Chapter 400
Hattie quickly realized the person calling was Estelle.
Last time at the 9th Mansion, Jonathan was pretty cold to Estelle, so she thought they were no longer involved with each other. She didn’t expect his phone notes to be so affectionate.
She rolled her eyes and with a gentle swipe, answered the phone, faking a lazy voice, “Hello, who’s this?”
There was an obvious pause before a deep voice replied, “I’m looking for Jonathan.”
Hattie continued in a seductive tone, “Mr. Lamont? He’s in the shower!”
There was another pause, followed by a “thank you” before the call quickly ended.
Hattie felt a bit smug at first, but then fear and anxiety swept over her. She deleted the call log and carefully put the phone back.
When Jonathan came out of the shower, he realized he’d left his phone outside. He put on his clothes before opening the door.
“Mr. Lamont!” Hattie stood up, hiding the panic in her eyes, “I just called Amy, she said Malloy is still waiting in the lobby. I don’t know how long he’ll wait, so I won’t bother you anymore. I let Amy book me a room in the hotel, so I’ll go there.”
Jonathan picked up his phone, giving her an indifferent “hmm” and added, “Close the door on your way out.”
With that, he went straight into his bedroom.
Hattie’s palms were sweaty. She left the room only after Jonathan entered his bedroom.
Back in her own room, Amy immediately greeted her with surprise, “Why are you back? What happened between you and Mr. Lamont…”
Hattie’s face was flustered, and she glanced around before sitting on the couch, pouring water, and drinking it. “I wasn’t feeling well, so I came back.”
Her original plan was to secure her relationship with Jonathan that night, but after answering Estelle’s call, her fear got the best of her, and Jonathan’s cold demeanor didn’t help. She decided to come back to her own room instead.
