Trapped in Love

Chapter 841 Hid in the Dumpster 

Soon after, Yuliana heard an unfamiliar woman’s voice.

She spoke in Spanish. “Sir, is two weeks enough for the next step?”

Not understanding the language, Yuliana used her phone to record the conversation.

Scott replied in Spanish, “Two weeks are sufficient. Just follow the same plan for the next two weeks.”

The woman affirmed, “Understood, sir. I’ll make a move first.”

Scott nodded.

The sound of the woman’s footsteps gradually approached Yuliana’s location.

It was too late for Yuliana to grab the metal block–she was shocked.

She glanced at the stairway and decided to run downstairs.

Observing a seam in the fire door, the woman frowned and picked up the metal block.

Scott noticed the woman was still there and asked in puzzlement, “What’s going on, Elvira?”

Elvira passed the metal block to Scott. “I found this stuck in the door crack, sir. I believe it’s intentional.”

Scott took the palm–sized metal block, wondering, ‘Who put this here?”

He circled past Elvira, scanning the fire escape, downstairs, and upstairs. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Check upstairs, Elvira,” Scott instructed.

Elvira nodded, rushing upstairs with agile movements.

Scott walked back to his residence, gazing downstairs from the window.

Elvira returned 10 minutes later, reporting to Scott, who was fiddling with the metal block, “Everything seems normal, sir.”

Scott pondered briefly. “Okay, you may leave. Remember to take the fire escape.”

Elvira replied, “Alright, sir. I’ll inform you if anything comes up. Take care of your safety, too.”

Scott continued monitoring downstairs after Elvira left.

He sat on the sofa only when Elvira had left the residential building. He expected someone would need to exit through the building’s only entrance, but he saw no one leave after Elvira.

Convinced that the fire door and escape would make noise, Scott frowned. ‘Could the metal block be stuck there coincidentally?‘

Meanwhile, Yuliana hid in the dumpster, suppressing nausea before getting out.

She removed her top and cap, then ran down the building, staying close to the wall of the parking lot.

Yuliana called Neil as soon as she entered the car.

Neil was still awake and quickly picked up the call, not expecting to hear Yuliana gagging.

Neil frowned. “What’s going on, Yulia?”

Yuliana said, “I… blurgh…. hid in the dumpster… blurgh… Oh my god… to avoid them earlier…”

Neil sighed. “You don’t have to push yourself so hard, Yulia.”

“Would you rather live or be clean?” Yuliana asked.

Neil replied, “Was there nowhere else to hide?”

“Yes! I could have jumped out of the window and died!” Yuliana exclaimed.

Neil sighed again. “Thank you for doing this. Would you like to have supper together?”

“Yes, for sure! I have something to tell you, too. We’ll meet at Raft’s Diner in an hour.”

Neil arrived at the diner an hour later, ordering Yuliana’s favorite food as she hadn’t arrived yet.
