No Escape from Love novel Chapter 134

Alex turned and walked away, leaving me feeling a bit helpless. "Forget it. Sometimes, you just have to swallow your pride to get by."

I hurried after him as he headed back toward the banquet hall. But he was walking so fast like he had wheels under his feet that I could barely keep up. I quickened my pace, determined to catch him before he went upstairs.

Suddenly, a figure entered my sight.

It was Mia.

She was holding her phone and looking flustered as she rushed toward the garden.

I frowned slightly as I weighed my options.

Between comforting Alex and tracking down the mole, the latter was obviously more important. So, I turned around and followed Mia.

"Yes, Mr. Hastings brought Serena with him," she said into her phone.

"Who's Lucas? I didn't see him. No, this won't work. Mr. Hastings is probably already suspicious of me."

Hiding behind a rockery, Mia had no idea I was eavesdropping nearby. I slipped off my heels in one hand and reached for my phone with the other, planning to record the conversation. If I had solid evidence, it'd be easier to discuss with Alex how to deal with her later.

Just as I brought my phone closer, it suddenly started ringing.

The noise made Mia go completely silent. I scrambled to silence my phone and saw that the caller was Alex.

I hung up immediately in a panic. But when I peeked out again, Mia was already gone.

"Are you looking for me?"

A voice suddenly came from behind me, startling me so much that I spun around.
