The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 35

Why was the word “like” suddenly so hot on his Ups?

Palmer casually undid his suit button with one hand and took his seat like a true gent.

“Let me reintroduce myself. Name’s Palmer Pollack, flying solo. Got grandparents at home with health issues, a dad who’s not much help, and two brothers who aren’t the sharpest tools in the shed. As you can see, I’m busting my hump trying to keep the family afloat.

Noella was speechless.

Why should she care about who’s in his family or whether he’s single?

“The lady who called me earlier Is no one to me. I’ve never been in love, and I’m a complete rookie when it comes to relationships.”

“Oh.”

Palmer’s handsome face was adorned with a gentle, breezy smile, and the glint from his gold–rimmed glasses added a touch of luster to his appearance.

“I need a favor, hoping you can help me out.”

“Shoot.”

“I’d like to meet ‘Lunaris‘ from the Obelisk Organization, the so–called Phantom Surgeon. My grandparents, especially Grandpa, aren’t doing too great. His heart condition has been pretty bleak these past years, and I’ve grown numb from signing too many critical condition notices.”

On the deep web, the Phantom Surgeon Lunaris was a big deal. Apart from knowing that Lunaris was part of the Obelisk Organization, no one had the scoop on her.

Rumor had it that during a group mission for the Obelisk, Lunaris single–handedly saved all the critically injured members, snatching lives right out of death’s clutches!

Noella pressed her lips.

“Sure, when do you need to see her?”

“Sooner, the better.”

“How’s the 20th sound?”

She couldn’t make time to see Palmer’s granddad on the 18th since the Schnabel family was throwing her a birthday bash.

“Perfect, I’ll sort everything out and pick you up then! As for getting in touch with her, I’ll leave that to you. I’ll have the fee ready.”

“Alright.”

Noella agreed, then remembering Palmer’s financial situation, added, “You don’t need to break
