Zane replied. “I can do that, but let me be clear. “Things might not turn our well even if you came.”
Lysander simply said. “I appreciate your help.”
With a sigh. Zane agreed.
Lysander found a nearby café and sat down, waiting and looking up recent property prices in Harborbrook.
Afterparing numerous options, she concluded that the designated relocation building had the best location and offered the highest value for money.
Although it required a considerable investment, it was indeed worth it.
Lysander finally grasped the meaning behind Zachary’s words at that moment. Josiah’s name sure does bring
convenience.
Harborbrook was a radiant metropolis. While the future of housing prices was uncertain, one thing was clear–
they wouldn’t decrease. The city’s excellent location and promising development prospects ensured significant potential for appreciation.
Josiah’s decision to relocate the building here was likely not solely due to its proximity to Central Hospital. He must have considered various other factor
In the afternoon around three o’clock, a message from Zane arrived.
He simply shared a location with Lysander.
Upon closer inspection, Lysander recognized the ce to be the very same bar where Adrian–had taught her how to y poolst time. Mirage.
Why did Josiah suddenly decide to go there today?
Without a second thought, she immediately hailed a cab and headed in that direction.
Just like Skywatch, Mirage was also exceptionally lively that night.
As soon as she pushed open the door, she was met with a cacophony of noise. Inside, there were at least twenty people, both men and women.
Zane had been keeping an eye on the entrance. When he saw here in, he subtly gestured for her to proceed further inside.
Lysander gave a slight nod in gratitude and slowly made her way in the direction he had pointed out.
She soon found her target at the pool table at the very back.
Josiah was standing by the table with a few of his buddies who were leaning on their pool cues, anticipating a good show. A young girl dressed in a hoo

Lysander’s first reaction was to wonder whether this girl was the same one Zane mentioned who had answered Josiah’s phone in the morning.

Or perhaps he had dismissed the one in the morning, and this is a new one.
The girl’s cheeks were rosy, and she was simply dressed in a white hoodie and jeans, her ck hair cascading down. Next to Josiah, she appeared exce
It seemed as though Josiah was teaching her how to y pool. His tall stature hovered over her as he spoke to her. Their hands, both resting on the
same pool cue, were so close that they almost touched.
The men standing across the pool table couldn’t help teasing Josiah mischievously when he didn’t make any further advancements. “Josiah, who teache
“Exactly! Josiah, you should be a responsible teacher. Verbally instructing her won’t be enough.”
“She doesn’t know how to y yet. If you don’t teach her properly, she’ll find someone else to teach her

Josiah looked up at them and chided yfully. “Even smoking can’t shut you guys up.”
Everyone erupted intoughter.
The girl seemed quite young. Even if she wasn’t a student, she couldn’t have been out of school for long. Hearing those guys‘ words, she shyly lifted her

The girl’s face was flushed. “Am I too foolish?”
“Not at all. It’s only your first day of learning. Take it easy; there’s no need to rush.”
-Could you teach me again? I always seem to miss the mark,” she asked.
Josiah bent down. “All right. Look. The main reason you’re having trouble aiming is because you’re not lowering your line of sight.”
The girl leaned forward further. “Oh, is this okay?”
“Bend a little more.”
“Okay.” The girl continued bending down, almost nestled in his arms.
“All right, this is enough.” Josiah propped his left hand on the pool table for support, his right hand gripping the cue in her hand. “With the cue ball, the co

The girl, unable to resist the charm of aposed, gentle man

The girl’s face flushed even more as she stammered,
worried that Josiah might be upset. “No, no. It’s not your fault. It’s me. I just can’t seem to get a hang of it. I think I’m just not talented in ying pool…”
Josiah gestured for the waiter to reset the pool table to its previous arrangement. “That’s okay. Let’s try again.”
Someone immediately teased, “You sure are patient, Josiah. You better focus, littledy.”
“It’s not every day you get the chance to be coached by Josiah. You might not get another chance like this if you don’t pick it up now. He’s a busy man af
The girl genuinely wished the ground would swallow her up. Instinctively, she found herself shrinking into Josiah’s embrace.

the people around him nonchntly and spoke with his arms crossed. “If you guys are bored, why not y against me for the next round?”

When men gathered, they always spoke without any reservations.
Josiah seemed oblivious to what they were saying. Once the pool table was reset, he gestured to the girl standing in front of him to hold the spot on the

His friends tactfully chose not to disturb him when he ignored them. Instead, they teased Aiden with a sly grin. “Aren’t you
afraid Lysanne will find out what you’ve said? You better be careful, or she might teach you a lesson when shees to spotcheck on Josiah.”
Aiden shrugged dismissively, shaking his head. “Spotcheck on Josiah? She won’t dare to do so now.”
