Chapter 654: I Hope You Stay Away from Me_1

Unrecognized.

A strange number.

With irritation smudged in the corners of her eyes, Nathalie Quinlan picked up the phone call and held the phone to her ear.

"Hello?"

Her voice was hoarse.

Cold and dry.

Thick with nasal congestion.

The person on the other end of the phone seemed surprised that she had answered, hesitating for a full two or three seconds before responding with restrained enthusiasm in a low voice, "Is this Nathalie Quinlan?"

Nathalie frowned, glanced back at the phone display, noting the location wasn't McKinney but a Beijing number.

Quite annoyed, she got up from bed, slipped on her slippers, and pulled open her wardrobe while distractedly saying, "Yes, it's me. What's up?"

The person on the other end confirmed they hadn't dialed the wrong number.

And immediately introduced themselves: "Hello, Miss Quinlan, I am a teacher in charge of recruiting at Southern University."
