"Wait! What are you going to do with that big amount of money?!" Henry asked Natalie.
They are currently in the living room at Henry's apartment.
Natalie looked at Henry, " Uh, I'm... I'm going to use it for a personal reason." Natalie replied.
Yes! This is her main reason why she wanted to meet him, she wanted to lend money from him for her escape plan.
"Hey!" Henry glanced at Natalie, " I'm sure you have this amount from your savings right? Or why don't you ask your Mom and Dad for this amount, huh?" Henry asked.
Natalie pursed her lips. "I... I can't!" She replied. She tried her best not to show her anxiousness.
Henry knitted his brows and ask," Why not?"
"Uhm." Natalie think of an acceptable reason.
"Uhm... I mean, I can't withdraw this kind of amount. Because, because you know, there's a minimum amount that can be withdrawn in the card [ATM] and that amount can't reach the amount of money that I needed." Natalie explained.
(And my parents might notice that I am planning something!)Natalie secretly added.
"Hey Henry! Are you really my friend or not?" Natalie asked with pouted mouth.
"Of course I am!" Henry replied.
"Then, can you lend me money or not?" Natalie asked again.
Henry did not response to Natalie, instead he just stared at her little face.
After a while he speak, "And what makes you think that I will lend you money?"
"Hmmm..." Natalie cupped her little face while looking up as if she's thinking for the best answer.
"Because... because you love me!"
Henry almost choked from Natalie's last four words.
He suddenly felt nervous!
Did she finally notice that?
But before his mind went wild, Natalie continued to speak.
"I am your bestfriend, therefore you love me! And I know you can't say no to the people you love!" Natalie revealed her charming smile. "And besides, I am so much in need of money so please..." Natalie acted so pittiful.
"..."
Henry was speechless.
I thought she finally notice me.
Henry tried to calm his self before he speak.
"Eh! Who's in so much need of money?" Henry asked Natalie as if he had just misheard what she said.
Natalie pouted her mouth again. "Of course me!" She replied.
"How come an heiress like you can be in so much need of money? You can even get everything that you want!" Henry joked.
Natalie frozed for a moment.
Yeah I can have the material things that I want, but not my freedom!
Natalie secretly sigh.
Henry noticed her change of expression and his cheerful smile slowly faded away.
"Hey! Did I said something wrong?" Henry asked.
Natalie shooked her head. "No." She replied. "Can't you really lend me money?" She asked pitifully and her shoulders slowly dropped.
Henry looked at Natalie's pitiful look.
Is she really serious?
She really wanted to lend money from me?
Henry did not take it seriously earlier, because he thought that Natalie is just kidding him.
"Hey!" Henry patted Natalie's shoulder. "Are you really serious?" He asked.
He want to make sure that she's not kidding him.
Natalie nodded her head ligthly. "Hmmm..."
"Oh! I thought that you're just playing a prank on me!" Henry said.
"Why? Do I looked like I'm just fooling around?" Natalie make her expression even more pitifull!
"Aish!" This is his weakness! To see Natalie's pitiful face!
"Alright! Alright!" Henry finally give up. "I will lend you money!" He said and then he took a pen and a blank check.
"How much do you need?" Henry asked.
Natalie's eyes lit up!
Her pitiful expression suddenly becomes cheerful!
He instantly told Henry the amount the she needed.
Henry write the amount that Natalie said and write his signature before he gave it to her.
"Here!" Henry stretched his hand which is holding the check.
Natalie revealed a wide smile and took the check from Henry.
She read the six digit numbers that was writtten on the check.
"Thank you!" Natalie said to Henry with sincerity.
She took her ATM card from her wallet and gave it to Henry.
Henry knitted his brows while looking at the card in his hand.
"What is this?" He asked.
"You can withdraw my payment here." She replied. "By the way, please don't tell my Mom and Dad about this." Natalie waved the check. "And one thing! Please withdraw my payment after one month." She added.
"Alright!" Henry replied without asking her a questions.
"I have to go. I still have to prepare---" Natalie froze...
Oh my god! I almost told him!
Natalie secretly bit her tongue.
"I mean... I have to... to... to prepare... for... my ...my beauty rest! You know! Ladies! We need a beauty rest!" Natalie forced a smile.
"Alright, alright!" Henry rolled his eyes. "You can go now!" He said as he gestured her to go.
"Alright! Bye!" She said and then she pick up her hanndbag and left Henry's place.
Henry's sight followed Natalie.
He feel something strange, why do I feel something is going to happen?
Henry sigh. Perhaps, I am just thinking too much?
Henry shook his head to set aside his negative thoughts.

As soon as Natalie get back home, she instantly took her passport from the drawer of her table.
Natalie took a deep breath.
She took a pen and a piece of paper and write a letter for her parents.
After a while, she put it at the top of her bedside table.
She took her medium sized bag and she stuffed some important document inside it before she get out of her room and headed outside of their mansion.
Aside from her passport and other important documents, Natalie did not bring other personal belongings to avoide suspicion from her bodyguards.
No one would really suspect that she has a plan to runaway from home, because she looked natural as usual.
Her bodyguards quickly approached her as soon as they saw her got out from the mansion.
"Young Miss, where are you going?" One of the bodyguards asked politely.
Natalie's footsteps came to a stop. "I want to go to the mall for shopping." She replied.
"Alright, young Miss." The bodyguard replied, " I'll get ready the car." And then he bowed his head and quickly get the black mercedes benz. The other bodyguard boarded at the same car with Natalie while the other two boarded on the other car and followed them.
"Wait! What are you going to do with that big amount of money?!" Henry asked Natalie.
They are currently in the living room at Henry's apartment.
