"Has your Big Boss returned? I want to see him."
"He just got back."
Nora Brown’s face lit up with joy.
"He’s gone again."
"Gone?" Nora frowned, "Why did he leave so quickly? I haven’t even seen him yet."
"Ha." Eliana Shaw sneered speechlessly, crossing her arms and looking at Nora Brown, "Our Big Boss has to wait according to your schedule then."
"I..." Nora bit her lip, wanting to argue with Felix Shaw, but thinking of Felix’s skills and her stern deanor earlier, she decided against it.
She couldn’t defeat her.
She hesitated, then asked, "When can I see him?"
"You can’t. The Big Boss asked to send you back tomorrow. I’m just informing you. Be up early tomorrow, six thirty, not a minute later."
After speaking, Felix was about to leave.
"Wait." Nora hurriedly reached out to grab Felix’s clothes.
Felix looked down at the hand clutching her clothes, then coldly lifted her eyes.
Nora imdiately let go, "I don’t want to go back yet. I ca all this way just to see him. If I leave now, won’t it all be for nothing?"
"What can you do? Our Big Boss is very busy, and he didn’t ask you to co in the first place." Felix’s straightforward words left Nora fuming.
But how could Nora just go back like that, unwilling to leave these riches and luxury?
Moreover, if she went back, how was she supposed to explain to the Sanders family about Zoey Sanders’ death?
No, she had to find a way to stay.
"Alright, the al is ready. Co down and eat."
With a sullen face, Nora turned and went downstairs.
Felix was about to follow her downstairs when a phone rang in the room, "Hello, your phone..."
Nora was already downstairs.
Felix initially didn’t want to bother with it but thought she’d bring it down to her.
Felix entered the room, quickly locating the phone from beneath the covers by following the sound.
Muttering to herself, she retrieved it, "Why hide it under the blanket."
As she took out the phone, her eyes fell on the screen showing the contact na: Hope Sister-in-law.
Seeing it was Hope Williams.
Felix began to descend the stairs while answering the call, "Hello, Sister Hope, hold on, Zoey Sanders just went downstairs. I’ll bring it to her."
Hope paused slightly, "Is that... Felix?"
"It’s . I didn’t expect Sister Hope could still recognize my voice after so long," Felix replied with a hint of laughter.
"Of course, Zoey has reached you guys, right?"
"Yes, she just went down for dinner, left her phone upstairs."
Upon hearing Zoey was on Liam Cloud’s turf, Hope felt relieved.
"Good, I just called to check if she arrived safely. If so, I feel relieved."
"She arrived recently. It’s very safe, you can rest assured."
"Okay." Hope responded, and at that mont, a nurse’s voice called her from the side. Hope told Felix, "I have a few things here, so for now, this is it. Help remind her to stay safe."
"Sure, Sister Hope, I’ll definitely pass it on."
"Thank you."
Hanging up, Felix reached the bottom of the stairs, handing the phone to Nora Brown, "Call from Sister Hope."
Nora, who was eating, stood up imdiately upon seeing Zoey Sanders’ phone.
With a "bang,"
Her knee hit the table, and she inhaled sharply from the pain.
Seeing her agitation, Felix frowned slightly, "Why are you so excited?"
Nora ignored the pain, quickly grasping the phone, the panic on her face barely concealed.
Felix felt suspicion.
Nora quickly ca up with words to cover it, "Nothing, she... What did she say?"
Felix’s eyes narrowed dangerously, "No, that expression isn’t excitent. It’s panic."
As soone who’s been an assassin for so many years, she’s seen these expressions countless tis.
Panic, nervousness, fear.
These expressions were vividly on her face now.
Felix grasped Nora Brown’s slightly trembling shoulders and asked, "What are you afraid of?"
Nora’s eyelids twitched, forcing herself to say, "Who’s afraid? What do I have to fear? I’m not afraid."
Felix also wanted to know what she was afraid of.
"Really? If not afraid, then don’t shake."
Nora forced herself to calm down, mustering the courage to et Felix’s gaze, "With your intimidating aura, how can I not be afraid?"
"Is that so?"
Nora nodded vigorously, "Yes."
Of course, Felix didn’t believe her.
Her evasive eyes told her she was lying.
But she really couldn’t pinpoint what scared her at the mont.
Felix withdrew her suspicious gaze and let her go for now.
"Sister Hope instructed you to stay safe," Felix coldly stated.
"Oh, I got it." Nora quickly lowered her head, hiding her panic inside.
"Alright, enjoy your al. Don’t wander around after eating, this isn’t a place for casual wandering."
"Okay, I understand." Nora nodded.
Felix gazed intently at her, then turned to give the nearby servants a couple of looks, instructing them to keep an eye on her.
