Chapter 10

Chapter 10 The soft , delicate voice of Noelle immediately drew everyones attention .

What the hell ! Who the hell is this s woman on the e phone ? they wondered .

Nicolas , clearly unbothered by the stares of the people around him , stepped away from the crowd .

He couldnt help the teasing grin that crept onto This face as he spoke , his voice light and mocking , though tingeil with amusement .

Whats going on Youre not coming over anymore ? He intentionally withheld the address , wanting to see if she would ask for it directly, just as hed hoped .

But instead .

Noelle sounded increasingly frustrated , her voice tight with irritation .

Its too late now ! I cant get a damn cab .

I finally found one , but they said your place is boo Exr , so they wont come .

She let out a quiet sigh of exasperation .

If Id known this was going to happen , I wouldve insisted I take the ride when my team offered .

What a mess He went quiet for a moment , his mind racing as he processed her words .

A moment later , he asked , his voice now cautious , Do you know where I Of course I do ! Noelle snapped back , clearly still irritated by the situation .

Arent you guys at Mount Dragoon ? Thats why I cant get a ride ! Nicolas blinked , his pulse momentarily quickening .

He was indeed at Mount Dragoon the main site for the shooting clubs hunting game .

But how did she know that ? he wondered His suspicion grew .

How do you know Im at Mount Dragoon ! Noelle didnt skip a beat , sounding completely unapologetic .

I can figure out where you are .

His mind reeled for a second .

Is she being brutally honest ? Or is she a little too skilled at this for comfort ! Just from a phone call , she could pinpoint his exact location ? That wasnt something one learned overnight it was something only a professional could do .

Noelle voice softened a little as she added , Nicky , what should I do now I cant believe this is happening .

But then , her tone suddenly shifted- bright and excited .

Wait ! I see a car ! Im gonna grab it right now ? Nicolass heart skipped a beat .
