Chapter 567: She Had A Favor To Ask
The lady boss looked at the man in front of her with enthusiasm, smiling so much that her small eyes narrowed into a line.
The lady boss had always been curious about Su Wan. It was rare to see such a beautiful girl who was single. Today, after the appearance of Fiennes, she was even more interested in gossip.
Originally, the lady boss wanted to ask if Fiennes was Su Wan’s boyfriend, but this sentence was too straightforward. After thinking for a second, the lady boss changed it to ask if Fiennes was Su Wan’s friend.
The difference of one word was a big difference in knowledge.
Perhaps this man was Su Wan’s suitor?
Well, it was not impossible…
As the lady boss thought about it, the interest in her eyes grew stronger.
Fiennes was the heir of the Siswell family. Very few people dared to stare at him like this.
But when he thought about the middle-aged woman, Fiennes could not help but have a layer of small b.u.mps on his skin.
Fiennes frowned discreetly. He smiled slightly and s.h.i.+fted his gaze away from the lady boss.
“That’s right. I’m Miss Su’s friend. If she comes back, can you pa.s.s her a note for me?”
The lady boss nodded generously. “No problem.”
As the lady boss spoke, she tore a page from her notebook and handed the electronic pen to Fiennes.
“Go ahead and write.”
Fiennes took the piece of paper and wrote a few lines on it with a wave of his pen.
— Miss Su, I have something urgent to attend to today. I’m really sorry. I hope you won’t be angry. This is my contact information. I’ll be waiting for you at any time.
Fiennes signed his name in a lively manner and attached a line of numbers. It was his contact number.
Fiennes carefully folded the paper and handed it to the lady boss.
“Thank you. Then I’ll have to trouble you to pa.s.s it to Miss Su.”
Hearing Fiennes’ polite words, the lady boss revealed a bright smile.
“No problem. It’s a small matter. Come again when you have time.”
Fiennes maintained his original polite expression and nodded at the lady boss again. Then, he strode out of Tianqing Hotel.
Seeing the tall figure walk out of the door, the lady boss could not help but lower her head and look at the note in her hand.
Should she open it and take a look?
The lady boss could not suppress her curiosity and opened the note like a thief.
Seeing the first sentence, the lady boss let out a sigh of relief. It turned out that the man just stood her up. No wonder he came here to ask about Miss Su’s whereabouts.
However, when the lady boss’s gaze s.h.i.+fted to the signature, she was instantly stunned.
Fiennes Siswell…
Siswell…
Was it the Siswell family, the head of the four great families?
Heavens, even if the man just now was a branch of the Siswell family, to ordinary commoners, it was an extremely high status that could not be reached.
Judging from the lady boss’ shrewd eyes over the years, when that young man heard that Su Wan didn’t look so disappointed, it was obvious that he liked Su Wan.
Su Wan was really lucky to be able to climb up such a high branch.
The lady boss took out a mirror and looked at her face several times. The clear mirror reflected a face that had experienced many vicissitudes.
Thinking back to those years, when she was only in her early twenties, was she also as beautiful as a flower or jade? Why was it not possible for such a n.o.ble young master to pursue her?
The lady boss sighed at Su Wan’s good fortune as she fiddled with the mirror in self-pity for a long time.
No, when Su Wan came back, she must suck up to her. If she were to become a phoenix in the future, could she take the opportunity to get some benefits?
…
Fiennes walked out of Tianqing Hotel. He opened the door of the maglev car and wondered if he should go back first.
Since he had left a note, the lady boss would definitely pa.s.s it to Su Wan.
However, the lady boss had said that Su Wan had not returned until now. It was almost noon. Where would she be now?
Because he had stood her up, she went shopping to buy a bunch of things in a fit of anger. Or did she eat and drink too much?
Fiennes was amused by the a.s.sociation that he had formed. A ray of light flashed across his blue eyes. Based on his intuition, he felt that it was unlikely that Su Wan would do that.
Should he go to the coffee shop and ask the waiter about Su Wan’s condition before she left?
Fiennes thought about it and finally pressed the coordinates of the coffee shop and had the maglev car drive in that direction.
…
At a coffee shop facing the street in the Baishan District.
Su Wan was sitting by the window of the coffee shop. The coffee in front of her had long been cold. The bright sunlight shone on Su Wan’s eyes and brows.
Su Wan looked at the clock on the coffee shop. She pursed her lips, feeling more and more frustrated.
If it weren’t for Nono, she wouldn’t have sat here all morning.
Was that guy Fiennes coming or not? That guy was too unreliable. He even promised that he would be on time, but now he was almost three hours late!
Su Wan really wanted to leave, but when she thought of the little one who was still sleeping in the robot store, she couldn’t move her feet.
Su Wan hated people who were late the most. If they were within half an hour, it would be fine if they had a valid reason, but if they were three hours late, how could she bear it?
But she had a favor to ask, and it was annoying.
Su Wan sighed helplessly. She stirred the coffee with a spoon and childishly stirred the coffee into many swirls.
Should she leave?
She had waited for so long, but she was unwilling to leave all of a sudden. Moreover, she did not know how to contact Fiennes…
Su Wan thought for a long time. Just as she was about to stand up, she suddenly heard a deep and magnetic voice from behind her.
“Miss Su, so you haven’t left yet!”
The male voice carried obvious surprise.
Su Wan was stunned when she heard that. She turned around in a daze, and a handsome european-style face unexpectedly appeared in her eyes.
This n.o.ble young master had finally remembered. Was there still someone like her?
Su Wan frowned. Although she was unhappy, she still stood up politely and nodded slightly at Fiennes.
Fiennes looked at Su Wan fixedly. The sunlight outside the window was dazzling, giving Su Wan’s clear face a layer of golden light. It was so beautiful that it was unreal. It made people think of a beautiful woman like Jade.
Su Wan was wearing a light blue dress. Her long black hair cascaded down her shoulders. Her pair of lively eyes seemed to be able to speak.
“Young Master Fiennes, you seem to be a little late.”
It wasn’t just a little late!
Su Wan’s tone was indifferent, and no emotions could be heard from it. However, Fiennes could clearly see the displeasure in Su Wan’s eyes.
It seemed that this girl was really angry…
Fiennes smiled bitterly in his heart. He reached out his hand to touch his nose and sincerely apologized to Su Wan.
“I’m sorry, Miss Su. Something happened at my sister’s birthday party yesterday, and she was busy until this morning. Miss Su, can you forgive me?”
