Chapter 172: Message From Little Star
After arguing with Justin, Natalie returned to the office and busied herself in the work. But she couldn’t stop cursing Justin in her mind.
’That Jerk. How could you just dismiss someone without considering their efforts? John was his trusted man and he just.....Is he some god to build some ridiculous rules which can’t be broken? Is he truly some kind of Mafia, hiding behind a faced businessman?’ She wondered, but then frowned, ’I don’t need to be scared of him. I wasn’t scared of anyone in Xyros city, then what more is this spoiled rich brat?’
She looked at her cellphone, and once more dialed John’s number but couldn’t reach him once more.
I hope he’s okay... The thought tugged at her heart. This is all my fault. All he did was try to protect me, and now he’s the one paying for my mistakes. I just need to know he’s safe, and maybe then I can finally have some peace.
With a sigh, Natalie set the phone back on her desk and leaned back in her chair, rubbing her temples. Then, a soft ping alerted her to a new message.
Assuming it wasn’t anything important, she picked up her phone lazily. But as she saw the sender, her eyes widened.
Message from: Little Star.
Ivan? she wondered in disbelief. Why is he messaging me now, after all this time, from that old ID?
She opened the message to read it, her heart gripped with those past feelings when she would feel comforted whenever she received a message from Little Star.
She opened the message, her pulse quickening.
Little Star: Soon, we will meet. Wait for me.
