Chapter 365

Evelyn shook her wrist, brushing off the disappointment of her failed bird hunt.

She crouched low, fingers gently parting the fallen leaves as her sharp eyes scanned for clues.

"Cottontail!" she whispered suddenly, pointing at the tracks and droppings on the ground.

Ethan moved closer and smirked. "Looks like we're having a feast tonight."

They moved silently through the trees like stalking leopards. Evelyn raised her hand in a sudden halt, gaze locking onto a gray blur ahead.

Her combat knife slid free with a practiced flick of her wrist.

Whoosh—

The blade flashed. The rabbit dropped instantly.

"Clean shot." Ethan nodded approvingly, though his brow twitched at the sight of blood.

Evelyn grabbed the rabbit and tossed it at him without looking. "Catch!"

He reflexively caught it but held it at arm's length, keeping his clothes pristine. His exasperated sigh went unnoticed as she was already sprinting after the next prey.

"Evelyn!" He broke into a run. "Slow down!"

Above them, a drone circled, capturing their rapid pursuit through the forest.

The production crew erupted into chaos. Timothy gripped his walkie-talkie. "Evelyn! Stop right now!"

The live chat exploded:

[That speed is insane! Is she an athlete?]

[CEO Ethan chasing after her is so hot!]

[RIP cameraman]

Victoria paled as she watched the tracking screen. "They're heading straight for the restricted zone!"

Evelyn's world narrowed to the fleeing gray target. With a burst of speed, she launched forward and tackled the rabbit mid-leap.
