“I was waiting for you." Pierre was smoking a cigarette and sitting in the car with one of his legs on the ground. He looked lazy.

The smile on Jean's smile disappeared. Pierre was waiting for him.

Jean would take different paths every day. However, Pierre had easily found him and stopped him at the junction. It clearly showed that he was capable enough to find his whereabouts.

Otherwise, he would not have blocked him at this junction.

"Mr. Mallory, what's the matter?" Jean moved his motorcycle beside. He dared not to run away.

Even though it was an alley and he could just turn around and escape on his motorcycle, Pierre would be able to block him again if he had already done it once.

There was no way for him to escape, so he had no choice but to face Pierre.

Pierre gave Jean a malicious look. Jean was trembling with fear. "Are you shaking? Am I that scary?"

"No. I just feel a little cold." Jean refused to admit that he was scared of him.

"Cold?" Pierre sneered and invited him, saying, "Mind getting in the car and having a talk with me? My car has a heater."

Jean shook his head immediately. He did not have the guts to get into Pierre's car. "No, no. My shirt is dirty. I'm afraid that I'll ruin your car. Mr. Mallory, what can I do for you?"

When he asked the question again, Pierre did not beat about the bush and asked, "Did you forget what I asked you to do?"

Jean shook his head immediately. He was shaking in front of him like a mouse surrounded by a cat. He was too afraid to move.

"I didn't. How dare I forget your orders?"
