Day Sixty-Two…
~~*****~~
[ At Mr. Hiroshi's Private Villa… ]
Jane and Abigail accompanied Mr. Hiroshi to his newly bought villa. The three of them would start living in this house together. Kazuki started installing more cameras and anti-intruder devices, strengthening the security in the vicinity of the villa.
After what happened yesterday, Kazuki ensured the safety of the Hiroshi Family. Their lives were always in danger. Until now, the real culprit in Abigail and Nathan's accident hadn't been caught yet.
Jane approached the man who was busy mandating and giving orders to his subordinates. "Uncle. Take a break first. Here. Have your snacks." Jane offered him some drinks and snacks.
Kazuki sat down together with Jane. "Sigh. Where is my son when I badly needed him?"
Jane smiled at him, feeling a little bit guilty. She was the reason why Tatsumi didn't return to Country M with them. Tatsumi flew to Country R right away to start gathering information about the leader of the Stallion King. It was all because of her request.
"He didn't tell me his whereabouts." Kazuki sighed deeply, lamenting to her.
"Uncle, don't be upset. He might be doing something important out there." Jane tried to appease the old man.
"Anyway. I will just summon Hanabi here. I don't know if you can still remember her. She was your playmate before. Your father's goddaughter."
Since Mr. Hiroshi would be staying in Country M for a while, he needed to summon their most elite members like Hanabi. In Kazuki's mind, Not only Mr. Hiroshi but both his daughters needed protection.
"I would love to meet her. Unfortunately, I don't have a recollection of her. I lost my memory during the accident in my childhood years." Jane had forgotten how she got separated from her mother. She just woke up, learning that she was saved by Miss Frost.
"You will like her. She is excited to see you and Abigail. I've told her that we found you." Kazuki smiled as he recalled his conversation with Hanabi.
"Tell her to come here as soon as possible. I'll tour her around the city." Jane would like to meet her old friend.
"Yeah. I already booked her plane ticket. She might arrive by tomorrow." Kazuki said cheerfully. "By the way, how is your vacation trip with my son? Did you get to know him better?" The old man was feeling hopeful. He didn't give up the idea of matching the two of them.
"We get along really well. I know he is someone I can rely on. He is dependable just like you, Uncle." Jane just smiled faintly. She didn't spend much time with Tatsumi. But she was able to reveal her secret identity to him. Because of that, she thought the two of them started to share a special bond.
The old man was very satisfied to hear that. "I'm glad he didn't create trouble during your vacation."
Jane let out a soft giggle. She thought Mr. Kazuki was worrying about his son too much. He should trust him a little more.
"Uncle, the reason why I'm here is that I want to ask for an update. Did you capture the person responsible for the explosion? Have you found the missing bodyguards?" Jane wanted to make sure that the culprit would be punished.
Kazuki shook his head in disappointment. "Sad to say, we haven't found them yet. We are still investigating who orchestrated the explosion. Nathan is helping us."
Jane's eyes shone at the mention of Nathan's name. 'Gosh. I already miss him.'
"Nate is working hard," she mumbled.
"Of course, he has to show off what he can do. Your father is watching." Kazuki thought Nathan would be Mr. Hiroshi's future son-in-law. But the woman he was going to marry was Abigail. They were still clueless that Abigail had already broken up with him.
Jane just put on a faint smile. She knew what Kazuki was thinking. But later on, she would prove them wrong. Nathan must fall for her, not for her sister or anyone else.
Kazuki began eating his snacks when Jane's phone beeped. She received a message from someone. It was Vincent. He texted her the time and place where they would meet up today. Jane checked the time. She still has three hours left before lunchtime.
She agreed to meet with Black Rose first, bringing her to her secret hideout.
"Uncle, look after my father. I will just go out and meet Cherry." Jane said goodbye to him. She had three appointments today. First, she was going to meet Cherry. Second, she would eat lunch with Vincent. And third, she had another hypnosis session at Stephen's place. She was a busy woman who was up against time.
"Okay. You should bring some bodyguards!" Kazuki suggested. He was about to call someone when Jane grabbed his hand, stopping him.
"No, Uncle. I can protect myself. I don't need bodyguards. Besides, our men are busy searching for their missing comrades. Don't bother them." Jane politely refused him.
She didn't wait for Kazuki to reply. She hugged him before running away. She couldn't afford to have bodyguards right now. She needed to move without being watched by anyone.
When Jane left, Kazuki could only sigh helplessly. "This lady also inherits my Master's stubbornness." Just thinking about that, Kazuki remembered someone who could provide assistance.
He dialed Nathan's number. He was someone whom he could trust in Country M. Nathan answered his call right away.
"Hello, Mr. Kazuki?"
"Hi, Mr. Sparks. Did I disturb you?" Kazuki asked Nathan.
"No. Why? Do you need anything?" Nathan stopped what he was doing and focused on this call.
"Yes. Do you have available men? Can you send someone who will follow and guard our Young Miss?" Kazuki said without beating around the bush.
"Who's Young Miss?" Nathan asked, wondering if he was referring to Abigail or Jane.
"Miss Jane," Mr. Kazuki promptly replied. "She went out to meet her friend, Cherry. But I am still worried because I'm not certain when our enemies will strike again. What if this time they will attack my master's daughters?"
"Okay. I understand. I will assign someone to follow her." Nathan agreed almost immediately.
"Thanks a lot, Mr. Sparks. The majority of our men are searching for their missing comrades so I don't have enough manpower as of now." Kazuki explained the situation.
"It's alright. Leave it to me." Nathan reassured him.
When the call ended, Nathan contemplated whom he would send to safeguard Jane. He was about to send a message to Chantha when suddenly he changed his mind. He deleted his message without sending it.
Then Nathan looked at his schedule. He didn't have an important appointment today, thinking he was free.
He grabbed his laptop and started typing. He launched a tracking app. He traced Jane's current location using her phone number and signal.
Nathan waited for Jane to reach her destination before he stood up and packed his things. He decided to follow her today. 'This woman tends to create trouble. I should keep her in check.' He thought to himself, justifying his decision. Grabbing his car keys, Nathan left his office. He was going to follow Jane secretly.
