Instantly, Natalie put down her design notes and said, “I want to go there too!”
“Mr. Shane knew that you would want to be there. Hence, he specifically asked me to pick you up. Let’s go, Madam.” With that, Silas gestured for Natalie to go with him.
“I wanna go too.” Sally hugged his arm.
“This is none of your business. You shouldn’t be there. Be a good girl. Once this is over, I’m sure Mr. Shane will give me some time off. I’ll travel around with you by then, okay?” Silas stroked Sally’s head.
A glint flashed across Sally’s eyes once she heard it. She let go of his arm and said, “You said it yourself. Don’t you dare go back on your word.”
“I won’t, but I’m not sure if Mr. Shane will go back on his. After all, he is my boss. In case he doesn’t give me time off—”
“Don’t worry. I’ll teach him a lesson if he does that. Shane has promised to give you a break after arresting Sean. I’ll make sure that he keeps his promise.” Natalie winked at Sally once she finished.
Sally held Silas’ arm and thanked Natalie. “Nat, we’re counting on you.”
“Just leave it to me.” With that, Natalie departed with Silas and arrived at the airport after half an hour.
In Shane’s lounge, Natalie asked, “Darling, where are they?”
“They’re locked up in the garage at the parking lot. The bodyguards knocked them out earlier on, and they haven’t woken up yet,” Shane said, pointing at the computer screen.
Natalie saw from the screen that Jacqueline and Sean were tied up to separate chairs and their eyes and mouths were covered. They seemed to be unconscious.
“How strange! I mean, they used to show up alternately for many days. Why did they appear together today?” Natalie asked curiously as she sat beside Shane.
Shane rested his chin on his crossed fingers and replied, “I think they surveyed many locations and believed that they found the airport’s security vulnerability and the right timing to escape.”
“I see.” Natalie nodded. However, she still felt that something was off. Unable to pinpoint it, she held her tongue and stared at the security footage. “Huh?”
Shane turned around and asked, “What’s wrong?”
