Chapter 711 Scare A Big Catch Away
Yeva took a photo of her expensive dessert and ate it while editing the said photo to post on her Instagram.
She glanced at the table beside hers and noticed someone had left behind a Patek Philippe men’s watch there.
The Patek Philippe watch had a gleaming face and an eye-catching emblem that combined a knight and cross. Yeva instantly knew that the said watch was worth a hefty sum.
This watch…
Yeva glanced around and saw that no one was looking her way.
She remained in her seat for a while and noticed that the table was in the surveillance cameras’ blind spot. Therefore, it would not record who took the watch. Thus, she could take the watch, and no one would notice.
Yeva was no longer interested in editing her selfie. While no one looked her way, she walked to the neighboring table and slipped the Patek Philippe watch into her bag.
This is an unexpected good fortune!
After stealing the watch, Yeva smiled happily and felt overjoyed by her good luck.
She quickly paid her bill, took her high-end store shopping bags, and left the dessert shop.
Meanwhile, Christopher and Natalie remained nearby and watched Yeva steal the Patek Philippe watch.
“Natalie, are you treating me as a tool for your cause?” Christopher pressed a hand against the wall and said, “Did you invite me out to create a chance for her to steal that watch?”
Natalie glared at him. “Mr. Collins, don’t describe yourself as a tool. I truly appreciate your help with this matter. Let me treat you to a meal later as a thank you.”
“You better keep your promise,” Christopher said.
“Of course! I’m a woman of my words!” Natalie replied.
Then, Christopher brought Natalie to Acapella. The waiter seated them in an elegant private dining room.
Soon, more waiters came in and placed various delectable food on the table.
“Don’t you think the food is too much for the two of us?” Natalie asked as she looked at the table full of food.
“Why?” Christopher raised an eyebrow. “Didn’t you say you would buy me a meal? Does it bother you that I ordered a lot of food?”
“No, that’s not it. You can order as much as you want. I’m just concerned that it is wasteful if we can’t finish the food,” Natalie explained softly.
Christopher poured himself a glass of wine and glanced at Natalie. “I’ve always been curious. Isn’t it uncomfortable to wear that mask all the time? Now that we are the only ones here, can you take off your mask and let me see your real face?”
Natalie was stunned to hear this request. However, she quickly removed the hyper-realistic mask.
“It felt strange when I first wore it, but I got used to it after some time,” Natalie said.
Then, she picked up her fork and began to eat. As she did not have an appetite, she only ate a little food at a slow pace.
Christopher sipped his wine and looked at her beautiful face. His thoughts began to wander.
He suddenly recalled her singing at the Shine Charity Gala. She had a lovely and moving voice.
He had fallen for her, but the reality cruelly shattered his hope.
Christopher quickly downed a whole glass of wine.
“Why didn’t Samuel do anything after what happened to Dream? What’s wrong with him?” he asked coldly.
“I told him not to get involved.” Natalie finished chewing her food before continuing, “I’m waiting for my target to take the bait. If he helps me, he could scare my catch away.”
“Oh, I see. That makes sense. I was wondering how Samuel could stand not doing anything!” Christopher stopped smiling. “Has he been treating you well?”
Natalie understood that Christopher was concerned about her. Therefore, she smiled and answered, “He is a good man, and he treats me well.”
Christopher poured himself another glass of wine. He finished it before nodding. “Oh, in that case, I have nothing to worry about then.”
