Chapter 139 Kendrick's Surgery Has Started
"The door is locked." A young and clear voice said, "Please wait a minute. Don't be nervous."
"Help me." Natalie pleaded with a trembling voice, "Please don't go."
"I'm not leaving. I'll go fetch a tool to break open the lock."
It soon got quiet outside.
Had he left?
Natalie got desperate.
Twenty minutes later, she heard someone breaking the lock.
The man didn't lie. He came back.
The door was opened.
The light outside was dazzling. After Natalie got used to the light, she saw the man standing before her.
He was gangly, around 5.9 feet tall. He waved a little hammer and said, "It took me a while to look for this."
"I thought you left."
"No." He chuckled with amusement. "How could I leave after I promised to help you?"
Natalie raised her face and said gratefully, "Thank you!"
The man was startled when he saw her face. After a good while, he managed to say, "Are you Natalie?"
Natalie was surprised.
She looked at his face closely. He was handsome and looked a bit childish. She guessed he was her age.
But who was he?
Was he a friend of the host?
Natalie couldn't remember him at all.
"Don't you recognize me?" The boy said in surprise, "I'm Saul Williamson from the astronomy club at university. We used to work on the same stargazing project."
Natalie coughed and said, "I'm sorry. I feel cold."
Saul sensed the temperature behind her and asked with a frown, "Is the air conditioning on?
"Yes."
"Come to the radiator and warm up." Saul directly held Natalie's arm and took her to a place with the radiator, making her sit down. "I'll fetch a glass of hot water for you."
After a while, Saul came back with a glass of hot water and handed it to Natalie. He sat next to her and said, "I was drawing downstairs. When I heard you shouting for help, I came up to take a look. How did you get locked inside?"
"Someone did it on purpose."
"Who is it?"
"I don't know for the time being." Natalie gritted her teeth and struck the table with her palm. "If I know who it is, I'll splash cold water all over her and lock her up to enjoy the air-conditioning for a whole night."
The hot water in the glass spilled out when she slapped the table.
Saul edged away from her.
He asked hesitantly, "Did you offend anyone in the company?"
Natalie said, "Well, I offended too many people, so I don't know who did it for the moment."
Saul was speechless.
"I'm in Industrial Design Department, responsible for designing new energy vehicles." Saul majored in Industrial Design at university and joined the Ramsey Group upon graduation.
Natalie took a sip of the hot water and said, "I'm in Fashion Marketing Department."
She didn't know anything about the man before her at all. Since he was a schoolmate of the host, she had to be cautious not to expose her secret.
Saul asked again, "By the way, do you remember..."
"Saul..." Natalie suddenly said, "I got sick at university." She pointed at her head and continued, "I lost some memories, so I don't quite remember the past."
Saul was taken aback. He said ruefully, "I'm sorry."
