Chapter 8
âBoss, who do you think could be in this car? Theyâre being so mysterious Simon queried, unable to help his curiosity.
Oneidaâs lips quirked up a little as she teased, âYouâre Jeahrenâs local tyrant, yet there are still people you donât recognize?â
In truth, it was understandable that Simon had no knowledge.
At present, Jackson was in a phase of keeping a low profile and being exceedingly discreet.
As the fourth son of the Bane family, he rarely appeared in public, so very low people could see his actual appearance.
People believed that he was physically disabled and looked hideous, just as the rumors had described.
No one had a clue that Jackson was actually nothing short of amazing.
âItâs not like Iâm omniscient. There are bound to be areas where my knowledge is lacking,â Simon said with a hint of resignation.
Right then, Victor walked back to the duo and smiled lightly at Oneida, saying, âMiss, our boss is especially grateful to you. Feel free to make any demands, and we will do our best to fulfill them.
Oncidaâs eyes flickered when she heard that.
âAny demands?â she thought.
She wanted to see Jackson and talk to him, but it was not the right time now.
Currently, Jackson was not acquainted with
Hence, she couldnât be impulsive.
âThave no demands Oneida mulled it over briefly and then said calmly, âJust conveying a message to your boss for me will suffice.â
Jackson was clueless about what was going on outside the car.
He lowered his gaze, his face distant and detached,
âMr. Bane.â Victor opened the car door again, his expression moderately conflicted. âThat young lady didnât ask for any rewards. She just wanted me to convey a message to youâ¦â
He continued after a pause, âShe says she hopes youâre happy and safe every day.â
Jacksonâs fingers on his knees stilled momentarily, and he lifted his gaze.
He rolled down the car window hallway and saw the girl outside, whose face was radiant and gorgeous
like a blossoming flower.
Oneida didnât anticipate Jackson rolling down the window out of nowhere, so her body couldnât help stiffening slightly.
As the car window was just partially rolled down, she only managed to see the manâs cool, placid eyes and abstruse pupils that were seemingly untouched by worldly matters.
That pair of eyes alone gave off an aura of nobility and detachment, with a depth as unfathomable as the sea.
âWhy did I never notice that this man was so atractive in every way in my previous life?â Opelda mused.
She raised the corners of her lips, displaying a charming smile to Jackson that was as stunning as fireworks.
This caused the man seated in the car to fall into a brief trance.
Chapter 8
After Oneida was done smiling, she turned around with Simon and lett
She knew she would meet Jackson again, so there was no
no rush for the moment.
Simon, on the other hand, seemed to suddenly not recognize her anymore, staring at her with a peculiar gare as he sized her up
âWhat is it?â Oneida furrowed her brows upon sensing Simonâs abnormality.
âI just feel that you started acting very strangely from the moment you saw that puppy.â Simon expressed his inner thoughts straightforwardly.
âStrange how?â she asked carelessly.
Suddenly, Simon chuckled and said meaningfully, âYou became very gentle and adorable.â
Oneida was left speechless.
Inside the RollsâRoyce, Jackson rolled the window up.
His thin lips lifted faintly as he uttered in a chilly voice, âI want her information.â
âYes, Mr. Bane,â Victor nodded respectfully.
Upon bidding Simon farewell, Oneida left Jussipi Clubhouse and walked to the clubhouseâs entrance.
She lightly scanned over a corner behind her with her sharp gaze
Though it seemed cursory, it was, in fact, beyond precise.
She knew someone was hiding there.
That person had been following her since she left the manor until now.
