Chapter 986 What Happened
She weakly raised her hand and tugged on the T-shirt that didn’t fit her well, with a smile.
Jack might never know that if he had dared to do anything detrimental to her just now, the dagger on Mandy’s leg would have pierced his chest.
And now…
Mandy smelled the faint scent of lavender on the bed and closed her eyes heavily.
The following day, after rising hungrily from bed, she found a glass of warm milk and breakfast sitting on the kitchen island.
Next to it was a note left by Jack: [I went to work. I hope I won’t see an extra hundred dollars at home when I come back.]
Looking down at the vigorous fonts on the notepaper, Mandy couldn’t help laughing.
She picked up the breakfast on the plate and took a bite. Unexpectedly, it tasted surprisingly good.
On this day, Jack was rarely distracted while working.
He didn’t know whether Mandy would stay at his house after he went back or if she would still leave without saying goodbye like last time.
Even Joe noticed something was wrong with him. He frowned and looked at Jack. “What happened to you?”
Jack quickly apologized to Joe, “Mr. Smith, I’m sorry…”
Joe made a stop gesture and glanced around him, “I’ll give you half a day off to adjust your condition.”
Jack shook his head. “I’m fine. I don’t need to rest.”
Joe didn’t think so. He said quietly, “You haven’t had a good rest during this period. It would be good to take an extra half day off to adjust yourself.”
Listening to his words, Jack stopped refusing, thanked Joe and left the company in a hurry.
Upon returning home, Jack hesitated a bit, holding the key with some hesitation.
“What are you doing standing at the door?”
As he was hesitating, a female voice suddenly came from behind him, and Jack turned around in surprise.
He saw Mandy holding a shopping bag in his hand, standing at the elevator entrance, and raising his eyebrows to see him.
“How did you…” Jack looked at Mandy surprisingly.
Mandy lifted the shopping bag in her hand and shook it, “There are too few things in your house that are suitable for me, so I went to buy some casually.”
Hearing what she meant, she probably wouldn’t be in a hurry to leave, and Jack felt a surge of joy in his heart.
“But how are you going to go back without the key?” Jack thought that he didn’t leave the key when he left, and Mandy could not go back after leaving the door.
Mandy smiled lightly, took out a master key from somewhere, and easily opened the door in front of Jack.
Jack was speechless.
Should he change the lock to be safer?
After they entered the door, Mandy casually threw the master key on the table, glanced at Jack and said, “Have a seat, I’ll service you a glass of water.”
Jack suddenly had an illusion, not knowing whether Mandy was the landlord or himself.
Mandy quickly brought a glass of water to Jack. Jack held the cup and looked at Mandy. Countless questions were stuck in his chest. He didn’t know what kind of reaction he should make.
After thinking about it for a while, Jack couldn’t help asking, “I saw someone chasing you that night. Who are they?”
Speaking of what happened that night, the gentle smile on Mandy’s face faded a little.
“Sorry, I just…” Jack noticed that Mandy was unhappy and apologized quickly.
