Chapter 795
Frederick met up with his friend at the club of Maison Hotel. They sat and chatted for a while. Since he drove there, he didn't take any alcohol but ordered a glass of iced lemon water instead.
"What have you been doing? Why did you decide to do this so suddenly? I didn't even have time to get you gifts," Frederick punched him lightly and then raised his glass to toast with his.
He won't be back for at least half a year!
"I was careless with the timing, or else I would have invited others! And isn't that a gift? I accept your kindness!" His friend said.
Glancing at the small box next to Frederick, the man reached out and casually opened it. "Pfft, I thought it was something nice." "It's just a box of blueberries!"
He grabbed one, wiped it, and threw it into his mouth.
"Hey..."
Frederick glanced at him and said with a look of disdain, "It's not for you! You should wash it before eating." "Well, it doesn't really matter to me!" The man threw his arm around Frederick's neck and chuckled, "Don't be so stingy. I just had two! This gift is petty. It's not worthwhile and I don't like it! So, this doesn't count! I'm going abroad, so why don't you prepare a big gift for me?"
Pushing him away, Frederick sent him a glare.
"You're just chasing after a woman, so how can you so shamelessly say this? I'll give you a huge wedding gift when you marry the eldest daughter of the Lawson family!" Frederick said.
He had bought the blueberry for his wife; how could this man take it without asking him first!
After sipping on some water, Frederick shook his head. He didn't know why he brought the blueberries with him.
After sitting for a while, Frederick worried that he might miss his flight, so he urged him to leave early,
"Well, let's get together again in the future! Don't miss your flight! Be safe! And why didn't you bring my files when you asked me to come? You must have been thinking of the woman, right?" Frederick teased.
Scratching his head, the man laughed.
"I may have left it when I was in a hurry! I'll send it to you another day. Hey, Frederick, the new energy resources there are promising! I think they're worth investing in! You really have good insight. However, it's hard to choose between these two companies, both of them are great!"
"I know! I'll look through the documents and well discuss this later!" Frederick said.
They talked it over a little more on their way out. At this time, the driver had already moved his luggage into the car.
"Well, it's not urgent," Frederick paused and said, "Catching the flight on time is your priority!"
Frederick suddenly thought of something, and tugged at him and said, "Hey, isn't your itinerary a little strange? Why did you stay here when you were going to board a plane?"
Something was not quite right!
"Don't even talk about it! Do you think I wanted to come? I planned to leave after gathering with you all, but something came up. Leanne's cousin came over to play and I was asked to fetch her. It turned out that she had a bad sense of direction and it took me half a day to get around. This is the hotel she lives in... if I hadn't been in a hurry, how would I have left the documents?" The man explained.
Upon hearing that, Frederick understood immediately that he came here specially for his sweetheart's cousin. No wonder he would come here even though he had a flight to catch.
"Alright, off you go! Don't forget your passport!" Frederick reminded him.
After sending his good friend away, Frederick was about to walk to his car when he inadvertently saw the big, red words on the decorative rocky mountain, "North Hill Hotel".
With a closer look, Frederick suddenly realized that the Maison Hotel was located near the foot of Oregon North Hills. The back door was right across the new door of North Hill Hotel.
When did this street become so prosperous? There was even a gate at the front yard of North Hills.
It seemed like a lot of things were new here. Renovations must have been recent. When opening the front door, one could even get a bit of the festivity sense. It was magnificent and majestic! There were gardens in front of the hotel, and even the name was carved on a huge rocky mountain. The design of the place was unique, and many luxury cars were parked in the small courtyard in front of the door.
He had not been here for a long time! The changes were astounding!
His gaze fell to one side, and Frederick suddenly thought of the jasmine flowers!
Since he was already at the entrance, it was just a street away. Should he go there and have a look?
Frederick stopped at that instant. HeNôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
didn't go over, but he also didn't turn around and leave. At that moment he did think of going - not because of other reasons, but because the few words like "the promise of life and death" and "for the last time" struck a chord in him.
Although at this moment, he couldn't tell how he felt about her; they were old friends after all. If she was really going to die...
"Forget it! It's better not to cause any more problems!" Frederick murmured. Since he couldn't even tell how true this was! Even if it was true, he couldn't afford to give her hope or cause a misunderstanding!
When he was about to go back, his cell phone suddenly rang. He answered, "It's me! Speak!"
It was Chet who called. He informed him of some happenings. Frederick asked, "That toy boy is finally back? Do we really look alike?"
With everything cleared up and Alicia back, the toy boy, who looked somewhat similar to him, seemed to be useless at the moment!
"70%?"
Chet told him that due to the distance, light source and deliberateness involved, it was no wonder that Alicia had been mistaken!
After thinking for a moment, Frederick said, "Don't startle him for the time being! He may be useful in the future! But..."
Since he had a chance at taking advantage of the situation, he might also be a threat!
Frederick snapped his finger. "Teach him a lesson, so that he knows that not everyone can be imitated! Also, I want intel about him that would make him listen to us!"
"That'll be easy! This kind of toy boy will succumb to any benefit flashed at him! And I also saw him doing drugs! As long as you have his Achilles' heel, he won't dare to refuse your demands!" Chet said.
Upon hearing this, Frederick nodded his head in satisfaction.
"Well, just get it done then! As long as we're able to locate this guy at any time! As for the Blooming Flora, don't act rashly, so we don't alert them want to keep this pawn it still has great use! As for how we're going to use it, I haven't thought about it yet!"
Alicia had driven all the way here with the help of her car's navigation system. As she reached near the hotel, she saw him talking on the phone on
the roadside. When she saw the sign of "North Hills", a look of bewilderment flashed across her face.
"Haha, okay! I got it. See you around! I won't forget you!" Frederick said.
As she approached, she heard the "affectionate" words Frederick had said. At that instant, Alicia felt a little angry.
Was he deciding on a meeting venue with someone?
Frederick hung up his phone and turned around. When he spotted a familiar pair of eyes in the distance, he was startled. "A... Ally? What are you doing here?"
Frederick blinked his eyes in disbelief.
