Unexpected Love: One Night With Mr CEO

Chapter 123 - 123. No One

Naila then continued on her way, looking for traders she might find in the settlement.

"Where are we going, Aunt?" asked Dave suddenly on the way, because for the boy this was the first time he had seen a sight like this. Yes, naturally, Anna's son is always at home and is not allowed to go anywhere by his mother. He only came out when Anna took him for a weekend, whether it was a city park, amusement park, mall, or another shopping center.

"Looking for a drink, honey. You are thirsty, aren't you?" Naila asked, glancing at Dave who was also looking at her at that time.

Hearing Naila's question, Dave nodded in agreement.

Walking for a few minutes down the halls, Naila didn't even see anyone.

"Is it always quiet like this?" she muttered once again looking around.

"Auntie, why isn't there anyone?"

"Are you sure this is the right way?" Dave asked again in his very innocent voice.

For a moment Naila was stunned to hear the boy's question.

"Yes, Dear. Don't worry," answered Naila, somehow she felt a little doubtful about the direction she was taking. The houses that lined the left and right sides of the paved road she was passing were quiet, everything was closed and no sound could be heard as if the complex she was in was currently uninhabited.

They both kept walking until they found a checkpoint. Naila decided to rest for a while. "Dave, let's get some rest, shall we, honey?"

"Okay, Auntie."

Luckily, a breezy wind blew and gave a little fresh sensation to both of them.

Suddenly Naila's sense of hearing heard the sound of a motorbike that seemed to be approaching them at this time, "Dave, wait for me a minute, ok?" she said and at the same time, she immediately moved from her position, got out of the patrol post and stood on the side of the road.

And it turned out that someone was heading towards her. Of course, Naila will not miss this golden opportunity, using one hand, she tried to restrain the driver who turned out to be a middle-aged woman, judging by her age she was probably around forty years old.

"Excuse me, madam," Naila approached the middle-aged woman with a smile on her face.

"Yes, Miss? What's wrong?"

"May I ask?"

"Please, Miss," the woman replied as she turned off the engine.

"Do you know where the nearest shop is from here?" Naila asked in a very smooth and polite tone of voice.

"Sorry, Miss. Maybe, you should get out onto the highway first. There are no traders in this complex. But in the complex next door there may be, it's just that it's a bit far from here, Miss" explained the middle-aged woman.

"Eh? Really?" Naila's brow furrowed.

"That's right, Miss."

Naila nodded faintly, "Since earlier, I haven't seen anyone, has the atmosphere in this complex always been like this, Madam?" asked Naila who couldn't stand her curiosity anymore.

"That's right, Miss, the atmosphere during the day is like this because the residents are busy in the amusement park, the average resident of this complex has a livelihood there," the middle-aged woman replied in one breath.

"Looks like Miss has just entered this compound?" She asked Naila again, her eyes occasionally glancing behind the place where Dave was.

"Ah, I'm lost, ma'am. I've been looking for merchants but haven't found any," replied Naila, the smile on her lips never fading.

The middle-aged woman just nodded in understanding, "Want to come with me, Miss?" bargain.

"Where are you going?" asked Naila.

"I want to go home, Miss. Coincidentally my house is very close to the highway, from there it only needs to take a few meters and then exit this complex. Yes, that's if you want."

Naila was silent, seemed to be considering the middle-aged woman's offer.

"If you object, that's fine. Then I'll excuse myself," said the woman again starting the engine.

"Ah, wait, wait," said Naila.

"Okay madam, I will follow you, thank you in advance," he added again.

"Then go up."

"Wait a minute madam," Naila said then turned and walked towards Dave.

"Come on honey," Naila said softly and only got a nod from the child. From the expression shown, Anna's son seemed very tired, however, Naila never heard him complain.

And after that, they left the place, carried by a stranger, Naila felt a little nervous. Even so, she tried to trust the middle-aged woman because this was the only clue she had.

Naila nodded faintly, "Since earlier, I haven't seen anyone, has the atmosphere in this complex always been like this, Madam?" asked Naila who couldn't stand her curiosity anymore.

"Okay, thanks again. Then we'll excuse ourselves first," said Naila while bowing in respect.

The middle-aged woman simply nodded, "Be careful, Miss."

Hearing that, Naila smiled and started walking. One of her hands gripped Dave's hand.

"Auntie, who was that?" .the boy asked breaking the sound of their footsteps.

"Ah, I don't know, honey."

"You know her, Aunty?"

Naila shook her head.

"Auntie, don't do it again. My mother once said that following strangers is very dangerous," Dave said innocently.

Naila who heard that smiled again, "Okay, honey. Auntie won't do it again," said Naila.

"If my father finds out, my mother will get mad at you," Dave said again. His voice sounded hoarse, maybe because she was so thirsty?

"But Aunty don't worry, Dave will keep this a secret from Mom," he added and it managed to make Naila chuckle.
