For the past few days, flying back and forth, Jessica had been extremely vigilant to ensure Gan Yuan’s safety; she slept with one eye open every night.
Finally back in the Capital, she felt much more relaxed, and that night, she slept particularly sweetly.
As dawn was just breaking, she was still comfortably sprawled across the large bed.
Thus, you can imagine her mood when the ringing of her phone disrupted her wonderful dream.
Without even opening her eyes, she fumbled to answer the call.
"You’d better give me a reason not to kill you; otherwise, go die now!"
The male voice on the phone was even more arrogant and direct than she was.
"One o’clock in the afternoon, Room 406 at the XX Hotel."
"You?!" Jessica opened her eyes, "Will?"
The other party just threw those four words at her before hanging up.
Looking at Will’s number on the phone screen, Jessica angrily threw the phone away.
Pulling the covers over her head, she tossed herself back onto the bed, but seconds later, she threw the covers off with a jerk.
Jumping out of bed, she reached into the wardrobe, pulled out the gun hidden in the side panel, swiftly ejected the magazine to check it, and smirked with a curl of her lips.
"The game should end now, Colonel Sir!"
After getting ready quickly, she changed her clothes and went to Gan Yuan’s room, where Gan Yuan was already neatly dressed, sitting at the table having breakfast, and her assistant was reporting today’s schedule to her.
"You have a meeting at GM in the morning, and in the afternoon the mayor will have an event at the city hall..."
Upon seeing Jessica, Gan Yuan immediately invited her to join the breakfast.
After days of interaction, the relationship between Jessica and her had become increasingly harmonious. Without any hesitation, Jessica sat down and asked the assistant,
"What time is the afternoon event?"
"It starts at 1:30 PM and ends at 4:00 PM."
Jessica raised her eyebrows, "Arrange for a few more people to accompany Miss Gan this afternoon. I have some matters to attend to and won’t be able to join you."
"Of course," the assistant replied immediately.
After breakfast, the group hurried to the GM Building for the meeting. The morning passed quickly, and by noon, Gan Yuan had returned to the hotel to rest, and her assistant had her evening dress ready.
As Gan Yuan sat on the couch changing clothes, Jessica glanced at her watch multiple times.
Noticing her subtle movements, Gan Yuan smiled and turned to her, "Go ahead if you have something to do; don’t worry about me."
Jessica, in her younger years, reminded Gan Yuan of her own youth; seeing Jessica always made Gan Yuan think of herself when she was younger. This girl was frank by nature, and although sometimes a bit impetuous, she was undeniably an interesting person.
During these days, Jessica had been by Gan Yuan’s side day and night, fully committed to her protection, and Gan Yuan greatly appreciated her for it.
It was already half past twelve, and there was some distance from here to the hotel where that guy had asked to meet her. She wasn’t exactly bothered by the prospect of being late; she just didn’t want to waste too much time waiting.
Smiling at Gan Yuan, Jessica rose from the sofa.
"Then I’ll go ahead. Once I’m done with my errands, I’ll head straight to the city hall," she said.
Afterwards, she carefully instructed the assistant and two bodyguards on a few details, grabbed her backpack from the room, and then hurried off.
In the morning, she had already seriously thought about the reason Will had called her to the hotel this time.
The last time he summoned her to a bar, it was for a drinking contest, then he took her to a secluded place, and afterward, he tried to take advantage of her while she was drunk. Clearly, the guy wanted to take advantage of her inebriation, but due to her drinking capacity exceeding his expectations, he failed.
