Selena's expression turned cold. "I'm sure."

He asked again, "Which country are you heading to?"

"Any, as long as I can leave quickly!"

"Alright," he said. "I'll let you know once everything's sorted."

Selena replied and watched him leave with the deed in hand. As she turned around, she nearly jumped in shock to find Gavin standing right behind her. Pressing her hand to her chest, she asked nervously, "What are you doing here?"

Gavin frowned, glancing her over before looking toward the man walking away. Hesitating, he asked, "What were you just doing?"

Selena immediately averted her eyes. "Nothing. Why are you here?"

"I tried calling you, but you didn't answer. I thought something might have happened, so I tracked your phone's location and came to find you."
