Chapter 89: Ivan’s Fury

The music was approaching its final notes, the elegant rhythm slowing. Yet, the man never once broke his gaze from her, his eyes holding hers with a steady intensity every time they faced each other.

As the final notes of the music faded, Natalie, realizing she was running out of time, mumbled under her breath, "Justin?"

In that precise moment, the man gracefully twirled her away, sending her into a series of elegant spins. By the time she stopped, the music had ended, and when she looked back to find him, he had vanished.

The lights in the hall flashed on, momentarily blinding her as she squinted toward the exit. The mysterious man and his entourage were already making their way out.

She decided to follow him, but as Emcee announced, other couples flooded the centre of the hall and the music started.

’Damn!’ Knowing she wouldn’t be able to make it to the exit, Natalie hurried towards one of the balconies attached to the hall. Reaching it, her eyes immediately locking onto the group of people below. She watched as luxury cars pulled up in front of the group.

Natalie, still filled with doubt, pulled out her cell phone and dialed Justin’s number. If it’s him, he’ll have his phone on him. The phone rang several times before the call was finally answered.

"Ms. Natalie," Noah’s familiar voice greeted her.

"Where are you and where is Justin?" she asked, her eyes stuck to the man below and also wondering where Noah was. If this man was Justin, then Noah should be with him, but he was not.

"Ms Natalie, Mr Harper is busy but if there is any emergency I can let you talk to him."

"Yes. give him a phone," Natalie ordered and also watched a luxury car stop in front of that man and a bodyguard opened the door for him. ’It’s not Justin’s car.’

"Hmm?" She heard the familiar voice on the other side of the phone while at this moment the man she was watching had sat in the car.
