"Seven! Wait!"
Natalia stopped.
She looked back at Mr. K.
"Anything else?"
Mr. K hesitated for a moment and said, "Recently, the Dragon Club is in trouble. Many people are looking for you in secret. Be careful!"
Natalia was stunned.
After a while, she smiled.
"I see. Thank you."
Mr. K also smiled.
"We're the only two who know the other offline, so I just remind you casually. You're welcome."
Natalia nodded and said nothing more. Then she turned around and left.
In the Rolls-Royce.
Brian was a little shocked when he saw the two say goodbye at the door of the cafe not far away.
He turned his head to look at his boss and cautiously asked, "Boss, are we still going there?"
Looking at the petite figure fading away in the evening light, Archie frowned.
After a while, he said, "No."
Then Brian closed the door again and drove the Rolls-Royce away.
Due to the wrong angle, Natalia didn't see the Rolls-Royce on the other side.
After she got in the car, she received a call from Archie.
The man's voice was a little cold and hoarse. He asked, "Where are you?"
Raising her eyebrows, Natalia looked around at the traffic and asked in a low voice, "I'm in the company. What's wrong?"
The man on the other side paused for a moment.
Somehow, Natalia felt a little uneasy. She looked around again and made sure that there was no familiar face or car. Then she breathed a sigh of relief.
Then she asked, "Are you off duty?"
"Not yet."
"Then... Go back to your work. See you tonight?"
"Okay, see you tonight."
After hanging up the phone, Natalia breathed a long sigh.
Looking at the darkening screen of the phone, she suddenly laughed at herself.
What was she afraid of?
That man was not her real husband.
Even if she had slept with him two times, so what? Even if they had the marriage certificate, so what?
Wasn't he also hiding something from her? Why did she have to be faithful to him?
Natalia tried her best to persuade herself. After a long time, she calmed down a little and finally suppressed the strange uneasiness and guilt.
On the other side, after hanging up the phone, Archie thought of the figure he had just seen at the door of the cafe, and the lie that the woman had casually said on the phone. His eyes were slightly cold.
He sneered and ordered Brian.
"Go and find out who that person was just now."
Needless to say, Brian knew who the "person" he was referring to.
Brian said yes immediately.
In the evening, when Natalia got home, Archie was already at home.
When Natalia entered the room, Mrs. Dottie happened to welcome her. Mrs. Dottie smiled and said, "Mrs. McCarthy has come back. The dinner is ready. Mr. McCarthy is waiting for you in the dining room!"
Natalia nodded and entered the dining room.
In the dining room, Archie sat upright in a white shirt.
His handsome face was meticulous, and the corners of his eyes and brows were rare cold and sharp.
Seeing her come in, he only slightly lifted his eyelids and said nothing.
Natalia keenly sensed that there was something wrong with the atmosphere today. She took a look at Mrs. Dottie. Mrs. Dottie was standing behind Archie and secretly winked at her.
Today, Mr. McCarthy was in a bad mood, so everyone should be cautious!
After sitting down, Natalia smiled and asked, "Have you been busy recently? Are you tired?"
