Chapter 393


    She looks awfully familiar.


    Suddenly, he was able to match the person in the picture with the one in his mind.


    The very next second, Dave mmed on the brakes, bringing the car to a halt.


    A curious expression descended on his face as he stared at Keh''s wallpaper.


    The frowning Keh looked at him from the corner of his eye. “What''s wrong?”


    “The woman on your wallpaper, is she your girlfriend?” Dave asked in sotto voce.


    Keh nced at his wallpaper which was a picture of Natasha looking downward. With her hair


    draped freely on her shoulder, she exuded an invigorating aura. He then shifted his attention to


    Dave. “What about it?”


    As the scene in the restaurant emerged in his mind, Dave pursed his lips in hesitation before


    speaking. “If I''m not wrong, she''s the beauty I saw in the restaurant just now.”


    Widening his eyes, Keh asked in a low voice, “Are you sure?”


    Dave took another look at the picture. “I''m not entirely sure, but her looks and charm are...


    unmistakable.”


    Without another word, Keh opened the door and sprinted back to where they came from.


    As they hadn''t driven for long, they weren''t really far from the restaurant.


    A conflicted look shed across Dave''s eyes as he sat in the car and stared into the rearview mirror,


    watching Keh run.


    After lingering for a few seconds, he spun the car around and followed thetter.


    Upon returning to the restaurant, Keh searched every corner but failed to find Natasha


    anywhere.


    Consequently, he began to grow desperate.


    “Dave, did you see where she was headed?” Keh asked anxiously.


    Dave''s eyes were calm. “She might have already left.”


    All of a sudden, Keh smashed his fist against the wall. “If only I had arrived earlier, I might have


    been able to see her.”


    In the meantime, Dave was scanning their surroundings and noticed a surveince camera


    nearby. If I''m not wrong, the camera should have captured her presence.


    Hence, he walked to the reception. “I would like to see the surveince footage for thest ten


    minutes or so.”


    Scrutinizing the two of them, the staff could see that the two men before him were extremely


    distinguished. Nheless, he still had rules to follow. “Sir, we''ll need my boss'' permission before


    you can see—”


    Dave, not wanting to waste any time, plonked a wad of cash in front of the staff.


    The receptionist''s expression changed at once. “Of course, if you have lost something, I''m more


    than happy to give you ess to it.”


    With that, they began to review the surveince footage.

    As Keh and Dave watched from the side, the feed was rewound to more than ten minutes ago.


    It showed a child rushing across the restaurant and falling down. Subsequently, the figure of a


    beautiful woman helped him up.


    Even though all he could see was a silhouette, Keh instantly recognized her as Natasha.


    It wasn''t until she turned around and he could see her face that he clenched his fists tightly.


    It''s her! That''s really her! She''s doing fine. She doesn''t just look unharmed; her face is even


    glowing.


    Keh was overwhelmed with rage, desperation, and relief at the sight of her.


    Nevertheless, the anger he felt paled inparison to the relief at knowing she was safe.


    “Is she the reason why you want to see the feed?” the receptionist asked.


    “Do you know her?” Keh responded.


    The staff shook his head. “I don''t know her, but she has dined here twice and always left a generous


    tip. That''s why I clearly remember her. However, she has settled the bill and left a short while ago.”


    As Keh''s eyes narrowed at the figure in the surveince feed, he asked, “Do you have a


    surveince camera at the entrance?”


    “We do, but it was broken sincest week, and we haven''t repaired it yet,” the receptionist replied.


    Keh''s face darkened in response.


    Meanwhile, Dave picked up a pen and paper on the table and began scribbling a string of numbers.


    “Next time thedyes here, give me a call at once.” After handing over the number, he brought


    out another wad of cash to go along with it.


    The receptionist''s eyes lit up. “I understand. No problem.”


    “Also, circte the woman''s photo among the people in the restaurant. Whoever is able to locate


    her will be well-rewarded,” Dave instructed.


    The receptionist felt as if he had struck the lottery. “Don''t worry. If she ever returns, I''ll be the first to


    call you.”


    Only then did Dave nod in approval.


    Back outside, Keh leaned against the car and lit a cigarette.


    At that moment, he stared at the surveince camera above his head and inquired, “Dave, how


    many exits does this restaurant have?”


    “Two?”


    Keh gestured for him to look at the surveince camera above.


    The restaurant they were in was located on the top-floor balcony, while there was a different


    establishment downstairs. The moment he saw the surveince camera, Dave understood at once.


    He then brought out his phone and gave Miguel a call.


    After ending the call, he turned toward Keh. “They''re working on it, but the roads here are


    complicated. Therefore, it will take some time.”


    Keh nodded. “I understand.”


    Taking in how distracted Keh was, Dave walked over and leaned against the car beside the


    former. He, too, took out a cigarette and lit it. “I''m sorry for not realizing it earlier. Or else, both of


    you might already be able to see each other.”


    Keh smiled. “You always liked ming yourself for everything.”


    He had barely finished speaking when something urred to him, causing him to scrutinize Dave.


    “If I recall correctly, you seem to be coveting her earlier?”


    Realizing what was going on, Dave answered at once, “I didn''t know she was yours. However, I was


    just admiring her, nothing more.”


    When he saw how Keh was still looking at him, Dave continued to exin, “Her frosty aura


    alone would easily nip any frivolous thoughts in the bud.”


    Keh continued to stare at Dave.


    He does speak the truth. Given how aloof Natasha is and her disdain for words andpany, most


    people would only stare at her from a distance. They can''t even gather the courage to talk to her, let


    alone have any inappropriate thoughts.


    Even then, Keh still insisted, “Dave, you had better not even admire her!”


    Dave cracked a smile at the sight of the possessive Keh. “Okay. I understand. I won''t even look


    at her next time.”


    Only then did Keh give him a satisfied nod.


    “You''re just as domineering as always.” Dave teased, “Does she like you this way?”


    “She will, as she''s different from everyone else,” Keh answered.


    Amidst Dave''sugh, an indiscernible look shed across his eyes.


    “She''s gorgeous, isn''t she?” Keh asked with a grin.


    Dave nodded with conviction. “Indeed, she is.”


    “Do you know why I''m so worried?” Keh asked.


    “Why?”


    Keh''s gaze darkened as a serious expression descended upon his face. “Because I lost her


    once due to my own stupidity. Therefore, no matter what, I cannot let her go this time!”
