Chapter 9: Going To Look For Justin
Natalie returned to Mia's home, her clothes and hair drenched.
"My god, Nat, what happened?" Mia exclaimed to see Natalie like this. "Did they bully you?"
Natalie entered the home, shaking her head. "Bully me? They can dream on," she hung the car key on the hook before walking to her room. As she changed into a fresh pair of clothes, she explained everything to Mia, who had followed her inside and settled into a chair.
"You did well." Mia's voice was full of admiration. "Now you can work for me, right? You ditched your friend to work for that jerk Ivan, but now you have to work for me."
Though Mia came from a wealthy family, she was determined to build her own cosmetics company without relying on their help. Just like Natalie, she preferred to rely on her own abilities.
"Alright," Natalie agreed in a tired tone only to have Mia jump into excitement and hug her tightly.
"Let go," Natalie frowned, feeling slightly suffocated.
Mia let her go, her face brimming with happiness, "Since you've agreed to work with me, I have good news for you."
"Nothing can be good news unless I catch that jerk Aiden Hendrix and beat the crap out of him," Natalie commented lazily, slumping onto the bed, feeling exhausted due to tiring events from the morning.
"Well, that other jerk in your life seems to be in the city," Mia said, her voice serious. "Aiden Hendrix, I mean, Justin Harper, is in Imperial City."
"What?" Natalie suddenly felt a surge of energy course through her body as she jumped out of bed. "Tell me where he is. I'll go to him right away." She could not wait to solve the mystery of her marriage.
