Janet and Draco sat in the backseat while Mesue drove. Draco leaned against the window to rest a bit after giving the address to Mesue. He looked rather haggard. He had just recovered from a terrible condition after all. As the car navigated the heavy traffic, Draco kept staring out the window.
Dalores had been with them when they made their way to the studio, so it had been inconvenient for Janet to discuss what had happened on the plane. She decided to make her apologies now. "Mr. Wesley... I want to apologize for getting you involved this time."
Draco placed his elbow against the glass window, his side profile turned to her. "It's all in the past now. Why bring it up again? I told you before you left for Northcliffe that you were not to blame."
Janet then changed the topic. "With Jorge being dead, the investigation of the culprit was forced to put to an end."
A chill flashed through Draco's eyes. "Are you saying the actual murderer would continue to cause harm to you?"
Janet let out a sigh. "Jorge's death was definitely not part of their plan. From my guess, the culprit may lay low for a while. Still, I can't tell what the future holds." After thinking a while, she went on, "I only fear it would bring trouble to W Marks, so I want to be honest with you." Janet then anxiously waited for Draco's response.
"Do you wish to leave W Marks?" Draco's expression was indifferent, as though he was just asking casually.
Janet responded instantly, "Of course not. I like my job at W Marks and my colleagues."
A smile formed on Draco's face. He adjusted his posture a little and said, "I hadn't expected that you'd have such a thrilling life. You're almost like a secret agent in the movie, with design being just a small part of your life." He still had an indifferent expression, but his tone, however, was calm and gentle.
