Evelyn rolled her eyes and picked it up with trembling hands.
“Hello?”
“Did you go to the orphanage?” The man’s calm voice made her feel a little relieved.
“Yes, I’m here.” Although Evelyn was talking to Huston, she kept looking at Bert. “Are you done with your work?”
Bert approached them to hear what they were talking about,
“Not yet. There’s a meeting later.” As soon as he finished speaking, the secretary behind him immediately called him for a meeting. Huston did not delay and asked, “Are you all right?”
Because of this, Bert raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her with interest, wondering how she would answer.
Evelyn didn’t let him be curious for too long. She blurted out without hesitation, “Nothing. You go ahead and do your work, don’t let others wait for you. We’ll talk about it later after finishing our work.”
Not only did she not expose herself, but she also did not forget
to remind him.
Bert was interested. He didn’t expect her to be so calm.
After hanging up the phone, Evelyn looked into his eyes with disgust. Yes, disgusting.
Bert also captured this emotion very well. The woman in front of him was very weak to him. He could kill her with a little force, but her mood was very interesting. She would not give up no matter what happened. It didn’t seem appropriate enough, but in short, it aroused his desire to conquer.
The next second, Bert made a gesture that would make Evelyn
collapse.
He raised her chin and said, “Miss Shelton, you’re very interesting. If there was an accident the first time we met, then
I believe that the second time was destined.”
Evelyn curled her lips coldly. “You’re crazy.”
Bert was not angry. “I hope you can keep the fun. By the
way…”
Speaking of this, he finally let go of her. “My promise to you is still valid. Since you saved me once, I will help you.”
Thank you, but I don’t need it.””
“Don’t be overconfident.” Bert looked up into the distance and
then turned to leave.
Looking at the man’s back as he walked away, Evelyn couldn’t get rid of the depression in her heart. She walked straight back to the gate. The staff was still moving supplies, and no one noticed anything unusual.
Evelyn’s palms were covered with a layer of cold sweat, and she prayed in her heart that she would never meet this man
again.
On the other side, after dealing with the branch company’s affairs, Huston had to eat and socialize with the person in charge. The person who came was the top leader of Quartz City, named Tom Maxwell. He had a very high official position and was 46 years old. He received him.
They were going to meet at an upscale club in Quartz City. Only VIPs can consume, and there are various cuisines available. The rooms on the upper floor were upscale rooms and the other entertainment venues. It was the first choice that was highly confidential between the big boss and the politicians.
When hearing Huston was coming, the owner of the club personally welcomed him and reserved the best private room for him without asking for any other fees.
Men gathered to drink and toasted each other, there must
be some decorations. Women became the most common
companions for drinking. Even if they didn’t do anything, with these people, they could always adjust when talking about
embarrassment or seriousness.
The two of them sat at the head of the table, with Huston and Tom Maxwell at each side. The remaining four to five people were all well-known local figures. Tom Maxwell knew that Huston’s abilities were not small, so he naturally wouldn’t slight him. Frequent toasts made the atmosphere very harmonious.
However, there was one person who seemed to be slightly deliberate.
The woman accompanying Tom Maxwell’s assistant was very familiar with her face. Huston usually didn’t pay much attention to her, and he didn’t even bother to give her alms out of the corner of his eye. It was only when he heard her voice that he remembered that it was Maura.
His eyes flickered as he looked at her. However, he didn’t expect that his gaze would be mistaken, thinking that he was interested in Maura.
The people present were calculative and insightful. Naturally, no one pointed it out. Merely, they all had their thoughts.
Maura felt uneasy from sitting and standing at the beginning but gradually relaxed later on. She thought that all men were the same. To get information about Huston’s business trip, she spent a lot of money on the private detective. She couldn’t give up this opportunity.
Thinking of this, Maura unconsciously moved her hand to her pocket and touched the hard edge of it. This was the anesthetic she prepared in advance, it could cause people to lose consciousness.
