Chapter 1265
The trio got into the car, and Nicole proceeded to drive off to her hotel. However, she did not anticipate that the person who was hiding outside of their base to immediately follow her when he saw her leaving.
Nicole did not tell Kelly and Harvey about her stalker, as she did not know about it. After driving for some time, it dawned upon her that a car had been following her for a while now. Then, she smiled and slammed the brakes, halting the car in front of a mall.
Harvey saw that it was not their hotel, and so, he asked, "This is the mall. Why did you stop here?"
"Bring Kelly along and buy me something here. I want to bring something back for my grandma." Nicole said, making an excuse up.
"And you're not coming along to buy something for her?" Harvey looked at her with his brows furrowed.
"I've ordered something, and it just got delivered, so I've got to retrieve it. Just get off," Nicole urged as she glanced over to the car that was following behind her.
"We can pick your order up with you and get a gift for your grandmother later," Harvey said, starting to argue with her.
Hearing this, Nicole lost her patience and glared at him. "Are you going or not?"
Seeing that Nicole was angry, Harvey acquiesced, "Fine. Just remember to pick us up once you're done, okay?"
"Just get off." Nicole rolled her eyes at him.
Harvey and Kelly closed the door, whereupon Nicole zoomed away.
Harvey watched as the car sped off into the distance and decried her, "Did you see that, Kelly? She left just like that!"
"Harvey, let's just get the souvenirs. Miss Riddle will definitely give you another round of lectures when she comes back if she sees that you haven't gotten her anything," Kelly replied.
After having spent so much time with Harvey these days, Kelly knew him a lot better now. She knew that he was soft-hearted, in spite of his propensity for snide words.
"Why would I be the one getting a lecture? Wouldn't you be empty handed yourself?" Harvey looked at Kelly who was walking into the mall.
Nicole parked her car at a random spot in the basement of a hotel and entered the building after getting down from her car. The car behind her was parked somewhere close by as well. It was then that the man eyed the hotel, and proceeded to follow her in.
Nicole deliberately concealed herself at one of the corners in the hall before she continued walking, as the stalker advanced upon discovering that she had disappeared into the premises.
The second he reached the entrance, he saw Nicole making her way to the end of the hallway before turning right. He ran after her at once, but was quickly left confused. There were plenty of rooms, and he had not managed to see which room Nicole had gotten into, so he could only sneak over and try his luck with each one.
When he reached the first door, he placed his ear against it. After having not heard anything for some time, he moved on to the next one and did the same thing. However, the next was thrown open the minute he leaned against it, whereupon an arm with a powerful grip reeled him in.
"Why are you following me?” Nicole grabbed his neck and pinned him against the wall.
