Jilted Ex-wife Billionaire Heiress novel Chapter 73

Chapter 73 Welcome- home Gift

Darya held a bouquet of tulips, hoping her brother would like the welcome–home gift.

She checked the flight schedule online.

Callan’s plane had just touched down at Hagen International Airport fifteen minutes ago.

He would be out soon.

Apparently, many others had gotten the same news.

Darya took in the arrivals hall jam–packed with fans holding up signs and posters of her brother.

The majority of them were girls in their teens or early twenties, but Darya also spotted a couple of middle–aged men holding Callan’s albums, hoping for a signature.

As one of the most popular singer/songwriter, Callan’s return to Hagen was big news.

Darya found a spot in the arrivals hall where she could observe the entire place without being noticed.

She answered her ringing phone when she saw Glen’s name flashing onscreen. ‘I’m on leave today.‘

Her assistant chuckled. ‘I know, Miss Miller. I got your email last night.‘

Despite having a handsome face with gentle features, Glen Chasey was not a gentle person.

He was a stickler for rules, especially the golden rule of punctuality, and preferred to run everything on a tight

schedule.

His day was planned by the minute with military precision.

If he budgeted thirty minutes on the treadmill, he would not spend a second more once the time was up.

To prevent unexpected events such as traffic jams which would delay a business meeting, he often laid out four different travel routes.

Darya once joked that he had a backup to his backup plan.

Glen was usually soft–spoken and had an easy smile.

But if anyone dared to mess up his famous schedule, he’d bring down the wrath of god on the perpetrator, regardless of who they were.

Darya once suspected that Avery gave her Glen because he didn’t want to be lectured by the man.

At first, she had been thrilled.

Chapter 73 Welcome home Gift

With such a capable assistant by her side, her meetings never ran overtime.

But she soon realised what a headache it was to have someone who watched over your every move like a hawk.

Such as today,

Is there something I need to know? Darya asked.

‘Mr Cooke called five minutes ago,‘ Glen reported in his smooth baritone voice. ‘He would like to move up the

date of your visit to his laboratory.‘

Darya covered her mouth to prevent a giggle from escaping.

She wondered if Reece Cooke got an earful from her fearsome assistant about changing the schedule.

‘What’s the new schedule?‘ she asked.

‘Four o’clock this afternoon.‘

‘So soon? What’s the rush?‘

Originally, Glen had liaised with his counterpart at Solaro and set the visit to happen a week from today.

‘Mr Cooke said his chief engineer has to fly out of the country tomorrow. He won’t be back for two weeks. So if you would like to see the prototype, it’s either today or two weeks later.‘

Darya asked, ‘What’s my schedule like two weeks from now?‘

‘I’d recommend we do it today.‘

“But I’m on leave today. I have to pick up my brother. We haven’t seen each other for a long time.‘

Glen replied calmly, ‘If I’m not wrong, Mr McAllister’s flight is this morning. You asked me to book a restaurant for dinner for two at seven thirty pm today. Which means you have about eight hours of free, unbudgeted time. The Solaro laboratory is about twenty minutes‘ drive from your house. You’ll be able to make it for dinner after the visit.‘

Darya sighed and surrendered. ‘Fine, I’ll do it. You could stop nagging now.‘

‘I’m just pointing out a more effective way to manage your time, Miss Miller.‘

‘I wonder what kind of girl will end up being your girlfriend,‘ Darya said suddenly.

‘I’m not sure if I follow, Miss Miller.‘

‘What happens if your girlfriend runs late for a date?‘ Darya wondered out loud. ‘Will you break up with her for that? Speaking of which, do you actually have a girlfriend?‘

‘A romantic relationship is not part of my plan for this phase of my life,‘ Glen answered in a monotone.

Darya laughed. ‘Got it. Sorry I asked.‘

‘Do you need me to pick you up this afternoon?‘

‘No, I’ll drive myself. Your time is too valuable to be wasted on playing chauffeur.‘

When she hung up, Darya wasn’t sure if Glen got her joke.

The crowd of fans stirred.

Darya looked down and checked her attire.

Knowing how popular her brother was, she deliberately picked out a low–key outfit in order not to attract

attention.

Darya put away her phone and took a whiff of the sweet–smelling tulips.
