Henry's expression tightened and he shouted when the car rode off, "Yvonne Frey!”
However, all he heard was the car honk.
"Your husband is calling out to you again." Elliot's mouth couldn't help but twitch when he looked at the man slowly disappearing from his rearview mirror as he drove.
Yvonne craned her neck to look for Henry after Elliot said that, but she was too late. There was nothing in the rearview mirror except for an empty road.
"Did he really call out to me just now?" She was a little suspicious.
Elliot nodded. "Yes, I saw him. Do you want to go back t o him?"
"Ho." Yvonne retracted her neck and shook her head gently.
Elliot shot a quick glance at her. "What's wrong? It feels like you've suddenly lost interest in Mr.
Lancaster. Did something happen?"
"Nothing." Yvonne turned her head to the window next to her, staring at the scenery outside in a daze.
Elliot twitched his eyelids. "Really? But you don’t look good now. Look at how thin you are."
Yvonne did not answer.
Elliot sighed, "Fine. Pretend that I've said nothing.”
"Sorry, I didn't mean to ignore you, but there are things that I don't want to talk about,” Yvonne apologized.
Elliot snorted, "Your apology is too insincere.”
"What do you want then?" Yvonne turned and looked a t him.
Elliot rolled his eyes. "Have lunch with me later."
"Lunch?"
"Yes, I'm meeting a client in a while and my assistant i s on leave today. So you will act as my assistant to help me out with some documents," Elliot said.
Yvonne pondered for a few seconds. "But I haven’t worked as an assistant before."
It would make more sense to her if it was a secretary job, but how was she going to do well as an assistant?
Elliot winked at her as he said, "That's alright. There are several kinds of assistants. The personal assistant is the easiest and that's what you will be role-playing a s."
Yvonne thought for a while. "Okay then. I'll try it out. Consider this as me returning your favor for giving me a ride." "You’re really calculative." Elliot shook his head dully.
Yvonne slightly smiled. Her gloomy mood grew slightly better. "By the way, Mr. Taylor. I haven't asked you this, but why were you outside the villa just now?"
"Because I bought a house in the area," Elliot replied.
Yvonne was surprised. "Bought a house? There are no villas for sale in this area."
"As long as you have money, you can buy any house," Elliot proudly smiled.
The corners of Yvonne's mouth twitched, "Of course. Rich people are really willful. When did you buy it?"
"I bought it a long time ago and it's been empty. I didn’t move in until yesterday. Then, I happened to bump into you right when I was heading out to meet a client," Elliot explained.
Yvonne nodded slightly. "I see. I was still wondering why I hadn't seen you in that area before."
"We will see each other often in the future. The villa I bought is not too far from yours,” Elliot said with a smile.
The smile on Yvonne gradually disappeared, "I'm afraid we might not see each other in the future."
"What do you mean?" Elliot asked while his smile faded.
Yvonne licked her dry lips. "It’s nothing. There’s a printing shop ahead of us. Mr. Taylor, please stop the car so that I can settle something."
"What are you going to do at a printing shop?” Elliot was very curious.
Yvonne didn’t answer, but she got out of the car and walked right into the shop.
Elliot speculated for a while, then followed her.
Yvonne heard his footsteps from the back. She didn't cast him away and let him be.
Upon entering the printing shop, Yvonne took out a USB flash drive from her bag and handed it to the clerk, "Please print the documents in the flash drive for me."
"Sure.” The clerk took the flash drive and sat behind the computer.
