Chapter 116 Deciding to Have the Chill
As we chatted, I reached the door of the private room. “Alright, I’m here to discuss work with my colleague. Thanks for your help.“”
“Go ahead.” han let go of my arm.
I opened the door and entered. Linda, sitting opposite the door, glanced over, and her expression suddenly changed.
I instinctively looked back van was staring at Linda with an indescribable look.
Did they know each other?t immediately grew suspicious,
From the looks of it, they not only knew each other but had an unpleasant history.
I let go, closing the door and cutting off their view of each other.
from then on, I noticed that Linda was absent–minded. I handled most of the detailed discussions. Due to some disagreements between both parties, we didn’t sign the contract after dinner.
“Ms. Sadler, Linda, let’s discuss it further when we go back. I believe our companies are very compatible and sincere. Hopefully, we can overcome these minor issues together!” Brent said before leaving.
“Alright. Thank you for your hospitality tonight, Mr. McCoy!” I replied.
After parting ways, Linda and I returned to the hotel to rest. On the way back, she seemed preoccupied, I felt like she wanted to ask me something but was holding back.
Finally, after we returned to the hotel room and I finished showering, Linda asked me, “Ivory, do you know Ivan?”
“Yes, why? Do you know him too?” I sat down and asked in return.
“Are you close? Linda asked again.
“We’re just ordinary trends.” I wondered if Linds and Iven had been in a relationship before,
But I thought that Ivan had never had a girlfriend. Even Sophie, whom he had a crush on, ended up with Rowan. Seeing Linda’s gloomy face, I felt uneasy. “Linda, why do you ask? Is there something between you and him?”

Linda looked at me for a few seconds, then squeezed out a smile, “No, It’s nothing
thought it was a coincidence. I used to know him too, but not well.”
Ididn’t probe further and simply responded with a smile, “Yes, it’s such a small world. Those who are label will always meet.“
Lindastecedor awhile before getting up to take shower.
Ilyen my bed, holding myphone. I wanted to ank van about it but then felt there was no
So, I contacted Chocles to report on some of the tees from the cooperation talk earlier. After some discussion, Thad achter kea of the situation.
Justas Eww about to fall asleep, Linda came out from her shower and quietly lay down on the bed beside me.
The next morning, I woke up hungry. The hotel offered breakfast, so I quickly got up and went to the restaurant on the second floor.
Unexpectedly, Ivan was also there. He was sitting with a man in his fifties or sixties with a praying beard, Thely a prodessor from his hospital.
Iran was eating a sandwich when he spotted nie, his gaze followed.
On my table were four eggs, a glass of milk, pancakes, two sandwiches, wailles, and a bowl of oatmeal
He seemed a bit surprised. He said something to his professor, then walked over and sat across fromme.
“Why are you eating so much?” asked as he looked at the breakfast spread
“I want to try everything” tsaid while peeling
At just over two months pregnant, I’was as hungry as a wolf. Staybel was carrying a little foodie in my belly?
İvan took an egg and peeled it for me. Soon, two round, white epes were placed on my plate.
Late the eggs and slurped on the oatmeal, occasionally taking a hite of the pancakes. At the same time, I was craving something salty and spicy pondered where to go for lunchto satisfy my cravings.
“What’s your colleague’s name?” Ivan’s question interrupted my meal.
Tlooked at him and replied, “Linda”
Ivan frowned. “Where’s she from?”
“same as me,” I answered “She has a long–term residence visa and just works over there.”
“What’s her ball name?” Tran was very curious about Linda’s identite
twas sure that the relationship between the two of them was more than just acquaintances.
Ibit into a sandwich, answering nonchalantly, “I don’t know. I haven’t been in this company long Everyone at work calls her Linda and never asks her full name”
Ivan didn’t say more and just watched me devour my beddast. Finally, I borped and patted my round belly 1 felt very satisfied.
Test up and to hean, “I’m done rating, Bye”
“You shouldn’t overest if you have stomach. If you get hungry easily after eating a lot, you should go to the hospital for checkup. It might not be just a gastrointestinal problem Hyperthyroidism or diabetes can cause similar symptoms,” han ached.
1scratched my head Wan’theacadiologist? Why was heconcerned with digestive issues?
But he was looking out for me, so inadded. “Okay. Thank you for the reminder, Dr. York”
i was about to leave when van called out again, Rowan is also in Grandar Cry Didn’t he contact you?
What was Bowen doing here? And why would he contact me?
Ishook myhead, “I don’t know. He didn’t come with me.”
Although had just seen Rowan the day before, Thadn’t paid attention to his whereabouts today
han’s expression was subtle. Finally, he smiled. “Mmm. Gast”
Terved and left. As soon as I reached my room, Dad called He asked, “vy, and you on a abusiness trip in Grandor City?”
“Tomorrow is Mr. Sampson’s 60th birthday was supposed to attend, but I have last–minute work and can’t make it. Your mom can’t get out of work for the next two days either. So, you’ll go on my behalf tomorrow.” Dad called to delegate task
Who was Mr. Sampson? Thad no idea
Dad gren me an address before hanging up
I was puzzled. I was on a business trip, and now had to attend birthday party
However, Bent probably wouldn’t contact me in the next couple of days since he needed to communicate with his company. So that time to attend the party on Dead’s behalf.
Linda was already up, and I told her my plans for the next day. She nodded and said, “okay. I’ll contact you if there’s any work”
“Okay,” replied.
Linda needed the car, so the next day, I took a las to Mystic Hotel, where Mr. Sampson’s party was held.
He was a long time business partner of Dad’s, but wasn’t familiar with him since hadn’t been involved in the company’s afbies before
Dad said he had already sent a gift and some money, so i just needed to show up, say a few words of wishes, and join the celebration.
The older generation still valued these connections.
At the hotel, I reported any idently, but without an invitation, Thad to call Dad to contact Mr. Sampson’s prople.
