A Cue for Love novel Chapter 986

Chapter 986 A Good Option

Upon hearing that, Natalie was stunned for a moment. However, she wasn’t surprised.

If it weren’t for the dim lighting in the escape room earlier, Jerome would have likely noticed the condition of her lips ages ago.

Despite her having braced herself for questions, her heart still lurched at the man’s intense stare and query.

“Natalie, how exactly… did you get the bruise on your lips?”

“After parting ways with you, I tripped and stumbled because it was too dark in the escape room. My teeth hit my lips, causing some bleeding, so it’s now slightly swollen,” Natalie explained in feigned nonchalance.

Nodding, Jerome grumbled, “Escape room wasn’t as fun as I imagined. We can’t really see in there. I’ll bring you someplace else to have fun in the future.”

“Sure, sure!”

After Natalie and Jerome had successfully cleared the level, they didn’t pose in their costumes like the other players.

Instead, they went to the changing room to change.

Jerome went into the men’s changing room.

Natalie, on the other hand, went to the information counter before entering the women’s changing room. “I lost my purse. Can you please show me your establishment’s surveillance footage?” she asked.

Recalling the man’s warning, the employee chuckled sheepishly. “I’m sorry, but it so happens that the surveillance cameras in our establishment malfunctioned today. As such, I can’t show you the surveillance footage. How about we help you find your purse in a while? Or how much money did you have in it? If all else fails, we can negotiate and compensate you.”

Before coming over to make inquiries, Natalie had reckoned that such would be the answer.

Smiling, she shook her head. “Forget it. There’s no need to go to such trouble. I didn’t have much money in my purse.”

“All right, then.”
