âOkay.
â
After hanging up, Lucinda leaned back into her seat and thought of all that happened these past days.
Then, she called Rickey and Pierre in.
Pierre âI have a party tonight, so I wonât need the both of you will be enough.
Rickey, you can go back to the villa first.
Rickey looked at Pierre, who was standing beside him, worriedly.
He seemed to want to say something, but he stopped on second thought.
âButâ¦â
Lucinda waved her hand dismissively and said, âYou may go now.
â
As soon as the two left, her phone rang.
It was Cyrus calling.
âGraham has looked into it carefully.
There was no one from the Simmons family that fits the man you described.
â
Hearing this, she pursed her Lips and fell into deep thought.
âItâs possible that the man you recruited is lying, or that that man has hidden his true identity very well.
Anyway, you shouldnât trust Pierre too much before we know more.
â
âDonât worry, Cyrus.
I know what Iâm doing.
â
After hanging up, she took out the sketch book from the drawer and turned to the page with the portrait of the man in black.
She Looked at it carefully for a while before going back to work.
She and Pierre didnât leave for Samsara Bar until it was almost time to get off work.
Pierre sat in the driverâs seat while Lucinda sat in the back.
The drive was quiet.
From time to time, he would glance at her from the r
earview mirror.
She noticed this.
âIs there something you wanna say?â she asked bluntly.
Pierre hesitated for a moment.
âI was sent to kill you.
Your men have always been suspicious of me even though now I am working for you.
Why do you of all people trust me in the first place? You even take only me as your bodyguard tonight.
Arenât you afraid that Iâll try something?â
Lucinda smiled at him sweetly.
âAs you said, you work for me now, so of course I trust you.
Besides, I know martial arts.
Beating you would be a piece of cake.
â
Pierre couldnât help but chuckle.
