Chapter 1559 The Beautiful Sonia
Lorraine’s expression shifted slightly, and she no longer appeared as calm as before.
Leaning heavily against the backseat, she was so still that the only giveaway to her wakefulness was the persistent massaging of her temples.
Lorraine mumbled, ‘‘She’d better not be lying to me, or she’ll be in hot water.’‘
As she spoke, the woman exuded a cold, ominous aura, causing the chauffeur and her subordinate to stiffen in fear. Instantly, the car plunged into silence.
The chauffeur no longer dared to peek at the temperamental woman in the backseat and turned his full attention to the road.
On the other hand, Lorraine’s subordinate in the front passenger seat composed himself quickly after a brief change in his expression.
He piped up, ‘‘That was just an offhanded comment. She might be telling the truth. There’s no need to become so tense.’‘
However, his words did not raise Lorraine out of her funk. Instead, she looked out the window and murmured, ‘‘What do you all think of Sonia?’‘
‘‘She’s beautiful!’‘ answered the chauffeur unthinkingly.
His answer drew a laugh out of Lorraine. She chortled and said, ‘‘You’re right! She’s beautiful!’‘
Her reaction befuddled the chauffeur, who settled for a few awkward laughs in response. Lorraine did not say anything more and fell back into contemplative silence.
Her hotel was not that far from Sonia’s house, and they arrived in no time, especially since the chauffeur deliberately drove faster.
Immediately, Lorraine spotted the police from afar.
‘‘Ms. Lorraine, this appears rather troublesome. Why are there policemen in front of her house?’‘ The chauffeur shot Lorraine a cautious look.
‘‘Can’t you see? Sonia lives in General Lawrence’s house! You two, stay in the car.’‘
When they heard that Lorraine planned to retrieve the bag herself, both men piped up, ‘‘You can’t! Are you sure you can get in alone, Ms. Lorraine? What if you get into danger? We can help you if we accompany you inside.’‘
‘‘What danger can possibly befall me? I’m just here to get something. I’ll attract too much attention if you two follow me. Just wait here.’‘ Without giving them a chance to argue, Lorraine hastily scribbled something on a piece of paper and stuffed it in her pocket.
Then, she alighted from the car and smoothed out her clothes. She instantly rid herself of her cold aura and assumed a new persona. The woman was nothing short of a chameleon.
Although Lorraine did not share Sonia’s incredible beauty, she had a natural penchant for garnering the affection of the opposite sex.
Her red heels click-clacked across the ground as she sauntered through the gate of Sonia’s house. She was about to walk in as if it were her own home.
When the security guard stopped her, she said, ‘‘Don’t you remember me? I still remember you. I’m Sonia’s friend and here to help her get something.’‘
‘‘Are you?’‘ The security guard shot her a suspicious look.
Nonetheless, he was merely asking out of formality as he already believed her words.
Lorraine observed his expression before declaring peevishly, ‘‘I’ve come here before. You just don’t remember!’‘
Then, before the guard could stop her, she turned and entered the compound.
Soon enough, Lorraine snuck into the house and made her way to Sonia’s room.
She immediately darted into the room and rummaged for her bag.
Her bag was indeed stored in the wardrobe just as Sonia had claimed. Without delay, Lorraine lunged toward the bag and opened it.
She heaved a sigh of relief when she confirmed that no one had touched her things.
