“This is their owner's contact number. I heard she's just a student.” The assistant handed a contact to Aaron.
Alas, Aaron wasn't in the mood to buy the restaurant now. He didn't even spare the contact a glance as he ordered, “Pay the bill. I need to leave.”
His assistant grunted in acknowledgment and ran off to pay for the meal.
In the library archive.
Arielle was engrossed in reading the files when her phone began ringing.
It was a call from Maureen's Kitchen's manager, so she answered it. “What's wrong?
“A foreigner stopped by today and asked to acquire our restaurant. I rejected their offer, but they kept increasing the price until it reached ten million. Since I don't call the shots, I gave them your contact.”
“Mm, got it. If they contact me, I'll deal with them.” “Okay.”
After the call ended, Arielle fell into deep thought.
I should register Maureen's Kitchen as a trademark when I'm free. After that, I'll make Maureen's Kitchen a global franchise business.
Right after the manager hung up, Vinson's call arrived.
Arielle connected the call and inquired, “Did you find Cindy?”
“No, sorry.” Vinson paused before adding, “But I've set roadblocks at all the exit routes of Jadeborough. I'm sure I can find Cindy as long as she doesn't turn into a butterfly and fly out of the city.”
Sighing, Arielle answered, “Got it. Thanks for your effort.”
“It was my men's fault, so the responsibility is mine. What about you?
Rayson told me you went back to campus. Classes should've ended by now. So why are you still there?”
“I'm in the archive right now looking for the man in the photo.” Arielle glanced at her phone screen and realized it was already past seven in the evening.
“You can continue your search tomorrow. Come, let's have dinner together.” Vinson extended an invitation.
“Where are you?”
