The Three Little Guardian Angels novel Chapter 977

Chapter 977

Barbara’s cheeks were slightly warm as she buried her face in his shoulder and neck while he chuckled and carried her into the bedroom.

The next day, because of last night’s downpour in Bussburgh, the cold weather could not have gotten any colder. It was 9:00 a m. when it was still drizzling, Maisie took Lucy to several shops to discuss the rent and lease of those locations, and they finally chose a shop lot that was located in the Golden Triangle.

As the two walked out of the building, Lucy held up an umbrella and walked next to Maisie. “Ms. Vanderbilt, only the rent would cost us $500,000 per year. Wouldn’t it be a little too expensive?”

Maisie smiled. “The Golden Triangle is the most prosperous commercial center in Bussburgh. After all, it’s located in an area that has a large flow of people. A lot of foreign businessmen would fight each other just to secure themselves a location in this area for their business. Finding ourselves a shop lot here with an annual rent of only $500,000 is more than what we could’ve bargained for.”

Lucy arrived at a lightbulb moment after hearing that explanation.

The two walked to the car and saw Jackie’s car parked nearby.

Two men in black approached them, and Maisie took the umbrella in Lucy’s hand and said to her, “You should get in the car first.”

But…” Lucy hesitated, but Maisie comforted her and said everything would be fine.

After Lucy got into the car uneasily, Maisie closed the door and glanced at the two men walking in her direction.

One of the men said, “Ms. Vanderbilt, our employer has requested you to come with u s.”

Maisie followed them to the car, and the man in black opened the car’s door. The car’s interior looked extremely spacious, and it was equipped with everything other than a kitchen sink.

Jackie sat in the car with a dark brown fur coat draped over his body and a black turtleneck. He gently shook the wine glass in his hand , and the swaying wine looked a s red as blood. “Aren’t you going to bring anyone along with you this time around?” Maisie laughed, crossed her legs together, leaned forward slightly, propped her elbow against her knee, and rested her chin on her palm. “Mr. Clifford, how many men do you expect me to bring along?”

Jackie raised his head and took a sip of wine, and his gaze was fixed on the wine glass. “You set me up the other day. Aren’t you afraid that I am back to even the score?” She chuckled. “So, are you saying that you’re going to settle the account with me now?”
