Chapter 297
It was a beautiful and starry night.
Natalie took a few photos of the dazzling night sky in fall with her phone. The gorgeous landscapes put her in a good mood.
“Excuse me.”
Turning around, she was met by a young man dressed in a staff uniform. Clearly, he worked at the Weiss residence.
“May I know if you’re Ms. Natalie Nichols?”
Narrowing her eyes, she nodded. “Yes, I am.”
Upon confirming her identity, the staff uttered, “Ms. Natalie, Mr. Collins would like you to meet him at the rooftop. He has something to tell you.”
“Mr. Collins?”
“Mr. Christopher Collins.”
“Did he mention why?” Natalie asked further.
“Um… Nope.”
Natalie grinned. “No worries, I’ll be there.”
Although the zephyr ruffled her hair and blew the hem of her skirt, she maintained her composure. Her placid appearance triggered a sense of guilt in the young man, who left after conveying the message.
She gazed at the sky and let out a sigh.
She thought that it would be nothing but tranquil when she decided not to have Samuel accompany her to the banquet organized by the Weiss family. It turned out things did not go as she had wished.
What’s so secretive that must be said on the rooftop instead of here? If it’s not something confidential, then it surely is a trap. It seems like there’s no escaping the inevitable.
Natalie took a deep breath, trying to suppress all irrational thoughts.
