Leia paused for a moment before she replied obediently as before, "No problem."
As soon as she replied, she noticed a minute change in Deborah's expression.
An outsider might not have noticed it, but Leia had worked for Deborah for many years. She could detect even the slightest change in Deborah's expression.
"Ms. Johnson, please get some rest. I'll see myself out."
"Go ahead."
Leia sensed danger the moment she turned to leave. She quickly turned back and saw Deborah pointing a gun at her.
A gunshot rang. Leia managed to dodge in time. If she hadn't sensed that something was off, she would've died from Deborah's shot.
"Why, Ms. Johnson?" Leia looked at Deborah in confusion.
Deborah pointed the gun at Leia's torso. She figured that Leia couldn't escape anyway, so she told her the truth, "Do you think I wouldn't know that you're in love with Avery Fordham? You love him way too much. You'd never try to kill him."
"You were testing me?" Leia didn't expect Deborah to not trust her at all, even after so many years.
