Why does Abe want to meet me? Judging from the attitude of Danny and Dante, he seems to be their boss.
Suddenly, the woman’s voice sounded outside the bathroom. “Ms. Stovall, are you done?”
Pursing my lips, I turned off the shower, put on the clothes, and opened the door.
The woman was getting agitated, but she quickly composed herself and said, “Ms. Stovall, Mr. Abe is waiting for you downstairs. Please go down now.”
I smiled faintly. “The etiquette in your country is rather strange. Why do I have to bathe and change clothes before meeting other people?”
However, she kept quiet and ushered me politely to go out.
Since the day I entered this villa, this is my first time stepping out of the room. The interior of the villa was decorated lavishly.
Stepping down the opulent spiral staircase, I gradually saw the man sitting in the living room.
Currently, he was making tea leisurely. The tea leaves rose and swirled inside the cup as he slowly poured a pot of hot water into it.
Meanwhile, Danny and Dante sat down gingerly in front of him.
When Abe passed them a cup of tea respectively, both of them immediately stood up and received the tea with two hands.
The woman went to Abe’s side and lowered her head subserviently. “Mr. Abe, Ms. Stovall is here.”
Abe did not respond. He continued to make tea and enjoy his tea as if he did not hear the woman.
Then, he glanced at Dante, “Is there any new gemstone in Wildefield?”
Dante promptly replied, “Not yet, but soon there will be many businessmen coming to gamble on stones. It won’t be long before the new product comes out.”
“Okay.” Abe took a sip of his tea and swept a glance at the woman from the corner of his eyes.
He spoke in a calm manner, “How long did you take?”
The woman stuttered, “H-half an hour, sir.”
Abe nodded. “We need people to deliver some goods now. You should go.”
Hearing his command, she paled instantly and collapsed on her knees. “Mr. Abe, please don’t send me. I won’t repeat my mistake next time. “
Danny and Dante looked at the woman with sympathy and wanted to say something for her.
But when they saw Abe furrowing his eyebrows, they quickly lowered their head and remained silent.
