Chapter 121 Straightforward Compliment
The next day, Tiffany and Hellen drove to the airport and boarded the plane.
Hellen found her seat to settle down. She was so sleepy because of staying up late.
Tiffany was on her left side. Hellen felt very at ease with Tiffany, so she quickly fell asleep.
After sleeping for several hours, Hellen woke up in a daze, smelling an extremely familiar scent.
A guy’s cold smell with water fragrance swept into her nose, making her feel dizzy and intoxicated for a moment.
Immediately, Hellen became vigilant. She sat up and found a woolen jacket covering her body.
Hellen looked around. Tiffany was still on her left side but on the other side…
She was surprised, “Hans?!”
Hans was reading a document. When he heard Tiffany’s voice, he turned his head and glanced at her.
He glanced at Tiffany’s face and did not miss a single detail. When he saw the dark circles under Tiffany’s eyes, he said in a low voice, “Take a rest for a while. It will take another two hours to reach Luxembourg.”
Hellen stared at him, “why are you here?”
“The renovation of the Weststadt District is official business. The Grant Group and the Jovano Group are partners. Since there was a problem now, it’s common that we two families go solve it.”
Hellen gritted her teeth. No matter what this guy said, she could do nothing but listen.
Now that he was already on the plane, she couldn’t throw him off!
Two hours later, the four of them got off the plane at Luxembourg’s airport. This time, Hans only brought David with him.
Hellen only brought Tiffany along.
When the four of them walked out of the airport, Tiffany sneezed.
Hans, who was following behind, looked at Hellen beside him and asked, “Are you cold?”
Hellen pursed her lips. She knew that Luxembourg was very cold, but she didn’t expect it to be this cold!
Hellen rubbed her hands quietly. Before she could speak, Hans had already taken off his coat and put it on her.
She hesitated but did not refuse him.
Fortunately, someone had come to pick them up at the airport gate, who was contacted by David.
After the four of them got in the car, Hellen turned and asked, “Where are we going now? Have you booked a hotel?”
Hans nodded.
The car started moving quickly. Although the air conditioner was turned on, Hellen still felt that her hands and feet were cold.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
She rubbed her hands and gently blew on them with Hans’s coat covering her.
An hour later, the car stopped on an exotic street. The street was not wide, with two rows of small European-style buildings. When Hellen got out of the car, she stared at the building in front of her and couldn’t speak for a while.
“Didn’t you say you had booked a hotel?”
Hellen looked at Hans.
Hans’s voice was calm, and no one could tell what he was thinking.
“I have a house here. There’s no need to stay at a hotel. It’s not safe.”
Hellen had no other choice. It was too late. And this was the only option. She was simply too cold.
The four of them entered the villa. Hellen tidied it up and checked the route on the Internet.
The Vincent Family’s castle was also in the capital city of Luxembourg, but it was a two or three hours’ drive from here. And it was too late today.
It was impolite to visit others at night, so Hellen decided to visit Lambert Thompson tomorrow morning.
Hellen stayed in her room for a while, when David knocked on her door and said, “Miss Jovano, dinner is almost ready.”
Now that she was living in someone else’s house, Hellen became quite polite and courteous. She responded to him and went downstairs soon.
When she got downstairs, she saw two maids in the living room. Both of them looked like local people in Luxembourg, but they spoke fluent Chinese.
“Miss Jovano, Mr. Grant specially asked us to prepare this soup for you. Pregnant women can also eat it.”
The two women were full of curiosity about Tiffany’s belly as if they were treating her as Hans’s wife.
They didn’t ask anything about it, so Hellen didn’t get any chance to explain it. She just said thanks and took a sip of the soup.
After the hot soup entered her stomach, Hellen felt a lot better.
After a while, Hans came out of the room from one side and nodded when he saw Hellen. “Are you feeling better?”
Hellen held the bowl and said, “Thank you.”
Hans sat across from her, his eyes full of concern. “Do you want me to call a doctor? You may have caught a cold in the afternoon.”
Hellen shook her head and said with a smile, “I’m fine. My body is very strong.”
After all, she had practiced martial arts, so her body was much healthier than that of ordinary people.
When David and Tiffany returned with daily necessities, the four of them went to the restaurant.
At the dining table, Hellen told Hans about their plans for the next morning.
“We’ll leave at eight tomorrow morning and go to Vincent’s house at ten. Even if we wait for half an hour, we’ll be able to see Lambert Thompson at 10:30. At that time, we’ll first talk about something else. Let’s have lunch together at noon and see if he will make any requests. We’ll try our best to agree to whatever he wants.”
Hellen said a lot, “According to my investigation, Mr. Thompson has no interest in wealth. We can only see if he has any obsessions or desires tomorrow.”
Hans cut the steak on the plate and glanced up at Hellen from time to time.
When she was working, her eyes were always shining.
Moreover, she was very smart. She knew how to take advantage of a person’s weakness and know more about the tactics of the business world.
Halfway through her sentence, Hellen also noticed that Hans was staring at him.
She narrowed her eyes and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Hans chuckled softly and said in a slightly hoarse voice, “It’s nothing. I just feel that you are very charming when you are at work.”
Such a straightforward compliment almost made Hellen choke, and she glared at Hans.
Hellen was grateful to Hans for taking good care of her, so she kindly reminded him, “Hans, we don’t have any relationship now. I am okay that we are business partners or ordinary friends, but I hope you won’t overstep the boundaries of our relationship.”
Hans’s eyes flickered. After a long while, he said, “Okay.”
After dinner, the four went back to their rooms to sleep.
As soon as Hellen returned to her room, she felt her head heavy. When she left the airport during the day, cold wind blew to her head before he had even gotten in the car. Now, her head was starting to hurt.
The next day, at nine in the morning.
Hellen heard someone calling her name. She frowned and opened her sleepy eyes. She saw Hans’s nervous face with anxiety in his eyes.
