When he left, I brought the phone back to m y ear. "Are you still there, Shannon?"
Shannon hummed from the other end of the phone and then asked somewhat disappointedly, "Are you planning to reject my invitation?"
This woman had one hell of an IQ.
I sighed softly and asked, “Didn’t you hear what Jordan and I were talking about?”
"I did."
"Don't you want to take down Jordan, the king of diamonds? You don't have to worry about not having a chance when I’m here." Shannon pondered for a very long time before asking tentatively, "What opportunity are you going to offer me?"
Her IQ was completely hopeless!
I rolled my eyes and said somewhat helplessly, "I'll send you Mr. Fredericks' home address. You cook dinner tonight and I’ll assist you. Don't you think this is a great chance to win his heart?”
Shannon was elated. "Great idea!
"You're my lucky star, Wanda. Send me the address now and I'll go over right away."
I packed my things and left the office after hanging up the phone.
After a quick search for Jordan's car in the carpark, I went in.
I caught a faint smell of smoke in the car and could not stop myself from letting out a cough. I looked at him and asked," Something troubling you?”
He started the car engine and said blandly, "Nope.”
I could tell that he was in a bad mood and did not ask any more questions.
Why was he in a bad mood, though?
After almost half an hour, the car came to the entrance of the villa.
Jordan went straight upstairs to the study after entering the villa.
I went to the kitchen to see what ingredients were left in the fridge and found plenty, so I did not have to go out and buy any.
