Chapter 135 Just a rich girl Part 2

Medusa slammed the door open as she was in a race against time, but she was only able to take a few steps inside the abandoned factory before Nika appeared wielding a broomstick as a weapon and blocked her way. She raised a brow as the girl in front of her seemed familiar, but her clothes were different and far too expensive.

Medusa looked so different it made her doubt herself, at least until she looked at her characteristic crimson red eyes.

"You?" Said Nika, still somewhat jumpy.

"Miss Nika, I need your help." Medusa said.

"What do you need and how much am I going to get paid?"

"I need you to act as my bodyguard and take me to the Mapple corp. headquarters, please, it's a life or death situation."

"Are you deaf or something? If I'm not getting paid, I'm not lifting a finger. Besides, the Mapple corp. Headquarters is the last place on earth I want to go right now." Nika replied, though she was actually lying. There was one place she feared even more, but she really wanted to forget about it and leave everything related to Chichén Itzá in the past.

"What if I told you I could get you back on Mapple's good books?"

"Cut to the chase, what is this about?" Nika asked with suspicion. She didn't know Medusa that well, but the last time she saw her she looked and acted completely different.

"I am Winona Works, heir to the Mapple corporation."

"You are the lost child of the Works family!? But... why? What are you even doing in a place like this?" Nika asked with a dumbfounded expression on her face.

"The reason I ran away from my family is because... I wanted to escape from an arranged marriage with someone I don't even know from a family that used to be our rival. Mapple ended up destroying their company years ago, but now they became important figures on the government. That makes this alliance very important for father.

I don't know why do they want to capture Uriel, but If he tells them he knows me, he's as good as dead."

Sufficed to say, Nika was ecstatic with the opportunity of being the one responsible for bringing her back to the Works family as both factions would be grateful. She wasn't nearly as interested in the reward as she was in being able to stop hiding, but actually, as soon as Medusa mentioned Uriel's life was at risk she already decided on helping her.

She was indebted to Uriel for more than one reason and she wanted to pay him back. Even if he didn't forgive her, she would never abandon him again. Find more chapters on empire

"I'll do as you command." Nika bowed down, while trying to hide a huge grin.

As they entered the Mapple corporation headquarters Nika detected a small wave of flux energy in the cafeteria. Both of them were desperate to rescue Uriel and yet, they couldn't afford to rush over there. The main reason why they needed to act as though they weren't interested on him was because Medusa begged Nika not to tell Uriel anything, especially about her arranged marriage.

From as far as Medusa could remember people would always try to befriend her with the sole intention of getting closer to the Mapple corporation. and Uriel was one of the very few people she considered as friends. Of course she didn't think he would try to take advantage from her position, but the same couldn't be said of her family.

If they found out that she was interested on Uriel, her family wouldn't even think twice before issuing an order to kill him if that meant bringing her back. Family matters were complicated, but even more so for the Works family as every little event could have great political repercussions.

"Medusa?" Uriel muttered. His hand was caught by a handsome man dressed like an explorer, but other than that he seemed fine which alleviated some of her worries.

'I'm sorry, I can't let you reveal we're friends. Please forgive me.' Medusa silently thought as she used her petrifying glare on Uriel.
