Wearing A Mask
The thought of it made him sigh. Oh well, it’s not like I can do anything about it. My parents gave birth
to such a kind-hearted child, and I wouldn’t have the guts to make a woman suffer. I’m such a good
man.
At that moment, Sally was doing her tasks obediently. After a while, Juan got bored and left the
medication room.
Before he left, he even instructed someone to look over her just so she would not leave the place
secretly.
“Noted, Mr. Juan. I’ll keep my eyes on her.”
“Good. Report to me if you notice anything fishy.”
He left as soon as he made his instructions clear. Unexpectedly, she was nowhere to be seen when he
returned to the room two hours later.
What shocked him the most was that the pile of medicines had been arranged according to his orders.
How did she even do that? Most importantly, where the hell did she go? At that point, he was lost for
words.
“Where did she go? Didn’t I tell you to keep an eye on her and report to me if you find anything
suspicious?” Right then, he was livid.
“Mrs. Seet came and took her away. She informed me that it was unnecessary to report it to you.”
“What? Why would my mother come to take her away?”
“I’m not quite sure about that.”
Then and there, Juan became anxious. He was worried that something might happen to Nicole. Oh, no.
What if Sally hurt Mommy?
Pulling out his phone, he immediately dialed Nicole’s number.
“Mommy, where are you at the moment?”
“I’m in my office in the hospital. What’s the matter?”
“Where’s Sally?”
“She’s with me.”
Quickly, Juan dashed to Nicole’s office. As soon as he pushed the door open, he saw Sally and Nicole
chatting happily.
“How could you let Sally arrange everything in the medication room?” Nicole asked when Juan entered
the room.
“She’s here to show her support. So, what’s wrong with her helping out?” After that, he turned to look at
Sally suspiciously and asked her, “I find it odd that you’re able to get everything done so quickly. How
on earth did you do that?”
“I know a few tricks, and it’s all magic!” she joked in response.
Absolute nonsense. Juan was rendered speechless.
“Did you get someone to help you out? Otherwise, it’s impossible that you’d be able to get things done
so quickly.”
“That’s right. I got seven people in total to help!”
Seven? This woman… I shouldn’t have been so careless.
Juan was sure that he would keep his eyes on her next time around.
“Mrs. Seet, I’ve got something to do. So, please excuse me. I promise that I’ll come and help you out
whenever I have the time,” Sally said sweetly.
“All right. I’ll ask Juan to send you home.”
Turning his head, he stared at Sally and uttered, “Okay, I’ll send you home.”
As soon as his words fell, he stood up and walked out of the office with Sally.
A smirk appeared on Nicole’s face the moment the door was closed. Sally is truly a smart woman. She
is good with words, and she knows the right time to play dumb.
At that point, she finally realized that the woman who caught Sophia’s attention was indeed
extraordinary.
When Nicole was speaking to Sally earlier, she was trying her best to probe into Sally’s secret.
Regardless, her mission failed, as Sally brushed her off again and again.
Juan is a smart boy, too. Let’s see which one of them will have the last laugh.
After they left the hospital, Juan scrutinized Sally and asked, “Aren’t you tired of wearing a mask all the
time? Why don’t you just cut to the chase and tell me what you want? Perhaps I might even help you.”
Blinking her eyes innocently, she touched her face gently as she said, “What do you mean? I’m not
wearing a mask. This is the real me.”
“That’s it! Stop acting in front of me. I swear that I’ll expose your true colors!” Juan was livid as he
gritted his teeth.
“Do you truly want to know what I want?” Sally smiled slyly.
