"Yes."
Amanda moved her feet along the hallway. She knew that Jon passed out in his room, and his room was near Sakura's. They were quite far from the stairs. Without thinking much, she moved towards the door and opened it.
Hearing the door being opened, Tommy tensed up immediately. He cursed internally as he thought why Amanda would come here instead of Sakura's room. With a swift movement, he hid behind the curtains.
Seeing the messy room, Amanda frowned. She did not expect this man's room to be like this. Looking towards the sleeping man on the bed, she smirked and walked towards the bed. Her eyes noticed Tommy when she got near, but before she could see clearly, a pillow blocked her view.
"He….mph."
Tommy blocked her mouth. Amanda's eyes widened, and then she felt something pricking her on the back of her neck. She screamed but the pillow muffled her shriek. The next second, her feet felt weak and her eyes were heavy. She had fallen asleep.
"You're quick, Kanae."
Kanae nodded her head. She used the ring that Jason gave to her before the mission to make Amanda fall asleep. Upon hearing that the door she opened was Jon's, she dashed out silently and made her way here.
Seeing the sleeping Amanda, Tommy sighed. If he had made a move, the guards outside would have known that there was an intruder here. However, Amanda was only sleeping, so they wouldn't suspect that.
"What should we do with her?" Tommy pointed towards Amanda.
"Let her stay here. Isn't that what she wants?" Kanae answered ruthlessly.
Hearing Kanae's tone, Tommy shuddered. He knew that Amanda wouldn't have a good end by eyeing Sakura's fiancé. Even though Sakura was a pampered lady, she was extremely ruthless in her conduct. It was something that he knew from the stories that Kanae shared occasionally. Now that they left her here, it would just escalate things further.
"You should go back and act as if nothing happened. Go back first, I'll come later."
Tommy nodded his head. "Be careful, Captain."
As Tommy made his way towards the door, Kanae looked towards the two sleeping people on the bed. Her eyes turned cold as she recalled the episode at the school. Even without the camera telling her, she already knew that this was the girl who tried to harm her in the past.
The conversation she had with Sakura the day before the incident made her feel disgusted. If it were Sakura who wanted to have her die, she might understand a bit because Sakura has hated her since a long time ago. However, Amanda changed the task she was given that day and nearly killed her.
'If you want glory and money, you can get all of that very easily with a price.'
Kanae moved her feet away as she scanned the room. From what she knew, this man was only a useless son in the Aida Family. There was no way his father would trust him with the important information regarding the secret weapon. This made her rather uninterested in him.
"Jason, bring them all here."
"Can you get out?" Shiro asked.
"Sure, I'll get out now," Kanae answered and walked out the door. She swiftly moved towards another room and hid behind the door. Inside her heart, she wondered what kind of idiot would leave his room door opened like this.
When he got the order, Jason smiled towards the others. "Shall we make a visit to Jon? It's a bit unwise if we leave him alone."
Taro looked towards Jason as if he were seeing an alien. From the years that he knew Jason, there was not an instance that Jason would volunteer to do something like that. Of course, that was excluding the tasks this man had to do when his family members wanted him to uphold the Wells Family's name.
"I'm sure he's already sleeping by now. Jon loves to drink very much."
"At the same time, he doesn't have good alcohol tolerance. It's quite pitiful for the man."
Jason put his glass down. "He is the main character of the event today after all. It has been some time, so we should just check on him to see if he wants to meet with his fiancée again."
It was at this time they recalled that Sakura was still in the hall. She was busy dealing with the guests while Jon was sleeping peacefully. No matter which angle they viewed it from, it was not too fair.
"Alright, let's go up."
