He looked at me with amusement, which made me scowl. "Just shut up already! You're making fun of me!"
"Not at all, I assure you."
"I want to do something on my own, without worrying about anyone else. That means you can't come along," I explained, looking straight ahead as I spoke. "I'm going to take advantage of this rare opportunity and get my life back. Even if it does mean working under the same roof as you. So don't even think about following me there."
His lips turned downwards in displeasure. "Fine. Do whatever you wish. Just don't forget who owns you, and who you belong to."
I snarled softly. "I won't," I promised through clenched teeth. "Now, please drop me off. I have things to do."
With no further ado, he pulled away from the curb, taking me to the place I worked.
After dropping me off, he drove away slowly, watching until I disappeared inside the building.
