"When the time comes, I will keep my promise and help you complete the mission."
"I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be going now."
After saying that, Hunter ignored Perkins and left the hotel directly.
At the same time!
In an apartment on the outskirts of New York!
Jane Smith parked the car, grabbed the groceries from the passenger seat, and slowly got out.
"Hello, Mrs. Smith."
Jane looked over at the sound and saw her neighbor watering his lawn with a hose.
Seeing this, a professional smile immediately appeared on her face.
"Hello, Mr. Lagarde."
Jane shook the brown paper bag full of groceries in her arms and said, "Please excuse me for not being able to chat for long; my husband is about to come home."
"Please, go ahead!"
After entering the house, Jane quickly took off her professional jacket.
She carried the groceries toward the kitchen.
Her husband worked in international trade, primarily dealing in wine and spirits.
Therefore, he also needed to travel frequently, just like Jane.
Today was the day her husband was returning home after a business trip of over a week.
Normally, Jane should have used her less-than-stellar Cooking today to prepare a relatively lavish dinner for her husband.
In the past, even when Jane was in her worst mood...
...she would still prepare such a dinner made with love for her husband.
But this time, Jane had no interest at all.
No!
It should be said that ever since twenty-odd days ago, when the last assassination contract organized by the company failed and she was once again 'handled' by that handsome Asian Youth...
Jane didn't know what was wrong with her!
After returning to New York from Los Angeles, she couldn't help but frequently think of that young Asian's handsome face.
Thinking of that night's tossing and turning, her own undignified screams, and that monster's stamina.
"I can't think about it anymore!"
Picking up a knife, Jane shook her head, trying to shake the image of that handsome Asian Youth out of her mind.
But for some reason, the more she tried not to think about it...
...the clearer that figure became in her mind instead.
She knew this was very bad!
Ever since she was kindly rescued by her current husband in Colombia a few years ago...
Jane suddenly felt as if she had fallen in love.
After that, the sweet period after the honeymoon passed.
A dull life soon began to consume Jane's feelings for her husband. She even started visiting bars and nightclubs again just like before she was married, occasionally looking for some excitement to fill her inner emptiness.
But Jane had never even considered the idea of divorcing her husband.
However, since returning from Los Angeles twenty-odd days ago, this thought had somehow begun to appear frequently.
Jane didn't know what was wrong with her right now.
For a moment, she fell into a state of anxiety, panic, and unease.
"Clack!"
The door opened, and then a familiar voice called back Jane, who had spaced out again without realizing it.
"Honey, I'm home."
Jane turned around and saw her husband's familiar figure.
Seeing that greasy figure, she subconsciously compared him once again to that handsome young Asian for some reason.
With this comparison, the irritability in Jane's heart increased once more.
Seeing her husband, who reeked of alcohol and a complex scent of perfume, opening his arms to come over and give her a hug...
Jane subconsciously raised the knife in her hand, which gave her husband a start.
She also snapped back to her senses and quickly put on a professional fake smile, saying to him, "You're back, dear."
"I'm sorry, there was too much work at the company, so I also got back late."
"Wait a moment, dinner might be a bit late today."
After saying that, she lowered her head to process the ingredients...
