Jessica’s cheeks blushed as she confessed, “The vice president was drunk once, and he came to my room to tell me he would give me a life I couldn’t expect…” “He went to your room, drunk? Don’t tell me you guys…”
Sensing his scrutiny, the redness on Jessica’s cheeks grew even more intense. “I already belong to Mr. Sullivan,” Jessica muttered softly, lowering her head.
Not knowing what to say, Jared forced an awkward smile and continued to stuff food into his mouth. While they were eating, a weird feeling as though someone was watching him crept up his back.
Jared scrunched his brows at the unpleasant feeling before unleashing his spiritual sense. A smile curved his lips shortly after, and he withdrew his spiritual sense.
“What’s wrong, Mr. Chance?” Jessica asked curiously when she noticed the swift change in his expression. “It’s nothing. Let’s eat. I suppose someone can’t wait any longer,” Jared said with a smile. “Can’t wait any longer? Who’s waiting for us?”
Jessica was perplexed. “You’ll know in a while. Let’s eat.” Jared hurriedly finished his food. After they finished eating and paid for the food, Jared followed Jessica out of the restaurant.
Jared might look like he was strolling casually down the streets, but he was observing the person following them stealthily. Meanwhile, Kayson stood at a corner down the street. “Are you ready? They’re almost here,” he asked his eight subordinates.
“Everything is ready, Mr. Zagorski. Rest assured,” one of his subordinates replied.
“Great!” Kayson nodded with satisfaction, and the corners of his lips curled up into a smile. “Since that dipsh*t dares to hit my face, I’ll let him feel the power of the Zagorski family’s Soul Binding Chains.”
When Jared and Jessica reached the corner, the latter frowned at the fleeting sense of danger.
“Something’s wrong, Mr. Chance. This place. should be bustling with people, but why is it so quiet?” Jessica said with alarm as she became wary of their surroundings.
“Maybe they all went home after a meal. There’s nothing strange about it.” Jared assured her with a smile before continuing forward.
“Mr. Chance, watch out for any ambush. I sense something is not right here.” Jessica swiftly stepped in front of Jared and cautiously scanned both sides of the street.
Anxiety filled Kayson, who was hiding in the corner, as he watched Jessica block Jared from walking forward. If Jared doesn’t come nearer, he can’t walk into the trap I set.
“F*ck! This b*tch better not ruin my plan!” Kayson cussed as he hid in the dark. “You’re being too cautious, Ms. Zimmerman. I think it’s quite safe here. Don’t worry.”
Jared shoved Jessica aside and continued walking. Jared’s stupidity filled Kayson with glee. This dumb’ss! Fate is on my side!
Keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings, Jessica slowly reached for her sword and rested her hand on the hilt in case of any unexpected threat.
Jared turned the corner and saw the street was desolate. With a sweep of his gaze, he continued walking ahead nonchalantly with a faint smile.
Kayson clenched his fists tightly, his palm. clammy from all the nervous sweat. Jared was so close to walking into the trap. when he abruptly came to a halt.
Kayson’s heart almost jumped out of his throat at that point. His entire body was strung tight with tension. Walk into it! A bit more! Walk into it! Kayson pleaded silently.
“You said it was dangerous, Ms. Zimmerman, but I don’t see anything.” Jared turned around and even took two steps back to speak with Jessica.
Jessica scanned the surroundings again. Even though she could sense danger, she wasn’t sure about it. When she saw no threat, she let down her guard. “Maybe I’m too sensitive,” Jessica commented.
