Chapter 528: He Is Very Cautious
Chapter 528: He Is Very Cautious
"Hilda? Who is Hilda?"
The manager asks in confusion.
Only then do I remember that he doesn't know Hilda.
"The one who gave me trouble in the restaurant last time."
Hearing that, the manager immediately understands, but he says to me, "No, it's a man."
Man?
I really can't think of anyone who will come for me, so I can only ask the driver to drive faster to the restaurant. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
When I return to the restaurant, I don't see the man the manager has mentioned.
I walk to the manager and ask him what was going on. He tells me that the man has left. He leaves me a phone number and asks me to make this call.
I look at the number and dial in confusion.
"Hello."
I say embarrassedly.
"Hello."
On the other end of the phone, there is a deep male voice.
I'm pretty sure I've never heard that voice before.
Then, why does this person come to me?
"Who are you? Why did you come for me?" I ask vigilantly.
There have been so many things happening lately that I have to be more defensive to deal with everyone I face.
I was not vigilant against Hilda before, so she has done so many terrible things to me.
And these things definitely shouldn't happen again.
"Let's meet and talk."
He is very straightforward.
Actually, I don't dare to go.
After all, I don't even know who he is. It's really too dangerous to rashly come to see him.
However, there seems to be a voice that keeps reminding me that I must go.
So all my struggles in the mind turn into a question, "When and where?"
"The stationery shop behind Rhine Town. Five o'clock this afternoon."
Rhine Town?
Is he talking about that neighborhood in my county?
To confirm my conjecture, I ask. What I get is an affirmative answer.
With that, he hangs up the phone.
I will be busy at five o'clock in the afternoon. If I ask the manager for leave, he will definitely not approve.
So instead of telling the manager, I leave the restaurant quietly at three o'clock.
Two hours later, I arrive at the stationery shop behind Rhine Town.
Inside, there are only the shopkeeper and two pupils who are shopping.
The shopkeeper is a woman, and it is impossible for a pupil to do so.
Is that person not here yet, or is he just making fun of me?
I take out my phone and want to ask him where he is when a text message comes in.
It is from that person.
"Someone is following you. Go to the ladies' room beside and climb out of the window. I will help you outside the window."
Someone's following me?
Why don't I notice?
This person is so cautious, making me even more curious about him.
I go to the ladies' room beside as he has said.
The window is so high that I can't reach it at all.
There is a small stool inside, and I step on it and climb up the window.
After crawling out of it with great difficulty, I see a man waiting for me below.
The man is wearing a hat and a mask, revealing only his eyes.
His gaze is very deep, as if he is someone who has many stories hidden.
Even if I can't see his face, I'm afraid of him for no reason.
"You want to see me?"
I ask.
"Yes." The man nods and points to the front. "There's a small teahouse over there. Let's go in and talk."
Without saying anything, I really follow him inside the teahouse. We come to a private room and sit down.
The waiter serves the tea and leaves. He walks to the door and closes it.
Strange to say, I'm actually not afraid at all when I'm with such an unfamiliar man.
It's like, I know he won't hurt me.
The man takes off his hat and mask and reveals his cold face.
He isn't bad looking. Although he isn't as handsome as Frances, he has a strong manly aura and is very charming.
Upon a closer look, he looks quite similar to Brad Pitt, a movie star.
Of course, I only love Frances, and I won't be fascinated by him.
I stare at him and say indifferently, "Who are you?"
He purses his lips and replies in a deep voice, "I'm Terence."
