Chapter 213 Dream

Meryl opened the stairwell door and returned to the office as the janitor descended the stairs, holding flowers and a broom.

On descending one floor, the janitor encountered Dalton puffing smoke in the stairwell..

He leaned against the wall, surrounded by cigarette butts, puffing smoke that softened his harsh features.

The janitor grabbed a few more glances at Dalton.

She seemed to be meeting this guy many times recently.

But if she remembered correctly, this floor housed the high-level conference room, and no one worked there.

The janitor was warm-hearted and talkative, and she could chat with anyone she met.

"Young man, what's bothering you? Smoking is harmful to your health. You can't smoke like this."

Dalton responded softly, "Yeah."

He glanced upstairs and saw that Meryl was gone. His eyes dimmed.

The janitor followed Dalton's gaze upstairs and suddenly

Chapter 213 Dream realized something.

"You like the girl upstairs?"

Dalton was slightly startled. "What?"

The janitor smiled. "I know it. From the look in your eyes, I can tell you like that girl."

"I just came here to smoke."

Dalton pinched out his cigarette in a panic.

"You are a handsome man. If you like her, just go up and confess. your love to her! Why are you hiding here and peeking at her?"

"I told you, I'm just here to smoke!"

Dalton's tone turned stern, his words reverberating down the

His face darkened, and he spun around and left, slamming the fire door behind him without a backward glance.

Seeing Dalton's angry and embarrassed look, the janitor shook her head helplessly.

"Such a bad temper. So what if you like her? Why so

embarrassed to admit it? So shy. You are not a student anymore. Be brave."

She muttered, "She's a pretty girl. If some brave guy gets her

first, you'll regret it then!"

Meryl had no idea what had happened downstairs.

Nor was she aware that Dalton's repeated appearance in the downstairs stairwell was due to his belief that someone was pursuing her.

Dalton learned through the company chat that someone had sent flowers to Meryl and wished to identify the sender.

Hearing the phone call that Meryl made in the stairwell and knowing that it was Malcolm who sent the flowers, he breathed a sigh of relief.

No wonder Chandler let the rumors spread but did not intervene.

Dalton sat in the office and rubbed his forehead.

He heard every word the janitor said at the end.

He liked Meryl?

Dalton wasn't sure. But he had insomnia recently and had some strange dreams every night.

After returning from the Stone Villa that day, he often woke up in the middle of the night, feeling inexplicably lost.

He felt as if he had lost something crucial but couldn't identify it, making him irritable and exacerbating his insomnia. Chapter 213 Dream

Just then, Elias knocked on the door and came in. "Mr. Dalton Aniston, we're off to Griffore for our annual party day after tomorrow. Mrs. Lydia Aniston mentioned she hasn't been there. yet and would like to tag along to explore." Galaxy Holdings Group's annual party, always well-funded, was held in a coastal city in Griffore, booking an entire five-star hotel.

There were three days of holiday connected with the weekend, so many employees would bring their families there and treat it as a trip.

Dalton said casually, "Well, if she wants to go, then help her book a plane ticket."

Elias responded and turned to leave.

Dalton thought of something else. "How many rooms did they book for the president's office this time?"

Elias was stunned, obviously stumped by the question. He scratched his head and said, "Well... Maybe I should go ask about it."

Ten minutes later, Elias came back.

"The president's office has arranged for eight rooms for cach of them. Mr. Aniston is staying in the presidential suite, while everyone else is in regular king-sized rooms."
