Chapter 74
“Uh, bye. Talk to you later!” Macy cut the line abruptly.
Huh? What was going on?
Didn’t I ask Jared to send her back last night? I couldn’t believe she found herself a one-night stand in that circumstance!
Wait, was that Jared
I proceeded to call Jared next. The phone rang for quite some time before someone picked up
“Scarlett,” he answered in a clear voice. It didn’t seem like he was asleep, so I asked, “What are you doing?”
“I’m driving. What’s wrong?” he replied.
Well, it looked like he wasn’t with Macy.
Chuckling, I told him, “I’m done with work. Are you free this afternoon? Let’s have lunch together.”
“Sure,” he agreed without hesitation.
When I hung up, Nick was looking at me, amused. “Scarlett, seriously?”
I shot him a puzzled look. “What’s wrong?”
He sighed, “Is it that bad to spend some time alone with me? You keep calling your friends and inviting them here!”
Ugh, how childish!I ignored his outburst and gazed at the bustling city. “A City is developing swiftly.”
Gazing at International Trade Center located right in the bustling area, I told Nick, “This is a tall building!”
He knew I was trying to change the topic and huffed, “Fuller Corporation’s building is taller than this. Plus, it houses different companies inside.”
“Oh? You seem to know it well.” I grew curious,
“Mm.” He grunted and added, “My mom bought this building with another tech company’s owner. She has a company inside.”
So this building was owned by Cameron.I couldn’t help but admire this capable woman. She was both wealthy and pretty.
I recalled her saying she had another daughter when we were in Pear Garden, “You have a sister?” I asked Nick curiously.
Nick seemed to hate this topic as his expression soured. “That’s her daughter. It has nothing to do with me!”
