Chapter 485
Pushing himself up on his good leg, he left his seat and limped after Natalie to the
bathroom, his mind reeling with eagerness. He could almost taste his revenge.
As she walked, Natalie became aware of a tall, slender person following close behind. She
cast a wary eye behind her but saw nothing out of the ordinary.
“How may I assist you, Miss?”
With a smile, the steward inquired.
This female I Passenger’s apprehensive gaze puzzled him.
“It’s just… I mistook you for someone else. I apologize.”
Natalie managed a smile and was full of remorse.
What had caused her sudden paranoia? Perhaps her oversensitivity sprang from her
apprehension of going to the Iridescent Show.
Natalie shook her head and then entered the bathroom.
As soon as the lavatory door was shut, the steward bent down to pour water for a
passenger, blocking Jorge’s path!
“Sir, how may I be of service to you?”
The steward got to his feet and smiled at Jorge as he did at everyone else.
Jorge was one step behind Natalie and was unable to catch up. His mood was already
terrible, and the steward in front of him just served to irritate him further.
Why was the steward even here? “You can’t help me,” Jorge replied angrily and lowered
the brim of his cap. He missed his chance to poison Natalie and so had to return to his
seat.
Natalie still sensed a problem even after washing her hands in the restroom. She gave the
man standing behind her some serious thought…
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWas he somewhat like Jorge? She only knew Jorge from a few brief encounters with him, so
she did not consider herself to be really familiar with him. She could only recall that he
was way too slender and preferred to hide his weakness by donning baggy clothing.
On the other hand, neither Brandon nor the authorities had updated Natalie on Jorge’s
status since the man went missing.
Everybody in town was trying to find Jorge.
It was rather brazen of him to approach her in such a direct manner. She must have been
pipe-dreaming! This made Natalie feel somewhat better. She unlocked the door and
proceeded to her seat. Her phone rang at this precise moment.
It was Brandon calling.
She answered with a charming grin.
“Brandon, why are you contacting me at this hour? Let’s have a nice chat when I get to
Northcliffe. The aircraft is about to take off.”
The anxiety in Brandon’s voice was as pronounced as ever before!
“Get off the airplane now, Natalie!”
What exactly was Brandon trying to get at? Natalie was confused as to why Brandon had
lost his cool and didn’t want her to attend the show.
And he even demanded that she leave the aircraft immediately.
This was just hard to put together.
“What are you trying to pull over on me? The broadcast instructed me to shut down my
phone. I’ll give you a ring when I get there.”
Natalie wished she could go back to her seat immediately. She didn’t want to bother the
busy flight attendants.
“I can’t afford a joke at the moment! You’re in a race against the clock. I asked Sean to get
in touch with the airport security for this airline. You need to exit the aircraft immediately.
I’ll be waiting at the gate.”
Brandon stated with seriousness and harshness.
Natalie burst out laughing. It was unlikely that she would fall for Brandon’s ploys. It was
clear he had a change of heart and now didn’t want her to accompany Draco on the
business trip.
And he just tried to trick her out of the plane! Due to his tone, Natalie almost felt
compelled to believe that there were real threats on board. She walked to her seat while
still on the phone with Brandon. She didn’t want to listen to Brandon’s nonsense longer, so
she consoled him in a low voice, “Well, I really have to go. As soon as I get to my
destination, it will give you a call.”
Natalie was ready to hang up when Brandon’s voice grew louder.
“Don’t hang up the phone! Just hear me out! Jorge has also boarded the aircraft!”
“What?”
Natalie’s jaw dropped and her eyes widened in disbelief! For two seconds, she was
astonished and couldn’t help but search around for Jorge.
A man wearing a baseball cap was approaching her through the narrow passageway at
this moment.
Natalie just caught a glimpse of the man’s face, which was mostly covered by his baseball
cap.
However, she was frightened by his evil smile under the brim of his cap.
Natalie’s heart skipped a beat. But she wasn’t sure if it was him.
The man in front of her was wearing a baseball cap and his face was almost completely
covered in shadow.
As the man approached her, Natalie suddenly sensed danger. She turned around and tried
to escape.
In the process, she accidentally bumped into the flight attendant serving the passengers
behind her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNatalie and the flight attendant both fell to the ground.
Natalie’s phone slipped out of her hand and onto the floor, sliding a few meters away from
her down the aisle. She could still just barely make out Brandon’s voice on the other end
of the phone, though at that distance, it had become extremely fuzzy.
The stewardess grimaced in pain.
“Miss, the plane is about to take off. Please take your seat immediately.”
“Danger!” Natalie cried.
Everyone needs to get off the plane!”
The stewardess confusedly gasped, “What?”
Natalie had no time to explain. She turned to look up at the man who had now almost
caught up with her.
Jorge looked terrifying. He held one hand behind his back and seemed to be grasping
something tightly.
Natalie’s lips trembled.
Just as she thought the man in front of her was about to pounce, a pair of hands grabbed
onto her shoulders and helped her up from the ground.
Natalie gasped, “Mr. Wesley?”
The man in front of Natalie was Draco.
“You don’t look good. What’s wrong with you, Natalie?”
Noticing that Natalie had a strange expression on her face on her way out of planned to
ask her what was wrong when she returned to her seat.
However, before she could get to him, Natalie had fallen to the ground in horror, along
with the flight attendant.
Worried, Draco had stood up from his seat and strode over to help Natalie up.
“Mr. Wesley! Watch your back!”
Even as Natalie was speaking, the man in the cap had reached Draco from behind.
