From Ashes of Scandals to His Embrace novel Chapter 389

“I’m heading out for dinner. I’ll go to Kendrick’s bistro, if that’s alright.”

The two men exchanged a glance and immediately understood what she meant. They nodded.

“Of course. Zero One will drive you,” one of them said.

Zero One stepped forward and introduced himself. “Hi Laurinda, I’m Zero One. That’s Zero Six. I’ll take you to the bistro. He’ll stay here and keep an eye out in case anyone else is lurking around.”

Laurinda slipped into her puffer coat and left with Zero One. As soon as their car pulled away from the building, another car started following them. Zero One noticed right away.

“They’re tailing us.”

Laurinda checked the rearview mirror, barely sparing the trailing car a look. Her voice was calm, almost bored. “Just ignore them. Drive to the bistro.”

They stopped outside Kendrick’s. Laurinda got out, walked in, and spotted Kendrick, who looked a bit surprised to see her alone.

“You’re by yourself? Where’s Adolphus?”

“He’s out, running errands,” Laurinda replied.

She followed Kendrick inside. As they passed the window, she glanced outside and spotted the car that had followed her, parked by the curb.

Once they were in a private room, Kendrick handed her a menu and tapped the tabletop. “Take your time. What do you want to eat?”

Laurinda studied the menu for a moment, then pointed to two dishes. “These will do.”

“Alright. Just wait a bit, it’ll be ready soon.”

After Kendrick left, Laurinda sat by herself at the table, pulled out her phone, and opened the tracking app. She stared at the screen—still no sign of Renata’s signal. She had no idea what was happening on Renata’s end or why she’d been cut off for so long.

Just as Laurinda was starting to lose patience, a little red dot popped back onto the screen. It was moving fast.
