“Be careful, Sebastian.If those thugs know where I work, they probably know where I live.Maybe they’ll ambush you at home.” Natalie grabbed his arm and looked at him worriedly.

“Don’t worry. They won’t have the guts to do that.”

As he spoke, Sebastian looked into the distance with a cold expression.Then he patted her on the head gently and turned around to leave, disappearing in the crowd.

Swallowing her nervousness, Natalie walked briskly into the Larson Group’‘s building.

The woman behind Natalie snickered at her and whispered to her friend while they all waited for the elevator. “That’s really her.

“She was probably waiting for the security guards to drive those people away. I think she must have availed a loan and doesn’t want us to know about it,” the man beside her echoed.

Natalie was in no mood to argue with them. She turned around and decided to take the stairs. She didn’t want to think about it and decided to concentrate on work. When Natalie finally reached her desk, no one bothered to talk to her. Gerda was usually a chatterbox who spoke nonstop. However, she seemed strangely silent today. Natalie’s colleagues glanced at her and carried on with their work. They all seemed eerily calm, as if a storm were brewing to destroy her life.
