Returning With A Thousand Favors

Chapter 308

“You might not believe it if I told you, but it seems like I have been on vacation lately.” Marina said as she leaned back. casually on the seat behind her.

“Vacation?” Simon asked in confusion.

Marina proceeded to recount her experiences from the past few days to Simon.

Hearing that, Simon fell into immediate silence.

On the other hand, Gavin, who was seated in the back seat, could not help but exclaim, “What were they trying to do?”

“I am not sure either. After I arrived there, they served me good food and drinks and didn’t ask me anything.” Marina replied. She could not quite comprehend it either.

“Could that person be your admirer, Miss Bailey?” Gavin blurted out, shocking everyone.

As soon as he said that, Simon’s face darkened.

“Stop spouting nonsense. I don’t even know that person,” Marina said, rolling her eyes in exasperation.

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t know him. What matters is that he knows you. Otherwise, think about it. He went through so much trouble to capture you but didn’t do anything to you. He didn’t even negotiate with you and served you good food and drinks every day. Besides love, what other reason could there be?” Gavin deliberately emphasized each word.

As Gavin’s words sank, Marina was at a loss for words, while Simon’s eyes widened in shock.

“Actually, I think that makes sense. For someone like you, Miss Bailey, having one or two admirers is really normal. It’s just that this admirer adopted some serious methods. He imprisoned you in the villa. Could it be that he wants to develop a deep emotional connection with you?” Gavin failed to notice the chilling aura emanating from Simon as he continued to speak.

“What do you mean by develop an emotional connection? Stop with your wild imagination.” Marina rolled her eyes.

While Gavin wanted to say more, the car suddenly shook, abruptly halting his words.

It seemed like Gavin finally realized the situation he was in, and he could not believe that he discussed these things in front. of their CEO, Mr. Hernandez.

“Yes. I think you’re absolutely right, Miss Bailey. That person definitely isn’t your admirer. He must have ulterior motives, another agenda!” Gavin stammered as his survival instinct peaked.

Marina did not bother paying attention to him.

She glanced at Simon beside her and said, “I’m going to sleep. Wake me up when we arrive.”

Although Mr. Fermon had not restricted her freedom or caused her any trouble these past few days, she was still on someone else’s turf.

Therefore, she slept very lightly.

Now that she saw Simon, drowsiness irresistibly washed over her.

“Okay,” Simon replied softly.

Marina closed her eyes, and with that, she slept till noon the next day.

When she woke up, she found herself lying on a soft bed.

Sitting up, all the memories from the previous night flooded back in an instant.

“Simon!” Marina immediately turned her head to look beside her but found no trace of Simon.

She then pushed aside the covers and got out of bed.

However, as she reached the door, someone suddenly pushed it open from the outside.

Simon stood at the doorway, holding some food in his hands.

“Awake?” Simon’s voice rang clear and pleasant as always.

“Hmm. Marina nodded.

“Then go freshen up first and come eat,” Simon said, walking toward the nearby table with the tray in hand.

“Okay,” Marina replied as she obediently went to the bathroom.

When she emerged, Simon had already set everything on the dining table for her.

Marina smiled and sat down.

“Why is there only enough food for me? Have you already eaten?” Marina asked as she ate.

“Yes, I saw you sleeping and did not want to wake you up.” Simon responded.

“Hmm.” Marina nodded. “By the way, where are we?”

This place was not Simon’s home. It looked a bit like a hotel.

“This is a hotel owned by the Hernandez Group in Hatinne, Simon explained.

“Hatinne? So I’ve been brought to Hatinne.” Marina nodded thoughtfully.

She had been locked in the trunk of the car all along. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Although she pretended to be unconscious to deceive her kidnappers, the trunk did not have any windows, so she could not see the surroundings.

Later, she had been in the villa all the time, completely unaware that she was already in Hatinne.

“Have you found out the identity of that person?” Marina asked again.

Simon shook his head. “Not yet.”

The other person was more elusive than he had imagined.

Although he had been investigating diligently, he had not found any useful clues so far.

“It’s alright. That person seems to be good at hiding, so we’ll have to take our time,” Marina replied. She did not think there was an issue with Simon’s efficiency.

“By the way, can you get me a computer?” Marina asked as she placed her fork down. She was almost done eating.

“Of course,” Simon replied and immediately called Gavin.

In less than ten minutes, Gavin walked over with a computer in his hands.

Simon took the computer and handed it to Marina, saying. “This is my computer. Take a look and see if you’re comfortable using it.”

“It’s okay. It is fine as long as I can go online.” Marina took it and turned it on directly.

Gavin, who stood aside, could noit help but show a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He knew very well that his CEO, Mr. Hernandez, rarely allowed others to touch his computer.

Even he himself had never used their CEO’s computer.

After all, the contents inside could easily impact the company’s future with just one random action.

Yet, their CEO casually handed it to Marina.

Indeed, men who had fallen in love were blind.

Gavin shook his head slowly.

However, as the party involved, Marina did not even consider that.

She focused her attention on the screen in front of her, searching for the information she wanted.

After about half an hour, Marina’s gaze paused.

“What’s wrong?” Simon looked at her with curiosity and asked quickly.

“Take a look,” Marina replied as she turned the computer screen towards him directly.

Simon took a quick glance at it.

The computer screen displayed information about a biotech company.

“What’s this?” Simon asked. He could not quite understand..

“I saw this logo before in Mr. Fermon’s lab,” Marina replied as she pointed to the company’s logo.

“Mr. Fermon?” Simon asked, his tone carrying a hint of doubt.

“He’s the person who captured me,” Marina explained.

Simon nodded in understanding.

Marina then pointed at the logo on the screen and elaborated, “There’s an attic on top of Mr. Fermon’s villa. Inside the attic. there’s a lab. In one corner of the lab, I saw a piece of scrap paper. That paper had this logo printed on it.”
