Her Mysterious Mogul Hubby (Charlotte and Zachary) novel Chapter 2051

Francesca glanced at her watch. “Ten minutes.”

“Thank you!” Sloan followed Francesca to her car. "Mr. Lindberg sent us to protect you, Ms. Felchhe added nervously.

Francesca nodded. “Hmm. And?”

“A man in black intended to assault you two nights ago but we beat him.”

Sloan spoke as if he was making a report to Sean.

“So it was you who have been helping me from the shadows! I've been wondering why it has been so peaceful lately. It appears that Chrono and his friends did not leave S Nation.” Realization dawned on Francesca.

Sloan nodded. “That's right. That is why you must be careful and watch out for your safety.”

“I will, thank you,” Francesca said. “Did Danrique not summon you back?”

“He didn't,” Sloan answered seriously. “We have been following you since the day you left and only found your whereabouts after several days of

digging.”

Francesca’s expression hardened. “Who asked you to investigate me? Danrique?”

“Not at all!” Sloan explained hastily. “Sean had us protect you from the shadows, but we did not know where you are, so we just—”

“All right,” Francesca interrupted him. “Your mission is complete. You may return now.”

“No, we have not received the order to return,” Sloan protested solemnly. “Besides, our mission is not complete.”

“What mission?” Francesca asked casually.

“To... protect you.” Almost letting slip something secretive, Sloan changed tact at the critical moment. “Please don't be angry with Mr. Lindberg, Ms. Felch. He seems to care for you very much.”

What does it mean for Danrique to send Sloan instead of explaining himself in person? Did he do something he's not supposed to and dare not face me ? Or does he not care about me at all? I suppose it is both.

Finding her anger grow the more she thought about it, Francesca made a silent vow to never speak to Danrique again.

Spurred by that thought, she added Danrique’s number to her blocked list along with Sean's.

After parking the car upon reaching home, Francesca planned to visit Lacy when Layla beckoned at her. “Lacy is asleep. See her tomorrow morning instead. Come to my room. I would like a chat with you.”

“Oh. Let me change out of these first.”

Francesca returned to her room to change into her home clothes before returning downstairs.

“Has Danrique contacted you?” Layla asked bluntly as soon as she brought

out the tea.
