Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2067
“Don’t worry, Joan. I’ll find a way to get you home safely.” Caiden smiled.
“And how exactly are you planning to do that? There’s no way for us to escape under their surveillance,” Jaden chimed in.
He’s right. Gabriella had sent more backup to guard and inspect the rooms.
“I guess you’ll just have to trust me,” Caiden said to Joan and Nancy.
Though Jaden didn’t know what tricks Caiden had up his sleeves, he believed that Caiden would have come up with a decent escape plan.
“Here, Joan. I bought some disguises for the two of you. We’re leaving right after you’ve changed. There are fewer people around since it’s mealtime.” Caiden tossed the clothes to the ladies and pulled Jaden out of the room.
Nancy picked up the clothes in a hurry. She was stunned when she realized what they were. I’ve never worn clothes like this before! I can’t imagine how it’s going to feel like.
“Nancy, it’s just for a while, ok?” Joan coaxed.
She knew wearing men’s clothes would be difficult for Nancy. Nancy paid a lot of attention to her image. Though she behaved somewhat carelessly, she was oddly repulsed by the idea of wearing men’s clothes.
“It’s fine, Joan. Let’s just change. We shouldn’t keep them waiting for long.” Nancy started undressing without a further word.
To complete their disguise, both women changed their hairstyles and put on glasses. They also muddied their skin. Only a close acquaintance would be able to recognize them.
“We’re done. Let’s go,” Nancy announced as she left the room.
“Pffft!” Forgetting to control his reaction, Jaden burst out laughing at the sight of the two ladies.
“Don’t you think you’ve gone a little overboard with the disguises?”
I have to take every precaution. Gabriella knows us too well, and I’m sure she has our faces imprinted in her memory. She’s going to be even more careful after my last escape.
“That’s good then. Time to go,” Joan whispered.
“Jaden, we won’t forget you’re here if you stop speaking for two seconds, you know,” Caiden said abruptly.
This shut Jaden up.
The two men left the room first. A few minutes later, they beckoned the women forward.
“Just act natural. Or they’ll notice that something’s amiss.” Caiden’s eyes kept darting around his surroundings.
“Ok.” Joan rubbed her hands together nervously. There was a hint of fear in her eyes.
“Joan, I-I’m scared,” Nancy blurted.
“Don’t say anything, and don’t worry. You’ll be fine with us here.” Jaden patted her comfortingly on her shoulder.
They walked in pairs, passing through numerous corridors. They avoided the elevators. They were more easily recognizable in close quarters, and there were also surveillance cameras in elevators. Gabriella had also arranged for guards in all the elevators so she could track them down quickly.
“Stop there!” A cold, unfamiliar voice rang out.
“What rooms are you from?” A fierce man walked toward them.
“We’re from the top floor. What’s going on?” Caiden straightened to his full height and replied the man coolly.
The guard hesitated at Caiden’s answer.
Isn’t the presidential suite located on the top floor? He thought better of invoking their ire. Why are those two chaps wearing hats indoors though? And they’re wrapped in layers like burritos.
“Hey, you two. Aren’t you sweating from wearing those hats in this sort of weather? You should take them off.”
Caiden looked at the two women before casting a hostile gaze toward the guard.
“What’s wrong with wearing hats?” he retorted.
“Nothing’s wrong, sir. We’re under orders to look for some people in the hotel. So we need your friends here to take off their hats before we can let you pass.”
