Chapter 68
Chapter 68 The Forest
Bosses always want their workers to be responsible, seems like this rich boss right here was hinting that he needed his bed lover to be responsible now,
Although Lance hinted me, he didn't touch me last night.
After breakfast, Lance told me to stay in the mansion and don't go out. He needed to meet some friends and it wasn't suitable to bring me along. I said okay, since I needed to check out the underground room. When he left, I started to wander around the mansion. His house was really huge, I got lost in the middle of wandering around and couldn't even find the underground room Niklaus told me about.
I didn't want to be so obvious so I pretended like I was trying to find the wine cellar and asked the servants. The rich always have a wine cellar, right? I thought Lance might be the same as well. The servants told me there was no wine cellar here, but there's a glass cupboard full of wine in the 3rd floor.
They were all the wines that Lance collected. The servant asked me if I wanted to drink wine, and told me that all his wine are very expensive and are like treasure to him. She said to not touch it if he didn't give his permission.
I said alright
I didn't find out anything from the servants, so I started to panic. What if I couldn't find the underground room?
There's a huge forest behind his house and it looked dark and scary. I slowly walked towards I was curious. I wanted to know if there would be anything inside.
The forest was surrounded with wires. Why did he surround a forest with wires? Was he hiding something?
I looked around and still couldn't find any entrance. Since I have been doing my own chores at a young age, I was able to climb up the wires slowly and carefully. When I got in, I smelled something weird, like raw flesh and meat.
Raw flesh? I widened my eyes, don't tell me someone died here......
What was Lance up to? Why did he even have a piece of land here, a forest, and surrounded it up with wires? He must be hiding a secret.
I admit that my imagination is a little to creative, but I knew for sure Lance was
hiding something, and he's done dirty business for sure.
Perhaps this piece of forest would reveal his ugly and dark side? It made me even more excited
I didn't know who gave me extra guts but I walked further into the forest, the smell got stronger and stronger. My heart was beating fast.
I clenched my hands into fist, convincing myself to stay calm and don't scare myself.
Suddenly, I heard a howl. It sounded like a wolf, and far away from me, I saw a pair of green shiny eyes staring at me. I realized I was in danger and started to run.
But of course, I wouldn't outrun two wolves, right? They started to run very fast towards me.
I didn't only failed to find out about what Lance was hiding, I also nearly lost my life
here.
I hadn't even reach the wires and the two wolves had already surrounded me. I was stuck in between them.
The two white wolves howled at me. I couldn't think or move, I might become their lunch.
I was extremely terrified, my mouth was shaking, my teeth were clattering.
Right at this moment, I wished someone could save me, even if it is Lance Mason. I didn't want to die, i still had many things to achieve, I still hadn't avenge myself, I didn't want to die like that! But the two wolves slowly approached me, opening their wide mouths.
They just needed to take one step and jump on me, then I'm dead. I would become their lunch. I didn't dare to even imagine that scene.
I screamed out loud for help, hoping that someone would hear me.
The two wolves must have been triggered by my scream. They were going to jump on me but suddenly I heard 2 gunshots.
Then the two wolves fell on the ground lifelessly, blood stained the ground. Lance Mason appeared in front of me with a gun in his hands. He slapped me hard.
He yelled: "Who allowed you to come here? Are you out of your f*cking mind?!”
The two wolves scared the hell out of me, plus the gunshot terrified me too. My knees gave out and I fell to the ground.
Lance came and held me up by my waists, using his body as a wall for me to lean against
"Answer me!" He yelled once again.
He was glaring at me with extreme anger. I knew if I simply give him an excuse, he wouldn't believe me. But I couldn't just tell him that I thought he murdered someone here, right? ..... I was bored and curious so I came out to have a look." I lied. It was a stupid reason, but I still said it, because I couldn't make up any excuses on the spot.
"Bored and curious? Then how did you come in?" Lance's voice was cold like ice, slicing through my skin.
"......I climbed in from the fence, the wire fence." I answered him honestly.
Lance glanced at the fence and scoffed: "How bored were you to climb up such tall fence? Plus you're a woman!"
I knew he was being sarcastic, I lowered down my head and accepted his scolding. At this time, I should remain silent.
Lance brought me out of the forest and back into our room. He gave me a cold glare and
said: "Jennie, you better stop your plots and intentions. Don't think other people are stupid. You think you're the only smart person here? I know what you are thinking, you plan to find
if I have any criminal records and report me, right? Hahaha...... you're so naïve I want to laugh."
I was stunned, I never thought he would know everything that I was thinking of. How did he guessed what I was plotting just by looking at me? Why did I still fail to read him even when I try to observe him everyday and even slept beside him every night?
Is this the difference between us? Will he always be the winner, and I, the loser?
If so, then what I had been doing for so long, must have been a joke to him.
"Why aren't you speaking? I guessed correctly, right? I don't want to warn you or anything anymore, if you play any games with me, I will send you back to enjoy your jail food." And with that, he turned around and left the room.
What did he say? He don't mind sending me back to jail? The jail, a place that I never want to step into ever again, that is hell, not jail.
I sat on the ground in the room, laughing at myself. I never expected myself to be such a failure. Lance could guess anything by just spending time with me, and yet here I was trying to plot his death. This was the biggest joke of my life.
So, what now? What do I do?
Did he find out about me looking at his project files about the Lay Water Park?
