Chapter 370 - Agreement with Nicolae (1/2)
Aleksis looked at Nicolae with a pleading face, ”Please, don't tell Uncle Rory ... I don't want him to worry. Prince Siegfried is kind to me. He won't ever hurt me.”
Nicolae did not answer. He then took out a tablet from his bag and pretended not to listen to Aleksis. He quickly fiddled with something on his tablet then gave it to Carl at the front seat.
”I collected the images from all CCTV cameras around the campus to look for the two suspicious people who wanted to kidnap Aleksis yesterday. You can see that in these 3 pictures, both their faces are clearly visible, as well as the car they use. I recommend that you take us to campus first, and later you guys can take care of those people.”
”Oh ... that is fast ...” Carl murmured in admiration. He received Nicolae's tablet and checked all the information. ”Hmm ... we will have them before the day ends.”
Aleksis looked at Nicolae in admiration. Just like that? Nicolae hacked all the cameras on campus and could find the criminals who wanted to kidnap Aleksis? He made it look very easy.
In that case, Nicolae should also be able to find her phone-watch, thought Aleksis.
The girl immediately faced Nicolae and put on her most beautiful smile.
”Nic ... do you want to help me find my watch?” Aleksis' beautiful pair of blue-green eyes glazed like a puppy's. Finally, Nicolae's heart melted. He nodded and fiddled with his tablet and two minutes later showed it to Aleksis.
”She took your watch.”
”Oh ... I know her! I will immediately meet her at the dorm,” said Aleksis. She saw a CCTV footage on Nicolae's tablet which showed Rosemary walking to where Aleksis last stood before Nicolae pulled her into the car. The girl looked surprised to see something and then bent down and picked up something from the ground.
She picked up Aleksis' phone-watch, studied it briefly as if she was thinking, then walked away.
”Carl, let's go straight to the dormitory. I have to find Rosemary,” Aleksis said. ”Hope she's still in the room.”
”Hmm ... why don't we just check the class schedule?” Nicolae asked, ”If we go to the dormitory, and it turns out she's having a class on campus, then we will be wasting time.”
”But I don't know Rosemary's class schedule, we are not in the same department,” said Aleksis.
Nicolae sighed and lightly tapped Aleksis' forehead, then pointed at his tablet as if reminding the girl that he was able to find out whatever information he wanted with a tap of his fingers.
”See, here ... She has class until 10 o'clock in Building C.” Nicolae glanced at his watch, ”Looks like you're too late if you want to meet her now. It would be better for you to go to your class first, then after your first lesson, you can meet with her. She has no more classes after that. Don't you need to go to Professor Rodriguez's class?”
Aleksis widened her eyes again, ”You ... you also know my class schedule?! What the hell do you not know?”
Nicolae patted Aleksis's forehead again and then pointed at his tablet and shook his head.
Ugh ... Aleksis finally realized Nicolae was right. She had better go to class and apologize to Ian for flaking on him yesterday and not coming to his party. Then, after the first class she could rush to see Rosemary.
”Do you have class today?” Aleksis asked him.
”I don't have any classes left. I'm a final year student, I go to campus just to teach general lectures and show off my good looks to new students,” Nicolae replied nonchalantly.
The truth was that he was very happy to work in the campus library because he had set up special security so that he could work freely there. Plus, the place was very unappealing, so perfect for him to hide away.
But, he did not intend to tell all this to Aleksis, bearing in mind that the girl had a fairly close relationship with the leader of Rhionen Assassins. He didn't know yet how close she was to him. Nicolae did not want to take the risk.
