Natalie's heart thumped rapidly when she heard that.

Sure enough, I was right. I did suspect that the ingredients were not from the island. If that were true, it could only mean that someone must've delivered them from the mainland. And if so, that person had to use a boat or a plane. I was only trying my luck when I asked her about it, but I can't believe I really managed to find out that the ingredients get delivered via boat! The only thing is I don't know how frequent the deliveries are.

With that thought in mind, Natalie asked, “Oh, really? So do they deliver the vegetables every two days?”

If she says yes, I can seize the chance when the boat arrives to sneak on board and get out of here!

But to her dismay, the maid shook her head. “No. Sir and Miss only come by occasionally, so I'm the only one here most of the time. Hence, there's no fixed schedule for the deliveries. Sir makes the arrangements, and they'll only deliver the vegetables when he gives the order.”

Natalie's initial excitement faded, and she became devastated.

So, he's the one who makes the arrangements. In that case, I don't see how I could possibly find out when a boat would be coming, and it'll be difficult for me to plot my escape route.

Her spirits plummeted immediately at that thought.

Noticing Natalie's despondent expression, the maid left the room silently, not wanting to disturb her further.

Once the maid was gone, Natalie massaged her temples in frustration and stood up. She began pacing around the living room, hoping to find a phone or something.
