Chapter 149 - Soundproof (1/2)

By the time Amelie left the restaurant with the food she ordered, she had already been gone from the room for almost 2 hours. Amelie glanced at her watch guiltily. It was already 9pm!

”I hope Jackson's not starving,” she whispered to herself as she rushed back up to the hotel room.

But, as soon as she opened the hotel room door, she heard a loud bang from inside. Amelie's eyes opened wide with concern. Did Jackson faint from hunger?

She immediately closed the door and rushed inside.

However, the scene she saw was not what she expected.

Jackson's hair was messy and he had a bit of pink lipstick smeared across his mouth. But, even stranger, he was sitting on the sofa with some doc.u.ments in his hands as though nothing happened.

Meanwhile, a woman with a baseball cap and surgical mask stood awkwardly beside him. What was happening in here?

As soon as the woman saw Amelie, she put on her sunglasses and mumbled, ”I think I should get going.” She then scurried past Amelie and out the front door as quick as a bolt of lightning.

Even though the woman was fully disguised, Amelie recognized her voice and the smell of lavender as she brushed past.

”What was Halia doing here?” she asked Jackson with a slight smirk.

Jackson cleared his throat, not removing his gaze from the doc.u.ments in front of him. ”She was arranging a meeting between us and her handler,” he replied, trying to sound serious.

”Oh, really?”Amelie asked. ”I thought you were getting hungry waiting for me, so she came to feed you,” she giggled as she pointed to her mouth, gesturing to the man that there was something on his lips.

Jackson quickly wiped his lips and looked at his fingers. There was pink lipstick on them!

He smiled a little as he remembered the woman that was in his arms just a moment ago. The atmosphere was getting quite heated before Amelie returned. If she had come back any later, he may have lost control.

He blushed a little and stood up. ”I'm going to go have a shower,” he said. He needed to cool off.

Amelie watched as the man walked into the bathroom and shook her head with a laugh. It seemed, she had felt guilty for nothing.

...

Not too far away, inside another suite in the hotel, Little Pumpkin had just fallen asleep. Natalie kissed her son on the forehead and stepped out into the living room to join the man that was waiting patiently for her.
