She stopped in her tracks and said, “My apologies, Mrs.Larson.I’m just worried about any danger that might arise.”
Upon seeing that stern look on her bodyguard’s face, Natalie chuckled.
“Fine.Relax, I’m not mad at you.I just texted Brandon to inform him before I got off work.”
While they were talking, they had already arrived at the neighborhood where Elizabeth lived.lt was an old residential area.
Once they passed a certain block, the bodyguard stopped.
“What’s wrong? Why did you stop?” asked Natalie.
The bodyguard gave a hinted that someone was following them.
Natalie got the hint and looked back nonchalantly.
There was a man in black, standing beneath a nearby tree.
The man looked familiar to Natalie.
Upon taking a closer look, she recognized that it was Jorge.
Natalie was on high alert.She didn’t know what to do now.Her bodyguard gave her a pat on the back.
“Don’t be afraid, ma’am.Just keep walking.I’II take care of that guy.”
Having said that, she said loudly, “Mrs.Larson, go ahead without me.I! sprained my ankle.”
Natalie nodded, walked on, and pretended like nothing happened
Natalie and her bodyguard continued to walk on.
In order to lure Jorge out, they made sure to walk towards a dead end.
But even after waiting for a few minutes, he didn’t show up.
Natalie looked back, only to find that Jorge was already gone.
This meant that he didn’t follow them.
The bodyguard went back in search of Jorge.
Shortly afterward, she returned and said, “That guy is cunning. Seems like he saw through our plan and ran away.”
“Perhaps I was acting too obvious just now.”
Natalie was annoyed.
However, Jorge’s sudden emergence here took her by surprise.It was difficult for her to pretend like she didn’t see him.
“It seemed as though this wasn’t his first time following us.”
The bodyguard rubbed her chin.
“If he hadn’t been following us too closely, I wouldn’t even have noticed him.”
Natalie got goosebumps.
“I now understand why we haven’t been able to track him.It turns out that Jorge has been following me around this whole time. Brandon thought that with you around, I will be safe from harm, which is why he didn’t send too many men to protect me.And Jorge took advantage of it.”
Natalie didn’t like the idea of having too many bodyguards around her, which was why Brandon sent just one bodyguard to protect her, so as not to disturb her daily life and work.
He must not have anticipated that Jorge would use it to his advantage.
“I’ll report this to Mr.Larson. For now, I think we can rest assured. I believe that Jorge won’t be following us around for the time being now that he knows we know.He must’ve gone somewhere else already.”
Natalie bite her lower lip, took a deep breath, and calmed herself down.
She then turned to her bodyguard and asked, “Do I look calm enough? I’m worried that Elizabeth might notice something off about me when she sees me. She must be thinking that she had finally escaped from Jorge.If she finds out that Jorge appeared nearby, she’ll be scared out of her wits.”
The bodyguard looked around cautiously again, and said, “You look fine. Let’s go upstairs, Mrs.Larson.” Unbeknownst to her, there was a man drinking a bottle of water in a convenience store a hundred meters away from them.He put down the bottle, wiped his lips, and looked ahead with a sneer.It was Jorge. When he noticed that Natalie looked around seconds ago, he realized that they must’ve spotted him. Because of that, he ran away and hid himself at the convenience store. He meant Natalie no harm.
She was Brandon’s wife.
Hurting her would only invite trouble for himself.
His goal was Elizabeth all along, the bitch who turned him in to the police! It was clear to him that she was close friends with Natalie.She would certainly tell Natalie about her new address.
Following that logic, he gathered that as long as he followed Natalie, he’d be able to find Elizabeth.
“Does she think she can get rid of me by moving? How naive of her!” he muttered this neighborhood had been built for decades, and they had no elevators. Fortunately, Elizabeth lived on the third floor.
Natalie knocked on the door, and it was opened shortly afterward.
Elizabeth was delighted to know that Natalie was her visitor.
“I was actually just wondering when you’ll have the time to visit me!”
Uncertain of how to explain, Natalie stammered, “We, uh…we had dinner just now.”
“I see,” replied Elizabeth.
It seemed that she was doing much better than before.
“You had dinner? My aunt and I had been wanting to cook dinner for you.”
Natalie was stunned to hear that.She scratched the back of her head and awkwardly replied, “You know what? I guess it’s fine. We’re not that full yet.”
Elizabeth nodded affirmatively, letting Natalie into the room.
“Come! I’ll introduce you to my aunt.”
