Sean’s expression darkened. “What? Shane is in Nalanica?”
“Yes. This afternoon, one of my men spotted him as he was exiting the airport,” the person on the other end reported.
At that, Sean’s hands abruptly tightened around his cell phone.
I didn’t expect him to come to Nalanica so quickly. It looks like he’s already aware that Natalie is in Nalanica. Otherwise, why didn’t he go to other countries but come here so fortuitously? He must have discovered that she’s here, so he came here in search of her! I wonder how he tracked her here when my plan of sending someone to kidnap her was flawless. How exactly did he find any leads?
“Where is he right now?” he demanded with his face as black as thunder.
The person on the other end of the phone shook his head. “I’m not sure. My man saw him getting into a car after leaving the airport. That car was newly bought and had no license plate, so we couldn’t locate it.”
Sean gritted his teeth. “In other words, you lost track of him?”
“Yes. I’m really sorry, Mr. Thompson,” the person on the other end of the phone murmured apologetically.
Inhaling deeply, Sean barely suppressed his wrath. “Never mind. Send some men out and furtively investigate his whereabouts. Inform me immediately when there’s news.”
“Understood.” The person on the other end of the phone nodded before asking, “Mr. Thompson, would you like to relocate?”
“Not at the moment. If we relocate, there’ll be a flurry of activity. Since he came here, it’s clear that he’s already certain that we’re in this country. As such, he must have many men in place now. In fact, he might even have contacted this country’s military and told them to keep an eye out for anything out of the norm at all times. If we clear out now, we’ll definitely be discovered and stopped,” Sean explained frostily, clenching his jaw.
“Got it. Then, I’ll arrange for some men to investigate his whereabouts first.” Feeling that it made sense, the person on the other end of the phone didn’t try persuading him further.
Sean grunted in acknowledgment. “Yeah.”
After the phone call had ended, he put his cell phone down and started mulling things over. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
Since he has already come this far, it’s only a matter of time before he finds me and Natalie. While we can’t relocate right now, we can’t stay here indefinitely either. I’ve got to figure out a way to lure him away by making him think that I’ve already moved someplace else with her. Then, he when has left Nalanica, I’d be able to relocate with her for real!
As his thoughts went in that direction, he picked up his cell phone and got to his feet. He headed outside the villa, seemingly planning to contact his men.
At the balustrade on the third floor of the villa, Natalie had been standing there for an eternity. Her hands tightened on the balustrade and shook with excitement presently. For the first time in the past few days, there was finally a smile on her face.
This is great! I’m really on one of the islands in Nalanica’s ocean, and Shane is already here to look for me. It seems that there’s hope for me!
However, Sean’s words earlier had her guard going up.
Although he has no plans of relocating, he definitely won’t be staying here indefinitely when Shane is here. Otherwise, Shane will still find us some time. Therefore, he’ll undoubtedly think of a way to take me away. If so, Shane won’t be able to locate me. No, I can’t allow him to take me away from here! Shane has finally tracked my general location after expending much effort, so all his hard work would be in vain if Sean suddenly relocates. I’ve got to think of a way to stay here. Not only that, but I must ensure that Sean and Jacqueline stay as well. Then, Shane will be able to take them both down when he comes!
As her thoughts wandered, she clutched the balustrade before spinning on her heels and returning to her room.
That night, she had her first night of good sleep after learning the good news that Shane was in the same country as her, her body and mind finally relaxing significantly.
