The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 60

Alkaid and Ivan were only so eager to see Noella off because they wanted to get a gander at what the big cheese of the Abyssal Organization looked like!

But they got just a glimpse of the hoity–tolty Palmer sitting in the car.

When Palmer gave them the eye. Alkald and Ivan felt like they were under attack by that sharp hawk–like stare, full of scrutiny and wariness, as he watched them holding Noella’s hand.

Alkaid whispered, “What do you reckon, could the Pollack Group’s CEO be that Vocalist from the Abyssal Organization?”

“Do you even have to ask? With the way he was looking at us, he was practically shooting daggers.”

Ivan rolled his eyes. “Our boss ain’t any better. What if she tricked or snatched that Vocalist, huh?”

“You might be onto something.”

The two exchanged glances, watching the Porsche Cayenne’s exhaust fumes fade into the distance, lost for words.

Inside the latest model Cayenne, Palmer handed Noella a cup of water, and gently touched her

Noella felt weird and thought, “I’m not a toddler; how would I let myself get cold?”

“It’s been days, but only now did I realize that I could actually miss someone this much,” said Palmer.

Annie, sitting in the passenger seat, was shivering with goosebumps!

The old Mr. Pollack, Sexton Pollack, was worried Palmer didn’t know how to romance, but with that smooth talk, it was more like worrying whether Noella could handle it!

Palmer watched Noella sipping water with a smile growing deeper.

Noella capped the cup and glanced at Palmer with a coquettish look, murmuring, “You always this straightforward?”
