Sally looked over at Natalie.
Natalie nodded in response.
Only then did Sally say, “All right, Ms. Cohen.”
“Just call me Lina,” she replied as she patted Sally on the shoulder.
Sally noticed that Lina was nothing like the other famous designers she knew. She did not look down on people. On the contrary, Lina was very friendly and, most importantly, she was very fond of Sally.
Because of this, Sally gradually loosened up. With a heavy nod, she answered, “Okay, Lina.”
Seeing the two get along, Natalie smiled. “Okay, you two. Let’s get going. We shouldn’t dilly dally here.”
“Yes, let’s go,” Lina agreed.
The three of them exited the airport and headed to the parking lot.
As soon as they entered the elevator, two hidden figures stepped out from the lounge on the second floor. They stood by the railings and stared down at the three women who were walking away.
“Are we still not allowed to leave this city?” asked the petite woman in frustration.
The taller man beside her narrowed his eyes. “Shane has blocked off all exits. Plus, he has the governor’s support. There’s no way for us to leave.”
“I don’t want to be here anymore. People search for us high and low every day. We are nothing more than mice scurrying on the street. I am tired of living like this. If this goes on, we will eventually get caught. We need to get out of here as soon as possible.” Jacqueline pounded her fist on the railing.
Sean snorted coldly. “Do you think I’m staying here by choice?”
“Aren’t you? After all, Natalie is here,” Jacqueline replied mockingly.
Hearing this, Sean shot her a glare.
Jacqueline instantly realized that she had angered him. With her head lowered, she muttered reluctantly, “Sorry.”
“You should be glad you didn’t say much. Otherwise, I might have flung you off this floor,” Sean said flatly. After that, he turned to head back to the lounge.
