All she wanted to know was when Kyson would come to see her. Her impatience got the better of her, and she questioned Jamie, “When will he come to see me?”
“Perhaps he’ll come after you finish your lunch,” Jamie replied, a glimmer of mischief twinkling in his eyes.
As soon as he finished speaking, he winked at the two other bodyguards standing behind him. They quickly approached Sonny, intending to frisk him.
Sonny, now on high alert, braced himself and demanded, “What do you think you’re doing?”
Stepping forward, Lucinda interjected, her voice tinged with indignation, “What does this mean? Does he not trust me, or is he afraid that I might pose a threat to him?”
Jamie calmly explained, “Miss Simmons, please cooperate. It’s our duty in Eurfrica to check for any weapons or dangerous items.”
“We were already searched before boarding the plane. There’s no need to do it again,” Lucinda sneered.
“I’m sorry, but we have to follow orders. Please cooperate,” Jamie insisted, his tone unwavering.
He motioned for the other two bodyguards to proceed with the search, starting with Sonny.
Reluctant to touch Lucinda, they summoned a maid to conduct the frisking instead.
After finding nothing suspicious, they proceeded to open her suitcases. Among her belongings, they noticed a delicate toy plane that caught their attention.
Jamie was about to pick it up for a closer inspection, but Lucinda stopped him.

“Stop! That’s a gift from my brother. It’s expensive, and if it gets damaged, even your boss won’t be able to afford the compensation! Let alone you!”
Caught off guard, Jamie withdrew his hand, the disappointment evident on his face.

With the search finally concluded, he instructed the bodyguards to confiscate all communication devices from the suitcases.
They took a laptop, Bluetooth headset, pen with a recording function, and anything else that was electronic. Their demands even extended to Lucinda’s and Sonny’s cell phones and Sonny’s electronic watch.
Exasperated, Lucinda exclaimed as she looked at them in disbelief, “We can’t live without our cell phones these days! Isn’t he going too far?”
Jamie remained unmoved. He bowed politely and said, “Miss Simmons, I apologize. We’re just following orders. When my boss arrives, you can discuss it with him directly.”
“Get out. I need to rest,” she snapped, realizing negotiation was futile.
With no room for negotiation, there was no need for her to be kind to these intruders. She gestured for Sonny to escort them out and he quickly obliged.
With a loud slam, the door closed behind the other men.
Peering through the thin white curtain, Lucinda and Sonny observed their departure.
Jamie left two bodyguards stationed at the door while he drove away alone.
In the premise, a maid diligently went about her cleaning duties in the courtyard, oblivious to the turmoil unfolding within the walls.
