Chapter 50 You Want to Stay Alone with Me So Much
Amanda finally pulled Iverson out of the alley.
“Mr. Byran, that’s what I’m thinking. We need another meeting before the project starts and targets…”
“Auntie didn’t catch up.”
Her words interrupted Amanda, who had been preparing explanations along the way.
Amanda let out a dry cough to mask her embarrassment.
He didn’t have any project meetings in the afternoon.
In front of Amanda, Iverson called the driver. “Come and pick me up now. I’m at the alley entrance.”
Seeing that Iverson hung up the phone, Amanda immediately said, “Since someone is coming to pick you up, Mr. Byran, I’m leaving now. See you at the project meeting later.”
Iverson grabbed Amanda’s arm and said, “You pulled me out, and now you want to leave me here alone?”
“I…” Amanda was speechless. “That’s not what I meant.”
“Didn’t you want to spend time alone with me? I will satisfy you.”
“Ahhh!”
While they were talking, Iverson’s car arrived.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
Before Amanda could react, she was stuffed into the car.
“Let’s go back to downtown.”
“I’ll just take a taxi myself.”
“I don’t mind if you pay me.”
“Mr. Byran.”
“If you say more, I can terminate this project on the grounds of the Sean Group breaching the contract. You should know better than me how much the Sean Group will lose if they don’t get the funds, right?”
Faced with Iverson’s calm expression, Amanda kept her mouth shut.
Although she was no longer in the Sean Group, she still had the company’s shares. The development of the company was closely related to her dividends. Otherwise, she would not continue to be in charge of the project.
In any case, Iverson was Party A. what he said was like a royal decree. Before the project was over, she had to listen to him as long as he didn’t ask her to kill others or set fire.
The black-colored commercial vehicle drove out of the alley and into the city.
The man’s gentle expression was covered in anxiety and unease in a white vehicle opposite the road. He held onto the steering wheel tightly, veins throbbing on his hand’s back.
He thought something had happened at Amanda’s house, so he rushed over. However, as soon as he arrived at the alley, he saw Amanda being carried home by a man.
He had been waiting here all afternoon until the two of them came out and got in the luxury car.
If he wasn’t seeing mistaken, that man was Iverson.
“Amanda is with Iverson?”
When the car arrived downtown, Amanda asked the driver to pull over.
“I’ll just get out of the car ahead.”
Iverson said, “I’ll drive you home.”
“No, I’ve made an appointment with the real estate agent. I want to see the house. It just so happens that the agent told me that the office building is here. I want to have a look.”
“You want to rent an office building?”
Amanda was stunned for a moment and felt she had said too much. She said perfunctorily, “Just look around. I’ll get out of the car in front.”
The driver glanced at the rearview mirror. When he saw Iverson nod, he slowly pulled over.
“Mr. Byran, I’m leaving.”
As soon as Amanda got out of the car, she felt relieved.
Iverson’s gaze followed her behind the car window for a long time.
After the driver drove, he called Jamie. “Is there any vacant office building next to Riverside Avenue?”
“I rented them out before. Oh, there’s one more, on the 22nd floor. The previous company hasn’t extended the contract at the end of the term. They just moved out.”
“Just give the information to the real estate agents and let them rent it out as soon as possible.”
Jamie was taken aback. “Rent it out as soon as possible?”
He had been by Iverson’s side for a long time and had dealt with many rental businesses of his store. This was the first time that Iverson had asked about such trifles.
However, Jamie’s sense was sensitive after working for Iverson for a long time. After a brief moment of surprise, he immediately thought of a possibility. “Is Miss Jewell renting an office?”
“Mm,” Iverson said flatly.
Jamie immediately understood. “I understand. Boss, would you like to lower the rent?”
“No need. According to the market price.”
Amanda didn’t like to take advantage of others, and she didn’t lack money. If it weren’t for the fact that he worried about other office buildings’ property safety, he wouldn’t have helped her.
Meanwhile, Amanda went to see the office building introduced by the real estate agent.
“This place is a little shabby, but the rent is reasonable. Money for goods.”
The real estate agent introduced the shop to Amanda. Amanda looked around and didn’t seem satisfied.
“The sunlight can’t come in. It looks very depressing. Forget it. Help me find somewhere else.”
“Okay.”
While they were talking, Amanda’s phone rang. It was a call from Patrick.
“Hello, Patrick.”
Patrick’s voice came through from the other end of the line. “Amanda, is your family alright? You didn’t reply to my message, did you?”
“Message?” Amanda glanced at her phone. “I’m sorry, Patrick, but I didn’t look at it. My family is fine. I’m back in town now.”
“That’s good. I haven’t given you the key to the house yet. Are you free tonight? I’ll treat you to dinner.”
“Oh, right, I forgot.” Amanda was stunned and smiled. “How can I let you treat me to dinner? I have to treat you. How about this? I’ll choose the place and send you the address later.”
“Okay, see you tonight.”
“See you tonight.”
After hanging up the phone, Amanda hesitated momentarily before sending a message to Joleen.
“Are you free tonight? Let’s have dinner together.”
Joleen didn’t reply.
Amanda frowned slightly.
Recently, Joleen had always been elusive, so she delayed her reply for a few days. Amanda didn’t know what she was busy with.
At the same time, at an apartment in the suburbs.
There was a violent sound of vomiting coming from the bathroom.
Joleen held onto the sink and vomited. Her face was ashen.
After she finally finished vomiting, she slowly sat on the toilet lid and saw the unread message on her phone.
Her eyes dimmed, and she typed in a line of text in the chat. “No, thanks. I’ll work overtime tonight.”
A second message popped on the screen just as she pressed the enter key. “I just happen to thank Patrick for helping me find an apartment. The three of us haven’t gathered together in a long time.”
Joleen’s eyebrows twitched as she clenched her phone.
“What apartment?”
“I’ve been staying in a hotel for a long time, haven’t I? I’ve been looking for a good place to stay. Patrick told me that a friend of his went abroad, and the apartment in the city center was empty, so he rented it to me.”
“Sisson Garden?”
“Yeah, how did you know?”
Joleen bit her lips.
How could she not know? She had gone to every corner of the city to help Patrick choose the apartment. She had also spent an entire year doing the decoration. Even the floor tiles and curtains were repeatedly selected by her.
She clearly remembered that when Patrick saw the apartment renovation, he hugged her and said, “Thank you, Joleen. It’s a warm home.”
She once thought that place would be their home in the future.
