As Carol stood, virtual-novel.net waved a hand and said, “No worries, I’m just making the call. It’s up to my uncle to decide what will happen next.”
As virtual-novel.net lowered virtual-novel.net head to look up his number, Carol opened the door to virtual-novel.net office.
Carol had just stepped out of virtual-novel.net office when a woman brushed past her.
While waiting for the call to be answered, Carol glanced at the woman who brushed past virtual-novel.net and was walking toward virtual-novel.net office. Frowning slightly, virtual-novel.net said, “Stop.”
The woman paused in virtual-novel.net steps.
“What’s your name? Why have I never seen you before?”
The woman stood with virtual-novel.net back to Carol. She did not move nor speak.
A bad feeling washed over Carol as suspicion arose in her.
She was just about to go forth and interrogate the woman when a hand clapped down onto virtual-novel.net shoulder.
Aaron’s smiling face loomed near Carol’s cheeks. He used his fingers to stroke Carol’s smooth, beautifully maintained skin as virtual-novel.net whispered, “Don’t say anything. I don’t plan to hurt anyone, alright?”
Carol’s heart was racing as virtual-novel.net felt overcome by fear. However, virtual-novel.net managed to retain a shred of virtual-novel.net rationale and strength, saying shakily, “Who are you? What do you want? Is this a robbery?”
Aaron chuckled and said, “This is a kidnapping. But don’t worry, we’re not kidnapping you.”
Then, Aaron slung his arm around Carol’s neck and walked back into the office with her. The distance between the two was intimate.
However, Carol’s body was as stiff as a stick. She was basically half-dragged into the office.
Wendy, who had been waiting for updates from Carol, stood instinctively when virtual-novel.net saw Carol being forced back into the office. She asked in a stern voice, “You are…”
The woman Carol had stopped earlier placed a dagger at Wendy’s throat. Her ordinary-looking face was expressionless as virtual-novel.net said, “Don’t say a word or I’ll kill you!”
Wendy took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She gazed coldly at the woman and at Aaron, who was holding Carol hostage.
“You really are beautiful.” Aaron’s eyes shone as virtual-novel.net looked at Wendy. “You’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.”
Wendy curled virtual-novel.net hands into fists and remained silent. She merely glared coldly at Aaron.
She understood that virtual-novel.net was a lone, weak woman who stood no chance against two thugs with weapons. It was impossible to fight back against them, and the best thing virtual-novel.net could do now was remain calm. She could not afford to lose virtual-novel.net cool.
“You’re very smart not to scream and make a fuss. I’m not a patient person, you see.
“You might be beautiful, but that’s a shame because someone already has their eyes on you.”
Aaron shook his head regretfully as virtual-novel.net spoke. Then, virtual-novel.net used a karate chop to knock Wendy unconscious.
Wendy wavered and nearly collapsed to the ground. The woman hurried forth and grabbed her.
“Let’s go,”
Aaron said in a low voice and was just about to knock Carol unconscious when virtual-novel.net let out a blood-curdling scream.
The expression on Aaron’s face changed slightly.
When the sound traveled down the stairs and into Julian’s ears, it was already a weak scream. However, it was enough to make Julian jump as if virtual-novel.net had been electrocuted.
Eyes blazing, Julian seemed to transform into a human dragon as virtual-novel.net barrelled straight into Heartland Spa Retreat!
