragile thread, stretched taut between authority and defiance. Each character's unspoken thoughts and hidden motives wove a complex tapestry of power, mistrust, and fragile control. Despite the confrontation's intensity, a quiet undercurrent of restraint held the situation from spiraling into chaos, revealing the delicate balance between dominance and vulnerability that defined their interactions.

With Lucas watching closely and Ezra's desperation growing, the upcoming events may force difficult choices and reveal unexpected alliances. Readers will be drawn into the suspense, eager to see how the balance of power will shift and what consequences will ripple through the lives of everyone involved.
