Chapter 318 Secret Arrangement
I froze and clenched my teeth, inwardly cursing. I turned to see Stella, who had just come out with me. Icould just tear her apart with my gaze.
“Why are you leaving so soon?” She seemed to have seen through my intentions. She strolled towardme and scrutinized me with an intentional air of confrontation. I realized how much she loved trouble.
She asked, “What’s the rush? Why are you so frantic and disoriented?”
“You seem quite attentive to notice such a thing.” I feigned shock. Still, I steadied myself and said halftruthfully, “Yeah, I’m in a rush. What’s wrong? Do you need something?”
The more anxious I became, the more she squinted at me. The sinister glint in her gaze made meuneasy, but I couldn’t afford to lose my composure. I had to maintain my dominance, even just forappearances.
“Quick, speak up. I can’t stay long.” I didn’t hide my impatience. After all, five minutes had alreadypassed
since I saw Atticus.
I never realized how short forty minutes could be. Every wasted minute meant I would have less time
with Atlas. It was like getting my heart ripped out.
Suddenly, my phone rang, and I sighed in relief at this golden opportunity. I answered the call andheaded for the elevator, leaving Stella behind. I deliberately raised my voice, “Don’t worry, I’ll be theresoon!”
Carol’s voice sounded on the other end of the call, “Ms. Chloe, it’s me. I saw Stella following you out,and
I was worried she might trouble you.”
“All right, I got it. Well done,” I said while pressing the elevator’s down button. I feared Stella mightfollow me, so I glanced toward her, but she hadn’t moved a step.
Once inside the elevator, I told Carol, “You’re my lucky star. Watch Stella and try to stall her. Buy mesome
time, okay? I need to leave for a while.”
“Understood!”
quickly headed outside once I reached the ground floor. I would see Atlas soon as long as I got into the
car. As expected, I saw a black sedan under the steps when I exited the gate. I ran down the stairs andnovelbin
opened the car door.
Once inside, I confirmed, “Mr. Nick sent you, right?”
Yes! The driver said nothing more and drove off.
anxiously clenched my fists along the ride, trying to keep calm. The driver didn’t engage in small talkeither. Instead, he simply sped toward Pleca Park. As we approached, the driver instructed me, “Ms.Chloe, some clothes are in the back seat. You need to change into them.”
I glanced back and found a bag on the back seat. I reached for it and pulled out a nurse uniform.
“Hurry up and change. You’ll need to follow the doctor’s car to enter the premises later,” the driver
Instructed.
It seemed Nick used the party to make Stella attend while having a doctor conduct an examination atPleca Park and sneak me in. Pleca Park also appeared unsafe, with people likely working for Celineinside.
Otherwise, Nick would not have gone to such lengths to sneak me in. I knew I had misunderstood him
earlier and felt ashamed.
I didn’t ask further questions and quickly put on the white coat and nurse hat. Nick was meticulous inplanning, even providing a small hair clip for me. I reluctantly adjusted the hat and put on a medicalmask.
I looked at my reflection in the car window and realized I couldn’t recognize myself. When I finishedchanging, the car reached a private road. I saw another car parked at a bend in the road. The driverstopped beside the other car and said, “Ms. Chloe, I’ll wait for you here.”
He pointed to a small fork in the road where the car could hide in the shadows. It was similar to theplace
I had used to evade pursuit two days ago.
“You’ll get into that car. Mr. Atlas’s doctor is inside. Follow him, and don’t say much,” the driverinstructed.
I nodded and nervously exited the car to enter the other one.
