In a drowsy state, Kate unconsciously murmured a few words and instinctively reached out towards the empty spot beside her pillow.
But all she touched was the vacant warmth of a soft swan pillow.
Huh?
Where is he?
The room was pitch black, so quiet that not a single sound could be heard.
She reached over to the phone on the cabinet and checked the time. It was only 9 PM. At this time, Master Glenn would usually be in the study, reading documents.
Pushing through the exhaustion in her body, she got out of bed and picked up the shirt at the foot. It was Master Glenn's shirt, and due to their height difference, the shirt reached her thighs, barely covering her buttocks.
Fortunately, at this time, the maids in the house had all returned to their rooms to rest, so she didn't have to worry about being seen in this attire.
When Kate reached the entrance of the study, she noticed that the door wasn't completely closed. A faint yellow light seeped out from the room, casting a subtle angle on the floor where the door met.
Her gaze was involuntarily drawn to this glimmer of light.
She heard the sound of conversation coming from inside the room, causing her steps to abruptly halt. She bent her body slightly, pressing her ear against the door.
"Shane has returned to the Itoh family, and they want you to assist him," a woman's voice spoke.
The voice sounded cool and clean, exuding an aura of elegance. From this voice, one could deduce that the woman was young.
And the one answering her was another familiar deep, low voice.
Even if Kate closed her eyes, she would know without thinking who it belonged to.
"I'm not going!"
"You have to. Don't forget what your mission is. Once it's accomplished, we will help you achieve what you desire. Master Glenn, you know that orders cannot be disobeyed," the woman insisted.
There was a momentary pause, followed by a bone-chilling laughter from the woman.
"Could it be because of your lover? Are you getting scared?" she taunted.
The moment Kate was mentioned, an intimidating aura emanated from Master Glenn. His ice-cold deep-set eyes locked onto the woman's fair and enchanting face, as he fiercely warned, "I'm warning you, not a single hair of hers should be harmed!"
The woman was not intimidated by his presence. Instead, she let out a melodious laughter, biting her finger seductively. With a captivating posture, she sat diagonally on the desk.
This posture caused her split dress to reveal a fair and delicate thigh. The slender heels of her shoes made an unforgettable sight on the ground.
"Tsk tsk tsk, since you don't want any harm to come to your lover, it's in your best interest to obey orders. Tomorrow, you will go to Jostrana! Once Cheyenne gets hold of that last piece of the map, kill her!"
The woman's voice was resolute as she uttered those last two words.
In her tone, there was a permeating intention to kill.
Boom!
Kate was completely stunned, rooted to the spot. Her mind went blank, only echoing with those two words the woman had just spoken.
Kill her!
