Chapter 443 - Become a Background Figure (2/2)

”You're not going to be angry about that, will you?”

”Of course not,” Kanae rolled her eyes. ”I think it'll be better for things to be this way. If you're really comfortable with her and wish for more, I won't stop you.”

”…” Why did it sound as if she was giving her approval of their relationship? He never thought of Laura that way, right?

”I want to slowly become a background figure in her life and no longer tie her up with me,” Kanae added.

”Why?” Jason asked in wonder.

Kanae leaned back on her chair. ”She's going to be a big figure in the future. Having a sister who participates in the underworld will not do her anything good aside from bad publicity.”

Jason smiled wryly. ”I don't think that she will want you to back off from your current life with her.”

”I know, I won't leave her, I will search for a normal work,” Kanae sighed. ”Maybe, it's instead the time for me to leave the Underworld and focus more on the life that I have with her.”

”If that's what you want, I'll support you. I don't think there's a lot of work we have to do in the underworld anymore, do we? Also, why are you putting your hand near the lamp?”

”Laura places a listening device here,” Kanae smiled wryly. ”You're staying here for weeks, you don't know that?”

”I'm not checking every place for listening device, especially a place like this one,” Jason rolled his eyes. He was feeling comfortable in this place, so he never thought about that possibility.

”She's just being careful because there's one in our place,” Kanae recalled that Laura was looking at her when she removed the recorder that she placed in their mansion. She already removed the listening device as she broke it along with the fight with Randy, Hunter Group leader, when he came over. However, she only removed the recorder when Laura was present later on.

That girl wanted to know what she was doing, so Kanae had to explain her little scheme against the one who listened in. Hopefully, her action would cause that man to stop spying on them. As for the recorder, she already moved them back to safe place, ready to use if it was needed again.

”So, will you completely get out from the Underworld?” Jason recalled the one he asked before. ”Tommy already gets out from our group unofficially since he becomes Alice's bodyguard. If you leave too, Fiore Group is no more.”

”Not completely leave yet,” Kanae rolled her eyes. ”I'll just enjoy the peace for now. I believe that this won't last long.”

”You shouldn't say that.”

”Why?”

”It just feels like you're making prophecy of a bleak future.”

”We'll know in the future,” Kanae replied back with a wry smile.

The two of them looked towards each other for a few seconds before the phone rang. Jason quickly picked it up because Laura was still in the bathroom, doing her makeup again.

”You better call Laura, they're coming.”

”I'm too lazy to move. Can't you be the one to call her?”

”Are you seriously telling me to call her from the ladies bathroom? Do you want me to be tagged as a pervert again?”

”That's actually a good idea.”

”Captain….”

”I'll call her,” Kanae laughed and dashed out of the room before Jason got angry because of her remark.
