Love Contract novel Chapter 380

The four of them staggered back to the hotel. They stumbled through the door of the room and Lucas and Archer fell asleep the second they lay down.

"These two really can't handle their drink. But they're quite well behaved, even gentle when they are drunk." Jazlyn threw Lucas on the bed. "He's so heavy!" she heaved.

"They're not bad drinkers," Aisha added, smiling with her eyebrows raised, "They're just not as good as us."

"Hold that thought, I'm going to throw up," Jazlyn said, taking a deep breath and holding it in. "One more sip and I'll collapse."

"Loser!" Aisha glanced at Jazlyn as the two of them slowly and carefully left the room. Suddenly, she said, "Oh, by the way, once we're back in A City tomorrow, we have a mission."

Jazlyn nodded seriously in response.

The door clicked closed and Archer's eyes suddenly opened in the darkness. He frowned as he looked around, and gradually, a dim light revealed itself in his eyes.

The next day, the four of them met with William and Mary and went up the mountain to pay respect to Mary's mother.

Aisha seemed indifferent, emotionless even. She thought about how sad her mother must have been to find out her newborn girl was "dead". Just having someone love her with all her heart would have been enough for her.

Jazlyn insisted on riding with Aisha on the way back, while Lucas ran happily to Archer's car, without any objection.

"What's wrong with this Jazlyn?" Lucas complained angrily, plonking himself down in the passenger seat. "She's so temperamental, always changing her mind!"

Archer shrugged, not responding to his whining. "Let's roll!"

They traveled through the night, rushing back to A City. They stopped in front of Kary Villa and Mary got off the car and turned to Aisha. "Aisha, would you like to stay in the villa with me?"

"No, thank you. It's not convenient," Aisha replied, not getting out of the car. She waved from the driver's seat and said, "I already have a place to stay. I'm going to go now."

Mary paused for a moment, recalling the real job she had told her about yesterday. She nodded, "If you need anything, call me!"

"Yes, I will!” Aisha nodded back, started the car and drove off with Jazlyn beside her.

"Why are they in such a hurry?" Lucas asked, pursing his lips in his displeasure. "What are they going to do?" There seemed to be a slightest hint of sensitivity showing itself through his cynical expression. He might have even been a little upset, though he was doing all he could not to show it.

Archer stared in the direction they had sped off in, frowning and saying nothing.

"You can leave now. Bye!" William said, taking Mary's hand and leading her into the villa.

"Humph..." Lucas snorted. He turned to glare at William's back with contempt. "You are indeed heartless!" he shouted.

In the car, Jazlyn quickly removed her coat, revealing her tight black leather suit underneath.

"Where are we going, boss?"

"Green Bay Pier."

The sounds of the ships echoed across the sky, a backing-track to the workers' cries that rang out one after the other. Work continued as it always did, everything moving ordinarily and orderly. This scene was typical for a morning at Green Bay Pier.

Massive containers were piled up on top of each other on the wharf and people walked through the tiny gaps between them, Just then, a group of people appeared in front of a remote warehouse. They were moving quickly and cautiously.

Another group came out of the warehouse at almost the exact same time. The two sides exchanged glances of acknowledgement with each other and warily made their way in.

With a metallic squeak, the warehouse door closed heavily, with several guards left outside, patrolling up and down in front of it.

"Boss, what should we do?" Jazlyn asked, keeping her voice low as she surveyed the scene.

"Wait for me. I'll take a look at them." Aisha got out of the corner, wearing her own tight black suit. She looked strong and intimidating, "Wait for me here with others."

With that, she turned back towards the warehouse, taking a roundabout route to avoid the guards. When she got up to it, she stepped on piles of industrial sundries and jumped onto the roof, keeping silent all the while. Her movements were quick and agile, like a shadow flowing through the dark.
