Lord Came Back From The Battlefield

As Casey and his team were busy at work, Billy arrived at Harleen’s house.

“Daddy!” Tasha ran over to him.

“Have you been good?” Billy asked with a smile as he picked up the little girl.

“Of course! Tasha is always good. Grandpa and Grandma love me more every day!” Tasha boasted proudly.

“Haha, really?” Billy ruffled her hair before turning to greet Fletcher who was coming out of the room. “Hey, Dad.”

“Billy, you’re here!” Fletcher greeted him warmly.

“Where’s Casey? Didn’t he come with you?” Sharon came out of the kitchen with a smile on her face as she saw him.

“Mum,” Billy smiled back. “He’s busy with something else.”

“Why don’t you invite him over for dinner tonight? I made chicken soup for you guys.” Sharon suggested kindly.

“Sure thing! Thanks Mom.” Billy replied before Felicia burst into the room excitedly from taking a phone call in her bedroom.

“Billy, have I got news for you! Do you want to hear it?”

“What’s got you so excited? Did you get yourself a boyfriend or something?” Billy teased playfully.

“No way! Have you heard about that Heart of the Earth diamond necklace that caused such a stir around the world?” Felicia exclaimed loudly.

“Last time I heard from your sister’s friends, they said it was very precious. What happened?” Billy asked, slightly surprised.

“Of course it’s precious! There’s only one in the world and it’s worth billions!” Felicia exaggerated with a smile. “And it’s exquisitely beautiful, every woman dreams of having one.”

After speaking, she turned to Harleen who was helping in the kitchen and asked, “Harleen, you’ve seen pictures of that necklace before right? I’m not wrong about what I said?”

“Yeah, it’s beautiful,” Harleen smiled and responded. “Such a pretty necklace would be attractive to any woman.”

“Felicia, is this what you wanted to tell me?” Billy chuckled.

“Yeah, it has something to do with this. Yesterday at an exhibition in Enssea, there were two big events!”

“What kind of events?” Harleen seemed interested and walked out of the kitchen.

“Guess?” Felicia teased.

“Somebody robbed them maybe?” Harleen laughed.

“You got one-third correct!” Felicia replied loudly.

“What do you mean by ‘one-third correct’ or ‘not correct’? What does that even mean?” Harleen rolled her eyes in confusion.

“Listen,” Felicia responded. “The owner of Heart of the Earth gave away that priceless treasure for free yesterday.”

“What?!” Harleen exclaimed incredulously. “Gave away for free? Wasn’t that necklace impossible to buy even if someone had money? How could they give it away for free?”

“Didn’t expect that, did you?” Felicia laughed as she spoke. “No one saw this coming.”

“To whom did they give it away then?” Billy couldn’t believe how fast news traveled all the way to Ozin already. He wondered if he had been exposed, since he hoped to surprise Harleen with something special.

“I’m not sure about that, all I know is that it was a young man.” Felicia continued.

“Do you have any other news?” asked Billy. After hearing Felicia’s news, he felt relieved and he believed people didn’t pay much attention to the issue anymore when the big incident happened on the scene later.

“Later on, a group of assassins showed up at the scene trying to kill the owner of the necklace. Several audience members were seriously injured.”

“What happened next?” Harleen asked in surprise.

“Three martial arts experts came forward and saved the owner of the necklace by killing all those assassins.” Felicia said with admiration.

“I heard they were so powerful that they weren’t even afraid of guns!”

“Is that so?” Billy asked deliberately.

“Yes!” Felicia nodded again. “Many people are now trying to find out who those three people are. It’s a pity that all surveillance videos from the scene were taken by officials. On top of that, because it was too dangerous at that time, none of them thought about taking pictures with their phones. Otherwise they could have easily found out who they were.”

“Really?” Billy smiled knowingly as he thought to himself that he had to hurry up with his proposal before accidentally revealing his intentions too soon.

“I wanna know who those three people are, they’re so powerful!” Felicia exclaimed.

“Okay, stop being infatuated.” Harleen reminded unkindly. After a pause, she seemed to remember something and turned to Billy. “By the way, Billy, do you have time later?”

“Yeah,” Billy smiled. “What’s up?”

“I have an interview at a company today. If you’re free, can you give me a ride?”

“Interview?” Billy was surprised. “So soon?”

“Yeah,” Harleen nodded. “I’ve sent out a lot of resumes these past few days and I’ve already received several interview calls. I screened them and decided to go check out this one today.”

“Alright then, let’s go!” Billy smiled again.

“Just wait for me for a bit while I change my clothes.” After saying that, Harleen turned around and went into her room.

About twenty minutes later, she came back out again with some makeup on her face and her beautiful black hair styled up in an elegant bun on top of her head. She wore professional attire that showcased her stunning figure perfectly. A platinum necklace hanging from her neck and black high heels on her feet, she dressed herself in a standard dress code for white-collar workers in the workplace, which made her look very capable.

“Wow Mommy! You look so pretty today!” Tasha looked at Harleen admiringly and spoke up while she was playing with the toys.

“Hey little girl, when is your mom not pretty?” Billy joked with a smile.

A few minutes later, the two got into the car.

“Harleen, how about I talk to my friend and get you a job at World Group?” Billy asked with a smile as the Land Rover slowly drove away. “World Group is one of the top 10 companies in Glavale, this company has an excellent platform.”

“No,” Harleen shook her head. “I can’t rely on you for everything. When it comes to work, I want to rely on my own abilities.”

“Haha, alright then!” Billy laughed again.

After about half an hour, they arrived at a 30-40 story office building.

“Billy, there’s a café over there. Why don’t you go sit inside and wait for me? I should be down soon.” Harleen said as they got out of the car and pointed to a café next to the office building.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

“Okay,” Billy smiled. “Call me if anything comes up.”

“I’m just going for an interview. What could possibly happen?” Harleen smiled sweetly before turning around and walking towards the lobby of the office building.
