Chapter 641 - Napping

"Someone is obviously framing me and trying to ruin my reputation using my private affairs. I will not let go of this!" Senator Rizza continued then she let the security lead her inside her house.

Her tone and facial expression are very different from what the public knows of her. She was always acting elegant, and charming. And as a sweet smile is always plastered on her face.

But after her dirty secrets have been revealed one after another, her facade is slowly crumbling down showing her true colors.

J smirk after watching the news. "She still acts like the victim in the situation that she created. And now she has the guts to flip the story and make it seem like she is innocent." J mumbled to herself.

Fortunately, the public is not that easily manipulated. They had seen through the Senator and will not easily believe what she says.

Outside Jacob's office, Arthur is waiting for J. He came before the time that she said she would be going to the factory. But, 15 minutes had already passed and she hasn't come out yet. She has never been late before. She has always been punctual.

So, he took out his phone and dialed her number.

But she didn't answer her phone. After three more attempts, she still didn't answer her phone. That's when Arthur started to worry.

He quickly opened the door of Jacob's office then walked towards the bookcase that serves as a hidden door. Using the passcode that Jacob gave him to access the room, he opened the door to check out on J.

Only he and James were entrusted with the passcode. Jacob thought that it is necessary that Arthur has access to their home in case of emergency and Jacob is not around.

Arthur cautiously opened the door. Once he did, he looked around, his eyes and movement were in full alert. He takes a step inside until he saw J on the sofa who seemed to be asleep.

He was flustered at first. He never knew that she takes a nap in the afternoon.

He takes a closer look to check if she is just really taking a nap. Noticing the rhythm of her breath, he confirmed that she is indeed napping so he decided to leave. But before he did, he scanned her surroundings and even checked outside the window for any signs of threat thou it seems impossible while she is inside the Twelve Army headquarters.

After two hours, J woke up. She looked at the 3D frameless wall clock and found out that it is almost time for her to meet Stefan in the shooting range.

Earlier while scanning the channels of on the TV, she felt her eyes getting heavy so she decided to take a nap for a few minutes. She can't believe that her supposed few minutes nap turns in two hours.

She looked at her phone and found that she missed a call from Arthur and Jacob. She called Jacob first.

"Hey, I'm sorry I fell asleep and didn't get to answer your call." She said as soon as Jacob answered.

"It's fine. I called Arthur when you are not answering my call and found out that you fell asleep on the sofa." She heard Jacob said and was confused.

"How did he found out that I fell asleep?" She asked confused then she looked around the living room to find if there is any CCTV camera. But she didn't find any.

"You had us worried when you were not answering our call. Arthur has the passcode in our house so he checked you out and found out that you were asleep on the sofa. Were you that tired?"

"Oh...I'm sorry about that. I just fell asleep and woke up just now." J said feeling guilty that she made the guys worried about her.

Then Jacob went silent.

"Honey, are you feeling okay?" Jacob said after a while.

"Yes. I just fell asleep after watching the TV." J replied.

"Okay. If you're tired, you can stay at home for the rest of the day. You don't have to go to the shooting range."

J frowned. She was looking forward to going to the factory and the shooting range, she just fell asleep. She would hate staying at home without anything to do. "No. I'm fine. I'll be heading out now."

"Are you sure?" Jacob's voice was filled with concern.

"Yes," J replied quickly.

"Okay, don't forget to call Arthur and take him with you."

"Yes, I will."

"Good, I'll hang up now. I'll see you later. I love you." Jacob said thou he was hesitant to let J out of the house. He thought that it was unusual for her to take a nap in the afternoon. In the short period that he had known her, he knew that she never takes a nap in the afternoon. So, he was worried that she might not be feeling well.

"Okay, I love you too," J replied.
