Chapter 1867


    Although Francesca was shocked to hear that, she remained calm and collected. “I''ve heard of that


    person before. She''s quite something, right?


    “Yes. She''s also a young girl.” Sean chuckled and added, “In fact, she looks like you.”


    “So?” Francesca raised her brows.


    “Huh?” Sean hesitated for a moment and continued, “I didn''t mean anything by that. I was just—”


    “Okay. I''ll go over in a while.” Francesca headed into her room. It seems like I have to be more careful


    not to expose myself before departing. If Danrique finds out I''m Francesco, he''s going to know I''ve


    been stringing him along. By then, it''ll be even harder for me to escape once he starts to get wary of


    me.


    “Have you been drinking, Ms. Cece? Are you all right? Did you get bullied?” Norah was sizing


    Francesca up worriedly.


    “I''m fine.” Francesca could feel that Norah''s concerns toward her were sincere. This is rather heart-


    warming.


    “Mdm. Norah, the bath is ready,” a maid said while standing at the entrance to the bathroom.


    “Let me bathe you. I need to see if you were hurt.” Norah was looking after Francesca like she was a


    child.


    “I''m fine, really.” Francesca smiled. “I can bathe myself. In the meantime, you guys can help me


    prepare my clothes.”


    As she was saying that, she went into the bathroom and closed the door behind her. After that, she hid


    her backpack inside a partition in the bathroom.


    Danrique had never searched her backpack before because he’d always


    trusted her.


    However, he was bound to watch her closely after her attempt to escape. What if he searches my


    backpack and investigates my real identity? After that, he''s going to keep all my travel documents.


    When that happens, I won''t be able to go anywhere. Hence, I must keep my travel documents safe.


    Francesca was scrolling through her phone while soaking in the bathtub.


    Apart from two missed calls from Anthony, she''d also received two text messages which read: Call


    back when you see this!


    Since she was worried that her phone might be tapped, they''d agreed to contact each other through


    that method to avoid important messages getting leaked.


    She''d also received a few missed calls and a few text messages from William.


    Why did you switch off your phone, Francesca? Did something happen to you?


    Francesca, what happened? I''m worried about you. Please call me back when you see this.


    Where are you, Francesca?


    Although those text messages didn''t reveal anything important, Danrique would still find out about her

    identity if he were to see them.


    After giving it some thought, she decided to call William.


    “You''ve finally called, Francesca! I was worried sick!” William said.


    “William, I won''t be able to contact you for a while. Stop sending me text messages, and I''ll call you


    again in due time, okay?”


    “Where are you?”


    “Are you okay, Ms. Cece?” Norah suddenly asked from outside the bathroom.


    “I''m hanging up now. Remember not to text me,” Francesca quickly answered on the phone.


    With that, she hung up.


    After that, she faced the door and uttered, “I''m fine. I''m still bathing.”


    After she was done with her bath, Francesca got ready and followed Norah to the study room on the


    second floor. New ch?pter av?ble o? Draмаnоvеls.cоm


    When the door was pushed open, they saw that the lights in the room were somewhat dim.


    While wearing a pair of silver-rimmed sses, Danrique was sitting elegantly on the sofa as he read


    through some documents.


    Sean also left the room after bowing respectfully.
