Chapter 747 A Close Call


    It was a muscr, sharp-eyed security guard. As he approached Josie, thetter took a deep breath


    and pretended calm. Fortunately, she was dressed in a staff uniform.


    “I’m a staff here.” She looked straight into the guard’s eyes, striving to remainposed.


    “All staff should know the basement is a forbidden ground.” The security shone his shlight on her


    face while examining her cold-bloodedly.


    Luckily, Josie had put on makeup to disguise herself, so the guard couldn’t see her actual appearance.


    “Your name?” He asked.


    Josie remembered the name tag on her uniform. “J-Jane.”


    The guard moved the shlight to her chest. Indeed, the name on the name tag matched.


    “What are you doing here?”


    “To send something over.”


    The guard nced behind Josie and asked suspiciously. What is it?”


    It’s something important. I can’t tell you.” Josie pressed her lips.


    “Hmph!” The guard scoffed. “You better confess now before it’s not toote. This is for your own good.


    If exposedter, the consequence will be more than just dying.”


    Josie clenched her fists. “I came to the basement to carry out Mr. Dalton’s order. I’m not telling you for


    your own good too.” She staunchly mentioned Wayne, which made the guard hesitate briefly, knowing


    Wayne had indeede today. However, he remained doubtful. “Mr. Dalton has left already. Why are


    you still here?”


    Josie smiled. “I was about to leave, but then you stopped me.”


    The guard moved his shlight away as he was slightly convinced but remained vignt. Josie


    continued, “You better let me go already. You wouldn’t want to annoy Mr. Dalton and end up like the


    bodyguards. today who lost their fingers, would you?”


    Her tone was cold, and with the incident that had actually happened, the guard waspletely


    convinced. He waved his hand impatiently and said, “Quickly leave.”


    Josie remained calm. Before leaving, she purposely blurted, “I can’t believe someone senseless like


    you can be a security guard.”


    “You…”


    Only after entering the elevator did Josie heave a sigh of relief. Her back was drenched with sweat.


    Just as she thought everything was over, she saw a familiar figure walking toward her the moment she


    stepped out of the lift. The figure was skinny and short. The way he walked looked familiar, too, like the


    intruder the other day.

    Josie was stunned. A chill ran down her spine.


    That person had a picture in his hand and was inquiring with a staff.


    Arnold’s as most likely one of hers or


    Just then, the person walked forward and lifted his head. He almost saw Josie, but someone suddenly


    covered Josie’s mouth from behind and dragged her to the corner.


    “Mmm!”


    “It’s me!” When the person released Josie, she turned around and was bbergasted to see Arnold.


    “What are you doing here?”


    Arnold wore a hat and a mask, revealing only his dark eyes. “That’s what I should ask you. Why were


    you spacing out just now?”


    While Arnold asked the question, the man walked past the corridor. Josie only dared to answer Arnold.


    after the man walked away. “It’s him.”


    It was an ambiguous response, but Arnold understood. His eyes turned ferocious. Without saying


    anything else, he grabbed Josie and returned to the room.


    Because they were registered as guests, the staff did not inspect their room, so they were safe.


    “Where did you go?” Josie removed her mask immediately after entering the room.


    Arnold narrowed his eyes dangerously. “I’ll send you away tonight. I’ve underestimated Wayne. As long


    as you’re here, he can definitely find you. If that happens, I won’t be able to protect you.”


    Send me away?
