"By the way," Evelyn hastily spoke just before Bert hung up the phone, "Please invite Miss Graves. Lucas mentioned that she has been a great help recently and has taken good care of him. I'd like to thank her personally."
"No need," Bert instinctively refused, his brow furrowing at the mention of that woman, "It's just a minor matter."
"Regardless, I want to formally thank her. Please invite her for me. Would you do this favor?"
Her tone hinted at a plea, Bert found it difficult to decline, and Bert conceded, "Alright."
Forty minutes later, a black Maybach pulled into the back parking lot of Twilight Coffee. The man exited from the driver's side, his long legs, clothed in black trousers, stepping out of the vehicle. Soon after, a small figure from the passenger's seat also disembarked.
The girl was young. She wore a white knitted dress, form-fitting, accentuating the curves of her chest and hips, capturing the attention of anyone who glanced at her.
White often makes people look heavier, but she was naturally slender. This shade of white on her, coupled with her pure innocence, was appealing, especially with her glossy black hair framing her face, looking as naive as a budding daisy swaying in the brisk winter wind.
He had seen her before. On that night, she had unveiled all her beauty to him.
Bert swallowed hard, forcing himself to avert his gaze. However, his mind played back the scene of him waiting downstairs at her dormitory.
"Come down, or I don't mind storming into the female dormitory. I just wonder if you would become a school celebrity then."
Not long after, Alivia arrived belatedly, yanking the car door open and gasping for breath. Her face was clearly livid, "Mr. Harper, why did you summon me?"
Each of her words was articulated heavily as if this would relieve her discontent towards his unscrupulous threat.
