?Chapter 775:


    Looking away, Natalie answered dispassionately, “Understood.” Once she finished her breakfast, Natalie set off for work.


    Nina had been observing Natalie intently andter slipped into Dani’s office, murmuring, “Something’s unusual with Natalie today.” Dani quirked an eyebrow, amusement flickering across her face. “Is that so?”


    Nina exined, “She’s unusually cheerful, wearing thatvish dress, and even changed her lipstick shade. Usually, she has a long face. Today, she seems different. Something’s wrong.”


    Dani simply nodded. “We’ll let her keep her mysteries.” Still concerned, Nina kept her gaze sharply on Natalie.


    Entering the office casually, Natalie asked, “What mysteries?”


    Daniughed lightly and asked, “What mysteries? Surely, you know?” Natalie’s smile briefly wavered.


    Was Dani implying something about her?


    Natalie remained frozen in a daze, while Dani abruptly lifted her head, their eyes locking in an instant.


    A sharp, unwavering rity lit up Dani’s eyes, stopping Natalie in her tracks.


    “Are you the one keeping mysteries?” Dani pressed.


    Natalie saw Dani’s smile vanish, her expression growing serious. Her heart skipped a beat, and she stammered, “What do you mean, Dani? I’m lost.”


    It was only when Dani’s smile returned that Natalie exhaled in relief.

    “Why the worry? I was merely joking,” Dani said.


    Natalie exited the office, her heart pounding erratically, a surge of fear washing over her.


    At that moment, something in Dani’s look hinted at her deeper awareness.


    Natalie took a hearty swig of water, seeking sce.


    She let out augh, trying to convince herself. “Why should I be scared? Dani won’t be around much longer. What threat could she pose? Surely, she’s no match for Cealmaur’s mercenaries. Absurd!”


    Time slowly ticked away.


    Natalie greeted the first day with a broad smile.


    Her nerves were steady on that initial day, trusting in Cealmaur.


    The second day found Natalie still smiling.


    She reassured herself, given it was only day two, that assassination could happen in an instant; patience was key.


    Then came the third day.


    And the fourth day drifted by.


    Yet, all remained quiet.


    By the fifth day, Natalie found herself obsessively watching Dani’s office door, anticipating the moment Dani would meet her unexpected end.


    Cealmaur was known for their stealthy executions; escaping their grasp seemed impossible for Dani.


    As the sixth day dawned, doubts began to cloud Natalie’s mind. Why was Cealmaur dying? Did they always operate so close to the wire? Such dys made her question whether the deed would ever be done. Natalie’s nerves started to unravel under the weight of her thoughts.
