Chapter 620 - 628: You Are Going Home
Yes. Jane Sampson had just finished a game, and upon hearing Mair Williams ask this question, she really took the question seriously and thought about it.
James Black’s memory was so frighteningly good; he’d always bring up things from her childhood that even she didn’t remember. His reading speed was fast as well, flipping through pages, yet he was able to quickly remember what he saw. Peter Gingery had mentioned that they had trained for this, each having their own memory techniques.
Therefore, Jane thought, the members of the guard team probably didn’t have memory much worse than that, so she nodded and gave Mair a definite yes in response.
"That’s good," Mair breathed a sigh of relief, figuring maybe the black-face instructor was a bit busy now, so she’d wait a bit longer.
After dropping off Mair, the car took more than half an hour to get downstairs to Jane’s building. Jane said her thanks and goodbyes to everyone and then took her suitcase up to her apartment.
Once home, Jane didn’t do anything; she crawled back into bed to catch up on sleep.
A Sunday morning is suited for sleeping in seriously.
At the guard team base, because their sister-in-law had already left, the teammates felt sad for a while, and those who had received red berry jam from Jane were proudly showing off in front of their teammates.
Everyone really wanted to ask James Black when their sister-in-law would return to the guard team, but due to James’s authority, not a single person dared to ask.
After lunch, Peter Gingery saw James Black taking the car keys to go driving and followed him to ask casually, "Brother, are you going out this afternoon?"
"Yes, heading to the city for a meeting," James replied, "There’s a dinner arranged after the meeting. I’ll probably be late, so I won’t return to the guard team tonight."
"So you’re going home?" Peter’s smile gradually widened, "Does Jane know?"
"What do you think?" James responded with a displeased counter-question.
Peter chuckled, thinking to himself that it’s no wonder James had so resolutely said he wouldn’t send Jane off in the morning. He had initially thought it was because James felt that watching her for six days was enough and nothing to miss, but it turned out he was waiting for this moment.
Not sending her off because he planned to be home tonight.
Certainly, there was nothing to miss if he could see her again in the evening.
"If you dare tell Jane, you’ll be in for it when I get back," James threatened Peter, and seeing Peter just standing there with a goofy smile and not saying a word, his voice grew colder, "Didn’t you hear what I said?"
"Chief, Sir! Understood!" Peter responded loudly, then hee-hee-heed and ran off laughing.
If James hadn’t said anything, Peter was indeed ready to tip Jane off in advance, but now that James had threatened him, Peter really didn’t have the guts to give Jane a heads-up.
At home, Jane slept until one-thirty in the afternoon before waking up. After waking, she ordered some takeaway and personally started cleaning up the entire place inside and out.
By the time it was due for the next meal, Jane, alone, couldn’t be bothered to cook. She thought about it and called Nina Rice, hoping to invite Nina to have a meal with her. However, Nina happened to be out of town, and Jane’s plan fell through.
So Jane’s dinner was still takeaway.
Dragging her feet until seven o’clock, Jane finally ordered some porridge as a treat for her stomach, then felt somewhat bored, lying like a corpse on the sofa in the living room. It really wasn’t a habit yet coming out from the guard team base, where there were always people around her, bustling with noise. Once home, it was eerily quiet.
Fortunately, she was starting a new job tomorrow morning. She would be flying to City S early to film a lipstick advertisement. So, the only time she would be at home was just tonight.
