Next One Is a Babe Chapter 714

Chapter 714Soon after, a car stopped outside the house and someone got off. From the house, Matilda came out
and stared at them. One of them who was older told her that they were sent by John to install the
cameras. Acknowledging them, Matilda hurriedly invited them inside.
Since the whole house would be installed with the monitoring devices, it was considered as a rather
major project and many workers would be needed for it. Sophia watched as these people went into the
house carrying their tools. Then, she asked the older man, “Are all these people the employees of your
company?”
Taken aback, that man hurriedly nodded. “Yes, yes. They’re all my employees.” He even added that he
knew John personally and his company was also responsible for the surveillance system in his
company. “After-sales services are also guaranteed, so don’t worry.”
However, that was the least of Sophia’s concern, and as she watched the workers, she asked in a
different manner, “What I’m asking is, have all those workers been in your company for years?”
“Huh?” he blurted in confusion. Then, he racked his mind and shook his head. “One of them hasn’t.
Initially, another employee was supposed to come. In the end, he had an emergency and found
someone else to take over the job. That person is new here.”
Stunned, she pressed on by asking, “Who’s the one replacing the missing employee?”
That man stared at the workers who had already begun with the preparation work inside and pointed at
one of them. “That guy; he’s the one. As Mr. Constance wants us to finish the job as soon as possible,
and we don’t want to waste too much of your time, we brought more people over, and that’s the guywho came as a temporary replacement.”
Fixing her eyes on that guy who was opening his toolbox, she thought that there was nothing dodgy
about him as he was wearing the same company uniform and hat as the others. A few seconds later,
she nodded. “Alright, I got it.”
Seeing that Sophia didn’t have any further questions, the older man went into the house to start
directing the job, leaving Sophia to stare at the temporary replacement with a concerned look on her
face.
Matilda came out of the house after monitoring the workers and stood next to her. “What’s wrong? You
don’t look too good.”
novelbinPointing at that guy, she told her, “Maybe I’m overthinking, but that guy is a temporary replacement
they found today and I keep having the feeling that there might be a problem with him. I’ve been
keeping a watch on him and he seems really sneaky. He’s looking around stealthily, and something is
off about him.”
Immediately, Matilda remembered John’s advice to keep a lookout on the surveillance workers as there
might be someone sneaking in with them. Thus, she whisked out her cell phone and called John
instantly.
Sophia stood at the side and watched the workers in the house, fully alert on the situation. When the
call got through, Matilda hurried to the entrance of the yard and explained briefly the situation at home.
On the other end of the call, John was solemn. “Keep a lookout on your side. I’m going back now.” “Alright,” Matilda answered. “There are many people here, so it’s unlikely that anything will happen.
Don’t worry too much.” Without saying anything, John hung up and she took a deep breath before
returning to Sophia’s side.
As there were so many people in the house, someone could easily be up to some sneaky business in
the midst of the job.
A little while later, Sophia chuckled and murmured, “That guy realized that I’ve been watching him.”
“Huh? He even noticed you?” Matilda exclaimed.
Exactly. With so much preparation work to do, this guy actually noticed that I’ve been watching him.
Crossing her arms across her chest, Sophia said, “There’s definitely something wrong with this guy.”
Matilda was a little impressed with her. “You actually considered so much, and I didn’t even think to ask
any more questions.”
