Chapter 32 You Came up With the Excuse Pretty Quickly

"Heh."

Jefferson laughed ambiguously. "You came up with the excuse pretty quickly."

He didn't give Elianna a chance to explain further and instead he mentioned a location.

"Twenty minutes."

"In twenty minutes, I might not be able to..."

Before she could finish her sentence, he hung up.

On the other end of the phone.

"Jeff, are you... angry?"

Albert cautiously asked.

Jefferson lazily threw his phone on the sofa. "If I were angry, you wouldn't be standing right now, but lying flat."

"Hehehe..." Albert forced a laugh, "Don't scare me. I'm easily frightened."

Jefferson didn't respond to that.

Albert observed Jefferson's expression and asked in a softer voice, "You suspected Ms. Gentry had ulterior motives. Why did you still meet with her and let her come here?"

His voice grew quieter and quieter.

Jefferson's lips curled up. "Curious?"

"Ah." Albert lacked confidence.

"She is sexy."

Albert was speechless.

"She's different from Nola. She wasn't sent by the Gentry family."

"Eh."

Albert didn't believe it.

Could Jeff's brain have gone haywire and short-circuited?

Jefferson noticed his doubting expression but remained indifferent. "The news about the bid for Medfolk land has been released, right?"

This suddenly mentioned matter left Albert stunned.

He didn't know why Jefferson suddenly brought this up, but he honestly replied, "I spread a little rumor, saying that you were interested in bidding. My phone was almost blown up with calls."

"That's a juicy piece of meat." Jefferson laughed, "Remember to keep a piece for yourself."

Albert sensed that something was off with Jefferson's smile and felt a chill down his spine, so he didn't dare to respond.

Sure enough, Jefferson's next words were, "As a cemetery."

Albert's knees buckled, and he immediately kneeled, wearing a distressed expression.

"Jeff, I was wrong. I won't blabber on anymore."

Jefferson raised an eyebrow. "I heard that the location there is good, so I thought of you. What are you afraid of?" This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

"Yes, yes, thank you for caring about me, Jeff."

Seeing that Albert was sweating profusely, Jefferson felt satisfied and waved his hand for him to stand up.

After discussing business matters for a while, the hour hand moved from the half-hour mark to the next hour, and there was a tendency for it to move towards the half-hour mark again.

Albert secretly looked at the clock and thought that Elianna was definitely in trouble when she arrived.

Not only he, but Elianna also thought the same way.

But even if she was in a hurry, she had to rush over from the outskirts.

The seconds of the red light seemed to slow down in her eyes, making her restless.

In Eclipse.

Elianna had heard of this before. It was the largest entertainment venue in Oakpool.

Some people said it was a paradise at night, while others said it was a sunless hell.

It all depended on where you were.

Someone must have informed them, as Elianna said something to the person at the entrance and she was led inside.

It was daytime now, and it felt a bit empty inside.

Elianna didn't pay much attention and was led to the top floor.

"Miss, this is the room. I'll go downstairs first."

"Okay, thank you."

Elianna didn't immediately knock on the door. She stood at the entrance and took a deep breath.

When the door was knocked, it had been 58 minutes since she spoke with Jefferson on the phone.

It had been two hours since she missed that call.

With a click, the door opened, and Elianna's heart trembled along with it.

The one opening the door was not Jefferson, but Albert, and his expression seemed difficult to describe.

He didn't speak to Elianna but turned his head towards the inside and said, "Jeff, the person is here. I'll go downstairs and play for a while. Call me if you need anything."

He stepped out, still holding the door open.

Elianna raised her hand to catch the door that was about to close, but as soon as she touched it, Albert immediately let go as if he had dropped a hot potato.

All the signs were indicating the same message that she was in big trouble.

Elianna took a deep breath and walked inside.

Jefferson sat in the middle of the long sofa, with seven or eight cigarette butts in the ashtray on the table in front of him.

She forced herself to call out, "Jefferson."
