Facade of Love (Yvette Scott and Idris Young) novel Chapter 232

Chapter 232 Charlies Yates Took the Initiative to Talk to You? 

Unwilling to admit the truth, I firmly decided to stick to my story and not engage in further conversation with him. 

As it was late at night and I was already exhausted from the day’s events, I went straight to bed to sleep. 

Fortunately, Idris did not continue to inquire but simply sighed softly and settled down on the makeshift bed on the floor. 

The night passed without any other incident. 

The next day, I was awakened by the ringing of my phone. Groggy, I answered the call without checking who it was and mumbled, “Hello.” 

A cool male voice came from the other end, “Ms. Scott, it’s me, Charlie.” 

Charlie? 

Startled for a few seconds, my mind suddenly cleared. I cleared my throat and spoke into the phone, “Mr. Yates, hello.” 

The person on the other end seemed to be in a good mood, his voice slightly magnetic as he spoke, “I’m sorry for calling you so early. Did I disturb your rest?” 

I shook my head, then realized he could not see me, and said into the phone, “No, it’s about time to get up. Do you… need something?” 

“Yes,” he replied. His pleasant voice continued, “I’m looking to invest in something here in Lake City. Last night, I met with a leader from the city construction department, and he mentioned you’re considering taking over a project in Avaloria of Lake City. I just arrived here and don’t want to spread myself too thin. I was wondering if you’d be interested in partnering with me to take on all the projects in Avaloria?” 

I did not expect him to call me so early regarding this matter. Originally, I wanted to talk to him about this matter to see if we could reach an agreement, but I never expected that he would come to me first. 

I was feeling overjoyed and said, “That sounds great, Mr. Yates. Where are you? Let’s meet and talk about this collaboration,” 

He seemed to chuckle softly before responding, “I’m at…” 

“Who’s calling?” A low, slightly hoarse voice suddenly interrupted, startling Charlie into silence. 

Hearing the voice, I looked up and saw Idris getting up from the floor at the foot of the bed. He looked at me groggily and asked. “Why are they calling so early? Is it something important? 

His voice was still as hoarse and pleasant as ever. 

It took me a good while to realize that I had stayed in the Old Manor last night and slept in the same room as him. I opened my mouth as I looked at him, unsure what to say. 

I had no choice but to say to Charlie on the phone, “Mr. Yates, please send me your address, or 

2/2 

I can send you mine, and we can meet to talk.” 

The man on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment before speaking again, “Did I disturb you?” 

I quickly shook my head. “No.” 

“Okay, we’ll talk later,” came the man’s slightly deep voice from the other end. I could not gauge his emotions through the phone, but somehow, I felt that Charlie seemed a bit displeased upon hearing Idris‘ voice.. 

After the call ended, Idris, with his eyes slightly narrowed, watched me intently. His voice was low and composed as he asked, “Mr. Yates? Charlie Yates?” 

I nodded and calmly explained, “He approached me to discuss a collaboration on several projects in Avaloria.” 

Idris pursed his lips, his eyes growing inscrutable. After a moment, he asked, “He initiated the discussion about the collaboration?” 

I nodded. Although I was also curious, I did not reveal any unusual expressions. 

At that moment, there was a knock at the door, followed by Charles‘ voice, “Mr. Young, Mrs. Young.” 

Hearing the voice from outside, 

s got up and asked, “What is it? 

“Something happened at the Western Garden. Madam Young wants you both to go there,” Charles responded.
