Chapter 1428
Harvey noticed that Nicole had no intention of waiting for him, and so, he rushed toward the security checkpoint, trying to catch up to her, but was stopped.
’Excuse me sir, but you cant venture past this point without a ticket," the terminal guard said.
"My friend is over there. I just want to talk to her for a minute," Harvey anxiously explained as he glanced over at the direction that Nicole was at.
"I'm sorry, but you can't enter."
Seeing that the security personnel refused would never let him pass, he was left with no choice but to make a run for the counter and purchase a ticket. Unfortunately, he was told that the ticket sales had stopped.
Harvey clenched his fists angrily, wishing to argue with the agent, but he knew that they were just doing their jobs and following the policies laid out by the company.
Harvey then suppressed his anger and asked, ‘In that case, could you help me find out where that plane is going?"
"Okay, just a moment sir/ the agent said, before returning a moment later. ’ Excuse me sir, the plane is headed to Lanningbourg."
’Lanningbourg...?' Harvey frowned while thinking about it.
"What time is the next flight to Lanningbourg?" Harvey asked.
"The next flight to Lanningbourg is an hour from now."
"Okay, thanks."
Harvey then left the ticket counter and went to an empty place to call Martin.
"How's it going? Did you manage to catch up to her?" Martin asked in an inquiring tone of voice.
"I almost caught up to her! She saw me, and that was when she turned around and left. If it was not for the security getting in my way, I would have stopped her," Harvey said in defeat.
"Oh..." Martin uttered, feeling a little disappointed as well.
"However, I was told that Nicole's flight is bound for Lanningbourg. There's another flight in an hour. I'll take this flight to find her/ Harvey divulged, explained his plan to Martin.
"Since she didn't want you around her, I don't think it'll be necessary for you to follow her there. She must have her reasons. If you follow her there, you might ruin her plans," Martin replied.
Harvey hesitated after hearing Martin's comprehensive consideration of the current situation.
Harvey then sat down, and carefully, he began to recall the scene when he saw Nicole earlier. 'Nicole had taken me to Lanningbourg before. Earlier, she pretended as though she did not know me. Why did she do that? Was someone tailing her? Was she afraid that she'll get me into trouble?'
After some careful consideration, he decided not to follow Nicole to Lanningbourg. 'If Nicole needed my help, she would definitely have contacted me. What Martin said was right. If I rush over to find her, I might cause her unexpected trouble.'
After his impulsive thoughts had tapered off, Harvey regained his composure and watched as the plane took off.
'Although I don't know what you are going to do. I hope you come back safely, Nicole,' Harvey said in his heart before walking out the airport in big strides.
Then, he returned to his office.
