“Francis…”
“Yes, what is it?”
Her words were stuck in her throat.
“Xara, we’re on good terms, aren’t we? Just speak your mind. As long as it’s within my ability, I’d doanything for you. Is there a dress you’d like? Or is there a handbag you can’t afford? Regardless, it’s alla piece of cake to me.
Xara was repulsed by Francis’ nonstop blabber about money, but she kept her composure. “You saidyou knew a general. May I know which general specifically?”
“Huh?”
Her words caught Francis off guard. However, he was quick to recollect hinself. “Surely you know of theBlithe King? I’m acquainted with Daniel, a one-star general under him,” He
bragged. Upon hearing this, Xara’s heart skipped a beat. Francis was acquainted with Daniel, anincredibly famous man in the Western Borders.
“C-Could you introduce me to him? I’d like to get a picture with him.”
“Uhm…”
Francis said with an uneasy look, “Xara, surely you know who General Highsmith is? Sure, I can reachhim on your behalf, but just who do you think you are? Do you think he’d agree to meet a nobody likeyou?”
Xara nodded.
He was right. It seemed she would never realize her dream.
She did not think much of it. She was just a little disappointed.
Soon, they arrived at the Gourmand.
The table Francis had reserved was located in the public hall.
It was currently lunchtime in Cansington, the land of the wealthy. Hence, all the private rooms had beenbooked out. Either way, Francis would only be able to afford the lowest priced Bronze room.
He had everything planned out. Knowing that Xara could not hold her liquor and would get drunk afterjust a sip, he planned to order a few bottles of wine while they dined.
Now, he just had to think of a way to make her drink. Only then would his plan come to fruition.
‘Dumb b*tch. Acting all upright and righteous? We’ll see about that after I get you in bed. He chuckledcoldly in his mind.
However, outwardly, he wore a smile as he warmly gestured for Xara to enter the Gourmand James,who was in close pursuit, entered behind Xara. He did not interrupt them. Unless things went south, hewould not make an appearance. He planned to pick Xara up only after they were done with lunch. That,to him, would qualify as a mission accomplished. Outside the Gourmand, in the open parking lot.James parked his car. Upon getting off, he glanced at a Jeep that had been tailing him. It was not toofar away. He walked toward it and gently knocked on the window. The window rolled down.
Daniel looked at James, embarrassed.
“General Highsmith, is everything alright at the military region? What’s with you following me around allday? Are you treating me as a suspect?” Daniel hurriedly explained, “Black… James, the Blithe Kingwas worried you might get into trouble, so he sent me to protect you in secret.”
“Protect me?”
James laughed. “General Highsmith, do you hear yourself? Do I look like someone who needs to beprotected? Tell the Blithe King to stop tailing me. I’ve been denied my freedom, and I feeluncomfortable.”
“B-But James…”
“Since you’re here, let’s have a meal together.” Now that they were at the hotel, James was feeling alittle hungry.
