Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After Prison novel Chapter 213

Chapter 213 Dream 

Meryl opened the stairwell door and returned to the office as the janitor descended the stairs, holding flowers and a broom. 

On descending one floor, the janitor encountered Dalton puffing smoke in the stairwell.. 

He leaned against the wall, surrounded by cigarette butts, puffing smoke that softened his harsh features. 

The janitor grabbed a few more glances at Dalton. 

She seemed to be meeting this guy many times recently. 

But if she remembered correctly, this floor housed the high–level conference room, and no one worked there. 

The janitor was warm–hearted and talkative, and she could chat with anyone she met. 

“Young man, what’s bothering you? Smoking is harmful to your health. You can’t smoke like this.” 

Dalton responded softly, “Yeah.” 

He glanced upstairs and saw that Meryl was gone. His eyes dimmed. 

The janitor followed Dalton’s gaze upstairs and suddenly

“You like the girl upstairs?” 

Dalton was slightly startled. “What?”

The janitor smiled. “I know it. From the look in your eyes, I can tell you like that girl.” 

“I just came here to smoke.” 

Dalton pinched out his cigarette in a panic. 

“You are a handsome man. If you like her, just go up and confess. your love to her! Why are you hiding here and peeking at her?”

His face darkened, and he spun around and left, slamming the fire door behind him without a backward glance. 

Seeing Dalton’s angry and embarrassed look, the janitor shook her head helplessly. 

“Such a bad temper. So what if you like her? Why so 

embarrassed to admit it? So shy. You are not a student anymore. Be brave.” 

She muttered, “She’s a pretty girl. If some brave guy gets her

first, you’ll regret it then!” 

Meryl had no idea what had happened downstairs. 

Nor was she aware that Dalton’s repeated appearance in the downstairs stairwell was due to his belief that someone was pursuing her. 

Dalton learned through the company chat that someone had sent flowers to Meryl and wished to identify the sender.

Hearing the phone call that Meryl made in the stairwell and knowing that it was Malcolm who sent the flowers, he breathed a sigh of relief. 

No wonder Chandler let the rumors spread but did not intervene. 

Dalton sat in the office and rubbed his forehead. 

He heard every word the janitor said at the end. 

He liked Meryl? 

Dalton wasn’t sure. But he had insomnia recently and had some strange dreams every night.
