“Patricia,” Hernan said in a gentle voice.
Patricia gripped her phone tightly and subconsciously felt a little nervous.
For some reason, every time she called Hernan, she felt nervous and stressed.
“Hernan, I heard that you’re going to a charity party next Monday and need a female companion. My friend will be free. Do you want to come with her?”
“No.” Hernan understood what Patricia meant and rejected her flatly. “I already have a candidate.”
Patricia thought to herself, “Could it be that Mariela Robins? Bringing such a girl to such a high-end event? She would embarrass the Lusk family and Hernan, wouldn’t she?”
The short-haired girl put her palms together and made a pleading gesture.
Patricia could only ask, “Are you free these two days? I want to have dinner with you.”
Hernan understood what Patricia was thinking and said, “Are you free recently? Have you been studying very easily?”
Was Patricia all worried about his life?
“Hernan, I just want to have a meal with you…” Patricia guessed that Hernan already knew what she was thinking and hurriedly said, “I haven’t seen you for a long time…”
“Don’t think too much. If you’re too free, I’ll hire a few more teachers for you.”
“Hernan…”
“I’m having a meeting.”
It was time for the meeting. Hernan hung up the phone and sat at the conference table with a cold look in his eyes.
Patricia didn’t expect her two brothers to hang up on her today!
Seeing the expectant look in the short-haired girl’s eyes, Patricia could only bite the bullet and lie. “Hernan said that he would ask Gabrielle when he’s free. I’ll take you there to have dinner with him.”
“Really?” The short-haired girl was so happy that she jumped up and hugged Patricia. “That’s great! I knew you would help me!”
Patricia smiled superficially, but she did not know how to trick her Hernan into having dinner with her…
On the other side.
When Kailyn finally came to her senses, her cell phone rang.
She took it out and saw that it was her mother, Allison.
“Kailyn, I heard that Carroll Schultz has come to Chicago. Jason said that he can help us set up a trap tonight. You should go home first. I’ll ask the driver to pick you up and dress up. Go to the tea room to meet him tonight and find a way to let him play chess with you. Remember, you can’t embarrass him or show that you’re too stupid. You must know what’s good for you.”
Kailyn had to attract the attention of Carroll Schultz and make him think that she was a moldable talent. Only in this way would she have a chance to get Carroll Schultz’s favor and guidance…
“Mom, I don’t want to go.”
Kailyn was already disappointed in this matter. Now that her mother had called, it was undoubtedly another blow to her.
Allison sat in the garden of the house, took a sip of tea gracefully, and asked in a calm tone, “What’s wrong?”
Chess had always been her daughter’s hobby, but now, it seemed to be a blow to her.
“Carroll Schultz is here at the University of Chicago today… I lost to Paige in front of him.”
“What did you say?” Allison stopped drinking tea with disbelief in her eyes.
