Chapter 233: The meeting with Nathan (Part 1)
Anne slipped into the elegant dress Augustine had arranged for her before leaving the office through the private elevator. The moment the doors slid open in the parking area, she spotted Sam already waiting beside the car, his posture straight and his expression unreadable as always.
He opened the rear door for her. She nodded in thanks and stepped in.
Sam got behind the wheel and started the engine, pulling the car smoothly out of the parking lot.
Curiosity tugged at Anne. She couldn’t stop wondering who this mysterious luncheon was with. The secrecy had been eating at her since morning.
"Do you know who Augustine is meeting with?" she asked, trying to sound casual as she met Sam’s gaze in the rearview mirror.
"I’m just the bodyguard, ma’am. I don’t ask questions I’m not meant to."
"Fine." Anne exhaled in mild frustration and leaned back into the seat, folding her arms as she turned to stare out the window. "I’ll find out soon enough."
The ride was quiet. Minutes later, the car glided to a stop in front of a grand, upscale restaurant.
Sam stepped out swiftly and came around to open her door. Anne got out, her eyes scanning the opulent exterior of the building before entering.
The cool air of the restaurant embraced her as she walked in. At the reception, Gustave was already waiting. He offered a polite nod. "Good afternoon, Ma’am. Sir is waiting for you. Please come with me."
Anne followed him down a corridor toward a secluded private room. The moment she crossed the threshold, she froze.
