Chapter 383 A Man’s Scent

Delilah froze upon seeing Caty curl herself up in the suitcase. Was this really possible? “This way, you can go straight to the garage later and put me in the trunk to transport me out!” “What if they find out?” Delilah was worried. “They don’t have the right to search your car, so don’t worry!” Caty said. She studied law before, so Delilah believed what she said. Delilah also nodded. “Alright, I got it!” Thus, after putting Caty in the suitcase, she began to move it downstairs. Aunt Joyce immediately came up when she saw Delilah hefting the suitcase. “Ms. Collins, where are you going?!” “It’s fine, I’ll do it myself!” Delilah said. Aunt Joyce’s hand froze in the air before finally retreating. “I’ll come back after I deliver this to the company. You go on with your work. Don’t mind me!” Delilah said. Aunt Joyce nodded and did not help anymore. Fortunately, the garage could be reached by passing through the back garden. Delilah pushed the suitcase from behind and put it in the trunk. After shutting the trunk, she took a deep breath and got into the car. Delilah had a docile personality and had never done something like this before, so she was extremely nervous. Her car just reached the entrance when she was stopped by someone. It was the officer from earlier. “Ms. Collins, where are you going at this late hour?” The officer looked at her and asked. Delilah looked at him. “Is it any of your concern where I go? Also, why haven’t you left yet? What are you doing here?” The officer took the opportunity to look into her car and see if there was anyone inside. “I’m here to protect Ms. Collins, of course. What if Caty Davis came back here and hurt you?” Delilah frowned at the fact that he was surveilling her under the guise of protection. “I don’t need your protection. Please leave immediately!” “That won’t do. It’s our duty to protect the public!” “Why are you so annoying?!” The officer smiled at Delilah. “I’m sorry for making you worry, but it’s for your safety. Please bear with it!” “Bear with it? Did you understand a word of what I said? Also, this isn’t called protection, it’s called surveillance. I can lodge a complaint about you!” Delilah said impatiently. Obviously, this was not enough to threaten and scare the person in front of her. The man raised his eyebrows. “I’m Tim Burr. Feel free to lodge a complaint!” “Timber?” Delilah frowned. “It’s Tim Burr!” Delilah was obviously not interested. “Ok, just you wait!” Tim smiled. “Can I leave now? Or do you want to search the car too?!” Delilah asked. Tim raised his brows. He did not have the right to do that. Even if he had his suspicions, he would not cross the line. Watching him give way, Delilah drove away. Tim frowned as he watched the car disappear. “Boss, what do we do now?” Tim found it strange and frowned. “Go in and ask the nanny again!” “Got it!” Tim stood where he was, thinking about the conversation with Delilah earlier, wondering what felt off. At that moment, the person who went in ran back out. “Boss, the nanny said that Delilah Collins left with a luggage bag!” “A luggage bag?” “Yes, it seemed very big and the nanny wanted to help, but Delilah Collins stopped her!” Tim immediately felt that something was wrong. “Get in the car. We’re going after her!” They immediately got in the car and chased after Delilah. “Faster, go faster!” “Boss, she’s driving a sports car, while ours is… We can’t catch up no matter how fast we are!” Tim sighed and thought about it before immediately taking out his phone. “Yeah, it’s me, Tim Burr from the Southern District Branch. There’s something I need your help with… Yes, the car plate number is 899!” After hanging up, the person sitting next to him said, “Boss, you’re so smart!” “Stop talking nonsense and drive. Don’t think of getting off work if you don’t find her!” Tim said. The person really stopped talking and started driving seriously. Tim gripped his phone. No one knew what he was thinking of. …… At Delilah’s side. As she drove, she turned directly into a jungle path halfway down the road. Then, the car stopped. She got down from the car and opened the trunk and suitcase. At that moment, Caty was laying inside. “Hurry!” Delilah said. Caty looked around and crept out of the car. “I’ll leave now. Take care, Ms. Collins!” Caty said. “Wait!” Delilah suddenly spoke. Caty looked at her. “Take this. It’ll last you for a while!” “I-I can’t take this!” “You have to take it!” Delilah stuffed it into her hands. Caty looked at her, not knowing what to say. “Now go. Go as far as you can and never come back!” Delilah said. “I’ll look for you again!” Caty looked at her and turned away reluctantly. Delilah sighed helplessly and only came back to her senses when she saw Caty walk away. She tidied up the suitcase and closed the trunk before getting in the car. After driving for a while, she saw a checkpoint in front. Delilah glanced at it and drove the car over. Just as she reached, someone waved at her, and Delilah stopped in front of him. Someone came up to her after she wound down the window. “Ms. Collins…” Delilah frowned upon seeing Tim. “Why is it you again? Aren’t you a police officer? What are you doing out here?” “The police are responsible for everything, and the most important thing is the safety of the public!” Tim smiled. “Ms. Collins, please get out of the car and open the trunk. We’d like to inspect it!” Delilah glanced at him and wordlessly opened the trunk. Tim shot a look at the people behind him, who immediately went to check. “Please hurry up. I still have something to do back at the office!” Delilah said. “Don’t worry, Ms. Collins. It’ll be over soon!” Tim also said with a smile. Delilah did not say anything and waited in the car. “Boss!” Someone said. Tim looked over, but the person shook his head. Tim immediately went over and frowned when he saw the empty suitcase. “How could this be?” At that moment, the car door opened and Delilah walked out. Her three-inch heels clicked on the ground as she placed her arms on the car and looked at Tim with an amused expression. “How is it? Did you find anything?” Tim did not look happy. “Where is she?” “Where is who? I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Tim could not control himself and went straight to her, grabbing her and pressing her against the car. “Where is she?” He most likely did not know how ambiguous this position and distance were. It was as if the two had known each other for a long time. Even Delilah was stunned. She looked at him, suddenly baffled. The people behind Tim were also shocked. Did their boss… get affected by the sudden force of attraction?! “W-What are you doing?” Delilah stammered out. “Don’t you know that she’s a fugitive now? Do you know how many people she could harm now that she has escaped?!” Tim asked fiercely. Delilah blinked owlishly, not knowing what to say. “What has that got to do with me?” “Fine, then tell me. What are you doing outside with an empty suitcase so late at night?” Tim asked. Even though they knew how Caty Davis came out, why was she suddenly gone? “Is it wrong for me to go out with an empty suitcase? Is that illegal?” Delilah retorted. “Please answer me!!” Tim said word by word. Delilah nodded. “I want to take the case back to the company to fill with some stuff. What’s wrong? Is there a problem with that?” Delilah asked. Tim looked at her and nodded. “Fine, very good!” “I’m telling you, I can sue you for doing this!” Delilah said word by word. At that moment, the people behind Tim came back to their senses and pulled him away. “Boss, calm down!” Only then did Tim snap back to reality. He saw himself pressed against Delilah’s body and pulled away awkwardly. “I didn’t mean it!” Delilah’s cheeks inexplicably reddened. Fortunately, it was nighttime, so it could not be seen clearly. She cleared her throat. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving!” “Wait!” “Do you still need something?” Delilah asked and looked at Tim, frowning. “If you keep pestering me like this, I’ll really file a complaint against you!” “I just want to tell you that I won’t let this go!” Tim said to her. His face was not that handsome, but his masculinity exuded a unique personality charm. “Let’s talk about that when you have evidence!” Then, Delilah no longer stayed and got into the car, immediately driving off. Tim was furious. At that moment, a person standing by the side said, “This can’t be. Could Caty Davis still be in her home?” “Is there someone keeping watch there?” Tim asked. “Yes, I’ll make a call to ask!” Tim nodded and stood where he was, still deep in thought. Before long, the person returned. “Boss, there’s no news from over there. There’s no movement at all!” “That’s what’s weird about this!” Tim exclaimed. “There must be something wrong!” “Did she let Caty escape somewhere along the way?” “Wasn’t she in sight the whole time?” “I heard that they lost her for a few minutes along the way!” Tim narrowed his eyes. “That must be it!” “What do we do now?” “Now, we go check. Even if she ran, I want to know where she ran to!” Tim said word by word. The man behind him nodded. “Right, I’ll get to it immediately!” Tim stood where he was, looking at the direction Delilah disappeared in. His brows knitted. …… As Delilah drove, her heart was racing inexplicably and her face was red. When he came close to her and she smelled the scent of his body and saw his resolute face, she had felt very strange. “Damn it, he took advantage of me!” Although that was what she said, her face only reddened. She looked at the road ahead and took a deep breath.
