Chapter 67
While | was handling the paperwork, the property manager cover personally. We exchanged pleasantries
and took sphotos, and he insisted on treatingto dinner, which | declined. | planned to head straight
back to school.
They accompaniedto the entrance, and as | reached the roadside to call a taxi, a sudden honking caught my
attention. | looked up to see an Audi pulling up.
A woman with a ponytail leaned out the window and shouted, "Are you blind? What are you doing standing in the
middle of the entrance? Move it!"
| turned to look back. I was clearly standing to the side of the door, not in the middle. She should just admit she
had bad driving skills instead of blamingfor blocking the road.
I ignored her, but to my surprise, the woman had quite a temper. She flung open her car door and stepped out as
if she was ready to fight me. Another woman in white quickly followed and rushed in front of her, apologizing
profusely.

"I'm so sorry! She's in a bad mood today."
Since the woman in white had a decent attitude, | decided not to pursue the matter. Just as | was about to nod in
acknowledgment, the woman in white suddenly opened her wallet and threw a red bill my way.
"Take this and buy yourself a drink."
Before | could process what had happened, she dragged her fiery friend back into the car. | stood there, stunned.
Did she mean that as a gesture of goodwill, or was it a sign of disdain? | couldn't quite tell.
Then | heard the woman in white say to the angry girl, "Con. Stop making a scene. We need to finish selling
the house and go see Charlotte.
"She's been in the hospital for so long, and as her sister, you haven't visited her. Isn't that a bit much?"
| was taken aback when | heard them mention Charlotte. It turned out that the fiery woman was Charlotte's
sister, which explained her unreasonable attitude. | shook my head and went back to calling a taxi.
Just then, my phone lit up with a call from Lucy. She was Gordon Zimmer's daughter, the president of the
business association.
She had invitedto dinner at the Wellington Hotel last time, but we hadn't been
in touch since. | wondered why she was callingnow.
Nevertheless, | answered the call.
"Mr. White, where are you having fun today?"
| chuckled. "I'm just an ordinary student. What fun could | possibly be having?"
"Not having fun? Then I'll cfind you and liven things up a bit!"
| couldn't help but wonder what kind of conversation this was. | felt both amused and confused. "What do you
want?" | asked.
"lI want to have sfun with you!" she replied.

| got straight to the point and asked, "Cut it out. What's the real reason for your call?"
"You're so young, yet you sound so serious!" Lucy Zimmer's voice was playful. "Where are you? I'd like to bring
you a little gift to apologize for how | acted last twe met."
"No need for that," | declined.
"Oh, con! Just sendyour address."
| reluctantly provided her with the address for Pelagos Estates.
About 20 minutes later, a brand-new Rolls-Royce pulled up in front of me.
She stepped out in a white shirt and jeans, her hair styled in a bun on top of her head. She looked fresh and
capable, though it was hard to ignore that three buttons of her shirt were deliberately left undone.
Most women would look sexy with just two buttons undone, but | was taken aback by her boldness in leaving
three open.
