Leap OF Fate novel Chapter 85

Don’t confuse your guilt with love. Justin squeezed his eyes shut. Was he just feeling guilty? Was the pain he felt in the past five years just guilt? He felt a tear drop from his eyes. Fuck her for confusing him!

He rushed out from his room but no longer saw her.

“Follow her!” he barked to his secretary, who immediately sprung to action.

Serene heaved a sigh of relief when she entered a familiar restaurant and sat on a chair. A server approached her as soon as she settled in. She gave her order from the top of her head while her eyes scanned the place. She caught sight of Joseph, Justin’s secretary from her peripheral vision.

“Can I also have the bill?” She gave a polite smile to the server and continued to search the restaurant for a familiar face. When she finally found the person she was looking for, she gave her a wink. She and Susie locked eyes and exchanged a knowing look with each other.

Susie approached her table and gave her the bill. She checked it and wrote on the receipt “I’m being followed”. She took her card and went back to the till. After a while, Susie approached her again and returned her card. She said her thanks and gave her a copy of the receipt before turning around and going back to the cash register.

Serene casually looked at the piece of paper and read the instructions written on it. When she finished reading, she stuffed it in her pocket and ate in peace. After finishing eating, she stood up and went to the washroom.

Shortly after she went in, a server also entered. A few minutes after, Serene got out of the washroom in a server’s uniform and went into the kitchen. Outside the kitchen, an Ellis Inc delivery truck waited for her.

Only when she was inside the truck did she release the breath she was holding. The driver carried on with their usual delivery stops. She got off when they delivered to a restaurant close to the hotel she stayed. From there, she waited for a car to pick her up again from the kitchen exit to bring her back to the hotel.

Meanwhile, Joseph and the men he brought with him, hung around the restaurant for almost an hour from the time Serene went to the washroom. One of them took the courage to enter it, only to find out that she’s no longer inside.
