Chapter 831: Chapter 41 Hide and Seek
After her subordinate Torres had left, Donna’s eyes never left the clock in front of her.
At this moment, the most crucial part of her plan was underway.
Even though she had gone over it hundreds of times in her mind, Donna still felt some unease.
Donna murmured the name softly to herself.
In her mind emerged the image of Jason, imposing and strong yet bizarre.
Imposing and strong was his physique.
Bizarre was the hockey mask.
Being the true self with glasses, she had heard of that.
Such a strange person!
Donna couldn’t help but think.
Then, the lady leaned back in her high-backed chair, eyes fixed on the clock, while the folding fan in her right hand tapped gently against the palm of her left hand.
Those familiar with Donna knew this was her habit when contemplating.
And anything that made her contemplate was trouble.
And not just trouble—he was a big problem!
In Donna’s eyes, such a peculiar person like Jason must be treated with utmost caution.
Therefore, Donna would not underestimate Jason.
In fact, she never underestimated anyone.
But she had to admit, she really had underestimated Jason.
She had never imagined that someone who seemed to be a brute could be so smart.
It was not merely being smart!
It was some kind of terrifying potential!
Their patience and that way of operating…
Involuntarily, Donna thought of tigers, then of venomous snakes, and also of foxes.
She didn’t know where Jason had lived before or what he had experienced to turn into what he was now, but she was clear on one thing—Jason was very difficult to handle.
How much did Jason know!
"Did you also discover something, is that why you purposefully approached us by becoming ‘Brutalizer’?”
"I must say, it’s a bold plan.”
Donna naturally thought to herself.
This was the only reasonable explanation for now.
If Jason had not discovered some ‘truth,’ such a big transformation would have been impossible.
But how much had Jason discovered?
If it was just a hint, it was naturally nothing to worry about.
But if it was a bit more…
At the thought, Donna’s tapping of her folding fan on her palm paused, her heart instantly tightening.
Because, from the current situation, the latter seemed inevitable.
And it was enough to affect her entire plan.
She would not allow any accidents to happen to the plan.
Nor would she allow herself to fail.
Because she no longer represented just herself but the whole organization and… everyone’s hope.
"Success is the only option!”
Donna was resolutely determined in her heart.
Tick tock, tick tock.
The second hand moved bit by bit, and after the minute hand had jumped fifteen times, Donna picked up the phone, dialing the number she had memorized by heart.
After two electronic tones, the phone was picked up.
Losa’s slightly puzzled voice came through.
Such puzzlement was normal.
Anyone facing a call from a hidden number displaying asterisks would sound .
But, Losa was different.
Donna knew just how smart Losa was beneath the facade of a good-for-nothing.
Such a person might be puzzled at first.
But after they had clashed twice, by now it should not be the case.
Donna thought to herself, yet again using that sweet voice to speak.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Losa.”
"It was quite fine initially, but not anymore.”
Losa, recognizing the voice on the other end, spoke without any niceties.
As the phone had rung, he had been considering what tone to use.
Even if he had identified the caller, he could not just say so outright.
Because that would not suit his character or his current precarious situation.
His character was to be cautious, and his situation was fraught with danger.
So even with confirmation, feigning ignorance while probing was the most suitable approach.
Of course, one could not overdo the act; otherwise, it would backfire, additionally, he had to show reluctance—his current circumstances allowed for such a mood, and even provided grounds for grievance.
In fact, Losa’s choice was very astute.
Listening to the ’emotion’ in Losa’s words, Donna subconsciously covered her mouth with the black folding fan.
"Mr. Losa, I have brought you some good news.”
"Dorse and Klinck, two people who wouldn’t listen, I’ve already sent someone to deal with them.”
"I believe you will receive news soon.”
Despite Jason’s warning, and its confirmation when the caller phoned, the moment she actually heard Losa speak, her heart still skipped a beat.
Losa used this stance to signal his shock at receiving the information.
Then, he took two quick breaths.
"You’re not running a charity; what do I have to give in return?”
Losa asked in a deep voice.
"Of course, cooperation!”
"We need someone on stage to attract attention, and you need someone you can truly use.”
Donna laughed lightly.
Losa agreed immediately, appearing very straightforward.
And on the other end of the phone, Donna gently snapped the folding fan closed and rested it against her chin.
