Chapter 220 Lincoln Lashes Out at Sky

Marcus snapped out of his thoughts and gave a slight nod. He unlocked his phone and slid it across the table to Natalie.

"Mr. Holden, do you have my second brother's number? Lincoln?"

"I do. Just search for it in my contacts."

"Alright, thanks."

Natalie found Lincoln's number in Marcus's contact list and dialed.

After three rings, the call connected. "Marcus?"

"Lincoln, it's me, Natalie." She glanced at Marcus before continuing, "My phone died, and I happened to run into Mr. Holden, so I borrowed his phone. I'll send you my location, so can you come pick me up?"

"No problem. Stay right there. I'll be there soon."

"Alright."

After hanging up, Natalie returned the phone to Marcus. "Mr. Holden, could you send Lincoln my location?"

"Sure."

Marcus pulled up Lincoln's WhatsApp, sent the location, and received a quick "Got it."

"Done."

Just as they finished speaking, three knocks sounded at the door before a waiter entered to serve the food.

Once the dishes were placed on the table, silence settled between Natalie and Marcus once more. Neither spoke.

After a long pause, Marcus finally broke the quiet. "Ms. Walker, let's eat."

"Alright, thank you."

Natalie began dishing out the sides for herself and Marcus. "Mr. Holden, here."

"Thank you."

Silence settled between them once more.

Natalie focused on her meal, while Marcus, though not particularly hungry, absentmindedly took a few bites.

She ate with graceful movements, but her pace wasn't slow. In just a few minutes, she had finished her meal.
