Angela’s pupils shriveled, and her breath hurried, her back was soaked wet by cold sweat in a few seconds.
Through the door crack, she saw Danis withdrew his hands, while James stood half a meter away from him.
James seemed to perceive her gaze and turned to her direction. She subconsciously lowered her head and avoided his gaze.
The elevator door eventually closed, yet her heart rate didn’t come down. If James really sensed there was something wrong, and tried to stop her before she left, was there any chance left in the future for her to leave?
Danis hated her for being a mistress, and he had a long-term feud with James, so he was unlikely to gossip. However, she was not sure how likely that might be.
She licked her dry lips. The color drained from her face, and the layer of sweat on her nose got thicker.
The elevator arrived at the first floor. She clenched her purse, and walked towards the hotel door as quickly as possible.
The entrance was occupied by luxury cars. If there was a black SUV, it would be obvious. But she looked for it several times and couldn't find the target. She frowned and took a look at the elevator. The door just opened and people filed out of it. She flurried to hide, and James was not one of those people.
She was sightly relieved but felt perturbed still. She found an inconspicuous place, and dialed that number with shaking hands, “I can’t find your car at the entrance.”
"We were late. It's full. Come to B2." said the man over there.
She hung up the phone in a hurry and got into the elevator. However, when she got off, she saw James, and he was standing in front of a black SUV and saying something.
She gasped at the sight of him. She hid behind a car, but her eyelashes were shaking out of tension.
What was going on? What was James doing here?
Did Danis say something to him and he got suspicious? Or was it because of something that she did that gave her away?
She took a secret glance and drew back quickly, but he hadn’t left yet.
What worried her most was what he was saying to those guys who were supposed to pick her up? Did he find out what she had stipulated with Lawson?
"Excuse me, Miss. I'm going to start my car. I don’t want you to get hurt." The car owner which Angela used as a cover lowered his window, he said to Angela, who was squatting behind his car all this time.
There were not many people in the underground garage at the moment. The owner's words, which were not loud, yet were very abrupt and clear.
She didn't answer, but looked in the direction of James. He was looking around. She didn't know whether he was looking for her or just looking around. If she stood up, even if he didn't see her face, he would recognize her from her clothes.
And if he found her, whether he knew that she was leaving today, she would not be able to leave.
"Miss?" Seeing that Angela didn't move for a long time and didn't make a sound, the owner of the car asked again.
