Chapter 340 Embarrassment


    While he spoke, Daniel switched the call to speaker mode and handed the phone to Brittany.


    "Brittany, prove to Jessica that it''s actually you I''m with," he said.


    Jessica was a bit skeptical of Daniel, so she asked, "Brittany, is that you?"


    "Yes, Jessica, it''s me! I ran into our country boy here on the street. He was up to no good, trying to


    skip work, so I thought I''d drag him back to the office!"


    "Get your business done ande back soon."


    With a quickmand, Jessica ended the call. She trusted Daniel with Brittany because they were


    like oil and water; nothing unexpected would happen between them.


    Despite having hung up, Brittany still seemed a bit flustered and nervous.


    "You better not tell Jessica we came to a hotel room!" she warned Daniel.


    "But I''m an honest guy. Whatever Jessica asks, I''ll tell her the truth. It’s just a hotel room visit with


    Brittany during work hours. No big deal; I lose nothing from it."


    "I''m warning you! If you dare to b, I''ll rip your mouth off!"


    The pair left the room and made their way to a nearby herbal market called Herbal Lune. Among all


    the shops in the market, this one wasn''t thergest, but it definitely had its own charm.


    With just a nce, Daniel was certain Herbal Lune had some treasures within its walls and couldn’t


    wait to step inside. As he entered, he saw a beauty in a green dress – Aiden Foster, the owner of


    the shop. Her serene elegance captivated Daniel. He had an eye for beauty, and he never hesitated


    to appreciate a pretty sight when he saw one.


    Noticing Daniel''s unwavering stare at the lovely sight before him, Brittany unexpectedly felt a sting


    of jealousy.


    "Country boy, what are you looking at?" she demanded with irritation.


    "Admiring beauty, of course!" he replied offhandedly.


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    "I… You... Such a jerk!"


    "I’m simply admiring beauty openly and admitting it like a gentleman should. What’s wrong with


    that?"


    "Gentleman? You’re acting like anything but," snapped Brittany.


    Just then, Aiden approached with grace in her high heels, her waist swaying as she neared. She


    greeted Daniel with a warm and coquettish voice, "Hey, handsome, are you here to buy some


    herbs?"


    "What a gorgeousdy! How may I address you? My name’s Daniel," he introduced himself.


    "Nice to meet you, Daniel. I''m Aiden, the owner of Herbal Lune," she replied with her usual


    enthusiastic wee.


    To her, the man in front of her was the kind of person who would shell out cash when charmed by a


    pretty woman.


    Brittany, ever clever, sensed something was off right away. She quickly grabbed Daniel''s arm,


    urging, "Are you familiar with her? Every shop here has herbs, let''s not buy from this one. Let’s find


    another, a more reputable ce that seriously deals in herbal remedies."


    Aiden bristled at thement.
