Chapter 287 Awakening
Colby nodded. "Alright, I'll get my guys on it and let you know as soon as we find something."
Colby left the study and saw Lucky wagging his tail by the bedroom door, wanting to go in. When Lucky saw him, he got even more excited, making noises as if asking Colby to open the door.
Colby walked over and petted Lucky's head. "You can't go in. You might scare the girl inside. Ask your dad about it."
Lucky whimpered. Colby stood up. "You're so curious, Lucky."
He walked downstairs, turned around, and saw no one. He laughed and muttered, "Not even a send-off."
Even Lucky didn't see him off!
Adrian came out of the study and went to the bedroom door. Lucky immediately stood up, wagging his tail. Adrian opened the door, and Lucky followed him in, catching a familiar scent. He went to the bed and looked at Natalie, making excited noises.
Adrian whispered, "Lucky, be quiet."
Lucky lay down obediently.
Adrian looked at Natalie on the bed. There were red marks on her neck from struggling. Her sleeping face was delicate and peaceful, not showing the usual stubborn yet timid look she had when facing him. He sat by the bed.
He had to admit, he was attracted to Natalie.
He wasn't one to frequent places like the Imperial Nightclub. He was aloof and rarely attended social gatherings. But ever since Natalie started working there, he had attended almost every gathering.
He somewhat hated her, despised her. But he was also drawn to her. Her face would pop into his mind.
He hated seeing her with other men. Whenever she was with Daniel or Jagger, he got mad. He wanted to keep her at his place, where only he could see her every day.
When he saw others bullying her, he felt an urge to kill.
His phone rang. It was Brice.
Brice asked, "Mr. Howard, how should we handle Eugene Scott?"
Eugene was the one who harrassed Natalie.
Adrian said, "Eugene Scott, that name sounds familiar."
Brice replied, "He's the vice president of ZL Corporation."
Adrian sneered. "ZL Corporation, full of dirty dealings. You know what to do."
Brice responded, "I understand, Mr. Howard."
Adrian stayed in the bedroom until 1 AM before heading to the study. But that night, he couldn't sleep. The air had a faint scent of sweet cherry, making him reluctant to leave.
Natalie opened her eyes, feeling an itch in her palm.
She was stunned for a moment.
As her vision cleared, she looked around the unfamiliar place. Suddenly, something clicked in her mind.
She thought, 'Where am I? What happened to the man who bullied me?'
Natalie sat up abruptly, cold sweat covering her back. She looked at her clothes. The ones she wore yesterday were gone, replaced by a white long T-shirt.
Natalie's eyes widened.
Did that bastard really do something to her?
For a moment, Natalie's vision went blank, her mind filled with a blinding light. She couldn't accept it.
Suddenly, a bark snapped her back to reality.
She saw a Samoyed and was momentarily confused.
"Lucky." She looked up, taking in the familiar decor of the bedroom. This was Bayview Villa!
