Chapter 170
Surse Plaza won nestled within Sunrise Heights. The first five floors were filled with various shops, and the floors above were dedicated to office.
This is why there were two elevators, each serving a different purpose
The one Marguents and Miley took led to the shopping area, while the one Robert entered didn’t even have options for the first five floors. Its buttons started at six
The two women had agreed to meet at a chowder house on the fifth floor This restaurant was a culinary landmark of the Sunrise District, famous for its exceptionally fresh fish chowder
Because the restaurant was so popular online, it was always crowded with customers.
Miley had reserved a window seat in advance. As they settled down and browsed the menu, they didn’t notice that not far away, in a glass booth, Frederick was sitting
At this moment, Frederick’s phone buzzed abruptly. After answering, his voice was low and captivating. “Yes”
“Good day, Mr. Winston. I am the owner of Majestic Memories. I called Ms. Lockwood earlier to inform her that her photos were ready for collection, but she didn’t pick up, so I thought I’d contact you.”
Frederick glanced at the time, guessing that Yuna must be on her way and didn’t hear the call.
“Il send someone to pick them up.”
After hanging up, Frederick immediately dialed Robert’s number Before he could say anything, he heard panting on the other end.
He hesitated.
Was this a bad time to call?
“Are you… with a woman?”
“What woman‘ I’m climbing the stairs!”
Robert was slightly annoyed. If he hadn’t been in such a hurry when he got into the elevator, he wouldn’t have taken the wrong one.
It wasn’t until the elevator reached the eighth floor that he realized his mistake.
Having no other choice, he had to take the stairs down.
“What’s up?”
“Pick something up for me. I’ll text you the address”
Upon hearing this, Robert almost collapsed in the dimly lit stairwell
“Frederick, give me a break Can’t you ask Chuck? I have plans today! With Smiley.”
Fredenck’s eyes widened, full of caution.
Smiley?
The woman Investigating him!
He made a quick decision, “Where are you meeting her?”
“At Sunrise Plaza!”
Frederick surprised
What a coincidence
Fredenck smirked. “Perfect, I’m having dinner here. Get my stuff and bring her to me”
With that, he hung up the phone with authority
Frederick was eager to see who this woman investigating him was.
Robert on the other hand, was left furning at the sound of the dial tone. When he tried to call back, Frederick had already hung up.
Reluctantly, Robert had to accept the task.
After all, Frederick had something on him.
If Fredenck revealed his whereabouts to his father, his carefree days would probably be over
After sending a message to Smiley about his delay, he left following Frederick’s instructions
Meanwhile, at the chowder house.
Returning from the restroom, Miley was texting Robert while walking
But when she looked up, she spotted a slender figure in high heels entering the restaurant
She froze for a moment, then sprinted towards Marquente, positioning herself in front of her friend “Where’s your mask? Go, go, go! Put it on
Marguerite looked up at her, confused. “What’s wrong?”
Put it on first, then I’ll explain!” Miley insisted, out of breath.
Marguente, still puzzled, quickly put on her mask and frowned. “What’s going on?”
Miley turned around, scanned the room, and finally fixed her gaze on the isolated booth. She pointed, “Look who’s there!” Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Following Miley’s direction, Marguerite saw Yuna elegantly seated across the thick glass window.
