Rhett composed himself, put the suit bag and the documents on the table, “Mr. Frasier, these are from Ms. Atherton. She said it’s a little thank you forÂ
you.’Â
Harland paused his smoking, his voice gave nothing away, “Go back.”Â
Rhett’s heart skipped a beat, then he said thoughtfully, “Ms. Atherton said if you didn’t want it, she’d give it to someone else. Since you don’t want it, I’llÂ
just…Â
What answered him was a cold look from the man, that look was like a wild beast facing an intruder eyeing its territory.Â
Rhett smiled to himself and sensibly put the stuff on the table. For some reason, that feeling of regret got even stronger…Â
Harland stubbed out his cigarette, his eyes landing on that slim figure waiting for a ride downstairs. A few seconds later, he forced himself to look away.Â
f he had known last night was the last time they’d meet like this, he might have…Â
Harland swallowed hard, cut off his thoughts, turned and walked to the desk, and coldly brushed off this sensitive topic.Â
Did you get any news about the car I asked you to check that night?”Â
thett shook his head, “No, that car’s license plate was fake. It’s pretty hard to track. Plus, that guy was really good at counter-surveillance, maybe even aÂ
acking expert. All the street cameras around were disabled, so it’ll take some time to crack them.”Â
I let you know as soon as there was any news.”Â
No need.”Â
hett was stunned.Â
He heard the man say, “If there’s any news later, send someone to tell Armando with a little pressure, he’ll take care of it.”Â
after that, he had nothing to do with Jovana anymore. Stuff like this was none of his business.Â
Also,” Harland said seriously, “have someone take care of the Glory Fencing Club’s surveillance later, and remind the staff to keep their mouths shut.”Â
That was pretty much the last time I helped her.Â
hett nodded seriously, “Got it.” With that, he quietly left the room.Â
The door was closed.Â
larland finally looked at the pile of stuff on the table.Â
le stayed silent for several seconds, finally put down the cigarette box, and couldn’t help but reach out to flip through the suit gift bag and the ocument folder on the table. There still seemed to be a faint, unique scent of hers lingering on them.Â
le suddenly thought of how serious she looked when she packed those things, and her hands were fair and slender, really pretty, obviously well taken are of…Â
Lealizing what he was thinking, Harland couldn’t help but curse and pressed his fingers to his brow with his eyes closed.Â
de prided himself on being calm and self-controlled. When people around him hung out at those places, he didn’t feel interested at all. Over the years, here were women who made moves on him, and his family set him up with quite a few women too, but he just didn’t feel like it.Â
But now I was fantasizing about her hands.Â
That was really ridiculous..Â
Let’sÂ
stop here.Â
Before I got in too deep, I just cut it off when I had to.Â
Downstairs.Â
Jovana was waiting for a taxi. The weather was especially hot today, but somehow, she felt a restless uneasiness inside…Â
At this moment, a car stopped in front of me.Â
The driver rolled down the window and said politely, “Ms. Atherton, Mr. Lowe asked me to give you a ride home. It’s hard to get a cab here.”Â

Jovana wanted to say no, but then a car behind her started honking impatiently, so she had to get in. “Sorry to trouble you.”Â
The car was driving on the road.Â
Jovana was just thinking about reaching out to Rhett to say thanks. She looked up without thinking and saw a familiar car.Â
It was Armando’s Bentley!Â
Jovana’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly lowered her head. Why did he come to Glory Fencing Club?Â
Thinking of that possibility, Jovana’s face went cold and she clenched her fingers in anger.Â
Ridiculous, he still didn’t trust her…Â
The two cars just passed by each other like that.Â
Jovana kept her head down, and in the other car, Armando frowned, his desire obvious.Â
If he turned his head a little, he might have seen Jovana in the car on the left.Â
Luckily, there wasn’t.Â
Jovana dodged a bullet.Â
Just calmed down.Â
A voice slowly came out from the car radio-Â

“According to rumors, the wife of the Dunbar Group’s president, Jovana, met at night with the president of a certain group in San Diego, and the two even went to the hospital together…”Â
