She hurriedly swiped to answer the call.

“Natalie, are you okay? You sent me that drawing earlier–I didn’t understand what it meant, so I gave it to Baron. He told me to stay out of it, but the more I thought about it, the more worried I got. Did something happen to you?”

Ever since hanging up with Baron, Renee had been uneasy.

If it had just been a design draft, Natalie would’ve explained how to handle it. But the email contained nothing–just that mysterious drawing.

And that drawing looked more like a floor plan than a design sketch.

Renee began to suspect something was wrong. Yet every time she tried calling Natalie, she couldn’t get through.

If she hadn’t answered today, Renee had already decided she’d personally go to the Stone family estate to look for her.

Thankfully, Natalie picked up.

Hearing the worry in Renee’s voice, Natalie felt a pang of guilt.

“Renee, I’m so sorry for making you worry. I’m fine. There was just… a special situation earlier. That drawing couldn’t be seen by anyone else, so I used my work account to send it to you. Luckily, you were smart enough to forward it to Baron. Everything’s settled now. Baron and I will head back tomorrow–I’ll treat you to dinner when we’re back.”

Natalie didn’t tell Renee that she’d been kidnapped and taken to Ocevaris.
