Chapter 365 "Absolutely!" I nodded earnestly. "Heading back to RiverCity now?" Mark smiled. "Yeah, I just wanted to check that you're doing alright." I tried to say something. “Mark, you didn't have to..." He brushed it off with a light tone. "Since when do friends not care for each other?" I breathed a sigh of relief, smiled gratefully, and chose not to say more.
"Callanytyou need something." After Mark said that, he turned to Molly, "Miss Ford, did you drive here? Need a lift?" "..." Molly quickly shook her head with a coy smile, "I didn't drive. My driver droppedoff and left. Thanks, Mr. Larson!" On my way back to the room, Christine couldn't wait to gossip. "Do you think Molly has a thing for Mark?" "Probably," I answered with a smile.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMolly was sweet and lively, and Mark was gentle and considerate. They together would indeed make a perfect match, especially since Molly cfrom a good family, and with a brother like Gregory, the Larson family wouldn't dare cross her.
However, Christine was skeptical. “I don't see it happening. Mark is great but too stubborn." I asked in confusion. "What do you mean?" "Even though you said you've cleared the air with him to be friends only" Christine frowned, "I feel like he hasn't let go. Molly chasing after him is setting herself up for disappointment." Seeing my concern, she added, "But Molly's no fool. She's from the Ford family and won't fall into big traps."

I realized I had forgotten to turn off the silent mode from the night before. I was so focused on the clients in the afternoon that I hadn't checked my phone.
The urgency wasn't typical for him. Something urgent must have happened, I called him back as I got into the car, and he picked up almost instantly.

I immediately sensed trouble and said, "I was doing fittings for a client introduced by Adah yesterday. Just finished," "Sendyour location. Don't go anywhere else. Just wait there for me."
"Okay." Without questioning, I sent him my location and told Christine, "Chris, back to the hotel. Gregory needsfor something urgent." Chapter 365 "What's going on?" Christine asked.
I unbuckled my seatbelt, replying. "Gregory's tone doesn't sound like it's bad news. Don't worry."
As the evening lights glowed, I stood by the roadside, wrapping my coat tighter against the chill wind. Turning around, a flashy Pagani screeched to a halt beside me. As the car door opened and I got in, I couldn't help but tease, "Trying to runover..." *Jane, was it peanuts you were allergic to last night?"
