He nodded and said, “Good. Since this is confirmed, I would like to mov our wedding
date up. I want to get married as soon as possible.”
“Anything you say.” I nodded.
Lance glanced at me with a raised eyebrow, “Somebody seems to be a good girl today.”
“Didn‘t you say you like obedient woman?” I asked.
“Hm, true.” Lance nodded and shrugged.
I knew Lance wouldn‘t try to scam me using this child, I know him very well. He wouldn‘t love a random
child this much, so Lexi is really our daughter. The love and care he gave her, and the way he spoils he
r, it all seemed too real
and natural. It didn‘t seem fake or pretentious at all.
I didn‘t know why, but Lance had
been very cold towards me since the accident, it has been half a month. He used to want to kiss or touc
h me when he gets home, but now he would just do his own thing and ignored me.
Might because he heard me and Leo‘s conversation. Well, it didn‘t harm me in any way so I didn‘t care.
Niklaus texted me: Remember Rupert Robinson?
Me: Yes
I remembered he was thrown into jail, why was Niklaus bringing him up?
Niklaus: He‘s out, someone bailed him out. Do you know anyone named Anthony Smith?
Anthony Smith, Lance‘s neighbour who added me on social medias too.
Me: Yes, Lance‘s neighbour in Denmark. Why?
Niklaus: He was the one who bailed
Rupert out.
I was confused, what the hell did Anthony want? Why did he bail Rupert out?
Niklaus: You can ask Anthony why he did it when you see him. Now, the thing you promised me, how is
it?
We agreed
on a deal. Niklaus would help me fake an accident, while I will try to sneak some data from Leo‘s lab.
Lance had been expanding in this area, and Leo is a scientist, and he is really, really good with his job.
Niklaus wanted the information, so that he could profit and get some benefits too, plus
he also wanted Lance to fail.
So, we found each other and
agreed on a deal.
I wanted to meet Leo, but he had been avoiding me, plus it would be very difficult for me to steal from L © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
ance!
Me: Help me do one more thing. Niklaus: Shoot
Me: I want details and information of Anthony Smith.
Niklaus: Deal.
I needed to make some time for myself to get the information, so I asked Niklaus to check about Antho
ny for me. I didn‘t really trust Nik fully, he tried to betray me once, so I had to be extra careful this time.
I deleted out chat history from WhatsApp and put my phone aside.
Lance came back in the evening and tossed me a paper bag. There was a dress in it.
I took out the dress. It was
stunning, a little revealing yet formal enough. Just like how Lance like it.
“What‘s this?” I asked, confused.
“You are coming with me to a dinner tonight.” Lance said.
“I don‘t think I am suitable for that.” I said.
Lance raised an eyebrow. I explained, “I‘m not Mrs Mason and people might think I‘m still the mistress.”
Lance knitted his eyebrows together and said, “Don‘t talk nonsense, go put it on and put on some make
up.”
I put on some light makeup and the dress. When I came out of the closet, Lance stared at me and
said, “Your eyebrow looks weird.”
What the hell, what does he know about makeup?
Trolled my eyes. He came to me
and said, “The shape of your face isn‘t suitable for straight brows, I think arched–
brows would be better.”
