Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 113 Is It Because I Look Too Bad or I Failed as a Person

This was the garage of Skyline International Corporation. Did it mean someone from Skyline was tailing me?

Could Ethan already know I lied to him yesterday?

I'd only been to Skyline a few times. The only person I knew well was Ethan.

Startled by the thought, I quickly dismissed it. No way. He had no motive.

As I anxiously approached the garage exit, an arm suddenly yanked me aside. My eyes widened in surprise when I saw who it was.

I asked, "What are you doing here?"

Faris bent his almond-shaped eyes and grinned at me.

"Don't be so surprised. You'll soon realize how lucky you are to bump into me here."

"What are you up to now?" I glared at him warily.

Faris frowned and sighed in mock frustration.

"I'm trying to help you, and this is what you think of me? Do I look shady or am I just a total failure?"

I stared at him impassively.

Of course, I didn't believe he was helping me, even though he did help me yesterday.

Faris turned and leaned lazily against the wall, smiling faintly. "I guess you saw that car inside just now, right? Destroying the camera yesterday didn't solve everything. If I'm not mistaken, the other party used other equipment to take photos. Their purpose in coming here today is to show them to Ethan."

I was stunned by what Faris said. I hid the truth from Ethan yesterday to avoid misunderstandings and to keep my driving lessons.

I had nothing to hide, but if Ethan knew I was with Faris, he'd think about the kidnapping and the unfair contract. Oh my God, I didn't want to think about it.

Faris saw my reaction and checked his watch.

"According to reliable information from five minutes ago, Ethan is still in a meeting. Maybe the person hasn't had a chance to see Ethan yet, but that was five minutes ago. It's hard to say if the meeting is over now."

I didn't have time to ask where he got his reliable information. I just turned and ran.

I rushed into Skyline International Corporation, ignoring the surprised looks from all the employees, and dashed into the elevator without slowing down.

For the first time, I felt the elevator was moving so slowly. I wished I could fly.

When I reached the top floor, the female assistant kindly told me Ethan was still in a meeting.

My intense anxiety made it impossible to wait. I ran straight to the conference room door and pushed it open.

Everyone in the meeting turned to look at me.

Ethan, sitting at the head of the table, met my gaze.

I didn't care if I was being reckless. My urgency must've been written all over my face, and everyone could see it.

He should be able to see it too.

Ethan closed the file in front of him. "Okay, meeting's over."
