When Keira’s mobile phone rang, Lewis was slightly taken aback.
He turned to look at Keira.
“Need Iron” was her?
Keira answered the phone, “Hello.”
But Lewis heard no sound in the receiver. He looked at his phone and found out that the line was busy. The voice call didn’t get through.
He was overthinking it.
At that moment, several people in the lobby were on the phone, it was impossible to tell which one was her.
Just then, “Need Iron” sent a message. “Sorry, I’m in the middle of something. Let’s reschedule again.”
At the rooftop.
Keira was answering Samuel’s phone call while texting “Grandson”.
Samuel gloated, “Boss, are you all right? It’s been many years since you last did repair work, right?”
Keira said lightly, “If you are free, help me find out Lewis’s private number, so I don’t have to stalk him over and over again.”
If she could get his number, she could call him every hour to remind him to check with the Civil Affairs Bureau. With so many phone calls, even if he didn’t believe this absurd thing, he would check it out.
Samuel immediately complained, “How is it possible to find his private number? Don’t you know that there is no information about him online? It took a lot of effort to find out his personal schedule…”
“That’s because you’re useless.”
Keira hung up and saw Tom showing a contemptuous look. “Miss Olsen, my boss’s private phone number is confidential. Ordinary people can’t get it.”
Keira teased him. “Do you believe that one day, not only will I have your boss’s phone number but also his WhatsApp?”
Divorce procedures were a bit troublesome, and she would definitely be in contact more often with Lewis in the future.
Tom snickered, “What a daydream!”
As soon as Tom finished speaking, Keira’s phone rang. “Grandson” sent a WhatsApp message. “Call me anytime when you’re free.”

Ten minutes later, Keira fixed the air conditioner.
She clapped her hands together. “The air conditioner’s filter has been used for too long and accumulated dirt, which affected the cooling function. It’s fine after I replaced it.”
Seeing how swiftly and easily she solved the problem, Tom didn’t feel so hostile toward her anymore.
To avoid her going after Mr. Horton again, Tom personally escorted her downstairs.
At the entrance, he said meaningfully, “Miss Olsen, from now on there will be no signed delivery, and no electrical appliances will be damaged on the rooftop.”
Keira knew what he meant, but she just grinned, “Well, see you at noon.”
She turned around and left.
Tom was perplexed.
He didn’t take her words to heart and returned to the rooftop.
At noon, Lewis had a lunch meeting.
He wasn’t fond of socializing, but since he had returned to his home country, he needed to respect Crera’s culture of feasting, even though such occasions weren’t frequent.
Tom accompanied him the entire time.
They came to a private restaurant, and noticing the waiters and waitresses in uniform, Tom suddenly became more vigilant.
Wasn’t waitressing the most common part-time job chosen by students who wanted to work while studying?
He looked around, observing almost all the waiters and waitresses, only after not spotting Keira did he breathe a sigh of relief.
But he quickly found his own actions laughable.
Keira was already a delivery worker and a repair technician. How could she take up another job?
How was it that she scared him like this with her simple words “see you at noon”?
Feeling relaxed, Tom entered the private room just as the food was served, and the head chef came to pay respect.
“Everyone, are you satisfied with today’s meal?”
At the sound of the familiar female voice, Tom went stiff!
He did a double take as if he had seen a ghost and saw Keira standing at the door with a chef’s hat. A soft smile tugged on her lips as she introduced the day’s dishes. Finally, she walked over to Lewis and whispered, “Mr. Horton, you should go check the Civil Affairs Bureau.”
Lewis was speechless.
He clenched his jaw, a hint of consternation crossing his usually calm face.
