Chapter 1806 Come With Me
A few minutes later, Nathaniel got up. He changed out of his pajamas and went downstairs.
He had prepared breakfast, and it was served on the dining table. When I headed downstairs, he was
nowhere to be seen.
I didn’t feel like eating. Besides, after what I went through last night, I wasn’t planning on eating
everything that Nathaniel offered me.
I went upstairs with the plan of exploring the other two rooms. Alas, I had underestimated Nathaniel’s
vigilance, for both rooms were locked. I couldn’t even get in.
After searching around, I didn’t find anything to break the lock and slumped in disappointment. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
I was about to call for help before recalling that my phone and bag were left behind in Rebecca’s
house. There was nothing for me to contact the outside world in this house.
Left with no choice, I ran outside and prayed fervently that the reason I didn’t see any houses nearby
was that the lighting was bad last night. Today, I finally got an unobstructed view of the hilltop.
Nathaniel’s house was the only house here, and there were no other houses nearby. He was literally
living in seclusion.
Stumped, my only alternative was to return and get some rest. After staying up yesterday and this
morning, I was exhausted. Not long after I returned to the bed, I fell into a deep sleep.
When I woke up, it was already nighttime. The bedroom was dark, but the living room in the suite was
brightly lit.
A set of clothes was placed at the end of the bed. Everything inside out was included. I assumed
Nathaniel had prepared an outfit for me to change into.
I got up and walked toward the living room slowly. Nathaniel was sitting on the sofa, his gaze fixated on
the computer.
I discarded my slippers and stepped onto the soft carpet as I made my way to his back.
Once I reached the sofa, I leaned forward and saw a WhatsApp message mentioning something about
a deal location.
It looked like Nathaniel was dealing with his goods. If I wasn’t mistaken, everything about the deal was
in that conversation.
To be more specific, they were on this computer.
I perked up and was prepared to inch nearer to get a closer look. Right then, Nathaniel’s phone on the
desk started buzzing. A call had come in.
Nathaniel didn’t notice me. He got his phone and answered it, mumbling a few acknowledgments
occasionally.
I sighed in relief, but he ended the call swiftly. “That’ll do.”
After returning his phone to the desk, he sensed something. Turning back, he met my nonchalant gaze.
At once, he shut his laptop and asked calmly, “Why didn’t you sleep until tomorrow morning? You might
as well do that.”
Is he blaming me for being asleep for that long?
“I can’t do anything without a phone or a laptop. What else am I supposed to do except sleep? Stare at
you?”
I strode over to the other sofa and plopped down, looking disgruntled. I was the grumpy type after
waking up, so I was planning on giving him a hard time.
Nathaniel remained unfazed. He placed his laptop on the desk and propped his arm on the armrest.
“Get changed. We need to go somewhere,” he ordered.
“No.” If I agreed immediately, that would mean I was a harmless person.
Nathaniel got up calmly and went to the bathroom. He stood before the mirror and tidied himself up. “I
thought you’d be interested in the locations I got from Schmidt,” he remarked.
“You want to bring me to patrol the locations?” I turned to look at him like the worthless idiot I was. I
couldn’t get the data on the laptop, so this seemed like a great consolation prize.
However, patrolling the locations was similar to a business inspection. Only those close to the owner
would be brought along. Obviously, my position had moved upwards in Nathaniel’s heart.
As that thought struck me, I immediately went into the bedroom. I burrowed under the covers and
changed my clothes swiftly.
Nathaniel’s bedroom had an open concept design, with a doorframe separating the living room and
bedroom. There was nothing else in between.
After crawling out of the covers, my hair was in a mess. I went to the bathroom to take the spot in front
of the mirror from Nathaniel.
Fortunately, when I stepped out, Nathaniel was already waiting on the sofa, effectively stopping a
conflict from happening.
