As though he could see my doubts, Alex continued, "I believe you have more questions now than before you came. Why don’t we have a chat later?"
He made a gesture to invite me to take a seat. I looked at the folder in my hand and knew that he was approaching me with ill intentions.
Even if I walked away today, he would still find me again. Besides, he was the only person who knew Munchkin's whereabouts now. After thinking about it, I sat back down at the table.
After sitting down, I used the agreement he gave me as a shield and secretly took out my phone to send Theo a text, but the signal on top of the screen kept spinning.
Was there no signal on such high grounds? What was going on?
"By the way, Mrs. Grant, I don't like being interrupted, so I deliberately asked them to block off all cell signals before coming. You may only be able to contact the outside world after our discussion. I hope you don’t mind that I take a few minutes of your time."
I put my phone down angrily. He was doing it on purpose.
"Don’t worry, Mrs. Grant. I won’t hurt you.”
I took a deep breath. Since I was already here, I felt a need to make things clear and must not act on impulse.
I tossed the agreement on the table and did not even bother to look at it. Reading it would only make me angrier.
When the time was up later, I would like to hear what sort of excuses he would give. How dare he ask me to give him Munchkin's custody?
20 minutes felt like 20 hours. When I finally saw the clock pointing to number two, the other party slowly spoke.
