Chapter 747 A Close Call
It was a muscular, sharp-eyed security guard. As he approached Josie, the latter took a deep breath and pretended calm. Fortunately, she was dressed in a staff uniform.
“I’m a staff here.” She looked straight into the guard’s eyes, striving to remain composed.
“All staff should know the basement is a forbidden ground.” The security shone his flashlight on her face while examining her cold-bloodedly.
Luckily, Josie had put on makeup to disguise herself, so the guard couldn’t see her actual appearance. “Your name?” He asked.
Josie remembered the name tag on her uniform. “J-Jane.”
The guard moved the flashlight to her chest. Indeed, the name on the name tag matched.
“What are you doing here?”
“To send something over.”
The guard glanced behind Josie and asked suspiciously. What is it?”
It’s something important. I can’t tell you.” Josie pressed her lips.
“Hmph!” The guard scoffed. “You better confess now before it’s not too late. This is for your own good. If exposed later, the consequence will be more than just dying.”
Josie clenched her fists. “I came to the basement to carry out Mr. Dalton’s order. I’m not telling you for your own good too.” She staunchly mentioned Wayne, which made the guard hesitate briefly, knowing Wayne had indeed come today. However, he remained doubtful. “Mr. Dalton has left already. Why are you still here?”
Josie smiled. “I was about to leave, but then you stopped me.”
The guard moved his flashlight away as he was slightly convinced but remained vigilant. Josie continued, “You better let me go already. You wouldn’t want to annoy Mr. Dalton and end up like the bodyguards. today who lost their fingers, would you?”
Her tone was cold, and with the incident that had actually happened, the guard was completely convinced. He waved his hand impatiently and said, “Quickly leave.”
Josie remained calm. Before leaving, she purposely blurted, “I can’t believe someone senseless like you can be a security guard.”
“You…”
Only after entering the elevator did Josie heave a sigh of relief. Her back was drenched with sweat.
Just as she thought everything was over, she saw a familiar figure walking toward her the moment she stepped out of the lift. The figure was skinny and short. The way he walked looked familiar, too, like the intruder the other day.
Josie was stunned. A chill ran down her spine.
That person had a picture in his hand and was inquiring with a staff.

Just then, the person walked forward and lifted his head. He almost saw Josie, but someone suddenly covered Josie’s mouth from behind and dragged her to the corner.
“Mmm!”
“It’s me!” When the person released Josie, she turned around and was flabbergasted to see Arnold. “What are you doing here?”
Arnold wore a hat and a mask, revealing only his dark eyes. “That’s what I should ask you. Why were you spacing out just now?”
While Arnold asked the question, the man walked past the corridor. Josie only dared to answer Arnold. after the man walked away. “It’s him.”
It was an ambiguous response, but Arnold understood. His eyes turned ferocious. Without saying anything else, he grabbed Josie and returned to the room.
Because they were registered as guests, the staff did not inspect their room, so they were safe.
“Where did you go?” Josie removed her mask immediately after entering the room.
Arnold narrowed his eyes dangerously. “I’ll send you away tonight. I’ve underestimated Wayne. As long as you’re here, he can definitely find you. If that happens, I won’t be able to protect you.”
Send me away?
