Chapter 355 Payback
She didn’t doubt the authenticity of Curtis’s call. Curtis, Kyle and Connor all worked for Eugene, and they could even make decisions on behalf of him. So, it was impossible that he would do something as asinine as using Eugene’s name to call her. Since he had given her a call, it must have been Eugene’s order.
She was just surprised that the location was quite far away! But she still planned to go anyway. After all, he was the one who helped prevent her incident from being reported. Even if she did plot against Olivia, she had received her punishment too, so he wouldn’t be coming after her again, right? With that in mind, she started getting ready.
An hour later, Aleena left her room. Kelly was so happy that she almost teared up, but when she saw that Aleena had recovered all of a sudden, she asked in confusion, “Aleena, where are you going this late at night?”
Aleena smiled and replied, “I’m going out for a while. Eugene is looking for me.”
Hearing that, Kelly let down much of her guard. In her impression, Eugene Nolan had always been reliable. In addition, he had kept his words last night. There wasn’t any news of what happened last night being reported, so her favorable impression toward him increased. “Why is he looking for you at such a late hour?”
“I’m not sure either,” Aleena answered. “Mom, I’m leaving now.” With that said, she turned and walked out the door. She was afraid she wouldn’t be able to find the location on her phone so she didn’t drive. Instead, she hailed a taxi.
It took almost an hour for her to arrive at her destination. She got out of the taxi and checked the location on her phone to make sure she was at the right place, then she let the driver go. But she got even more confused. Why did Eugene ask her to come over to this old, abandoned parking lot?
She grabbed her phone and called Eugene, but his line was busy. With no choice, she called Curtis, and he confirmed that this was the place. Then, she walked deeper into the parking lot tentatively. It was really dark and big inside, and it seemed like there wasn’t an end to it.
Aleena grew more and more unsure the further she went into the parking lot. Just when she was hesitating if she should continue walking further in, she heard a snap in the empty parking lot. The headlights of the cars were turned on all at once, lighting up the parking lot as if it was the day, followed by the roaring sound of the engines as if they were waiting to speed up. Aleena was puzzled. What are they doing?
She had seen many men use car headlights as an aid when they pursued girls to satisfy the girls’ vanity where they would feel that all attention was on them. And when the girl reached a specially assigned spot, she would receive a surprise. Could it be that Eugene was giving her a surprise too?
It might be because she was hoping for it, for she quickly convinced her that the situation was exactly that. She then took a few steps forward and saw Eugene sitting in a chair. He was entirely dressed in black sitting in the middle of the parking lot, his phone in his hand. He wasn’t playing any mobile games and was just fiddling around with it in boredom. His whole body was giving out a relaxed vibe, and his gaze was fixed on her.
Aleena relaxed completely and ran toward him with light footsteps, her face filled with happiness. “Eugene, what are you doing? Why did you ask me to come over?”
Eugene just lazily raised his eyelids to look at her while continuing to fiddle around with his phone. “Since you came over, I’ll give you a chance!”
Aleena’s eyes suddenly filled with hope. A chance? Could it be a chance for her to be his girlfriend? “What chance?”
Eugene looked at her, a cold sneer on his lips. “Last night, you tried to plot against Olivia. For the sake of our acquaintance, and seeing that you have already suffered from your own actions, I will let you off.”
Aleena’s smile froze on her face. This wasn’t Eugene asking her to be his girlfriend. He was here for payback!
