Female Novel
Chapter 834
Neera arrived at the office at the crack of dawn.
Her right eyelid twitches for some reason.
She assumed it was because she didn't get enough sleep. So she drank a cup of coffee to refuel herself and didn'tthink much of it.
In the afternoon, Adriana's old friend, who rarely visits Essley, came to the office looking for her and invited herto play golf.
Unfortunately, Adriana was away.
Noticing his disappointment, Neera grinned and offered, "Aunt Adriana isn't around, but her niece is available tokeep you entertained. Though I'm not sure if you'd be interested in spending time with me."
That man immediately laughed heartily. He nodded appreciatively and asked, "Why not? We're going to have agood time, young lady!"
"My skills aren't as good as Aunt Adriana's, so don't laugh at me," Neera said modestly.
The group then went to the golf course.
Naturally, Neil had to accompany her as her assistant, while Zephyr as chauffeur.
They played golf for the entire afternoon and had a great time.
He lavished praise on Neera and invited her to dinner.
Neera, on the other hand, politely declined, "I'm sorry, Aunt Adriana isn't here and I should be hosting you, butmy children are waiting for me at home. I'll invite you to dinner next time."
He was easy-going and didn't bother with this.
He smiled as he remembered meeting Neera's kids before and said, "I haven't seen those quirky little ones in along time. You must bring them out next time."
Neera agreed with a smile and a nod.
Both parties then went their separate ways.
"I just finished golfing and am going home now," Neera said as soon as she got into her car. "Are you and the kidsat home?"
"Yeah, I'm home," he replied, his voice gentle as ever. Come home; I'll be waiting."
"Okay."
His assurance that he would be waiting for her brought a smile to Neera's face.
This golf course was situated in a very isolated location. It was a long way back to the city. There were fewpeople on the road.
It was already dusk. Only a few cars were passing by.
Zephyr kept a steady pace. Neera sat in the back, exhausted from her workout. She leaned back against thebackrest and almost dozed off.
Zephyr slammed on the brakes without warning.
This spooked Neera. She lurched forward, almost colliding with the back of the front seat.
Her drowsiness vanished instantly, and she inquired, "What happened?"
Zephyr's eyes were ice cold. As he stared icily ahead, the air around him grew gloomy.
The road was suddenly blocked by a group of black sedans that seemed to appear out of nowhere.
When the vehicle came to a stop, several men in black exited, and all of them were carrying firearms.
Neil had never encountered a situation like this before. He became terrified and began to shiver.
"Are...are they coming for us?"
Neera's face turned pale. She, too, was terrified.
She last saw a gun when she was chasing down Thora in the bar. Only John possessed a firearm at the time.
There were a lot of people here now. The danger was at a whole new level.
Zephyr's face was hauntingly solemn. He gripped the steering wheel more tightly.
"Hang on tight!" he reminded them coldly.
He shifted gears, pressed the pedal, and put the car in reverse in one swift motion.
Those guys weren't expecting that quick turn of events.
They drew their weapons and began firing at the vehicle the instant they responded.
Zephyr's eyes were glinting with a cold light. He shouted, "Take cover!" novelbin
Neil and Neera's expressions changed dramatically.
Fortunately, they reacted quickly, bending down and crouched in terror.
Neil, hiding under the passenger seat, asked fearfully, "Who are these people? What gives them such nerve?"
Zephyr kept his eyes on the road and never looked away, but he still responded in a critical situation.
"I don't know. Just stay down and don't get up!"
Those men, on the other hand, had begun chasing them in their cars.
Zephyr checked his rearview mirror. He took a sharp turn around a corner.
After his execution of brilliant drifting technique, their car had sped off in the opposite direction.
