Chapter 709: Chapter 232 Vera Williams_4
The quiet room seed to echo with the palpable thumping of a heart.
“Mr. Sunny, I hope you’re safe. If possible, I… I hope that after you’ve finished your business, we could et,” the girl read the letter she had written, speaking to herself.
“Ah… People always say that a lady should never take the initiative to invite a boy to et. Is this too bold…”
“But from what I’ve heard, Mr. Sunny seems to have a very dangerous occupation. A hunter, maybe? If we don’t et now, we might never get the chance. Yes! You did the right thing, Miss Anne!”
“I wonder how Mr. Sunny’s affairs are going… I truly hope he’s safe.”
“Strange, why isn’t the ‘Stamp’ responding this ti.”
“…”
After finishing writing the letter, the girl affixed the stamp to the envelope.
While fiddling with it, she continually murmured to herself.
Writing this, the boldest letter of her life, really made her anxious.
However, before she could sort out her thoughts, the door was suddenly knocked on; before she could respond, a plump woman barged in as if entering her own room.
The girl quickly hid the letter in a drawer, speaking faintly, “Auntie, could you not enter my room without permission next ti? I’m dealing with… with sothing very important.”
The plump lady said indifferently, “Didn’t I knock?”
As she spoke, her cheeks trembled, and she added with exaggerated emotion, “Oh, my dear niece, do you really see your auntie as a stranger?”
Although the girl wasn’t happy.
She didn’t say anything.
After all, this was her own aunt.
The fat woman entered the room, placing her jewel-encrusted purse on the table.
Those little eyes sparkling with shrewdness quietly surveyed every corner of the room.
It seed she was checking to see if soone was hiding sowhere.
The girl’s thoughts could not escape the scrutiny of such an experienced woman.
She didn’t want the family’s assets coveted and potentially stolen by so unknown person.
As the plump lady looked around the room, she prattled on, “Anne, don’t bla your auntie for nagging, but you shouldn’t always mingle with those poor people. Giving away bread… Don’t you realize how many Gold Coins we’ve lost in these two months? If your mother knew, she would be very upset. Hmph, feeding those paupers for nothing, gaining no benefit… I think we’ll release one more batch today and then stop and not do it anymore.”
This wasn’t the first ti the girl had heard these words, but she patiently explained, “Rum County is at war and suffering from famine, many refugees have co. We only lose a bit of money, but if we don’t help them, many people might starve to death. Besides, it’s not really a loss. If they’re willing to work, the Comrce Guild’s new factory won’t worry about workers, and once production increases, Quality and costs will continue to decrease, which is great for our future developnt…”
Her kindness made her willing to give up so money, even if it ant no return at all.
Furthermore, she had seen many business opportunities that others had not.
She was convinced it was all worth it.
Unable to comprehend so of the terms, the fat lady could only reply, “Oh, where did you learn all these weird nas? Auntie has been running the Comrce Guild for decades; I have more experience than you. Look, stop fussing around. The Comrce Guild is already doing fine, if you keep this up, you might stir up trouble…”
“…”
The girl listened but didn’t agree, and though she dared not retort, she thought to herself, “The adults’ experience really falls far short of Mr. Sunny’s…”
The more she interacted with these old fossils, the more she realized the prowess of her pen pal.
They really didn’t belong to the sa era of thinking.
Humph, old fossils!
Ultimately, she didn’t want to listen to her aunt’s drivel. After a while, the young girl suddenly found an excuse and said hurriedly, “Oh, I almost forgot! The factory is recruiting today, and there’s an important arrangent I need to check on! Auntie, I can’t entertain you anymore. Please rest up in the apartnt, I apologize.”
With that, the girl’s face revealed a mischievous smile, and she then darted out the door.
The chubby woman found the situation boring and felt relieved.
Having not found any “outsiders,” she left the room at ease.
…
The young girl stepped out of the room and suddenly felt happy.
She led a few guards down from Machinery City and arrived in the town.
In the past, she would personally distribute food to the refugees on the days the Comrce Guild handed out bread.
But later, when the crowds grew too large and the Chamber of Comrce Manager worried about safety, she visited less often.
Now, her appearance imdiately caused a huge sensation.
“Look, Miss Williams is out!”
“Wow… she is truly as beautiful as an angel.”
“Oh, is this the president of the Rose Chamber of Comrce? Oh, praise the kind and beautiful angel.”
“…”
The mont the young girl appeared, all the refugees’ gazes turned towards her.
Each one instinctively placed a hand on their chest, making a respectful bow.
This was a sign of their heartfelt admiration and affection.
The girl looked at the crowd and, holding her skirt, returned a curtsy like a proper lady.
This made the refugees feel flattered and overwheld.
In other places, noble girls wouldn’t dream of returning a bow to commoners.
In the crowd, Leonard Churchill naturally noticed the young lady in the blue dress first thing.
He had seen many uniquely beautiful won, such as the cold and stunning Camilla, the proud and pretty Catherine Carter, the charming Sophia Jones… even Seven Brown and Tracy Garcia were extrely lovely.
So Leonard Churchill, looking at the blue-dressed young lady from the Rose Chamber of Comrce, wasn’t imdiately dazzled by her beauty.
Yet the more he looked, the more he felt an inexplicable attraction to her special temperant.
Her features were delicate, her black hair cascaded like a waterfall, and her eyes, light and elegant, twinkled like stars.
The blue princess dress also accentuated the young girl’s charming figure.
There she stood, quiet and peaceful, as if surrounded by a filter, her entire being emanating a kind and pure human glow.
Leonard Churchill didn’t judge people by their looks, but by their souls.
This was the first ti he had encountered a girl whose eyes were as pure as the starry sumr night.
Even Pigeon, at her young age, seed to understand and marveled, “That lady is so beautiful…”
Leonard Churchill listened, feeling a sense of realization.
Although it was their first eting, he always felt as though she was familiar and murmured, “What’s her na?”
Pigeon thought for a mont, uncertain, “It seems… seems to be, Vera… Vera Williams?”
