Chapter: 307

Seeing that it was Caden calling, she felt a wave of anxiety and quickly gestured to the valet to stay quiet.

The valet nodded in response.

Alicia stepped away before saying, “What's up?"

"Are you done?" Caden asked flatly.

"I'm still busy," Alicia replied. "I'm at the hospital right now."

Caden narrowed his eyes at Alicia, who was standing by the roadside with the man's jacket draped over her shoulders. His tone grew sharp.

“Why are you still there? It's late, and you haven't left yet."

“Just handling the stuff I mentioned to you earlier," Alicia answered.

She glanced at her watch, worried about giving herself away. “What do you need? Just say it."

"Nothing," he replied.

"Then why did you call?" Alicia replied, sounding quite annoyed. “I'm busy right now."

Caden let out a cold sneer. "Do you have any plans tonight?"

Alicia instantly knew what he meant.

She thought it was too late and didn't want to deal with him. "Yeah, I'm planning to stay overnight at the hospital."

Caden's face turned grim.

“Alicia, look across the street," he said.

Alicia frowned. “What? she asked before looking up."

She immediately noticed the black Maybach.

The sight of the familiar emblem made her heart pound, and once she spotted the license plate, her fears were confirmed.

Her eyes finally settled on the car window.

Caden was there, holding his phone while staring at her.

Alicia froze for a second, and then quickly tried to pretend she hadn't noticed anything. "What's across the street? I don't see anything. Anyway, I need to go. I-"

"Come over," Caden commanded.

She immediately fell silent.

There was no real reason to fear him, but those two words struck her like a blade at her throat, making her feel intimidated.

Thus, she stayed where she was.

Caden's voice grew even colder. “Do I need to come over there myself?"

She responded without hesitation, "I'll come over. Just stay where you are."

Thereafter, he ended the call.

Alicia handed the jacket back to the valet and quickly made up an excuse to send him away. Then she started walking toward Caden's car.
