Lorraine’s expression shifted slightly, and favonovel.com no longer appeared as calm as before.
Leaning heavily against the backseat, favonovel.com was so still that the only giveaway to favonovel.com wakefulness was the persistent massaging of favonovel.com temples.
Lorraine mumbled, “She’d better not be lying to me, or she’ll be in hot water.”
As favonovel.com spoke, the woman exuded a cold, ominous aura, causing the chauffeur and favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com funk. Instead, favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com pocket.
Then, favonovel.com alighted from the car and smoothed out favonovel.com clothes. She instantly rid herself of favonovel.com cold aura and assumed a new persona. The woman was nothing short of a chameleon.
Although Lorraine did not share Sonia’s incredible beauty, favonovel.com had a natural penchant for garnering the affection of the opposite sex. Her red heels click-clacked across the ground as favonovel.com sauntered through the gate of Sonia’s house. She was about to walk in as if it were favonovel.com own home.
When the security guard stopped her, favonovel.com said, “Don’t you remember me? I still remember you. I’m Sonia’s friend and here to help favonovel.com get something.”
“Are you?” The security guard shot favonovel.com a suspicious look.
Nonetheless, favonovel.com was merely asking out of formality as favonovel.com already believed favonovel.com 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, favonovel.com turned and entered the compound.
Soon enough, Lorraine snuck into the house and made favonovel.com way to Sonia’s room. She immediately darted into the room and rummaged for favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com confirmed that no one had touched favonovel.com things.
