“Okay, I’ll wait for you at the parking lot.”
After speaking, the man hung up.
Natalie placed the phone down and summoned Joyce. “Joyce, accompany me to collect a delivery.”
“Why? You can’t carry it?” she asked.
Natalie shook her head. “It’s not that. The delivery makes me feel uneasy.”
Then, she told Joyce about what happened.
After listening to her, Joyce thought that something was amiss too. Nodding, she said, “There’s definitely
something fishy going on. Let’s go. I’ll accompany you to take a look.”
“Okay.” Natalie nodded.
She had the same thought too.
The delivery was simply too strange. As she was afraid that she would be in danger if she went alone, it
was better if Joyce tagged along.
With an additional person with her, the possibility of her escaping was higher as well.
The two of them left the office and went to the parking lot.
Worried, Natalie asked Joyce to hide in a corner and keep an eye on her, while she contacted the
deliveryman.
“Hello, I’m at the parking lot now. Where are you?” Raising her phone, Natalie glanced around to find
him.
Soon, footsteps sounded behind her.
She spun around rapidly. However, before she could catch a clear glimpse of the person’s face, he
raised a spray bottle.
All Natalie could see was the mist drifting toward her. After smelling something strange, she started to
feel dizzy and her eyelids became heavier.
It was then that she knew that she had fallen into a trap.
Her body swayed. Unable to support herself anymore, she toppled backward.
The man who knocked her out immediately took a step forward. Before she fell onto the ground, he lifted
her over his shoulder and strode toward a black car.
When Joyce witnessed this scene, she sprinted toward them anxiously. “Hey, what are you doing? Let go
of Nat!”
The man stopped in his tracks, turned around and glanced at her. Smirking coldly, he raised his hand
mid-air and signalled.
Before Joyce could figure out what that gesture meant, she heard the roaring of car engines.
When she whirled around subconsciously, she saw a car zooming toward her.
The color immediately drained from her face. She was so terrified that she stood paralyzed to the spot.
Her mind was a complete blank. The only thought she had was that this car was going to knock her
down!
Joyce watched as the car zoomed closer to her. She could even smell the gasoline of the car and feel
the warmth of its emissions.
At that moment, she could almost imagine the scene of her body being sent flying away by the car.
Screaming in fear, she subconsciously closed her eyes and waited for death to befall her.
However, after waiting for a few seconds, she did not feel anything strange. She could not help but open
her eyes in surprise.
When she did that, she discovered that the car that was going to hit her had already left. She could still
see the back of the car.
What’s going on? Wasn’t it going to hit me?
Joyce stared in the direction of the car for a long while, her face turning pale. Only then did a sense of
relief wash over her while her fear disappeared gradually.
However, it was at that moment when she suddenly remember Natalie.
“Nat!” Joyce glanced at the spot where Natalie had been carried away and realized that the car was
already gone.
In other words, she had been abducted.
The car that almost hit her probably belonged to the same group of people who brought Natalie away. It
aimed to stop anyone from saving her.
If anyone appeared to save Natalie, someone would drive over to deter the person.
Hence, instead of killing her, the car was merely trying to scare her and buy more time for Natalie’s
kidnapper.
Damn it!
“This is bad!” Joyce stomped on the ground anxiously before whipping out her phone and informing the
police that Natalie had been kidnapped.
After calling the police, she quickly called Thompson Group, wishing to inform Shane.
However, as she did not have Shane’s number, she had no choice but to call Thompson Group’s
receptionist.
“Hello?” The receptionist’s gentle voice sounded. “How may I help you?”
