To my surprise, it was Melvern.
He noticed me and walked toward me with a smile on his face.
"Ms. Chloe, what a coincidence. We meet again," he said, looking at me like an old friend.
"Mr. Melvern, hello." I nodded politely, wondering why he was there. However, I didn't ask.
"Are you heading out?" he asked casually, glancing at me.
"Yes, just stepping out for a bit." I smiled faintly. "Are you here for business?"
"Yes, I'm here to meet an old friend," he replied, seemingly carefree. "Which floor is your company on?"
"The 10th floor," I answered, but I didn't extend any courteous invitation for him to visit.
I was sure that if I did, he would show up at my door tomorrow.
"Ms. Chloe, could I invite you for a chat sometime when you're free? I have some questions I'd like to consult you about," he asked politely.
I knew that this was just an excuse.
"Mr. Melvern, you're too courteous. I wonder which aspect of knowledge you are seeking,” I replied distantly. This guy was like gum at the bottom of my shoe.
"Of course, it's about construction." He smiled pleasantly and said, "However, I'd also like to have a casual chat with you, Ms. Chloe."
At that moment, the car sent by Atlas arrived at the entrance. I quickly said, "Sorry, Mr. Melvern, my ride's here, and I'm pressed for time. Let's chat another time! We can have a sit-down."
I didn't close the door tightly. If necessary, I could still probe into his background. However, this person wasn't to my liking.
Seeing that I was in a hurry, he politely gestured. "That's settled, then. See you next time."
He seemed to be seizing an opportunity, but I didn't quite like it. Still, I smiled apologetically at him and got into the car.
I saw him standing in the rearview mirror, watching my car leave.

This story would be interesting if there weren't so many garbled paragraphs. Half sentences and missed paragraphs. It's too much, give us a proper story. I'm done reading...
Atlas literally took Chloe away from Ryan Ryan needs to go back and reinforce to be able to be head-on Caz that's the only place he's lacking...
