Chapter 22: Damn It! Why Now?
Noah watched Matthew as that man chatted with Diana Kurt outside the car. He was curious about their conversation.
He wanted to know what she wanted, but Matthew asked him to get in the car first. He promised to take care of her.
Noah didn't know what Matthew had told Diana. However, looking at her terrified expression, he knew that whatever Matthew said to her was not soft and kind words.
Moments later, he watched Diana hurry toward the road to hail a taxi, not looking back as if someone were trying to take her life.
"Matthew, thanks for handling her," Noah said after Matthew finally got into the car and sat beside the driver.
Matthew smiled while glancing at the back row to see Noah. "No need to thank me, Sir. That's my job to handle such a thing..."
"By the way, what did you say to her?" Noah asked with curiosity.
"Nothing much; I just mentioned that if she shows up again and starts talking about you and the company, she might find herself lonely and wary in jail for quite a while. We're committed to addressing all the offenses we know about her."
"Ah, I see..." Noah briefly commented. Now he understands why Diana ran for her life.
Noah no longer asked Matthew anything. He was lost in deep thought, staring at the scenery outside. However, his cell phone vibrated shortly after, and Edgar's name appeared on the screen.
"Edgar, you called at the right time..." He greeted him, eager to learn about Ryan White's situation.
