Although Francesca was shocked to hear that, she remained calm and collected. “I've heard of that person before. She's quite something, right?
“Yes. She's also a young girl.” Sean chuckled and added, “In fact, she looks like you.”
“So?” Francesca raised her brows.
“Huh?” Sean hesitated for a moment and continued, “I didn't mean anything by that. I was just—”
“Okay. I'll go over in a while.” Francesca headed into her room. It seems like I have to be more careful not to expose myself before departing. If Danrique finds out I'm Francesco, he's going to know I've been stringing him along. By then, it'll be even harder for me to escape once he starts to get wary of me.
“Have you been drinking, Ms. Cece? Are you all right? Did you get bullied?” Norah was sizing Francesca up worriedly.
“I'm fine.” Francesca could feel that Norah's concerns toward her were sincere. This is rather heart-warming.
“Mdm. Norah, the bath is ready,” a maid said while standing at the entrance to the bathroom.
“Let me bathe you. I need to see if you were hurt.” Norah was looking after Francesca like she was a child.
“I'm fine, really.” Francesca smiled. “I can bathe myself. In the meantime, you guys can help me prepare my clothes.”
As she was saying that, she went into the bathroom and closed the door behind her. After that, she hid her backpack inside a partition in the bathroom.
Danrique had never searched her backpack before because he’d always
trusted her.
However, he was bound to watch her closely after her attempt to escape. What if he searches my backpack and investigates my real identity? After that, he's going to keep all my travel documents. When that happens, I won't be able to go anywhere. Hence, I must keep my travel documents safe.
Francesca was scrolling through her phone while soaking in the bathtub.
Apart from two missed calls from Anthony, she'd also received two text messages which read: Call back when you see this!
Since she was worried that her phone might be tapped, they'd agreed to contact each other through that method to avoid important messages getting leaked.
She'd also received a few missed calls and a few text messages from William.
