Too Late, Mr. Vampire Boss
689 Views · Ongoing · Noah
Adrian was a four-hundred-year-old vampire, and also my boss.
He always thought time was the cheapest commodity he had.
So he had no qualms about keeping me hidden in the dark for five years, no qualms about destroying my promotion in the name of "protecting" me, and no qualms about favoring a young girl who looked just like me.
He thought that as long as the danger passed, as long as he was willing to hand out a little compensation, I would stay right where I was and wait for him forever.
That is, until I cleared out my apartment overnight, cut off all contact, and completely vanished from his world.
He panicked.
He spent two years clearing every obstacle, surrendering all his power and wealth, just begging for me to spare him a single glance.
Beneath the New Year's Eve fireworks, he pleaded humbly, "I can wait. Ten years, twenty years, as long as you need..."
I took a step back, putting distance between us. "I used to love you very much, but love is not an exemption from consequences."
At that moment, he finally understood: for an immortal like him, his long life had, for the very first time, become the cruelest punishment of all.
