Secret Arrangement
I froze and clenched my teeth, inwardly cursing. I turned to see Ste, who had juste out with me. I
could just tear her apart with my gaze.
“Why are you leaving so soon?” She seemed to have seen through my intentions. She strolled toward
me 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 half
truthfully, “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 me
uneasy, but I couldn’t afford to lose myposure. I had to maintain my dominance, even just for
appearances.
“Quick, speak up. I can’t stay long.” I didn’t hide my impatience. After all, five minutes had already
passed
since I saw Atticus.
I never realized how short forty minutes could be. Every wasted minute meant I would have less time
with As. 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 and
headed for the elevator, leaving Ste behind. I deliberately raised my voice, “Don’t worry, I’ll be there
soon!”
Carol’s voice sounded on the other end of the call, “Ms. Chloe, it’s me. I saw Ste 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 Ste might
follow me, so I nced toward her, but she hadn’t moved a step.
Once inside the elevator, I told Carol, “You’re my lucky star. Watch Ste and try to stall her. Buy me
some
time, okay? I need to leave for a while.”
“Understood!”
quickly headed outside once I reached the ground floor. I would see As soon as long as I got into the
car. As expected, I saw a ck sedan under the steps when I exited the gate. I ran down the stairs and
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 talk
either. 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 nced 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 premisester,” the driver
Instructed.
It seemed Nick used the party to make Ste attend while having a doctor conduct an examination at
Pleca Park and sneak me in. Pleca Park also appeared unsafe, with people likely working for Celine
inside.
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 in
nning, even providing a small hair clip for me. I reluctantly adjusted the hat and put on a medical
mask.
I looked at my reflection in the car window and realized I couldn’t recognize myself. When I finished
changing, the car reached a private road. I saw another car parked at a bend in the road. The driver
stopped 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 simr to the
ce
I had used to evade pursuit two days ago.
“You’ll get into that car. Mr. As’s doctor is inside. Follow him, and don’t say much,” the driver
instructed.
I nodded and nervously exited the car to enter the other one.
