She Becomes Glamorous After The Engagement Annulment novel Chapter 477

Chapter 477 I’m Q

When the men heard him, they panicked and stopped him. “Sir, you can’t-“

But before he could finish, the man pushed him aside. “Step aside and let me out! I’m not going to let that little fatty look down on me today!”

The men weren’t as strong as him, so he broke free easily. He walked toward the elevator hall outside.

At the sight, the men looked at one another and suddenly said, “It seems like we can only rely on the old method again.”

Nora waited for a while after she sent the message.

The other party’s thoughts were very pure like a child’s. Although he had a high IQ, provocation might still work on him. Unexpectedly, though, not only did he not come down, but he did not even reply to the message. In the midst of her hesitation, a familiar figure suddenly walked out of the hotel’s elevator hall.

Nora was a little taken aback to see him.

It seemed like the other party had also spotted her. His eyes lit up and he walked over. While walking over, he held a handkerchief over his mouth and coughed a few times.

 

Seemingly having coughed up something, he glanced at the handkerchief. Then, he folded it and placed it in his pocket. He walked over with a gentle smile and said, “I wasn’t expecting to see you here, Ms. Smith.”

Nora was taken aback. “Mr. Gray?”

The person in front of her was none other than Anthony Gray’s uncle, Caleb Gray!

Nora narrowed her eyes and looked around. She asked, “What are you doing here?”

Caleb coughed again and said, “I have a client here… I’m here to discuss a business deal with him about herb purchase. Cough, cough, cough… It’s been a long while since I last saw you, Ms. Smith, but you are still as radiant as ever. What are you doing here, though?” Before Nora could speak, Brenda suddenly rushed in between the two of them. After looking left and right, she patted Nora on the shoulder and said, “Hey, how sneaky of you, Nora!”

But before she could finish, Nora said, “This is my ex-fiance’s uncle.”

The rest of Brenda’s words were pushed back down her throat.

Caleb coughed another couple of times and smiled. His rich and mellow voice was very pleasant. “That makes me sad, Ms. Smith. Aren’t we friends?”

He thought that she was being too distant while introducing him just now. Nora thought for a moment. The two of them had talked quite a few times by now, so she nodded and replied, “I guess we are.”

Caleb sighed and shook his head dotingly. “You sound a little too much like you’re forcing yourself to say that.”

Nora smiled. Suddenly, she said, “If this was a text, my response would probably be a series of ellipses right now.”

Caleb held his forehead and said, “Am I rendering you so speechless that you don’t want to talk to me anymore, Ms. Smith?”

Nora stared into his eyes. When she saw that he looked normal and comfortable when he said that, she smiled and replied, “Not at all.”

Caleb seemed like he wanted to talk to her a little more, but after checking the time, he said, “I wanted to invite you for a meal to thank you for your help with my pharmaceutical company’s registration the other time, but I have a business meeting later, so… next time?”

Nora stepped aside. “Let’s do that next time.”

Caleb walked past her. The man was wearing a black suit. He was already 29 years old after all, so he looked exceptionally mature and gentle. Nora was staring at him from behind when Brenda stretched out her hand and waved in front of her. “Stop staring at him, he’s already gone! With such a handsome and gentle guy like him, why did you choose a stick-in-the-mud like Justin? He isn’t romantic at all.”

Nora retracted her gaze and looked at Morris.

Morris nodded. He held his hand over his earphone and spoke into it in a low voice. Two minutes later, he said, “He is indeed here for a business meeting. The other party is a medicinal herb merchant from overseas. He also has another business meeting later.”

Nora breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that.

She had suspected Caleb of being the mysterious person just now.

However, Caleb spoke very elegantly and his words were all very appropriate. He differed too much from the mysterious person who didn’t know much English.

Moreover, she had deliberately brought up the topic of ellipses to sound him out just now.

Caleb also understood the meaning of ellipses.

Therefore, it should be okay to rule him out… right? While thinking about it, she lowered her head and looked at her cell phone again-the other party still hadn’t replied to her message yet.

The three of them waited for a few hours in the hotel lobby.

Seeing that there still weren’t any clues-in fact, the other party wasn’t even sending messages to Nora anymore-Nora stood up and said, “The two of you can continue standing guard here. I’m going back first.”

Brenda nodded immediately. “A third wheel like you should have left a long time ago, Nora. Captain Ford and I will be fine by ourselves here!”

After Nora left, Brenda took out her cell phone and picked up a call. “Nora has already left and is going home now, Justin! What is she doing? Can’t you just ask her? What are you asking me for? It’s not like she’s gonna be in bed with me…”

Beep… beep… beep…

The disconnected tone rang out on the other end of the line. Brenda curled her lips disdainfully. “What a prude. He can’t even take a joke.”

Nora drove back to the Smiths. As soon as she entered, she saw Justin waiting for her in the parking lot. The man stared at her, making Nora feel as if she was being caught fooling around with another man.

She got out of the car and asked, “What are you doing here?”

“Waiting for you.”

The man answered casually and naturally. Then, he turned and followed beside her. “What are you investigating lately?”
