Chapter 59
“Could the flight be delayed?” Benji asked.
They both walked forward, not noticing a woman with curly red hair in a black dress and sunshades who walk past them.
At that moment, Rickard felt something. He turned around and saw the woman walking over to a Porsche parked by the road.
“Benji, does she… look like Hesper?”
“What? Mrs. Duval?” Benji looked over too.
However, her emanation and outfits were very different from hers. How could that be her?
“Mr. Duval, are you mistaken? Why would she show up here?”
“You’re right…” Rickard took a deep breath, thinking that he imagined it because he was fatigued recently.
“Let’s go in and take a look.”
The two walked over. No one noticed that the woman who got into the Porsche had lowered the window and showed half of her pretty profile.
“It’s been a while, Rickard Duval.” The face behind the sunshades really did belong to Hesper.
“Let’s go. I need to rest at the hotel.” At her words, the driver drove
away.
Rickard and Benji waited in vain. Benji didn’t understand. “What happened? Did the person not show up?”
“No, they might have left.” Rickard looked upset.
On the verge of the transfer from Lane Holdings, it was impossible
that the person in charge didn’t show up. However, they had waited very long but didn’t see them. There was only one possibility left. That person left without them noticing.
“Um… Did they not know that we came here to pick them up?”
Benji couldn’t believe that. Having gotten in touch with the manager, they only went over when they confirmed the schedule.
Now that this happened, it caught them off guard.
“It’s alright. Since we have a partnership, that person will eventually have to make an appearance. I’m interested in seeing what games they’ll play!”
Rickard scoffed. After being in an executive position for a long time, he had trained himself to not make mistakes. It was obvious that that person had triggered him.
He didn’t say anything and left with Benji.
However, on the way back, Juniper called.
“Hello? What is it?” Rickard was upset, so he didn’t sound very friendly.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates…
Juniper paused then smiled and said, “Why are you so upset? My appreciation party is tomorrow. I want to ask you to come with me.”
In the past two years, Juniper had entered the entertainment industry and become one of the top hosts of Netherton. She previously hosted a charity event and got great feedback.
However, Rickard said, “I can’t attend, but I’ll send a gift over.”
“But-” Juniper wanted to say more, but the phone was cut off.
She bit her lip as she looked at her dark screen. She wanted him more than any gift.
Unfortunately, after Hesper left, even though Rickard never drew a
clear line, he never acknowledged their relationship either.
She was planning to get closer to him during the party, but now that wasn’t going to happen.
