When Charlie heard that Charlie had a new client, he did not think much of it. 5
There were a total of two business lines under Claire's company. One of them was renovation design, and the other one was renovation undertaking.
Amongst these two, renovation design was Claire’s main business because she was good at designing. 3
As for renovation undertaking, the role that Claire played was more of that of a supervisor, and she had t o outsource the specific work to a renovation company to get it done.
Now that the renovation design work for Emgrand Group had already been long completed and since the renovation undertaking had already been carried out i n an orderly manner and was already gradually getting on track, a part of Claire and her staffs’ time were free, so they had begun looking for other projects.
After breakfast, the couple left the house together in the car. Charlie drove Claire to the old town. 3
After driving for some distance, Charlie then said to Claire, "Wife, why don't you give me the detailed address? I'll turn on the navigation, and I will also be able to take a look at the road traffic there at the same
time."
Claire spoke up, "I'm not really sure about the specific house number, but I know that the old mansion is near the Catholic Church in the old town. Why don't you drive there first?"
Charlie could not help but feel a little surprised when h e heard this.
This was because the old mansion that he used to live in with his parents when he was a child also happened to be very close to the church in the old town. 3
He could not help but think to himself, 'Could it be that my wife's new client is Sophie's mother, Aunt Dunn?’
As he thought of this, Charlie felt that he seemed to have been overthinking it.
Because of the majority of historical buildings in the old town, demolitions or renovations of many of the old mansions were not allowed. However, there were still a large number of citizens living there. So, Helen could not coincidentally be Claire's client, right? 3
At a certain moment, Charlie also thought about whether he should ask his wife some vague questions about this matter, such as her new client's last name and so forth. However, he quickly gave up on that thought after thinking about it.
