Desiree was in a mess, retreating with her hands supporting her body on the ground. She was unable to stop
shaking and cried at the top of her lungs.
In stark contrast, the janitor remained surprisingly calm, silencing Desiree with a cloth.
“You’re annoying,” the janitor stated.
“Mmph!” Desiree struggled in panic.
“Don’t tell anyone about the gun, get it?” the janitor threatened.
Desiree widened her eyes.
Even Lina was stunned.
The janitor had chased after Desiree to prevent anyone from finding out that Lina had a gun. After all, the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThompsons were now involved in legitimate business, and their reputation could be damaged if this information got
out.
However, Lina couldn’t recall having any contact with this person, no matter how hard she thought.
Why would she help her?
Fearful and unable to do anything else, Desiree could only nod and cry.
After removing the cloth, the janitor let Desiree go. The latter hastily crawled and ran away.
Lina’s heart raced as she stood outside the bathroom’s remote corridor. The mysterious janitor, shorter than her,
emitted an eerie chill that seemed to engulf the entire space. Even if Ian and his men came now, it might be too
late to stop her if she intended to harm Lina.
Lina bit her lip, her body stiff with fear. She couldn’t help but clench her fists.
The janitor still held her gun. As she walked toward Lina, the latter noticed a vase nearby and considered using it to
stall her if she tried to harm her.
But to Lina’s surprise, the janitor handed her the gun and said, “Here.”
The ringing in Lina’s ears drowned out her thoughts. “You…”
The janitor pressed down her cap and remained silent.
Just as Lina took the gun from the janitor’s hand, the latter paused for a moment, caressing the word “Krys” on the
gun handle.
Then, the janitor turned around and disappeared at the end of the corridor.
It took Lina quite some time to snap back to her senses. It felt like she had just woken up from a dream. The janitor
came and left, leaving no name behind, as if she were only a fleeting figure in Lina’s mind.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen Lina left the bar, Zuko and Ian were waiting for her with the rest.
“Are you okay, miss?” Ian asked.
Lina shook her head mechanically.
Upon seeing her beaten look, Zuko’s heart squeezed with concern. He hugged her gently and asked, “Who were the
people you met for the investment meeting today?”
“The founders of a few enterprises,” Lina replied vaguely. “They were influential women, but we couldn’t reach a
common ground. So we left after a short time.”
Zuko inquired about Desiree, and Lina hesitated. She knew Desiree had fled through the bar’s back door, but she
couldn’t figure out who the janitor was.
Initially, she planned to investigate herself, but upon seeing Zuko, she found herself relying on him. She wanted his
opinion on everything.
“Zuko…” Lina hesitated before deciding to share everything with him. “Can you help me find out about someone?”
