"Who is it?"
I look at the lights in the study and ask in a low voice.
Actually, I don't want to hide anything from Frances, but I don't want him to know about Hilda's matter until I figure it out.
"Jason."
Mindy says solemnly.
It sounds like a man. Can he be Hilda's lover?
He can't be.
It looks like she fancies Frances so much. Can she have another man in her heart?
Rather than speculating, I'd better ask.
"Tell me more, I don't know who Jason is."
"Of course you, an ordinary citizen, don't know who Jason is. But in the underworld, everyone knows Jason. He is an expert in bomb and firearm manufacturing under the world's largest arms dealer. It is said that no one can defuse the time bomb he made except him. Anyway, David said that this man is so amazing."
I am very uneasy at Mindy's words.
Hilda is actually in connection with such a person. But I find it fishy.
Was she looking for Jason to catch up as old friends, or did she have other purposes?
If she had other purposes, what would they be?
In an instant, my mind is in a mess.
"Then do you know if Hilda and Jason had a friendship? What did they meet for?"
I need to know everything about Hilda so that I won't panic. Therefore, I ask her further.
"I don't know. The place where they talked was so hidden. But I'm sure they knew each other before. You know, Hilda's husband is from the underworld, so he has contacts with Jason."
"Okay, keep an eye on her. I need to go to bed. I have to get up at four in the morning to put on my makeup. Remember to come early with David."
"Okay, it's my best friend's wedding, I must be there early. Good night, love you."
Hanging up the phone, I feel my heart goes chaotic.
I have no idea why Hilda looked for Jason.
