Chapter 72 An Unexpected Encounter

• Daniel had been thinking about Greg’s offhand remark for days. His friend had mentioned that he might have seen Natalie—or someone who looked a lot like her—at a mall in the coastal city. Ever since seeing that ad about natalies cosmetics brand and remembering seeing the same name in Europe, he couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to Natalie and her brand than met the eye.
• It was a warm Saturday morning when Daniel finally decided to check out the mall Greg had mentioned. He didn't have much planned for the day, so it seemed like the perfect opportunity to satisfy his curiosity. The coastal city wasn't too far from where he lived, and the drive would give him time to clear his head.
• Daniel had never been one to frequent malls, but as he walked through the entrance, he was struck by the sheer number of people bustling around. The place was vibrant and alive, a hub of activity with shops of all kinds lining the corridors. He wandered aimlessly for a while, peering into shop windows without much interest, just observing the flow of life around him.
