Turning Of The Tide

Chapter 149

The heavens seemed to conspire against her. The morning had been sunny, but a fine drizzle began to fall as Natalie prepared to leave work. She had arrived on her motorbike, and now the weather mirrored the temperament of a particular person she couldn’t help but think of, which was ever–changing, like the shifting hues of the sky.

Shaking her head, she wondered if she had been bombarded with too many messages from him lately. How else could his name have sprung to mind in this way?

She glanced at the overcast sky and reassured herself that it was just a drizzle. It shouldn’t drench her like an unfortunate soul.

Once she hopped on her bike, she accelerated, swiftly maneuvering through the ceaseless flow of vehicles. However, the rain proved uncooperative, showing no mercy to her unprotected state. In an instant, a deluge poured down without warning

Completely drenched, her phone vibrated in her pocket. From the corner of her eye, she noticed a white Toyota slowly. drawing closer. She slowed down and stole a glance. It was Ethan, Joseph’s bodyguard, who pulled up alongside her. Stepping out of the car, he propped open an umbrella that shielded Natalie’s head. The rain poured down mercilessly, instantly soaking him through “Miss, please get in the car. Allow me to drive you back. It’s too dangerous in this deluge”

Ethan couldn’t help but worry about the consequences if something went wrong, and he couldn’t report back to Mr. Turner. The safety of Miss Natalie was paramount to him. Protecting her was why he had been assigned to the bustling capital of Athana.

Natalie’s clothes were now drenched, making it impractical for her to get into the car. She didn’t want to soil the seats either. It seemed like she had already taken the hit of getting wet, so she decided against involving another person in her soggy situation. She figured a hot shower at home would ward off any chances of catching a cold.

With that decision in mind, she politely declined Ethan’s kind offer. “You two should hop in the car. I’m already soaked, and it’s just a short distance from home. Let’s not stand around chatting Still wearing a concerned expression, Ethan dutifully held the umbrella for Natalie..

Noticing Ethan’s lingering worry, she smiled. “Trust me. I’m a doctor. We should get going now. If we wait any longer, I might catch a cold.”

Knowing Natalie’s reluctance to inconvenience them and her stubborn nature, Ethan reluctantly got into the car and started the engine, following closely behind her.

Unbeknownst to Ethan, the heavy rain prevented him from noticing the black car trailing them from behind.
