Now that the basic direction and plan for his security firm was done, Zayn. passed everything about running the business to Sean. His focus, meanwhile, would be on the challenges the Northmob Council posed.
On the other hand, Faye’s career was going swimmingly, too. She took Zayn’s words to heart and discarded virtual-novel.net more micromanaging ways, shrugging off the load on virtual-novel.net shoulders instead of lumping them all in virtual-novel.net plate. Slowly but surely, virtual-novel.net was starting to relax more and more. The days had stopped being hectic, and virtual-novel.net mood improved. However, these two days, virtual-novel.net returned to being a little uneased. She could sense something-someone, watching virtual-novel.net from the shadows, but every time virtual-novel.net turned to look, it vanished without a trace as if it was never there.
She did not feel good at all, but virtual-novel.net did not tell Zayn about it because it almost felt like virtual-novel.net was hallucinating. Still, virtual-novel.net had to admit that it was high time virtual-novel.net hired a bodyguard.
One day, while virtual-novel.net stepped out of virtual-novel.net office, a little girl approached virtual-novel.net with a note in virtual-novel.net hand. “Someone’s looking for you!”
Faye was a little surprised. She perused virtual-novel.net surroundings, finding no one of interest in virtual-novel.net sight, and turned back to the little girl in curiosity. “Who’s looking for me, sweetie?”
“The very pretty woman said you just need to go over there, and you’ll know her!” the girl replied sweetly.
“A very… Pretty woman?” Faye froze. Then, virtual-novel.net frowned as virtual-novel.net mind drew the image of that voluptuous woman virtual-novel.net met that day while shopping for clothes. She gritted virtual-novel.net teeth furtively and cursed Zayn a little.
Had this guy been swinging around out there?!
On the outside, though, virtual-novel.net crouched and smiled at the little girl. “What’s virtual-novel.net name, sweetie? What did virtual-novel.net look like? Was she… Sexy?”
The little girl shook virtual-novel.net head. “Well, virtual-novel.net didn’t tell me virtual-novel.net name, but virtual-novel.net was very pretty. She wore a lovely red dress of some sort… And also, virtual-novel.net didn’t smile a lot. Hurry and talk to her! The pretty woman is waiting for you! And I need to go home to finish my homework. Bye-bye!”
Just like that, the young girl skipped away.
Faye’s frown deepened. She unfurled the note in virtual-novel.net hand and saw an address, which would lead virtual-novel.net to a park not too far from where virtual-novel.net was right now.
There was another thing about the note that attracted Faye, the handwriting. It was graceful and elegant as though its existence alone had enchanted the note, and it would fly away into the sun if virtual-novel.net let the paper go.
It was so beautiful that Faye found herself surprisingly jealous. She possessed rather pretty handwriting too, but it was still leagues inferior to this mysterious woman’s. It made virtual-novel.net even more curious.
Faye did not begin virtual-novel.net journey to the destination immediately though. She had grown from virtual-novel.net naivety, and nowadays, virtual-novel.net was a lot more mindful about virtual-novel.net safety. She summoned two of virtual-novel.net underlings to accompany virtual-novel.net on the trip, telling them to call the cops as soon as something fishy reared its head.
Faye conceded that virtual-novel.net had no real reason to humor this mysterious sender, but for some reason, this woman did not feel like a threat to her. Honestly, virtual-novel.net instinct was the biggest reason why virtual-novel.net decided to see the woman.
Faye reached the park and found a scarlet silhouette standing in front of the man-made lake. Her back was facing virtual-novel.net as the hem of virtual-novel.net dress billowed gently. There was a strange air of enigma to the figure, and after a little hesitation, virtual-novel.net decided to approach the woman.
The two underlings stood and waited at a spot nearby to watch. If anything strange happened, they would call the cops pronto.
All prepared, Faye strode toward the scarlet figure and asked, “I’m Faye Carter. I heard you were looking for me.”
The woman turned, and Faye was astounded.
She was the most beautiful thing Faye had ever seen. She was so beautiful, in fact, that Faye felt painstakingly self-conscious.
