*None of your business.” I smiled coldly
Lost in his mesmerizing blue eyes, I was about to answer him when it crossed my mind that he was prying into my personal life again. And I was arable to him at all.
So, taking a deep breath, I straightened up and checked my cell phone,
“Dhe is testing me to come back Thave to go!
My excuse gave me an easy escape as the mention of my daughter made him serious once again.
Telis sat back and looked at me thinghthilly,
Unsettled by his keen gaze.) I picked up my purse, ready to leave. However, my destination wasn’t home.
I had told Jane about this dinner, and she was okay with it. My daughter was sweet and understanding.
Tenly used her name to conceal my true intentions of confronting someone else: Melody.
The dinner was a failure. I couldn’t get any useful information from Felix, as it was impossible to break through his defenses
But Melody was his complete opposite.
She was impulsive, emotional, and somewhat unstable
Provoking her for the truth wouldn’t be difficult.
If she could betray me after keeping me in the dark for so long, I was also aware of her weaknesses due to our past relationship.
It was the right time to meet her and make her reveal information.
Bidding farewell to my diplomatic host, I spoke formally to express my gratitude for a professional evening.
But Felix wasn’t on the same page with me. His voice was laced with concern as he spoke,
ΠΙΡ
“It’s getting late, Miss Becker. And you had some wine as well. Let me arrange a car for you to get home safely.”
Hah! Look who’s talking about alcohol!
Although I wanted to say that his alcohol tolerance was low, it stayed in my mind as this intimate information could arouse his suspicion.
So, using co
courteous language, I refused him politely,
“Thank you so much for your consideration, Mr. Reed. But I am fine. My driver will pick me up.”
Felix still looked reluctant, not happy with my decision
But his assistant’s arrival on the scene ended this discussion.
He was here to pick up his bass
Tel had no choice but to leave with him.
I just modded with a police smile for goodbye ad a query was dancing in my head,
“What’s his deal?
Well it was none of my business what he felt or thought about me. So, I shook off the uneasiness and dialed a number, calling Echo
“Arrange a meeting with Melody right now, Echo I need to see her.
As Melody was likely at Reed Aerospace’s evening shift. I wanted to meet her care.
Meldan Hem Blow for 13 Years? Joke’s On Hum, I agred A Tycoon!
Confronting my enemy at her workplace was in my favo
Moreover, my dress could do wonders in such a case.
Melody’s reaction would be much more dramatic for wre
Pleased by my strategy, I walked out of the restaurant to see if Echo had arrived. There I saw a black car polling up before me
Taking it as my secretary’s prompt service, I waited for the door to open; however, it turned nut to be a grave unistake.
As soon as the door opened, a group of men in black rushed out and grabbed me, forcing me ins
One of them covered my mouth, dragging me into the vehicle forerfully.
In all happened so suddenly that I couldn’t even scream or
And when I came back to my senses, the car was racing towards an unknown destination in the dark!
Shoot! I was kidnapped!.
The first thought that came to my mind was my mobile, but they were one step ahead of me.
A man sensed my next move and tried to snatch my phone, but I didn’t lose heart and retaliated with full force.
But my futile attempts at resistance didn’t end well for me. That man slapped me hard acres my face and shouted,
“Give me your cell phone, woman.”
I struggled against their hold to protect my last hope of survival.
Then another slap made my world spin, hurting my head. A sharp stab of pain hit my skull as if someone were drilling a hole in it, making me wince in pain
The car became quiet as those slaps stopped my movements. I was riveted to my spot
This momentary break was enough for me to regain my composure, so I pondered over my current situation with a clear mind
I was kidnapped, but why?
