Chapter 94: Eavesdropping
Soon, the plane arrived at the Silias Airport in Cherry City.
The black-haired little boy, Andrew, was brought by his mother to study in Cherry City. When he parted ways with Suzanne, he asked for her number and waved goodbye to her reluctantly, “Goodbye.”
Suzanne waved at him with a faint smile on her face, “Okay, goodbye.”
Carrying the things, Edwiin took Suzanne off the plane. Soon, the people who came to pick them up showed up.
Cherry City was a central city and the top first-tier cities. No city could be compared to it.
The best brands from all over the world were gathered here. There were famous stars and A-list entertainment groups in the country.
Suzanne had been to Cherry City several times. Every time she came, she was impressed by its prosperity.
There was so much to do here that you wouldn’t be able to see all of Cherry City in a whole month.
Stepping onto this piece of land again and smelling the fresh air, Suzanne still felt so nostalgic and longing in her heart.
It was not that she didn’t want to work in Cherry City, a prosperous city, but she didn’t like living alone. If there was a chance, she would bring Nancy here and live here with her.
The headquarters of the Morrison family’s enterprise was not here, but there were also many properties of them here.
International brand Voice Group’s branch, domestic A-list media TCN’s headquarter, and HT Securities, one of the top ten securities companies in the country were located in this city. The industries that Edwiin controlled almost all took root and developed here, firmly occupying a place in Cherry City.
During the great recession a few years ago, home prices in all cities plummeted.
It was also at that time that Edwiin decisively bought two properties in Cherry City, both of which were located in a prosperous area. Now that the market value of the two properties was dozens of times higher than before, it was more than enough to buy a large company.
Suzanne had marveled more than once that Edwiin was a business genius.
Among the rich second generation, few could be as good as Edwiin. He surpassed his father and grandfather. He earned more money than they made together. He was even famous abroad.
Soon, the car arrived at Edwiin’s residence in Silias District.
It was a retro three-story villa with an elegant style close to Pasqualey. It occupied a large area and was surrounded by a park. It would take nearly ten minutes to get to the gate outside from the inside of the villa.
Looking at the villa, Suzanne couldn’t help feeling surprised.
When the family first came to Cherry City to have fun, they all lived in that villa in Nageria District. She had thought that the villa was luxurious enough, but she had not expected that Edwiin would buy a more luxurious villa in Silias District.
The servants received the instructions in the morning and rushed over in the afternoon to clean up. Everything in the villa was kept neat.
Suzanne followed Edwiin out of the car. Soon, several servants came up to help them fetch the things and led them into the building.
The three or four servants around her lowered their heads and did not say a word. This kind of considerate service made Suzanne a little uncomfortable. She handed the coat in her hand to one of them uneasily.
After entering the house and seeing that someone was squatting down to help her change her shoes, Suzanne almost jumped up in fright. She took a few steps back and bumped into Edwiin’s chest, “No, I can change it myself.”
Edwiin helped Suzanne steady and said indifferently to the servants, “Let’s do it ourselves.”
Seeing that the servants had left, Suzanne heaved a sigh of relief.
The table was already set with exquisite dishes. After Edwiin and Suzanne sat down, the chef served the soup. When the lid of the bowl was removed, a strong aroma wafted out, which made people feel hungry.
Suzanne took small sips of the soup. In an instant, her stomach felt warm.
She put some green vegetables into her bowl and whispered, “Edwiin, we’re only staying here for two days. You don’t need to prepare so much. Just you and I would eat here, a servant and a cook are enough.”Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
“The villa is too big. I’m afraid that when I’m not here, you’ll be afraid,” Edwiin said flatly without even raising his head, “You said it’s just two days. It doesn’t matter if it’s a little luxurious.”
What he said seemed to make sense.
Suzanne bent her face over her plate without another word.
There was a well-equipped swimming pool behind the building and it had been cleaned up today and the water was changed.
Suzanne was a little excited when she saw the swimming pool in the room upstairs. She took the swimsuit and sneaked downstairs.
She wrapped her feet in plastic bags, put on her swimming cap and goggles, tested the water temperature with her hands, and then carefully entered the pool, swimming happily.
A bodyguard in black stood beside her, with his hands behind his back and a cold face. He looked extremely cool.
After four or five laps in the pool, Suzanne felt tired. She rested by the pool and moved the goggles to her swim cap. The water droplets dripping from her forehead slid down to her trembling eyelashes and soaked them.
Blushing, she tilted her head to look at the bodyguard and said with a smile, “I’ve seen someone who looks quite like you.”
“Myron Follette’s bodyguard is my younger brother,” he replied.
Suzanne let out an “oh” sound. So, these two were brothers!
She asked with interest, “Why haven’t I seen you before? Have you been in Cherry City all the time?”
The bodyguard straightened his back and replied politely, “No, I was just transferred back from Vena not long ago.”
“Why is there no emotion in your voice either!” Suzanne muttered with dissatisfaction, “Just like your boss. You don’t know how to chat at all. Boring.”
Edwiin leaned against the balcony and listened for a long time. Hearing Suzanne’s words, he smiled. “Come on, let’s talk.”
Suzanne was startled. She looked up abruptly and saw Edwiin’s deep eyes.
How long had he been listening? Could it be that he had heard everything?
Thinking that her conversation with the bodyguard had all fallen on Edwiin’s ears, Suzanne felt a little awkward. She quickly came out of the pool, draped a bath towel over her shoulders, and went upstairs to take a shower.
She didn’t know that Edwiin was living next to her. The layout of the two rooms was not much different. Even his bathroom was just a wall away from hers. By pressing her ear to the bathroom wall, she could hear the noise in the next bathroom.
The man who was leaning against the balcony stood there silently for a long time. His eyes kept wandering back and forth in Suzanne’s bathroom. His heart felt as if it was scratched by a cat, and it was particularly itchy. He pursed his lips and quickly walked toward his bathroom.
At this moment, this arrogant man had the thought of peeping on Suzanne, who was taking a shower.
