Chapter 2405
“It‘s already enough now that you‘ve found out the child‘s whereabouts, but finding the mother might
cause you more trouble.
“It‘s one thing if she wants to gain custody of the child from you, but another problem altogether if she insists on
marrying you. You can‘t afford to get into such a drama like this, so...”
The assistant paused for a moment before finally saying, “I think you‘d better stop looking for her.”
Thomas took off his sunglasses to reveal his cold, emotionless eyes. “Do you think I‘m afraid of such a
consequence? Are you working for me, or am I working for you? Do I have to listen to your every word from now
on?”
The assistant lowered his head. “...I‘m sorry. I‘ll do as you say...”
As soon as he finished his sentence, the elevator arrived on the first floor.

Because of this, the woman waiting in front of the elevator managed to catch sight of his godlike, almost flawless
face.
The woman standing in front of the elevator was thin, with skin so pale that she seemed to glow in the light.
However, she was not particularly pretty at all, just average and rather plain–looking.
At this moment, she was waiting for the elevator rather anxiously, as though something was on her mind. As soon
as the doors slid open, she instinctively glanced into it and caught sight of Thomas.
Her gaze seemed to falter as soon as she registered his face.
A split second later, she lowered her head and turned away slightly to allow Thomas and the assistant to pass.
Thomas did not even give her so much as a glance. Instead, he put on his sunglasses haughtily and strode out of
the door with his assistant trotting closely behind.
The woman remained motionless, staring dazedly in the direction Thomas had left.
After a long time, she let out an exhale and got into the elevator, which brought her to the floor Joshua and Luna
were on.
When she arrived, she immediately caught sight of Luna and Joshua, who were chatting at the private booth
entrance with Nellie.
She let out an exhale, strode over, and handed the piece of paper she had been holding to Luna. “Ma‘am, my name
is Yannie. My mother is Mrs. Flores, who works for you.
“After you and Princess Nellie left, my mother found this sketch on Princess Nellie‘s bed. She knew that you and
Princess Nellie had come here for an important business meeting, and she had been sketching the designs on her
bed.
“Therefore, she thought you must have left this sketch at home by mistake and sent me here to give it to you.”
Yannie let out a sigh of relief after handing the sketch over to Luna. “I‘ve never been to such a sophisticated place
before, so I got lost trying to navigate here... I‘m not too late, am I?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA surge of warmth spread through Luna‘s heart when she saw Yannie wiping her sweat in exhaustion and noticed
that the sketch she had given her was also covered in sweat.
She tucked the sketch away and replied, “Thank you. I really appreciate both you and your mother‘s kindness. This
design sketch matters a lot to me, and it‘d be troublesome if I were to lose it.”
Truth be told, this was a sketch that she and Nellie had abandoned, but because they had left the house in such a
rush, neither of them remembered to throw it into the wastepaper basket.
However, she did not say this to Yannie lest she ruined their efforts.
“You don‘t have to thank us!” Yannie smiled. “This is just a part of our job. After all, my mother gets paid very well
working at your house.”
Then, she instinctively glanced into the booth and noticed it was empty.
She could not help recalling the man she had seen in the elevator moments before.
She fell silent for a moment, then could not stop herself from asking, “Ma‘am...do you mind if I ask you a question?
“Did you come here...to talk business with Thomas Howard?”
