Chapter 211Chapter 211
There was a foreign yet familiar feeling.
Hesper turned around. 013 was still looking at her. He hadn’t expected Hesper to suddenly turn around,
so their eyes immediately met.
013 looked down and tugged on the mask he was wearing, then left the place through the back door.
Hesper was stunned for a moment, then remembered the black mole under his eyes. He was the man.
who pushed her in Salt City!
Isaac and Renee were with her, so even if she knew that the assassin was there, she couldn’t do
anything about it. That person obviously noticed her gaze and that’s why he left.
Hesper sat there for a while, thinking, then slowly got up.
A lot of eyes were on her, and when she stood up, they all looked toward her. However, Hesper didn’t
have time to care about that.
Before the assassin showed up, she could still lie to herself about having more time and that the man
might have been arrested, but now, it seemed that the person had been observing her and was ready
to pounce when she wasn’t careful!
“What’s going on?”
Zikmund and Rickard looked at each other, as Hesper wasn’t acting normal. At least it didn’t look like
she wanted to leave.
Did something happen when they weren’t paying attention? Rickard got up and Zikmund followed along. Half the people there had their eyes on Hesper when she
left, now the other half were looking at Rickard. The auctioneer was introducing the final item on stage
but could only smile sadly in his heart.
The two heavy-weights had left, which meant that the auction was unofficially over.
Hesper ran after 013 and noticed that her heart was racing.
Logic told her that running after the man alone was very risky, but she didn’t want him to get away.
Her instinct told her that this wouldn’t be the last time she saw him.
Since she was a little late when she started running, all the rooms before her looked identical. Hesper
took a deep breath because she was probably going to go back empty-handed.
She tried to remember those dark eyes but her focus kept going back to the mole.
Twiggy was right, that mole was easy to recognize.
“Hesper!”
Rickard came running and immediately grabbed her hand. “What is it? What happened?”
novelbinZikrnund caught up quickly and was panting very hard as he said, “What… What happened? Why are
we running?”
“…Let go of me.”
Hesper struggled but didn’t manage to get out of his grip, so she looked at Rickard. “Please respect
boundaries, Mr. Duval.”
Hearing that, Rickard looked at Hesper from head to toe to confirm that she was fine and then let go. “I’m sorry, you suddenly left. I thought-”
“What’s the point of pretending?” Hesper cut him off and took one step back to put some distance
between them. “There’s nothing more to say between us and you don’t have to explain. Bye.”
