Escort? President! novel Chapter 22

At this point, Jason was discussing business with a customer in a restaurant.

Suddenly, the phone screen lit up, and Jason glanced over by habit; it was Felicity.

He was taken aback for a moment, surprised that Felicity would call him.

But right now, he was talking about critical issues with the customer and it was not a good time to answer the phone.

So, Jason temporarily rejected the call.

Then, he continued to talk business with his client.

But before he even said a few words, the phone rang again; Jason glanced to see that it was Felicity again.

Jason couldn't help but frown; he thought: What’s this woman up to?

The client saw that Jason's face looked ill, so he said wittily, "Jason, if you have urgent matters, you can take the call first, don’t worry about me."

After hearing this, Jason nodded and asked to be excused.

Then, he stood up and walked away to answer the phone.

"What’s the matter?"

Jason's voice was faint and devoid of any emotions.

This made Felicity feel a little uneasy.

After all, it was a bit rude already to disturb him.

So, she replied in an apologetic and guilty tone, "I'm sorry, did I disturb you? I didn't mean to... It's just that I have something to trouble you again, can you... help me?"

She made this call because she was really desperate.

Jason seems to have heard the helplessness from Felicity's faint voice. Did she get into trouble?

"What happened to you?"

Jason frowned; the coldness in his tone also disappeared a bit.

"I...I’m locked up..."

Felicity bit her lip and talked about her situation, speaking very quietly.

She feared alerting the guards outside the door.

Jason was startled, and frowned even deeper, "What the hell is going on?"

Locked up?

"I can't go out now; they are keeping me under watch very closely; so I need your help to pretend to be my boyfriend and come find me..."

Felicity briefly described her situation and told Jason the address.

"…"

After he finished listening, Jason’s face looked unpleasant.

Previously, when he investigated Felicity, he knew that she had bad ties with her family.

But he did not expect the James family would force an arranged marriage to such an extent.

Felicity did not hear Jason speak, and she became a little panicked.

"If you come find me, I might still have a chance to get out. If they don't let me go, you can call the police. They can’t imprison me. Also, they even have my mother..."

Technically, Felicity herself could also call the police.

But she was worried that Stanley would deceive the police by using his connections and rhetoric.

If Jason came, things might turn around.

"I understand."

Jason got a general understanding of the situation and replied.

“I'm sorry...but really... please.”
