A Cue for Love novel Chapter 588

Chapter 588 Busted By Samuel

“This is extremely dangerous, Effie, so pretend you’ve never heard anything that we said and don’t get yourself involved,” Natalie cautioned. “I’m your superior, so this is a direct order that you are to comply with without question.”

“Understood.” Effie remained worried for Natalie. “But what about you, Boss?”

Seeing Effie getting her own brow in a knot out of concern for her, Natalie’s lips lifted into a grin. “I’ll try to be careful.”

Natalie departed from the Major Crimes Unit with a lot on her mind, for it was not as though she had not thought about the things Effie mentioned before.

Back in the warehouse, Natalie had seen Melissa gunned down by Joshua with her own eyes. Hence, her intention for wanting Gerald to covertly conduct an autopsy on Melissa was to ascertain the truth.

With the outcome of the autopsy inconclusive, the only thing that was certain was that the person behind all of this was even more well-hidden and dangerous than she had anticipated.

Now, the plot had thickened to the point that she was not even sure why she herself became a target for the mastermind.

But seeing how her counterpart enjoyed playing hide and seek and being as well concealed as he was, she did not mind putting in the work to ferret him out.

Natalie headed home after she had the blood sample sent to the research center over at Dream. She did not have much of an appetite by that time as she was still bogged down by ruminations about the whole affair.

Taking a shower did not help clear her mind either, thus Natalie went out to the balcony to catch some air in the hope that it might help her calm down.

The night breeze brought down Natalie’s body temperature and at the same time, helped settle her emotions somewhat.

So lost in thought, she did not even notice Samuel pushing his way through the door.

“What are you doing, sitting here in the cold all by yourself?” The man’s voice coming from behind her contained at least three parts of annoyance.

Natalie turned to the sight of Samuel’s deep-set phoenix eyes.

“Oh, didn’t you say that you won’t be back before ten? It’s only nine right now…” Natalie had a look of sheepishness about her as she spoke in a small voice.

 

Samuel’s brows wound up in a furrow. “It should have been ten, but I drove a little faster than usual because I wanted to get home earlier. Was I to return as scheduled, would you have stayed out here, exposing yourself to the elements like this until then?”
