Jordan was a talent after all. Of course, Stanley wouldn't allow him to die just like that. With much resentment, he ordered his men to fall back, "Release her."
Perhaps he was tired of looking at Jordan's weak appearance. Stanley immediately left the private room in anger.
As he walked to the door, he couldn't help but stop in his tracks and mutter, "I am very disappointed in you."
After that, he left without looking back.
It wasn't until the sound of footsteps disappeared outside the corridor that Jordan finally lost his footing and immediately fell on the ground in front of me.
If it weren't for the bodyguards that had rushed up to save him, I would have watched him slowly die without the slightest bit of hesitation.
Stanley was obviously more rational than Jordan. Even though he deemed Jordan as a huge disappointment, he still had people take me and Jordan, who had passed out and was wounded, back.
Of course, there was another possibility. He was afraid that Jordan would die in my hands.
If so, all I could say was that they really knew me well.
After Jordan was hurt, the guy in the suit stayed at the Roberts Mansion. This showed that Stanley's men would constantly stay by his side, guarding him more intently than guarding me.
This was good. I had much more freedom than before.
On the second day of returning, I had decided to go out with the excuse of wanting to relieve my boredom. I headed to the shopping center to "coincidentally" meet the mysterious lady from before.
I put on light makeup, hid the prepared note in the backpack, and went downstairs.
I bumped into the man in the suit when I was at Jordan's door. He turned to give me a meaningful look.
"I have something going on. I'll have to leave first. Why not have a meal another day," I replied as I prepared to leave.
However, Raiya had walked forward and held onto my arms. She tugged me into another direction. "Let's make another day today then. I know a place that I think you'll like. Let's have a meal together." "Raiya, let me go first. Raiya, Raiya!" As we got onto the elevator, my face had turned red. I raised my voice at her.
Raiya couldn't react for a moment and loosened her grip on my arm. I took her hand off mine, and the atmosphere in the elevator turned awkward.
After a moment of silence, Raiya took the initiative to apologize. "I'm sorry, Arianna, I didn't know you were in a bad mood."
I'm angry, but not at her. In fact, she didn't have to apologize. "It's okay. It has nothing to do with you.
I have my own reasons."
Sawyer didn't know of Jordan's situation, and there were a lot of things that this couple didn't know. However, in this situation, it was my way of protecting them.
