Chapter 10 They Were Found

However, when he spun around, he only glimpsed the sides of the woman and kid.

The boy was little and walked closely next to the woman with his short legs. The woman had slowed her pace, so it wasn’t hard for him to catch up with her.

The woman looked slim, even a little bit fragile. Most of her small face was covered by her oversized sunglasses, but the uncovered lower part of her face was exquisite and pleasing to the eye.

Draxton somehow found the woman familiar.

He didn’t rudely stare at them and averted his eyes

But inexplicably, he kept seeing that woman and boy in his mind’s eye, especially that woman and her delicate jawline.

Out of the blue, Draxton pulled up short, and the expression on his face changed.

James Beck, his assistant, gave a start and almost collided with his back. The silver–brimmed glasses James wore jerked with his movements and almost fell off his face.

James pushed his glasses up hastily and asked in a low voice, “Mr. Lockwood, what’s wrong? Are we being stalked?”

James was not being paranoid. It was just that Draxton’s safety took the top priority, and so many people were lurking out there waiting for a chance to take Draxton’s life.

Although bodyguards were protecting Draxton in secret, James automatically became on edge.

The two figures were becoming smaller and smaller in the crowd, but he caught sight of them nonetheless.

James followed his gaze in bemusement but saw nothing.

Draxton lifted his wiry, long leg again and strode forward.

James quickly caught up with him. “Mr. Lockwood, did you notice anything suspicious?”
