86: Chapter 86: Is it this woman?
“Sir, thank you.” The beautiful young woman looked at Peter Brown with gratitude as they left the police station.
She understood that without him today, she would probably be in serious trouble.
“No problem, it’s my duty.
Thankfully, the gang has been caught; otherwise, there’s no telling how many people they would have swindled,” Peter shook his head.
If he hadn’t gotten involved today, he figured the woman would have followed the route they had set up for her, and there’s no telling what thods they would have used to extort her money.
“I heard you’re called Peter Brown?”
“Yes, my na is Peter Brown.”
“This is my business card.
If you need my help, just give a call.”
As she spoke, the woman took out a business card.
Noticing Peter’s gaze when he accepted the card, the woman said, “I’m no longer with that company.
Just take down the phone number.”
Peter saw a string of English words and couldn’t figure out what they ant.
He simply nodded and said, “Alright, I got it.”
The business card looked high-class, prompting Peter to wonder about the woman’s experience in the company.
However, Peter had his doubts about the woman.
She didn’t seem like the type to run a large company, and he wasn’t sure where Edward Martin found her.
With a casual gesture, he tucked the card into his clothing pocket.
Now Peter knew her na was Phoenix Taylor.
“Peter, if it wasn’t for you today, I would have thought I hit soone.
Do you have ti?
I’d like to treat you to dinner.”
Rembering Edward’s appointnt, Peter quickly replied, “I have another appointnt, maybe another ti.”
“Where do you have to go?
I can give you a ride.” Phoenix was grateful for Peter’s help in standing up to the gang.
She knew it was not easy for him to prove his innocence in the face of their accusations.
After Peter hesitated, Phoenix said, “It’s alright.
I’ll take you there without any trouble.”
Peter told her the address.
Upon hearing the location, Phoenix smiled and said, “That’s on my way.
I have to go there too.”
As he got into Phoenix’s car, Peter jokingly asked, “Your car looks pretty wrecked.
Can it still be driven?”
“No worries.
I’ll drive us there first, then have soone tow it for repairs.”
Phoenix stepped on the accelerator, and the car was off in no ti.
Curious about Peter’s thods, she asked, “How did you get that old man to jump that way?”
Not just her, but many onlookers were also curious about Peter’s approach.
Peter just laughed and said, “It wasn’t much; I just hit his acupoints for laughter and itching.”
“So, you’re a martial arts expert?” Phoenix looked at Peter with beautiful, wide eyes.
“Just a little.”
“Wow, you’re really amazing!”
As they discussed the day’s events, Phoenix felt increasingly fearful.
She said, “Their gang is so powerful that not just anyone could beat them.
You’re really incredible.” As she spoke, gratitude and admiration filled her eyes.
Seeing her look, Peter felt sowhat smug.
It was really nice to be admired by such a beautiful woman.
Just then, Peter’s cell phone rang.
When he answered, he realized it was a call from Edward.
“Peter, what’s going on?
You’re not there yet?”
“Soon, soon.”
Peter didn’t ntion helping Phoenix.
As soon as he hung up, Phoenix’s phone rang.
She answered directly through the car phone without avoiding Peter.
Sitting in the car, Peter unexpectedly heard Edward’s voice.
“Sister, aren’t you there yet?”
Phoenix replied, “I had so minor issues, but I’ll be there soon.
Who is this boss you want to introduce to?
I told you, don’t introduce to any ordinary bosses.
I don’t have that much ti.”
Her tone was quite assertive during the conversation.
“Sister, don’t worry.
The project I ntioned is really good.
At least, check it out first.”
“Fine, I’ll be there soon.
We’ll talk more when we et.”
“Is it her?” Peter glanced at Phoenix, who was driving the car, and wondered if the woman Edward wanted him to et was her.
Seeing Peter’s gaze, Phoenix asked in confusion, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, nothing.”
Peter scratched his head.
“It’s my cousin.
He just returned from abroad, and he’s been pestering !”
“What does Phoenix do?”
“Not much; I was the sales director in an international group specializing in wine.
I’m not working there anymore.
I’ll take a break and see.”
So, she deals with wine?
Now, Peter was 100% sure that Phoenix was the manager Edward wanted to introduce to him.
At that mont, he took a closer look at Phoenix.
She was quite beautiful, and the best part was that she looked to be only around 30 years old, probably around 27 or 28, projecting an air of intelligence and competence.
“My cousin ntioned introducing to a farr entrepreneur, saying he was producing so type of wine.
It’s a bit embarrassing, but since he insisted, I agreed to et.
He was hounding earlier.” Phoenix didn’t hide anything from Peter and told him everything about eting a certain boss.
“Edward Martin is your cousin?” Peter asked directly.
“You?” Phoenix looked at Peter in surprise.
Scratching his head, Peter said awkwardly, “I might be the person Edward wants you to get acquainted with.”
Phoenix looked at Peter in astonishnt.
Almost losing control of the car, she hit the brakes while exclaiming, “You’re the farr entrepreneur Edward was talking about?”
“Ha, Edward was just exaggerating.
I’m just a farr; what entrepreneur?”
Phoenix laughed and said, “Edward made you sound incredible.
What exactly are you planning, Peter?
Even though you helped , if your business is not promising, I won’t get involved.”
“Of course, it has to be satisfactory for both parties.”
“What do you an?
Are you implying I’m not capable?” Phoenix was sensitive and imdiately caught Peter’s aning.
She stared at him intently.
“No, no.
When the ti cos, you can learn more about our situation, especially the wine.
Taste it, and if it’s good, we can discuss further.”
“Alright, originally, I was just going to humor him.
But since it’s your company, I will seriously consider it.”
Peter never expected things to turn out this way.
It seed he and Phoenix were destined.
