"Wendy..." Winnie gave a call to Wendy again. And when Wendy answered, she said imdiately, "Do you want to go shopping later? With your mood now, it is not good to be couped up at ho. We should go out and enjoy."
"Yesterday when Michael ca back, he kicked up a big fuss and we quarreled again. Sigh, I am not in the mood for shopping." Wendy said intentionally.
"Precisely my point. At tis like this, you should go out and take a break from those issues." Winnie said. "I have made arrangents. We can go have so desserts first, followed by a movie. Lastly, we can go to the jewelry shop to pick up the accessories I ordered the last ti. If you like them, I can give them to you."
"Uh..."
"Co on. Take it that you are accompanying instead." Winnie persuaded again.
"Okay. So, et you at the cafe we t the last ti?"
"Let’s go to another one. My friend recomnded a good dessert shop in the west side of the city." Winnie said. "I’ll text you the address. I’ll see you there directly."
Wendy gave in and agreed.
Soon, Winnie texted the address over. The address was indeed of a legitimate dessert shop. But the journey there would take Wendy thirty minutes by car. And they were going all the way there just for dessert? Wendy checked out the location on Google Maps. The shop seed a little secluded. Although Wendy did not know what was Winnie’s objective to et her there, she knew it would not as simple as it seed.
She called Michael and told him about it. Michael paused and replied, "Just go ahead. Don’t worry. I will send more bodyguards for reinforcent."
"Okay." Wendy tightened her grip on the phone. In actual fact, Wendy was hoping she did not have to witness anything bad that might happen. After all, Winnie was Michael’s mother.
She pondered for a while and decided to ask anyway, "Michael, what if your mother does sothing drastic this ti? What would you do?"
The other end was silent. What would he do? What could he possibly do? Michael had no answer to her question. "I am just asking casually." Wendy said. "After all, she is your mother. Just don’t overdo things."
After she hung up, she put on so light makeup and left with her purse and car keys.
Winnie was not there yet when Wendy reached the dessert shop. She took a seat by the window and observed the people in the shop.
The table beside her sat two n who looked over in her direction from ti to ti. Another two n were seated behind her. It appeared odd to Wendy as usually n wouldn’t frequent dessert shop as much as won. Even if there were n, they were likely there in accompanint of won. Two tables with four n...
Her hunch might be wrong, but she just had to be extra attentive and careful.
She took out her phone from her purse and dialed Winnie’s number. The call got through and she asked, "Mrs. Lucas, I am here already. Are you reaching soon?"
"Yah, I’ll be there shortly. There is a jam on my way here so I’ll be about twenty minutes late. Sorry about it."
The truth is, Winnie was there already. She was in the cafe opposite the dessert shop, monitoring the situation in the dessert shop closely.
"It’s okay. I’ll wait."
After she hung up, she got a text ssage from Michael.
[My mother is in the cafe opposite the dessert shop you are in. There are five of her n in the dessert shop. They are waiting for a chance to take action. My mother booked out the entire dessert shop. So, you will likely be kidnapped by them later.]
Wendy already felt that there was sothing amiss in the dessert shop. But she only noticed four of them. Wendy placed her phone on the table and continued looking around the dessert shop. True enough, when Wendy’s eyes t with the four n, they imdiately looked away and pretended to be chatting with the other person at the sa table.
Wendy waited patiently. Surely Winnie would have her next step in store for her.
She got bored of waiting and picked up the glass of fruit juice on the table. Just as she was about to drink, Michael’s text ca in. She put down the glass to read the text. [Do not touch any of the food. They are likely drugged.]
She looked down at the juice and dessert and did not dare to consu them anymore.
Michael was observing her every move. At tis like this, Michael would be sowhere nearby. He was in another shop. Seated on the second floor, he could clearly see Wendy’s and Winnie’s movents from where he was seated.
Shortly after, another text ca. [Pretend to take a few bites but don’t swallow them down. After that, pretend to feel dizzy.]
Following his instructions, she pretended to be using her phone in one hand and casually picking up the dessert with the other. She took a bite and chewed slowly.
Wendy reached for the juice on the table to take a sip. She looked down slightly and with her long hair covering half her face, she spitted everything in her mouth onto the floor. After a few minutes, she raised her hand to her head and said out loud, "Why do I feel a little dizzy? I don’t feel so good..."
With that, the n seated around her started to fidget. They were just waiting for her to collapse.
Wendy played along and fell onto the table. Two n ca over. "Miss? Miss..." One of them tapped Wendy on her shoulder and seeing that she had no response, he shot glances at the other n and they hurried over to carry her in the direction of the back door.
Winnie smirked as she watched from the cafe that she was in.
Wendy kept her head low as they carried her out. The dessert shop was secluded. It was even quieter when they exited from the back door. Clueless about where she would be carried to or what these people would do to her, she could not help but feel fear creeping in.
Luckily, once Wendy was brought out of the shop, she was out of Winnie’s sight. A few bodyguards wearing suits ambushed them in the alley.
"Stand aside." These n did not know who the n in suits were and rushed them off. "Out of our way."
Without saying anything, the bodyguards took the five n down. Wendy quickly ran behind the bodyguards. At this ti, Michael appeared behind the bodyguards too, so Wendy hurried over to him.
"Are you okay?" Michael asked anxiously as he quickly scanned for injuries on Wendy.
Michael saw that Wendy was taken away and he acted imdiately after they were out of Winnie’s view. He was afraid that any delays would cause issues. Everything was well within his plan but he would not be able to forgive himself if any mishap was to happen to Wendy.
"I’m alright." She was relieved upon seeing Michael.
Michael checked Wendy once more to ensure that she was unhard before he set his mind at ease.
The five n were defeated and pressed down on the ground. They exchanged glances in shock as they did not know what was going on.
"Who... who are you guys?" They knew they were in trouble. These n were obviously after them.
