Chapter 2305
"How could there be such a coincidence? Could it have been intentionally arranged?" The leader of the group looked at James with suspicion.
James was shocked. "It can't be, right? Gloria does not seem like that kind of person. Her life is very simple and she usually doesn't interact with many people. I had also seen that woman as well, she is one of the people in their senior citizen dance group. She is one of the very few friends that Gloria has. Gloria is already very reserved. She usually kept her distance from me as well. She is just moved by me as I have always been very polite to her."
The leader nodded. "Mm-hmm! But you can't take this lightly.
This is a very rare catch. We absolutely can't take this lightly. Once we're able to bag this catch, we will be able to leave comfortably for the rest of our lives. From then on, we will flee to somewhere abroad and we'll never have to return again. We will never have to live in fear like this anymore. Think about what kinds of dealings we've made in the past. You spent so much effort for a whole month and you only got five hundred thousand dollars from that woman. You even indirectly caused two lives. That's not worth it! This kind of great catch is the most worthy for US. So, James, you must be very careful with this great catch!"
"I got it."
"It's a must to get her in the palm of your hands. It will only be easier for you to get her money once you've gotten her in the palm of your hands. However, you can't rush it just to do so and let her figure out that you're a scammer. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" James said firmly.
Even if he was filled with anger, he still had to follow the plan and take it one step at a time. He absolutely could not take it lightly.
The next morning, James arrived outside Gloria's courtyard very early in the morning. He held bread rolls in one hand and a container in another. The container was filled with the porridge that he had just bought. It was after he knocked on the door a few times that there were movements at the door. Gloria's voice, which sounded like she had just woken up, could be heard coming from inside the door. "Who is it?" Immediately after that, Gloria opened the door.
After all, the day has already dawned, and as a middle-aged person, she also did not have the habit of sleeping in. Also, she had asked who it was, but Gloria actually knew that the person standing outside must be James. The door was opened and it was just as she had expected. However, what Gloria did not expect was that James was standing there with his head facing outside and with his back facing Gloria.
"James, you're here so early. Is that breakfast you're holding in your hands? Why are y-you facing your back toward me?" Gloria deliberately asked when she already knew the answer.
In fact, she knew it very well that after that night, James certainly would put in even more effort. As expected, with his back facing Gloria, James politely and gently said, "Gloria, it's a little rude of me to come so early, but your friend was so upset yesterday, and I knew that you don't know how to cook, so I feel I must take care of your friend. That's why I came earlier to send breakfast to both of you. It's some delicious porridge. However, Gloria, I was afraid that you've not woken up yet or you came rushing to the door because I've knocked with no time to freshen up and make up, so I'll just pass you breakfast and leave. I promise you that I won't turn around to look at you.'
Gloria immediately stifled a laugh. "Pfft, James, are you very particular about all this?"
