Chapter 73: Threat
"Mrs. Cross, where are you going? The Young Master ordered not to let you out of the suite. You have to wait for him." One of Andrew’s men told her.
She smiled, trying not to show her anxiousness.
"I need some ingredients for the meal I would like to cook for my husband. I want to go to a grocery store." She answered.
Nina didn’t know how she managed not to stammer when talking to his bodyguard. She was also hoping that he wouldn’t notice that her whole body was trembling from fear.
The man stared at her as if he was thinking if he would allow her to leave the building. She gave her sweetest smile to him, staring at him with her hazelnut eyes.
"Okay, Mrs.Cross but me and my men will accompany you." He said.
"I just need two bodyguards near me. The rest should be on standby. I don’t want to attract any attention." She ordered in a firm tone.
She should be awarded best actress for deceiving Andrew’s bodyguards. She thought.
The man agreed and sent a signal to the rest of the team to spread out. She was relieved that she was able to get out of the hotel. The Eiffel tower was just a few blocks away, and she was thinking of a way to run away from her bodyguards.
She saw a group of kids walking in a park. It looked like a parade, and more people were coming towards them to watch. She suddenly rushed to the kids and joined the crowd.
