Both of them were still fooling around in the room when the doorbell suddenly rang.
Olivia halted her footsteps and gave Eugene a puzzled look before walking over to open the door.She found Nathan
standing in front of her when she opened the door.
"Nathan?"
"Olivia, Eugene"
Nathan greeted them in an unexcited tone.
"Come in!"
Olivia took a step back to let him in.
"Is North home?" Nathan asked.
"Yeah.He's in his room.What is it? Did you have a fight with Kate?" Olivia asked after taking a look at his gloomy
expression.
Nathan let out an exasperated sigh.
"Kate broke up with me.She's dating Jasper now!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOlivia was shocked to hear this.
"What did you say? How did she end up dating Jasper? What happened to you guys?" she asked.
Nathan told her everything that happened between him and Kate at the hospital.
"I have a gut feeling that tells me something's wrong about this matter.I've been looking for Melanie for the past
two days, but I can't find her anywhere.This makes me feel like it was all a scheme.I want North to help me search
for Melanie!"
Olivia's brows furrowed at his words.
"So, you're saying that your phone was with Kate when you received a text from Melanie...But the number doesn't
belong to Melanie at all.Instead, it's a WhatsApp number belonging to someone who applied for a job at your
company...Is the person working with you already?"
"No.His resume was perfect, so I told him to come to work the day after my interview.But he never showed up!"
Nathan explained.
"Well? Olivia said harshly, "How could that person text you right when Kate was holding your phone? Don't tell me it
was a coincidence—most of these coincidences are usually schemed and planned!"
Nathan stared at Olivia helplessly.He, too, suspected that Melanie might have contacted him on some other
anonymous account just to cause trouble between him and Kate.He thought that Melanie was trying to get revenge
or make him look bad.However, he hadn't realized what Olivia pointed out.
Olivia's right.
Even if Melanie was trying to get revenge, how did she know when Kate was holding onto my phone? If the phone
had been in my hands, I might not have come clean with Kate immediately, but I would've blocked the number, at
least.
Kate never checks my phone, anyway.
That means that the text had been timed to ensure that Kate would see it.
"Yeah.How did the person know that Kate was holding your phone?" Eugene asked.
"Did someone place CCTVs in your car?"
"A tapping device would've been enough" Olivia commented.
Nathan nodded aggressively.
"Yeah.Kate was worried that it'd be dangerous for me to drive while using the phone, so she told me to drive and
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmoffered to help me with my phone!"
"Were you supposed to go to Melanie's house? Or did Melanie tell you to go somewhere else?" Olivia asked.
"I gave her a call, and she told me where to go!" Nathan explained.
Olivia shot him a side-glare.
"So...You have Melanie's phone number?"
"I got it from someone from our gaming team.She used to be really chatty, and she had a close relationship with
the rest of the team; Nathan explained.
"Does that mean that Melanie knew that Kate and Jasper were nearby? Was that why she hugged you from the
back to cause a misunderstanding between you and Kate?" Olivia wondered.
Nathan nodded.
"That's my guess, too.I hit her and snatched her phone over to check it, but I couldn't find any anonymous accounts
inside" he said.
"What's the use of locating that anonymous account? Maybe she has two phones.But if what you said was true,
then you were clearly set up by someone else.It's possible that there were more people involved in this matter—a
single person couldn't have managed to handle such a complicated scheme.I bet that there was at least one other
person who has been monitoring you and Kate!"
