"What are you doing, sneaking around like a thief? Who are you hiding from?"
Leia Quinn followed Elara Don’s gaze and asked curiously.
"A colleague."
And a suspicious colleague at that.
No wonder Elena Soo appeared on the surveillance footage last ti.
Maybe she’s stealing data?
But she told she just wanted to learn more privately.
Elara Don pursed her lips, thought for a mont, and found Craig Landers’s phone number.
She dialed it and said directly, "Mr. Landers, can you do a favor?"
She didn’t want to wrongly accuse anyone.
Elena Soo was working part-ti at Craig Landers’s club.
She wanted Craig Landers to help her investigate Elena Soo’s background.
She wanted to know Elena Soo’s true background and why she was eting with lody Lane.
She even suspected her of being a corporate spy.
Craig Landers was quite surprised to receive her call.
After hearing Elara Don’s request, he was amused.
Elara Don actually sought his help!
And it’s work-related!
If soone finds out, they’ll definitely be jealous!
"Where are you now? It sounds a bit noisy."
"I’m having coffee with Kiki."
Elara Don answered honestly.
"Got it, I’ll look into Elena Soo for you soon."
After hanging up the call, Craig Landers dialed Damon Hawke’s number.
"Tom, your future wife asked for a favor."
"Asked you for a favor? What kind of favor?"
Damon Hawke happened to be patrolling a store in the mall.
Upon hearing Craig Landers’s words, he paused in his tracks, furrowing his brow.
"She wants to check Elena Soo’s background."
Elara Don wants Craig Landers to investigate Elena Soo’s background?
Damon Hawke’s eyes flickered, lost in thought.
"Where is she now?"
Elara Don wouldn’t investigate Elena Soo for no reason.
Sothing must have happened.
"She’s having coffee with Leia Quinn at a café."
Craig Landers ntioned the café’s na, "Aren’t I smart? I’ve already scouted for you. Geez, having a friend like is a blessing you’ve earned in a past life."
Egotistical maniac.
Damon Hawke chuckled lightly, "Aren’t you trying to woo Leia Quinn? What are you waiting for then?"
"Hmm? You want to take Leia Quinn away? You’re thinking..."
"Quit babbling, get to the café within half an hour."
He’s currently at the mall’s upstairs level where the café is located.
Later, he’ll disguise himself and go on a date with his girlfriend.
Half an hour later.
"Darn it, do you know how far I live? Raced here all the way, cops chased the whole ti! Why did I end up with such a troubleso friend like you?"
Craig Landers complained to the disguised Damon Hawke.
Damon Hawke glanced at him, "Didn’t you announce you’d chase Leia Quinn swiftly? I’m giving you an opportunity."
"Tom, be honest, are you intentionally ssing with ?"
"What do you think?"
"Seriously, are you still jealous because of the dia’s nonsense? You hormone-imbalanced old man."
"You can shut your mouth now."
"..."
They exchanged playful banter.
Until they saw Elara Don and Leia Quinn coming out of the café, Craig Landers and Damon Hawke instantly imrsed themselves in their roles.
"Hello, ladies, what a coincidence! eting so soon."
Craig Landers greeted them with a smile.
Elara Don blinked, chuckled, and glanced at Leia Quinn.
As soon as he heard they were having coffee, he rushed over so quickly!
Looks like Craig Landers really wants to pursue my best friend!
"Mr. Landers, about the favor I asked over the phone..."
Elara Don shifted to a serious tone, asking about important matters first.
"Rest assured, rest assured, I’ve already ordered my team to start working on it, you’ll have results soon."
Craig Landers paused, "And as for her mother, I’ve also spoken to the hospital, finding a reason to help reduce so of her dical expenses."
Turns out he hadn’t forgotten about it, and instead had already started taking action.
Hmm, for now, he seems like quite a reliable man.
Elara Don ntally added more points for Craig Landers.
"Thank you, Mr. Landers."
"No need to be formal with ."
Craig Landers waved his hand, tossing a flirtatious glance at Leia Quinn, "Who asked you to be Cindy’s best friend?"
So, he’s helping because he wants to pursue Leia Quinn.
Elara Don glanced at Leia Quinn, eyes full of amusent.
Leia Quinn frowned, looking at Craig Landers, quite unwilling to beco soone’s target.
"Mr. Landers, thank you for speaking up online to defend Elly. Let’s not pretend in private, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Craig Landers stepped forward, reaching out to grab Leia Quinn’s hand and pressed it against his chest.
"Cindy, what I said is real, feel for yourself, my heart beats only for you."
With a low and charming tone, the man’s beautiful eyes sparkled with stars.
If any other man said this, it would probably sound greasy and flirtatious.
But Craig Landers is just too good-looking, so when he says this, there’s not the slightest sense of sleaziness, but rather a deep sincerity.
Leia Quinn’s heart skipped a beat inexplicably.
She shook off Craig Landers’s hand, her tone a bit unnatural.
"Mr. Landers, please behave."
Annoying man, why is he fixated on her?
Can’t he find another woman to flirt with?
Seeing Leia Quinn’s evasive gaze, Craig Landers chuckled softly, feeling quite smug internally.
He believed in his charm, hardly any woman could resist him.
"Alright, Elly, may I borrow your best friend for a mont? I have sothing to ask her privately."
What does he want to ask her privately?
Leia Quinn furrowed her brow, "Whatever you want to ask, you can ask now. Elly and I still want to go shopping."
"I’ll accompany you shopping!"
Craig Landers flashed a mischievous smile, "As for Elly, let her boyfriend join her for shopping."
This...
Leia Quinn glanced at Damon Hawke, standing quietly aside, recalling he was Bea’s biological father, she didn’t refuse further.
Craig Landers, turns out, is quite thoughtful of his subordinates.
Knowing to provide convenient conditions for his staff’s lifelong affairs.
"Elly, then we’ll go first."
Craig Landers pulled Leia Quinn along, pushing Damon Hawke toward Elara Don, "I’m lending you Tom, hope you both have a fun day, don’t ntion it."
Elara Don was pulled into Damon Hawke’s arms, watching Leia Quinn being awkwardly taken away, couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Damon Hawke glanced sideways at her, "Why are you laughing?"
"Laughing at those two, it’s a little amusing."
My best friend seems to be thrown into the situation!
I feel sowhat guilty for so reason!
Almost feels like my best friend is being chased by Craig Landers because of .
"Alright, forget those two, do you still want to continue shopping?"
Damon Hawke looked at Elara Don’s delicate profile, a corner of his mouth lifted.
Being an ordinary person isn’t so bad.
Being free, uninhibited, with the woman I love.
"Don’t want to shop anymore."
Elara Don thought for a mont and shook her head.
"Then shall we go to the movies?"
Going to the movies together should be a must for couples, right?
"Okay."
