CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 1768

In the end, Karina decided to call the police.

The officers arrived quickly and brought both of them to the station. After understanding the situation, they began by addressing Kieran.

“I have a sister too, so I understand your feelings,” one of the officers said. “But your sister is an adult, and you need to respect her decisions. Plus, you’ve caused a significant disturbance for her neighbors, and this qualifies as a public nuisance.”

“I’m really sorry, Officer. I got too emotional because my dad is sick, and I wanted to persuade her to come home,” Kieran replied, his tone remarkably convincing.

If Karina hadn’t witnessed his other side herself, she might have believed his performance too.

The officer then turned to Karina. “Miss, when a parent falls ill, it’s a serious matter. Even if there are issues within the family, the focus should be on resolving them. You can’t avoid it forever.”

Karina quickly came up with an excuse. “It’s not that I don’t want to go back, but I’ve been really exhausted lately, and tickets to go home are hard to get right now.”

For now, her priority was deflecting Kieran and dealing with the situation at hand. She knew that if he had shown up once, there would definitely be a second time. Returning home wasn’t an option for the foreseeable future.

After some mediation, the police managed to get Kieran to back off.

Before leaving, Kieran gave her a long, unsettling look. “Get some rest. I’ll come back for you soon.”

That look sent a shiver down Karina’s spine. It wasn’t concern, it was a silent warning. This was only the beginning, and he would definitely show up again.

The manager seemed pleased with her enthusiasm. “Great. You can start tonight. Same rules as before: base salary plus commission. The more drinks you sell, the more you earn. And if you hit the top sales spot, you’ll get upgraded to a private single room.”

Those extra perks were just icing on the cake for Karina.

She went home to pack her toiletries and a change of clothes before heading to the dorm. After a quick clean-up of her new room, she took a nap before preparing for her evening shift.

The bar was bustling that night. Karina’s job was simple—selling drinks—but that didn’t stop some customers from trying to take advantage of her.

One particularly brazen customer leaned closer and asked with a smirk, “How many drinks would I need to buy to have you for the night?”
