Chapter 122 - Am I that Bad?

Thinking about Lance she remembered to call him and trouble him for something. She sits down beside the table and searched for her list of contacts. When she found it, she pressed the screen and dialed his number. After a couple of rings, he answered the phone.

"Hey!" J was the first one to speak.

"Hey, how're you doing lately? Did something come up?" J heard his energetic voice and a genuine smile appeared in the corner of her lips. She missed bonding with him. Being with him means no dull moment. How long has it been? Five years? It's been five years since they had seen each other, been together and had a good carefree talk with no worries. But due to some circumstances, they have to stop seeing each other. Hopefully not for long.

"Hmmm... nothing much. How are you?" the words just came out of her mouth. Lance was taken aback. Just since when did she called him just to ask him how is he? Lance laughed. "What's wrong with you? Did you get a rare disease or something? Or... wait a minute... don't tell me you're pregnant?!" Lance' last words were whimsical.

J's cheeks turned pink when she remembered the passionate lovemaking that she and Jacob did last night. She shakes her head to erase that image from her head.

She winced then said, "Am I that bad?" "Yeah," Lance replied matter of factly. Then J heard Lance laughed. "Straight to the point! What do you want?! I'll be attending a meeting on your behalf in half an hour." J pursed her lips.

"Have you found the Elder Parker?" she asked directly which Lance replied with a "No." directly.

"I want you to find some persons for me. I want to know their whereabouts." J followed up her questions immediately.

"Okay, bring it on!" Lance replied not wasting any minute.

"Sano twins. I want to know where they are." when J said that, there was silence on the other line.

After a couple of seconds, she heard Lance sigh, "They're dead. What do you want from them?"

J was dumbstruck. Dead? How did it happen? Jacob said that they were in police custody.

"What do you mean they're dead?" J blinked her eyes in curiosity.

"I heard that last night, Peter and his group was about to set them up including CEO Wang and were just waiting for the police to arrest them. But their plan failed. Apparently, someone killed the Sano Twins. I have no details as to who killed them but that's what I heard."

J was speechless. Last night, they were killed. Last night she was rescued by Jacob from them. Was it just a coincidence? Her instinct tells her that Jacob has something to do with their death. But... why would he do that? Was it because of her?

"Hey! J! Are you still there?" J snapped out of her thoughts when she heard Lance' voice.

"Uh... how about CEO Wang?" she asked.
