Chapter 152


    "No, no, the big boss doesn''t want everyone to love him. He just wants the person he loves to love


    him back."


    As I left thepany, Xander''s words echoed in my ears.


    I found myself wondering what this boss looked like.


    Another strange thing was that thepany''s records had no information about this big boss. Could


    it be that he had something to hide?


    Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.


    Or maybe, like in those CEO novels, he kept an extremely low profile, to the point of not taking


    photos or leaving any trace of himself online?


    As I drove to Glorious, the shop that sold all the antiques, I kept pondering about this mysterious


    boss.


    After parking, I didn''t get out immediately. Instead, I called Brandon.


    He didn''t pick up; he was probably busy. So I left him a message on WhatsApp. "Can youe to


    the Gildon estate with me tonight?"


    Since he didn''t answer the phone, I didn''t expect a quick reply to the message either. After sending


    it, I put my phone away and went into Glorious.


    "Ms. Crown, you''re here," the owner greeted me warmly as soon as I entered.


    I was a regr customer, as I came every year to order a special and quite expensive set of


    calligraphy tools.


    Zack liked calligraphy, so he used up a lot of brushes and ink every year. This was something he


    loved and would use.


    "Mr. Robertson, do you have any new good-quality brushes this year?" I asked while browsing.


    "Yes, yes, the best ones are over here. Don''t bother with the others, you won''t like them as much,"


    the owner guided me.


    Although he said that, I still looked over everything as usual before arriving at the case he


    mentioned.


    One set of dark green brushes immediately caught my eye. "Can I see this one?"


    "Of course!"He carefully took it out. "This is thetest model that has just been released."


    This was a subtlepliment to my good taste.


    I examined it closely. The craftsmanship and materials were indeed excellent, so I decided on the


    spot. "Mr. Robertson, I''ll take this one."


    However, he didn''t agree immediately. I looked up to see a troubled expression on his face. "Ms.


    Crown, this set has already been reserved."


    It must be the only set avable.


    Regret washed over me for a moment.


    But life was full of regrets, wasn''t it?


    Unrequited love was a regret, getting something you didn''t want was a regret, the passing of


    seasons brought regrets, and even ancient emperors regretted not achieving immortality.


    After a brief moment of disappointment, I let it go and started looking for another set. Just then, I


    heard footsteps at the door.


    The owner turned to me and said, "Ms. Crown, take your time. I need to attend to a customer."


    "Go ahead," I replied, just as I saw him taking the set I liked to the new customer.


    I didn''t think much of it and continued my search.


    "Boss, are all the calligraphy tools I ordered here?" Jewel''s voice made me freeze.


    I saw the owner handing that same set to Jewel after turning around.


    It turned out she was the one who had reserved it.


    I didn''t see thating.
