Chapter 1815 The Note

I didn’t really know how to explain the situation, so I handed the phone back to Emery instead. After that,

I said, “It’s a long story, but I’ll need to return all the items we bought earlier.”

“There’s no need to be in such a hurry. Shopping is supposed to be a relaxing event, and if we rush over

like that, the entire experience won’t be relaxing,” replied Emery. Her words were calm and philosophical,

and she looked graceful when she sipped some coffee.

The way she acted made it impossible for the burning rage inside me to survive. In a way, I had no

choice but to follow her suit and enjoyed the exquisite coffee.

Just then, a couple of rich men’s wives entered the cafe. One of the more observant wives saw Emery

and me sitting at our table, which was out in the open. The observant wife came over to say, “Hi, Ms.

Moore and Mrs… Ah, sorry, I mean, Ms. Stovall. What a coincidence. Do you both like this cafe as well?”

Emery was practically a professional when it came to small talks. She grinned and replied, “Yeah, this

place is quite nice, and the environment is great.”

One of the cafe’s main attractions was its serene environment and silent ambiance.

Most could tell that Emery had no intention of sharing the table with anyone.

Unfortunately, the woman who greeted us was socially blind. She walked to the seat beside Emery and

sat right down. To make matters worse, the former showed no hesitance when she said, “Please move

further in, Ms. Moore. We have too many people here.”

Emery’s expression took a sharp change, and she looked infuriated. Still, she was forced into the

innermost part and couldn’t even stretch her legs.

I suffered the same fate as she did.

With ladies squeezing in from both sides, it was impossible for me to even catch a breath. Emery and I

turned to one another, and I imagined I looked just as hopeless as she did at that moment.

We were signaling to each other and were about to sneak away when someone gently nudged my right

foot.

I instinctively shifted my gaze over and realized that the woman sitting on my right had put her hand over.

She had a note with her at the time. The second she realized that she had gotten my attention, she

dropped the note onto my skirt.

While all that was playing out under the table, the mysterious woman leaned in as though everything was

fine. She acted like she had been paying close attention to the gossip shared.

I didn’t bother analyzing anything and was quick to hold that note in my palm. After that, I stood up and

shouted, “Enough! Goodness, you people are noisy. Move aside, I’m leaving.”

Emery turned to me and stared as though she was looking at an angel from heaven. Her eyes shone

with appreciation and respect as she stood up soon after and helped me. “You heard her. Get the hell out

of here, you socially blind idiots!”

Our outbursts frightened the others and forced them to make way for us.

We left the cafe right then. Following the restroom signage above my head, I then dragged Emery with

me.

The first thing I did was to check every stall and make sure that no one else was inside. Only then did I

reveal the note to Emery.

“Where did you get that from?” asked Emery nervously as she stopped fixing her makeup.

I answered honestly. “It’s from one of the ladies who barged in.”

“Ah, everything makes sense now. I was wondering how a rich woman from K City could be that socially

blind. It turns out that it’s all just part of their plan,” murmured Emery. “Go on. Read the note.”

I unfolded the note to read the content. “Map received. The analysis is in progress. Call the following

number if an emergency occurs.”

The map was a huge clue, and I could more or less guess who the note was from. “Benson sent them.”

“Benson? As in Alexander’s brother?” asked Emery.

I nodded and replied, “Yeah. Nathaniel brought me to an island once, and that island is where he

manufactures all of his products. I memorized the general location and had Alexander share the location

with Benson.”

Emery nodded without saying anything else.

The situation had me thinking for a while and prompted me to say, “Emery, borrow me your phone.

Nathaniel’s bank account might contain some information that could help Benson with his investigation.

I’ll send him a photo of the card Nathaniel gave me.”

I did all that and memorized the emergency number before flushing the note down the toilet. After that,

Emery and I left the restroom as though everything was fine.

We didn’t want to raise any suspicion, so we browsed another mall and made some small talks with

some friends before we headed home.

Emery didn’t stay after dropping me off. She claimed that Summer was asking for her, so I didn’t make

Emery stay, either.
