Chapter 147 Their Secret
So powerful, yet willing to be recruited by Aylin, Gavyn couldn’t help but feel more and more puzzled. Aylin seemed like a mysterious figure shrouded in the mist of the jungle, with countless secrets waiting for him to uncover.
One ends, another begins.
Make him unpredictable!
This mysterious feeling stirred up an uncontrollable restlessness within him, yet it also carried a lethal allure that was impossible to forget.
Gavyn was overwhelmed with distress, while Aylin was brimming with the joy of a resounding victory.
Waylon stepped forward, his peach blossom eyes full of admiration, “Ms. Koch, you possess. extraordinary skills. Congratulations on winning another impressive comeback battle.”
Aylin’s brow furrowed slightly, her smile fading as if she had just remembered something.
“Cut it out!”
Just now, the situation was urgent, and she didn’t have time to think too much about it. Only now did she realize that Waylon had witnessed everything from beginning to end.
“Don’t you dare reveal a single word about what you’ve seen and heard today!”
Aylin wrapped her arms around herself, her cold voice full of warning, “If Gavyn finds out I know hacking skills and comes looking for trouble, I’ll take you down!”
Waylon was alarmed.
He broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this and quickly made a zipping gesture, responding, “Don’t worry, my lips are sealed. There won’t be a third person who knows about this!
This is our little secret.”
After taking the oath, Waylon returned to his playful demeanor. With a mischievous glint in his peach blossom eyes, he deliberately emphasized the words “our secret,” making them sound sticky and sweet, clearly hinting at something.
Aylin wasn’t in the mood to joke around with him, so she immediately issued an order to send him away.
“It’s getting late now, you can go.”
Waylon had already come, so he wasn’t willing to leave easily. He immediately put on a pitiful expression and said, “Ms. Koch, you’re really too cold-hearted. I’ve come all this way, and you’re not even willing to treat me to a meal? Who kicks someone out when it’s mealtime?”
Waylon didn’t say it outright, but ever since their time at Deli Restaurant, he had been utterly impressed and in awe of Aylin’s exceptional cooking skills.
If one could have dinner with a beautiful person, it would be even better if the meal was prepared by the beauty themselves.
That feeling, words can’t describe how wonderful it was!
Aylin chuckled and said, “If Mr. Kline really has nowhere to eat, you can mention my name at Deli Restaurant, and they’ll give you a free meal. But don’t even think about eating here at my place; I don’t entertain strangers.”
The words were spoken without any consideration for his feelings, blatantly implying that he was just an idle and insignificant person.
“Come on, if we can’t have a meal together, we can at least talk business, right?”
Surprisingly, Waylon wasn’t annoyed at all. He strolled around Aylin’s living room and noticed a huge folding screen near the balcony. It was a classic double-sided zardozi embroidery, which seemed a bit out of place in the European-style living room. He wondered why it was placed there.
Suddenly, Waylon thought of Aylin’s dress, which he had previously assumed to be from a high-end designer. Now, he realized it was actually zardozi embroidery.
“Did the Koch Group once have a zardozi embroidery business?” A thought flashed through his mind as he asked Aylin.
Aylin raised her eyebrows in surprise, “How did you know?”
Mother loved zardozi embroidery, and there were quite a few items in our home that she had personally designed. The Koch Group had once invested a lot in this area, but just as it was starting to show promise, my parents had an accident. After Hanson took over the Koch Group, he immediately cut this project, claiming it wasn’t profitable.
Waylon squinted, looking inscrutable, “New York is a famous place for zardozi embroidery, and the Koch Group once dabbled in it. They actually did quite well. Have you ever thought about reviving their business?”
