Chapter 459


    There was a woman standing with her back facing her in the balcony. There were no expensive or


    precious flowers in the room. The entire room was filled with a few sunflowers thatplemented the


    decoration in the room. The woman put down the bottle in her hand and turned around, smiling as she


    greeted Hesper, "Hello, Ms. Rivera."


    Upon seeing the woman, Hesper was briefly stunned. The reason was nothing else but that the woman


    bore a resemnce to her. The brightness in her almond-shaped eyes had been enriched by the


    passage of time, making her seem even more gentle.


    "Hi, Mrs. Lanning. I''m Hespe Rivera."


    Elise walked over gracefully and said, "Please have a seat, Ms. Rivera. I like your design a lot. I never


    expected you to be so young. It''s such a shame that I couldn''t meet you earlier due to my poor health.


    It''s strange, but as soon as I saw you, I felt particrly close to you. It''s as if I had met you somewhere


    before."


    Hesper actually had the same feeling. However, considering the fact that her current face was not her


    original one, she was certain that it must be an illusion. "There''s no need to be so polite, Mrs. Lanning.


    You can just call me Hesper."


    "But aren''t you also being polite?" Elise quipped, making Hesper freeze briefly. "Judging by age, I''m


    about the same age as your mother. From now on, you can call me Aunt Elise. We''ll probably meet


    frequently in the future. You don''t have to treat me like a client. I don''t like that kind of formality."


    It appeared that Elise was indeed well-loved, and the multipleyers of screening and checks she


    underwent outside indicated that she was a pampereddy.


    Elise''splexion was fine, but it was evident that she had been sick for a long time. When Hesper


    took her measurements, she also noticed that Elise was as thin as a rake.


    "It''s an old illness. I was exposed to radiation when I was young, and my body has been difficult to


    recover ever since."


    Hesper had no intention of prying into her client''s past, nor did she harbor any inappropriate curiosity.


    She was pretty sure that radiation was not something that ordinary people could be exposed to.


    It was almost lunchtime after getting Elise''s measurement and discussing with her about the initial


    design n, and Hesper felt that it was time for her to go.


    "Are you not staying for a meal, Hesper?"


    Elise had no idea why but she had a strange attachment to the girl in front of her. Even though she had


    an ordinary appearance, she gave her a very familiar vibe and it made her wonder if they had met in


    the past.


    "I''ll be overstaying my wee if I join you for lunch, so I''ll be leaving first," Hesper said, politely


    declining Elise''s invitation.


    Since this was the first time they met each other, Elise did not press on. She told the driver to send


    Hesper back and reminded her to be careful on the way.


    "Sir…"


    Guided by a servant, Hesper turned around and caught sight of a man who had just parked the car.


    However, she only saw his back as he hurriedly went upstairs.


    ''Is he Mrs. Lanning''s husband?''


    Before Hesper could go deeper into her thoughts, she had already gotten into the car.


    "May I know your address?" the driver asked.


    Hesper gave her address to the driver, then settled down in the back seat while waiting for him to send


    her home.


    It was a relief that her big client was not someone who was difficult to deal with. As for the matter of


    having lunch together, going home seemed like an easier option for her.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.
