Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 294

In the afternoon, after finishing the tasks, Stella walked out of the office.

She said, “Sherry, I have to go out now and maybe I will not go back to the studio later. I will go home directly tonight.”

Sherry nodded her head and asked, “Where are you going?”

“I asked someone to investigate the pocket watch before and he got some clues. I have an appointment with a representative of the manufacturer.”

Sherry asked, “Is it reliable?”

Stella replied, “It’s likely reliable. I found a friend to investigate it.”

“All right. There’s no problem with the studio and I want to go with you. We can help each other if there’s any problem. I will worry about you if you go alone.”

“Okay.”

They instructed the several employees of the studio and then left.

Sherry drove the car to a deserted factory area according to the address and asked while driving, “Are you sure that you’ll meet here? Why do I feel that there will be no one at this place?”

Stella checked the message and replied, “It should be here… Turn right at the cross and I guess we will arrive soon.”

Sherry made a U-turn and they saw a grizzled old man standing in front of a locked factory after driving for several hundred meters.

Stella said, “It’s here.”

After getting out of the car, Stella asked, “Hello, are you Mr. Moore?”

The old man nodded his head with a smile, “You’re Ms. Radomil, right?”

“Yep.” Stella then introduced Sherry, “This is my friend. She comes here with me.”

After a small talk, the old man walked to the factory. Trembling, he produced a bunch of keys from his pocket and finally opened the door after a long while.

Standing beside Stella, Sherry asked in a low voice, “Are you sure that he will provide you with some useful clues? He even failed to put the key into the lock.”

Stella maintained her smile and elbowed her. She kept down her voice, “Mind your words.”

“Look at the bunch of keys at his hand. If he tries one by one, we will have to wait until tomorrow."

When Sherry just finished the words, the old man said, “It’s opened. Follow me.”

Stella replied, “Okay.” Then she followed behind him.

As the two iron doors were pushed open, they were greeted with staleness and dusts.

The old man walked to a wall and groped to turn on the lights of the factory. He said, “This place has not been visited for a long time. You come at the right time because this factory area will be demolished two weeks later and the documents would be destructed too. It will be difficult for you to check the documents if you only come at that time.”

Stella looked around the huge warehouse and the documents on the rows of shelves and asked, “Is all the information here?”

“Yep, you may not believe it. Although this watch factory went bankruptcy, it was a top watch manufacturer twenty years ago and had many stores and customers all over the country.” The old man heaved a sigh, “I feel reluctant to discard it. Therefore, even though the factory went bankruptcy later, I still kept the information of my customers.”

Sherry widened her eyes in shock, “Oh, there’re many documents here. How long will we find out the clue if we read through the documents one by one? I guess we will only find it next year.”

The old man replied, “It won’t take too long. I remember that the pocket watch you showed me had top-class craft at that time. It was a high-end product and few people could afford it at that time. Even though it was available in every store, the order would be submitted to the headquarters in the end. Therefore, you will find out the purchase information of that pocket watch if you read through the data bank of the headquarters.”

When speaking, the old man led them to the inside most shelves.

“Here it is.”
