“Sofia, to be honest with you, the reason for me looking for him is not to discuss the joint venture, but... Let me just put it this way. Your boss is someone whom I admire. It happens that your boss likes me too and has helped me a few times. So we really need to meet each other to establish our relationship, but for some reason, I feel that he is avoiding me...”
Sofia put on a bitter smile.
Stupid Kiddo. How dare he tells me there is nothing but a misunderstanding between them. Indeed, men are not to be trusted.
Nancy then asked suddenly, “Sofia, how do you communicate with your boss if you have not seen him before?”
“Of course it is through texts and messages.”
Nancy Hinton’s eyes lit up, “Oh? Can I have his profile then? If he is too shy to face me, we can communicate through texts to build our relationship first.”
“Uhm...” Sofia was put in a difficult spot.
She already admitted that she had the boss’s contact and social media profile. Surely it would be disrespectful to not share them with Nancy.
Finally, she gritted her teeth and conceded, “Fine, I’ll share it with you in a moment.”
In any case, Zeke rarely posted anything on social media and had no information that would reveal his identity. There would be no issues sharing his contact with her.
After the two added each other on social media, Sofia forwarded Zeke’s contact to Nancy.
After getting her hero’s contact, Nancy was beyond exhilaration – she was on the verge of tears! Immediately, she requested to add his profile and waited for his response. For the entire day, she held her phone in her hand in anticipation.
“I’m one step closer to meeting my hero!”
“Come on, come on! Fate shall bring us together!”
She would check her phone every ten seconds, afraid that she would miss the instant when the hero responded to her.
Meanwhile, Zeke was driving towards the Hinton Hallow and received a notification on his phone on the way.
He flipped over and glanced at the screen. Upon realizing that it was a friend request, he instinctively accepted it.
After clicking ‘accept’, he realized that the other party looked slightly familiar.
Immediately, he clicked to open the person’s profile picture and was taken aback.
It was none other than Nancy Hinton.
In the picture, she held onto a teddy bear and smiled brightly and cheerfully.
Her long, slender, and fair legs looked extremely alluring in the picture.
Why did Nancy Hinton add me? Who forwarded my contact to her?
At that moment, she sent a voice message over and sounded very bright, “My hero! Hello, I am your fan, Nancy Hinton.”
“Thank you for saving me twice previously. I am very grateful for that. I would like to treat you to a meal sometimes.”
Zeke finally understood what happened.
It must be that Nancy requested his contact via Sofia, and Sofia shared it with her.
Zeke quickly opened up his profile and checked it over. He had to make sure that there was nothing that would expose his true identity. After a quick glance, he heaved a sigh of relief and tossed the phone to the side.
I cannot chat with Nancy. Otherwise, I will be betraying Lacey.
After a short while, he arrived at the Hinton Hallow.
Lacey, Daniel, and Hannah were already at the entrance.
Meanwhile, Aaron, Jeremy, and Lily from the Riverdale Hintons were still kneeling in front of the grave.
The man buried in the first grave of the Hinton Hallow was not a Hinton. Hence, it was rather peculiar.
After that, Lacey and Hinton got on the car, but Daniel remained in his spot.
