Jane and Dr. Peck just had a chance encounter, they greeted each other and exchanged a few words before going their separate ways. The plainclothes bodyguard behind them inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief. At least there wouldn't be any scenes like a battle between love rivals happening.
Afterwards, Jane returned to the villa as usual and took care of the cleaning and cooking. Once everything was in order, she prepared to sneak away while Louis was still out.
She didn't even have time to take off her apron when the noise at the door made her shiver all over.
Louis actually came back early!
Jane's scalp instantly tingled, the scenes of that day involuntarily played in her mind, and her face turned red.
It was too late to run away. But she didn't want to face Louis head-on.
She could only hide instead, thinking that Louis would not search through rooms for her.
There was a small storage room on the first floor, and Jane ran over to it quickly.
She opened the door, entered and closed the door in one go.
At the same time, she took a deep breath and press her ear against the door frame to carefully distinguish any sounds coming from outside.
Perhaps because of the good quality of the door panel, Jane couldn't hear any sound for a while.
It was bad to wait passively. Vivian was still waiting for her to go back.
At this moment, Louis outside the door pinched his forehead and showed a helpless smile.
What a little fool...
Knock knock knock -
Jane was scared to the point where her whole body was covered in goosebumps.
"Jane, I know you're in there. Come out, please. I think we need to talk." Louis' voice came from behind the door panel, sounding slightly muffled due to the thick door.
Jane was immediately embarrassed and struggled whether to go out or not.
She thought to herself, "Avoiding like this all the time is definitely not a solution."
So, the door was opened and Louis saw the awkward face revealed through the crack of the door.
Louis tilted his head slightly, coughed, and concealed the urge to laugh.
Jane's palms were sweating as she nervously clutched the edge of her apron.
