Chapter 690 Setting a Trap
Natalie peeked at the clock; it was already 9:30 AM. She rolled out of bed and shuffled out.
Adrian was not around; he must've already bounced.
He just got back yesterday and had to hit up the Howard Group for some work stuff.
In the kitchen, Natalie spotted a sticky note slapped on the fridge.
Adrian's handwriting was as no-nonsense as he was.
[Made some sandwiches. Milk's ready.]
Natalie scarfed down breakfast, snagged the sticky note, and tucked it into her notebook.
Heather called. "Natalie, Karen's hunting for you."
Natalie said, "Tell her to swing by the apartment."
Heather replied, "Got it."
Natalie knew exactly why Karen was in such a rush to find her.
About half an hour later, the doorbell buzzed. Natalie strolled over and opened up.
Karen stood at the door, eyeing Natalie in her PJs, looking like she just rolled out of bed, with hickeys on her neck hinting at last night's fun.
Karen's eyebrow twitched as she asked, "Can I come in?"
Natalie turned around. "Yeah, come on in."
Karen plopped down in the living room, and Natalie brought over a glass of water. Karen took it but felt something poking her back. She stood up and saw it was a man's watch, a high-end Patek Philippe. Karen knew this watch; it was worth a cool $3.7 million. There were less than ten of these bad boys in the whole country.
Karen carefully set the watch on the table. "Natalie, I came to check on your progress."
Natalie shrugged. "Chill, it's not audit time yet, right?"
Karen said, "It's coming up, like next week."
Natalie smirked. "Sometimes you win overnight."
Karen was a bit jittery compared to Natalie's chill vibe. "Natalie, just give me a solid timeline."
Natalie looked at her. "I chatted with Finnian a few days ago; we'll have an answer by the weekend."
"Finnian?" Karen said, "You hit up Mr. Harrington?"
Natalie nodded. "Finnian's worth teaming up with, and I dig talking to smart folks. Karen, let's wait till after the weekend for the results."
Karen asked, "What do you need me to do?"
A spark lit up in Natalie's eyes. "Just act all anxious and jumpy at the company."
Karen got it instantly. She just needed to look all stressed and impatient in front of Mindy. That way, Mindy would think Karen was out of the game and losing it.
Karen stood up. "I know what to do."
Saturday at Imperial Nightclub. Natalie got a call from Finnian. "They're here."
Finnian had somehow wrangled Lucas and Herman to show up. Right now, the two were already in the private room.
Besides those two, there were a few others, and Finnian had called in a couple of good waiteresses to pour drinks.
Finnian asked for the next move, "Ms. Teeger, what's the plan?"
Natalie pursed her lips. "I'll head to the private room. Five minutes later, go to room 606 and find Adrian, and tell him Lucas is trying to rape me."
"What?" Finnian was floored. He wasn't just shocked by Natalie's plan, but also by the name, Adrian.
There was only one Adrian in Vachilit, the heir to the Howard Group, the big boss of Dynamic Entertainment.
The money behind Natalie was actually Adrian.
