Everyone that got to hear of what Mister Smith had done was very surprised that he had been caught. It wasn’t even up to five hours when he got caught. Which means his games are not that strong enough. According to Rick Davis when he went to the Carter’s mansion to make a report, he said that immediately Janice had left, he received a call, telling him that a really expensive jewelry had been brought in for sale. He then acted like he was going to buy it as he usually does, and asked the man who is also his partner in the government agency to snap the pictures of the jewelry and, also the person holding it. He instantly recognised Mister Smith because he has seen him on a countless occasion so he asked his partner to detain him and take him to the agency jail until he gets there. It was as simple as that but there was one thing that didn't seem clear to Janice, her father told her that he has sent Mister Smith he sold from the company right? Then what did he come to their shamelessly and stole the jewelry piece when he must have more than enough to feed on from what he had stolen. Or her father is hiding something from her and she can’t seem to believe that because she knows her father and what he is capable of doing. He wont lie to her or hide anything to her even if her mother does, he was built that way. “Thank you Mr. Rick Davis. You really helped us a lot.” Janice’s mother said happily getting back the jewelry from him. From there, she will be taking it straight to the safe and keep it there, she doubts she will even use it because it is gift that her precious daughter had gotten her and it deserves all the care that it needs. “It was my job to protect your properties. If you could excuse me, i will on my way.” he uttered standing up and Janice followed up. At the same time, her father made a grand appearance into the house, getting rid of his suit and passed it to the maid that was standing beside him. He was shocked to see that Rick Davis was really in his house, after he had warned him not to associate with his daughter. “And you are doing what here?” Mr. Carter asked, removing his cuff links and passing it to the maid who was still standing by his side. “He is the private” Janice trailed off when she saw the looks that her father sent her way. The old man scoffed as he sat down. “I wasn’t asking you right? Then let him do the talkings.” he told her, folding his legs in a very comfortable way. At the moment, she could only swallow hard and wiped her chin that was sweating furiously. “I am Rick Davis sir, a private spy to the government secret agency and also a frined to your daughter here.” Rick ended, giving her wink. Janice felt the pit of her stomach fell and she began to feel as if the ground was going to swallow her due to the scary look she received from her father. Then she knows again that Rick did that intentionally, just so he would piss off her father. “So you were the guy that caught Smith, what is your price for that andalso, your price to leave my daughter alone?” Mr. Carter asked, grimacing. His face held no emotions, giving Rick no room to joke again. “No need to pay me again sir as your daughter has already done that and i was joking when i said she was my friend, forgive me if that has made you angry.” Rick apologized. Mr. carter hummed then pushed his hands into his pocket to fish out a brown envelope that he had kept to give him in the first place. “First p*****t was given to you by my daughter and now, here is mine to thank you for the good work. Keep it up and i might contact you when i have something important.” Mr. Carter ended. Rick smiled at his gesture, taking the envelope from him and walked away after saying goodbye to all of them. Janice swallowed hard as she shared another hard look with her father. “It was very thoughtful of you to act that way, for this, i am proud of you more and also, tell me what you need and i will get it for you my princess.” he told her smiling. Guess no father could stay angry at his daughter or son for a long time. “I will think about it first father then get back to you.” she responded. He told her to take her time in deciding what she wants because rushing wont take them to anywhere. Then her mother returned, ushering them into the dining room to get their late dinner, which they would have definitely missed if not for her that came to get them. “What did you make mother?” Janice asked. “Just some white rice and chicken broth.” Her mother responded. Like a child that was given candy, Janice clasped her hands together and happily waited until her mother saved her before she began to chew down the food. At the table, they had a mini family time with Janice filling them up on why she had asked them to take the polizia municipale out of the picture and how she had contacted Rick. She made sure to tell them every part and it was very evident that her father was really proud of her because it really showed on his face. “How far have you planned for the board meeting coming next week?” her father asked after the table was cleared and Janice was trying to escape to her room. Her facial expression said it all, she had no idea that there is an upcoming board meeting. “You know what?” he asked and she nodded her head no. “Just check your email to find the general mail that was sent earlier then work on it because i don't have that much energy to go through it with you again.” he informed. — Indeed, her father was right. An email was sent to her and other board members, informing them of the upcoming board meeting and also the reason for the meeting to take place. She made sure to go through the email until she found out that she was to make a presentation. A groan left her mouth because she had wanted to sleep early but seeing that she was given extra work, she has to start working on it or else, she end up submitting it late and she wouldn't want things to happen that way. She brought out her fully charged laptop and began to type away, making research when needed until she was sure that the work load has reduced. She then edited the part that she had written before forwarding it to her assistant to help her go through. She stretched, yawning an rubbing her eyes, as she walked to the bath, filling the tub with warm water. After taking a bath, the next thing she will do is to sleep because she very much need it to calm her mind and think about Mister Smith’s issues well. She needs to put the dots together before she will involve someone else. As the bathing tub was filling up, she lighted up all the scented candles in the bathroom, then poured in a little amount of bubble bomb in the water before turning off the tab and the lights. Under the dim lights of the candles, she stripped out of her clothes in front of the mirror and she got a glimpse of her tattoo that was covered. Only god knows what that was and why it was covered. She can find out of she wants by scrapping away the scars that she had gotten when the wound was covered up but her parents have warned her against doing anything of such or else, she will face the consequences and she surely wont like it. Because it is not as if her father will punish her according to her taste. She touche the scar, feeling how it was before she sighed then dragged her legs into the warm scented water. She the pressed a button that brought out a tablet that was hidden underneath it. She looked through the applications on the tablet until she found that particular application and clicked on it. When the netflix application fully opened, she decided to finish off watching the series that she had started which was Wednesday. There is not a much explanation on why she was very much obsessed with the series or why she had prefer it to others and wouldn't mind watching all the time, no matter the situation. It feels like heaven that she needed to her really.
