She reached out and touched my messy hair and soon her hand became covered with dust. She seemed happy when she grabbed my hand. “Come on, go home with me. Don’t disappear again.”
I didn’t move and that caused her to turn. Upon meeting my icy gaze, she got confused.
“Renata, what do you want me to do so that you'll finally let me go?” I asked.

She didn’t give me a chance to speak and just pulled my arm hard. “Come home with me!”
She pushed me into the car and took me back again.
On the way, she answered a call. The moment we reached home, she hurried to the company and told Leonhart not to let me run away.
