Chapter 197


    Bary ced the deboned fish onto Moira’s te. “Indeed, it’s not very high.”


    Moira said, “Um… thank you.”


    Rich people really had a different concept of moneypared to herl


    “Do you need money?” he asked.


    Moira answered, “Not really,”


    “Really?” Bary nced at her. “If you ever need money, you can… borrow from me!”


    “Thank you.” Moira smiled. It was unnecessary.


    With everything reported, the next step was to sign the contract with Felix.


    Lenka and Felix’s agent had already arranged everything. Moira received a call from Lenka after


    finishing her lunch, asking her toe out and sign the contract.


    Moira was a bit surprised. “So soon?”


    Lenka replied, “Felix said that theirpany is rushing us.”


    Moira didn’t think much of it. “Oh, okay!”


    She had nned to take a nap, but now she had to change and go out to sign the contract.


    The temperature outside was nearing 104 °F, so Moira opted for a long skirt and a pair of t


    sandals.


    She didn’t n to stay out for long, so she dressed casually. She braided her hair into a simple twist


    and let it fall over her right shoulder. Apart from sunscreen and lipstick, she wore no makeup.


    With her bag in hand, she headed downstairs, where she bumped into Barying up. Moira


    told him, “I’m going out to sign a contract.”


    Bary nced at her. “I’ll drive you.”


    Moira wanted to decline, saying she could just take a taxi, but Bary had already walked past her.


    She nced back at his departing figure and went downstairs to fetch a ss of water while waiting


    for him.


    Bary soon descended, d in loose ck casual pants and a silk shirt of the same color


    scheme.


    Moira watched him descend the stairs, admiring his look.


    “Ready,” he said as he approached her.


    Moira took a sip of water in a daze.


    Bary usually presented himself in formal attire, exuding dignity and restraint. Moira could only


    fantasize about him without daring to

    actually offend him.


    But today, with his current attire, he seemed like a carefree nobleman, exuding a hint of elegance


    that tempted one to touch him.

    Moira got into the car, avoiding looking at Bary throughout the journey.


    However, the confined space allowed the unique scent of wood emanating from him to silently


    tempt her tomit a crime.

    She stared out the window, her mind filled with thoughts of Bary’s figure and his alluring chest


    exposed by his unbuttoned cor.


    The journey felt like a trip through purgatory for Moira.


    Fortunately, the location Lenka arranged for their meeting with Felix wasn’t far. They arrived at their


    destination in just twenty minutes from the vi.


    When the car stopped, Moira nced at Bary and quickly unbuckled her seatbelt. “I’m going to


    bete, Mr. Covington. I’ll head up first. Feel free to go ahead if you’re busy, and don’t worry about


    me!”


    With that, she dashed towards the elevator.


    Bary watched Moira join the crowd entering the elevator, his brows furrowing slightly. He nced


    down at his cor. Perfectly open.


    But why wasn’t she looking? Had she grown tired of him already?


    Bary tapped his fingers on the steering wheel twice. Afterward, he lifted his hand and leisurely


    buttoned up the second button of his shirt before exiting the car and heading toward the elevator


    slowly.


    He wanted to see what kind of game Felix was ying.
