Chapter 56
After having Friyxian dishes. Mikayla and Maxius headed to the elevator, not noticing that someone was watching them.
Mikayla didn’t ask Josiah to wait, as she didn’t know how long the meal would take. It was only after they left the restaurant that she realized Maxius didn’t have a car.
Standing outside, the cold wind was blowing
Mikayla pulled her coat tighter. “Let’s hail a cab Although she was fully bundled up, she couldn’t withstand the piercing wind.
Her breath was visible in the air as she spoke. These past few days had been the coldest days in Xosa

Maxius took off his coat and draped it over Mikayla. “I didn’t know you’re afraid of the
Abroad, there wouldn’t be such cold weather as Xosa.
“I’m fine. You can have it back, said Mikayla
Maxius had stepped to the roadside and waved down a cab. But because it was the peak hour for dinner, the road was crowded and jammed.
“Guess I’ll need to apply to the company to allocate you a car,” she said. The money she had was just enough to buy a house for Maxius.
Thank you, Ms. Salvatore?” Maxius smiled and didn’t refuse. Having a car for commuting would indeed be much more convenient and save a lot of time.
They finally managed to get a cab and arrived at Watermill Cove. It was a high–end residential area in Xosa. In recent years, the prices of the houses downtown had soared and been in great demand. Quinnlyn had to visit a dozen of them, along with the help of her friend who worked in an agency, to find the right one. It happened that the landlord wanted to sell it urgently, and the price was favorable.
It was only about a ten–minute drive from their workplace.

They opened the door and entered a well–decorated two–bedroom condominium. It was simple, elegant, and ready to move in

“It’s nice! How much is it? I’ll pay you back when I’ve made enough money, Maxius took the key from Mikayla

“If you work well for ine. I’ll consider this house as my down payment,”
Maxius was an orphan. He had relied on scholarships and his own earnings to get through school. As a fresh graduate, he naturally couldn’t compare with Mikayla, who hailed from an affluent background.
“Does this mean that I have to sell myself to you?” Maxius said amusingly
Mikayla chuckled. “Pretty much! You’re too excellent. I’m afraid that you would be poached by someone! I’ll feel
I’ll feel more at ease if you take the house.” “You’re a businessman indeed! You know how to get in on the ground floor.” Maxius‘ eyes shone brightly as he watched Mikayla’s slender figure. “Of course!” Mikayla turned around, and Maxius quickly shifted his gaze to one side without being noticed. “Are you moving in tomorrow?” “Yeah,” Maxius replied.
“Do you need any help?” she asked.
“I don’t have much stuff. I can do it myself!” Typically, men’s belongings could be packed in just one suitcase.
They sat in the room for a while. It had been an hour later when they emerged from Watermill Cove. Maxius hailed a cab to send Mikayla home. Across the road, a man in a car leaned out and captured all their movements.
Sundays were days to sleep through for office workers. After getting up and having breakfast, Mikayla went back to sleep indulgently. When she woke up again, it was already 2 p.m.
After washing up, Mikayla got dressed and went downstairs. “Where’s Mrs. Ludwig?”
Sophia replied respectfully, “Mrs. Ludwig has gone out to play cards. She told us not to wake you up before she left.”
“Okay!” Mikayla walked into the dining room and started eating.
Someone’s name flashed on her phone.
Mikayla picked it up. “Hello, Laicas.
“Mikayla, I have s
some clues here. You want to come over!” said Lucas Grayston.
Lucas Grayston was Mikayla’s high school classmate. After graduating from high school, he followed his father and worked in a relevant department.
She had been in touch with her old friend since the car accident last time, hoping he could help her find out something. Although Winona had exposed herself to her more than once, Mikayla suspected the existence of other accompliers, as it was impossible for Winona to do such a thing alone. She wouldn’t let off any of those people.
She wouldn’t be kind enough to spare those who wanted her dead.
“Sure! I’ll be there in half an hour,” said Mikayla.
“Okay, let me know when you arrive, said Lucas
Mikayla heard someone calling his name on the other end, so she hung up

“Lucas, you’re getting better at words since becoming a manager” She recalled that Lucas used to be the representative of sports classes in school He hardly talked and was serious.
