If Nathaniel had been trailing her, Sven would have noticed and warned her. Nathaniel made sure she got into the car first before saying a word. Once they were both seated, he finally broke the silence. 

“Didn’t you text me yesterday? I made a reservation like you asked. That doesn’t count as stalking, does it?” he said. 

He knew Cecilia wasn’t fond of being followed, which was why he chose to approach the situation this way. 

Cecilia was left a bit speechless. This isn’t much different from stalking, is it? 

“Could you, in the future, ask for my permission before tracking my location when you come looking for me?” she asked, trying to keep her tone even.

Seeing how quickly he agreed, Cecilia felt a bit relieved and decided not to push the matter further. 

“Drive me to the office, will you? I need to catch a quick nap,” she said, leaning back against the seat. 

She hadn’t had the luxury of sleeping in and figured she could catch up on rest during the ride. Before Hong, exhaustion got the better of her, and she dozed off, her posture slightly slumped. 

Nathaniel gently pulled her closer into his arms and softly instructed the driver, “Drive a bit slower.”

Cassandra smiled as Queenie walked away, but the moment she was out of sight, Cassandra’s expression hardened.

Cassina froze under her sister’s intense stare, her voice faltering. “J–Just a friend… You wouldn’t know her.”
