The Billionaire's Ex-Wife Returns (Lucy and Landon) novel Chapter 24

Chapter 24: She’s Back

Landon put on his coat and lifted his head.

A knock had come in, and after a few seconds, the head of the same employee from earlier poked out between the doors. His expression still showed fear toward his boss. But Landon merely glanced at him briefly before ensuring his tie was fixed around his neck.

"What is it this time?" Landon prompted the employee to begin what he wanted to tell him.

After getting permission to speak, the employee said, "Sir, the meeting with Mr. Baek from Jinju Construction will start in an hour."

"Postpone it." Landon turned around to face him. "Actually, reschedule my plans for these upcoming two days." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"W-why, sir?"

"Because I have an urgent business to attend."

Urgent business? What was more urgent than meeting the executive director of a top construction company in the country? David, the employee, wanted to know what had made Landon change his plans so abruptly. But, alas, he had no courage to voice out his questions.

None of the employees in the Westwood corporation would dare to.

The sudden notice of his new plans had David and some other employees running back and forth to arrange a smooth flight for Landon toward Virela City.

As Landon walked toward his private plane, David’s phone suddenly rang. He exchanged a few words with the caller, and after hanging up, he hurried to Landon’s side.

"Sir, wait!" When Landon halted his steps, David said, "The interior painter we hired just arrived in the city. Should we have them work on the building immediately?"

Landon brought his brows together, a sign he was getting impatient with the delay. His company was getting more massive and in demand, and thus, a new building was built in Grid City. The construction lasted more than two years and it was finished just a month ago. However, they couldn’t open it just yet.

For the finishing touch before the opening day, Landon hired an interior painter.

He had searched far and wide, but none had suited his standard.

Only this one particular painter he had come across on the internet had met the checks on his list.

Landon contemplated it. This painter had kept him waiting for a month even when he offered a lot of money. They even dared to refuse to work for him if Landon could not wait.

But he couldn’t back down because the painter’s art pieces were excellent.

"Have them work tomorrow and arrange a place for them to stay."

After he said that, Landon went up to the plane.

At the same time.

A woman walked while pushing the suitcase forward. Her appearance was beautiful and bright. A yellow cashmere scarf was wrapped around her neck, and she looked charming like a cute doll.

The air inside the airport was cold, and there was a lot of noise coming from the people ushering around. However, her beautiful and elegant appearance was not hindered by these.

Rather, a lot of people couldn’t help but turn their heads whenever she walked past them.

The woman stopped in the middle of walking and fished out her phone from the pocket inside her long coat. Then, brought it beside her ear.

On the other side of the line was a lively voice. "Miss Grey, it’s done!"

Lucy asked casually, "You weren’t found out?"

"Of course not! It was sent out anonymously, so there’s no way for them to lead to us."
