Since the relevant person in charge at Aurous University also knew that Marianne was in Hong Kong, he had specially scheduled Marianne’s interview to be at three o’clock in the afternoon. This way, Marianne would have more than enough time and would not be too rushed regardless of whether she chose to come to Aurous Hill the day before or on the day of the interview.
Marianne also booked a return ticket to Hong Kong at half past nine according to this time. Under normal circumstances, the interview would definitely be done before six o’clock in the evening. Regardless of whether she could get the results she wanted or not, she intended to return to Hong Kong first so as not to be found out by Charlie.
This was also why Marianne wore a mask and a pair of sunglasses throughout the flight.
Ten minutes later, Marianne had already walked out of the airport and was prepared to take a taxi to Aurous University first. Although the interview was set in the afternoon, Marianne wanted to take advantage of the interval to understand the situation at Aurous University as well as its surrounding environment.
However, when she had just walked out of the airport, a middle-aged woman came up to her and asked respectfully, “Excuse me, are you Miss Marianne Long?”
Marianne instantly became nervous. She subconsciously took a step back, looked at the woman, and asked vigilantly, “Who are you?!”
When the other party saw that Marianne seemed to be a little nervous, she hurriedly explained, “Don’t be nervous, Miss Marianne. My name is Marilyn Lacey, and I’m Mr. Logan Carrick’s housekeeper in Aurous Hill. He asked me to come to the airport to pick you up as our house guest and also for lunch!”
Hong Kong and Southeast Asia had always had close ties. Shawn also had personal relationships with many wealthy people in Southeast Asia. Logan was a friend of Shawn’s father back then, and he later had many business dealings with Shawn. Therefore, Shawn was like a nephew to Logan.
When Shawn learned that Marianne was going to Aurous Hill, he wanted to go with her but had been rejected by Marianne. He had no choice but to call Logan and ask him to arrange for someone to help him to take care of Marianne.
Shawn did not know that Logan was in Aurous Hill, but he knew that Logan always had a property in Aurous Hill that was manned by someone. He was mainly concerned that his daughter might face some inconveniences as she would be all alone in an unfamiliar place, so he thought of asking Logan to arrange for a housekeeper and a driver so that Marianne would not need to worry about traffic upon her arrival and before she left Aurous Hill.
However, Logan happened to be in Aurous Hill by coincidence.
