Chapter 1889



"I suppose you've been waiting for quite some time. I was sleeping for a bit just

now. You could have asked Caroline to call me down." I sat down on the single sofa.

Drover still had the document on the table while he smiled at me. He shook his head to express that it did not matter. "I was the one who didn't come at the right time. Me waiting for a bit is nothing."

After that, we procrastinated no more and conducted our project discussions that lasted a few hours.

Time flew by so fast that the sky outside was slowly getting darker.

After communicating the details, Drover got up and was prepared to leave, but

Caroline had already prepared dinner. "Will you be leaving now, Mr. Drover? Why don't you stay and have dinner?" "That's right, do stay for dinner," I echoed softly.

Seeing that even I have said something, Drover nodded. "Pardon my intrusion, then.

Theo had not come home yet, so Drover and I ate first.

"Caroline's cooking is delicious. You can eat more."

"The food's really fragrant. Madam and President Grant certainly dine well every day." Shuffling through his cutleries, Drover seemed to have a great appetite for these dishes.

"By the way, my students have all already moved in. I didn't have the time to mention it before," Drover said to me abruptly after having just thought about it.

It seemed that he did not know that I had already been to the apartment.

I smiled faintly. "I know. I was there two days ago. Your students are very good. I'm very relieved to hand the house over to them."

Hearing this, Drover seemed to be stunned for a moment before he said, "Well, that's good."

After a while, we got up from the table.

"I haven't eaten so much for a long time. Caroline truly has great culinary skills." He looked at Caroline who was cleaning up and gave her a thumbs up.

Caroline liked being praised for her great cooking skills and already had a large smile on her face. "It's great that you enjoyed the food, Mr. Drover." "We've discussed the project and I've eaten a meal. It's time for me to leave. Thank you, Madam, for your hospitality today."

Him calling me 'Madam' made me a little embarrassed.

I waved my hand. "Mr. Drover, don't be polite. Actually, you don't need to call me ' Madam'. It sounds weird."

Drover looked at me with a smile on his lips as he raised his brow slightly. "Shall I call you Miss Lane or Wanda?"

His tone was a little gentle when he said my name, and I instantly got goosebumps.

Embarrassed, I said softly, "Like how I address you, Miss Lane would be better."

At that moment, I seemed to have noticed his somewhat disappointed expression, but it had only been for a moment. Drover quickly answered, "Alright then, Miss Lane.

"Yeah." This address was a lot more pleasant to me.

"Then, I'll be heading off first."

With his hands on his back, he turned around and walked forward. His car was parked not far away.

He suddenly turned around after

taking a few steps, his bright smile looking even more beautiful under the hazy moonlight." Actually, compared to 'Mr. Drover', I hope that you can call me by my name so that we don't sound like strangers."

We were obviously not very familiar with one another, though.

I paused, really

Over continued, "I

"I

ster he said that, he turned

and left.

I was a little lost as I watched him drive away.

Drover wanted to be my friend?

Why did I feel like it was a little weird?

I shook my head and was about to head back in when the sound of the car's horn came from behind me.

Theo had returned.

He drove into the villa, and I went up to welcome him.

Seeing me, he looked a little suspicious. "Why are you outside?"

"I was just sending Mr. Drover off."

"He just left?" asked Theo as his gaze directed outside.

I nodded. "Yes. I kept him for dinner. Come in."
