Chapter 149

Their car was stuck in traffic. Emmanuel was considering getting out to find another way home when he received a message from Naomi.

He was puzzled, wondering, ‘What does she mean by this? What did Malcolm find out? Giuseppe is the one who hit Tabitha with the car, yet Malcolm is going to confront him with Naomi? If Naomi gets too scared, she might accidentally reveal some evidence.”

Emmanuel had to sit back down and text Naomi: [Find an excuse to leave his car. I’ll come pick you up.]

Naomi immediately showed Malcolm the message and asked him, “How should I reply?”

“Just say you can’t get out of the car right now,” Malcolm answered.

Naomi replied to Emmanuel’s messages accordingly.

Emmanuel continued to text: [Stay calm. I’ll come up with something when I reach the destination.]

Naomi only replied: [Okay.] Then, she stopped messaging him.

Emmanuel gripped the phone tightly until his fingers turned white and the veins on the back of his hand bulged.

He closed his eyes, recalling Tabitha in her light purple dress and her slightly shy gaze.

However, he felt frustrated because he was going to miss this beautiful date. He thought, ‘I wouldn’t be constantly worried about the truth being exposed if I hadn’t worked with Naomi in the past.

The road was badly congested, and it was ten past seven when Saul finally drove the car to a secluded café.
