Coincidentally, Scarlett and Chris ran into Abraham as soon as they got out of the elevator.
Abraham had not given up for the past six months and had asked Mr. Maddox to serve as an undercover agent to spy on Scarlett two days ago when preparing for his big conspiracy.
He had always thought Raymond had died, so when he heard that Raymond was still alive, he refused to believe it. And he came down to verify it as soon as he had gotten the news.
When Abraham saw Raymond, he was taken aback.
But he was an old wry fox, so he regained his calmness quickly, walked up to Chris with a smile, and said, "Mr. Shaw, 1 haven't seen you for more than half a year, and I thought you had an accident. I'm glad to see you back."
Chris glanced at Scarlett and then said, " Really? I thought you would feel distressed to see me back."
When Abraham heard Chris's words, the smile on his face froze, and then he laughed, "Mr. Shaw, you’re joking with me again! After you left, Ms. Reed has worked very hard for Tenton and has lost a lot of weight for the past half a year."
Hearing him mentioning herself, Scarlett couldn't help but say, "Mr. Maston, thanks for your praise, but my figure hasn’t changed much recently, and my weight is still the same as before."
Both of them had slapped Abraham in the face. Scarlett's words had made him very embarrassed, so he forced a smile and said, "Really? I'm old, and my memory is not good. Ms. Reed, you look haggard, so I thought you got thinner! Are you going out? I won't bother you anymore. See you around, Mr. Shaw!"
Then, Abraham turned around and left.
Scarlett looked at Abraham's fat back and narrowed her eyes.
After two seconds, she retracted her gaze, looked at Chris, and asked, "How did you know who he is?"
Hearing this, Chris confessed, "I investigated Teuton before I came."
Scarlett clicked her tongue and asked, "It is me that you investigated, right?"
Chris looked down at her and said, "Are you angry with me?”
"Why? You will know everything about me after your memory recovers. You lost your memory now, so it is reasonable for you to investigate me."
Looking into her bright pretty eyes, Chris had a very strange feeling.
This was the first time he had had such a feeling since he had woken up in the hospital more than three months ago.
He was not sure but he subconsciously thought it was love.
