Chapter 87 Another Girl's Invitation

It was almost noon when Jacques and Cassandra's flight training ended.

"Our rhythm is already in sync. The next step is to practice your knife throwing accuracy in flight mode. Well, Dinah, have you used up the training room? I want to use it for training in the afternoon—"

Cassandra walked side by side with Jacques on the stairs. When she was summarizing today's training results, she happened to bump into Dinah in the corridor.

As soon as Dinah saw Cassandra and Jacques, she immediately lowered her head and ran away in a hurry without answering Cassandra's words.

Seeing this, Cassandra shrugged and said with a light sigh.

"It seems that she still doesn't have a good impression of me. Although I don't care, I hope she won't bring this emotion to the task."

But Jacques stared at the back of Dinah walking away, and after a moment of stunned, he suddenly remembered what he had forgotten.

He hasn't explained to Dana what happened in the training room yet!Dinah didn't do it for Cassandra, she obviously wanted to avoid it because she saw Jacques.

"Sorry, I'll talk about Cassandra later—"

After Jacques left this sentence, he hurriedly tried to catch up with Dinah. When he ran to the dormitory area and saw Dinah's back, the girl saw him catching up, and instead sped up and ran into her in the room.

"Wait, Dinah, I have something to say—"

Bang.

Running in hallways is dangerous, that's pretty obvious.A door next to it suddenly opened, and the people who came out and Jacques couldn't avoid it and bumped into each other.

"careful!"

Although he was hit suddenly, Jacques quickly maintained his balance with his current physical fitness. At the same time, he subconsciously stretched out his hand to pull the hit figure, and pulled the opponent who was about to fall into his arms.

Strangely, at this moment, Jacques seemed to be inexplicably familiar with the touch of the impact and the scent smelled by his nose, as if this kind of thing had happened before.

"Jack, Mr. Jacques?!"

Jacques immediately knew why he felt this way, because standing in front of him, this Asian woman with oriental charm was Caroline Wu Shan. Their current situation was the same as when they first met each other. very similar.

"Sorry, Caroline, I'm in a hurry—?"

Jacques wanted to go to Dinah to explain the matter clearly, but at this moment, Caroline's slender hand was tightly grasping Jacques's arm, and she refused to let go.

"Mr. Jacques, you should have seen the message I sent you. I need to talk to you."

".I saw the message, but maybe later—"

"No, Mr. Jacques, you have been avoiding me recently, and it will be troublesome if you leave me."

Seeing the resolute expression on Caroline's face, Jacques felt a little headache.In fact, Caroline was right. Jacques was indeed trying to avoid private meetings with Caroline, but he didn't expect to be caught here.

It seems that there is no way to avoid it, Jacques sighed lightly, and then said in a low voice.

"Well, Caroline, what do you want from me?"

Seeing that Jacques agreed to her request, Caroline let out a long sigh of relief, and then seemed to realize that it was inappropriate to drag and tug in the corridor just now, so she let go of her hand quickly, and at the same time, a blush floated on her pretty cheeks .

"It's not appropriate to talk here. Can you come and sit in my room?"

Although Jacques has always lived with Harley Quinn, when he was in Caroline's room and smelled another faint fragrance that was different from Harley Quinn's, Jacques still felt a little embarrassed.

"Sorry, I just moved here not long ago, so I haven't invited you for tea yet."

Caroline's room was fairly spacious, with a separate bathroom.Although there is not much furniture, there is a wooden round table and a beautifully carved tea set.

"Miss Barbara gave it to me, because I accidentally mentioned that I like to make tea and taste tea, and I also sent a lot of expensive tea leaves. I was really flattered."

Jacques took a sip of the hot tea, and the fragrance that he missed unceasingly calmed down his mood unconsciously.

"Miss Caroline's tea making skills are also very professional. Did you learn it at the Iceberg Club?"

Caroline shook her head, the expression on Qiao's face was somewhat complicated and bitter.

"It's not like that, it's a technique that comes naturally to my mind when I come across tea leaves. It's weird, right? I don't even remember my own name, but for each tea's characteristics and brewing methods But it’s like a treasure.”

Jacques fell silent, just lowered his head and sipped his tea.To be honest, the reason why he has been avoiding Caroline recently is mainly because Caroline's memory and identity are sensitive and difficult questions for him to answer.

If you really want to say it, Caroline and him should be regarded as having the same disease, and they are also the product of the experiment of the Assassin League.However, Caroline's true identity is Ms. Shiva, the sister of the world's most powerful killer.

This made it difficult for Jacques to decide his attitude towards Caroline. After all, Siva kept Caroline here for the so-called transaction-at first, Jacques thought that Siva was just joking or testing himself. kind.

But when the "deposit" of [-] million U.S. dollars arrived, he realized that Shiva was serious, and she really wanted to give birth to a product of herself and her bloodline to satisfy her dream of creating a perfect assassin.

With this incident, it will be difficult for Jacques to maintain a normal mind towards the two of them——Cassandra is okay, they are already familiar with each other, and Cassandra is just a child, so I certainly don’t have this aspect idea.

But Caroline is different. She was originally an oriental beauty who hit Joaquin's strike zone, so Joaquin had to deliberately keep a distance from her in order not to let himself make mistakes.
"You're thinking about the deal that woman—the lady Siwa who claims to be my sister, made with you, right?"

puff!
Jacques tilted his head at the moment of lightning, and almost sprayed the tea in his mouth to the opposite side.Then he was surprised, and looked at Caroline, who had a calm expression, in doubt.

"Don't be surprised, she seems to have forgotten a bit. I've been gasped by her hypnotic herb many times, so after she appeared on the windowsill and unconscious Cassandra that day, I held my breath in time and only inhaled a small dose —When she was talking to you, although I couldn't move, I was actually awake."

Jacques scratched his head in embarrassment, saying this to hide his loneliness during this time.

"Uh, don't get me wrong, Caroline, I'm not going to agree to Shiva's request—"

"No, you misunderstood, Mr. Joaquin."

Caroline took a deep breath, as if she had made a decision, she looked at Jacques seriously and firmly.

"What I want to say is, if possible... Can you use me as the target to complete the Siwa deal?"
