Lets go .
What happened ? he asked , his voice tinged with concern She took a deep breath .
Someone bumped into me just now .
Clark froze for a second .
Then , as realization sank in , his expression shifted .
Which one ? What ? I said , which one ? His voice was sharp , and without waiting for her answer , he turned , scanning the crowd .
At that moment , the man whod bumped into Noelle walked up to another girl , still wearing that same sleazy grin .
Is that him ? Clark asked , eyes narrowing .
Before Noelle could respond , he had already rushed forward and punched the man in the nose .
How dare you ? he yelled .
Mr.
Freeman , the paintings been delivered .
Heres the acceptance form , Dan said , handing Hendrix the paper .
Hendrix nodded without a word .
Dan hesitated .
Mrs.
Freeman called earlier .
She knows about your purchase of Mr.
Yorks piece .
She also asked if you had any personal plans recently .
Hendrix looked up .
Before he could speak , Dan hurried to add , Dont worry .
I didnt say anything .
Hendrix didnt respond , but his demeanor softened slightly Feeling a bit bolder , Dan asked , Mr.
Freeman , about the painting- Before he could finish , Hendrixs phone rang Hendrix frowned when he saw the caller ID .
As soon as he heard the voice , his expression turned cold .
Dan had worked with him for years , but this was the first time hed seen Hendrix appear so terrifying In that instant , he noticed the veins in Hendrixs hands bulging , his lips pressed tight , and his eyes darkened with a chilling intensity .
I understand , Hendrix said , his voice unnervingly calm .
He hung up the phone , and Dans heart skipped a beat .
Still he hesitated before asking , Mr.
Freeman , what- Before he could finish , Hendrix was already on his feet , grabbing the car keys and heading out the door .
Dan stood frozen for a second , letting out a quiet breath of relief before Hendrixs voice broke the silence .
Follow me .
Chapter 109 +25 BONUS Dan blinked in surprise but quickly obeyed , not daring to question it .
He hurried to catch up to Hendrix .
Mr.
Freeman , would you like me to drive ? he offered cautiously in the elevator .
Hendrix didnt answer , nor did he hand over the keys .
Dan fell silent , unsure of what to say .
They reached the parking garage quickly , and Hendrix slid into the drivers seat without hesitation .
Dan had ridden in Hendrixs car before , but this time , he felt different , as though he was in the middle of a high speed chase .
He kept quiet , gripping his seatbelt tightly , mentally reminding himself that hed bought accident insurance this year .
He reassured himself that the insurance payout would likely be higher if something happened to him while riding in Hendrixs car .
As Dan lost himself in thought , Hendrix slammed on the brakes .
The tires screeched , cutting through the quiet night , leaving behind a sharp echo .
Dan turned and realized they had arrived at the police station .
