Chapter 1445


    "Ring..."


    Right after Julien had left, the man who imed to be Lawrie''s father called Vanessa on the phone.


    Vanessa answered the phone, "Hello!"


    The man said, "Miss Vanessa, it''s 2 p.m. already. Why aren''t you here yet?"


    Vanessa really wanted to meet this person and get the evidence as soon as possible to bring him to


    justice, but she was in the hospital at this moment. Moreover, Julien''s men were guarding outside.


    She couldn''t leave at all, so she had no choice but to say, "Sorry, I can''t make it today because of


    work. If you don''t mind, how about we meet at 2 p.m. the day after tomorrow?"


    The man said again, "This is the first time ever in my life I got stood up. It would be a lie if I say that


    I don''t mind it at all. But since it''s you, I''ll wait for you for two more days then."


    Vanessa hated this man so much that she wanted to tear him into pieces at that instant, but it was


    not the right time yet. Hence, she said politely, "Thanks!"


    That evening, Vanessa left the hospital and went home. As soon as she got home, a delivery man


    showed up at her door step and delivered a bouquet of flowers. "Miss Love, this is from Mr. Kyle.


    Please sign here."


    Vanessa looked at therge bouquet of red roses. "Mr. Kyle? Which Mr. Kyle?"


    The delivery man said, "He didn''t give us his full name, so I don''t know which Mr. Kyle he is."


    The only person Vanessa could think about was Julien. Were these flowers a gift from Julien?


    It was very unlikely.


    Julien was not a romantic person at all. Even when they were dating back then, he had never given


    her flowers. What''s more, she had just refused his marriage proposal.


    Based on Vanessa''s understanding of Julien, she was sure that Julien would still be angry at her.


    He would be angry at her for at least two weeks, so it was impossible for him to send her flowers


    now.


    However, Vanessa couldn''t think of any other Mr. Kyle. She thought that it was probably Joel who


    decided to send her the flowers in Julien''s name. Thinking of this possibility, Vanessa calmly


    epted the flowers and said, "Thank you!"


    Vanessa had just epted the flowers when someone knocked on her door again. Vanessa opened


    the door, and this time, it was a man dressed in a formal suit with a pair of sses sitting on his


    nose. At one nce, Vanessa could tell that he was a knowledgeable man. She asked, "Who are


    you looking for?"


    "Excuse me, are you Miss Love?" asked the man.


    Vanessa nodded and said, "I am. How can I help you?"


    The man took out an envelope and said, "I''m Pedro Murphy, Mr. Kyle''swyer. This agreement is


    the transfer of ownership of this house. After signing this, andpleting the transfer procedure at


    the Land Registry, this house will then belong to you."


    Vanessa frowned and asked, "Did Mr. Kyle send you here?"


    Pedro nodded and said, "Yes. Mr. Kyle is giving you this house as a gift."


    Vanessa couldn''t believe it. "Mr. Murphy, are you sure you didn''t make a mistake? This house is not


    far away from Mangrove Bay. It''s the most expensive residential area in Chatterton Town. It''s worth


    at least tens of millions. Is he really giving it to me?"


    Pedro said, "How can I make a mistake over such an important matter? Miss Love, you just need to


    put your signature down here, and we will handle the remaining procedures. When everything else


    is settled, you just need to go to the Land Registry to sign the deed."

    Vanessa did need money, and she did want to get more money out of Julien. However, she wanted


    to earn them by her own efforts. Now that he was giving her such an expensive house, Vanessa


    dared not ept it. She said, "Mr. Murphy, I really can''t sign this, and I can''t ept this house too.


    Please tell Mr. Kyle to stop ying such childish tricks."


    Pedro said, "Miss Love, I''m just doing this under Mr. Kyle''s order. If you don''t sign it, I''ll report the


    situation as it is to him. As for the message that you would like to me to pass on to him, I''m afraid


    that you''ll have to do that yourself."


    Vanessa said, "Okay, I''ll tell him in person. Thank you."


    It seemed like it was true that birds of a feather flock together. Pedro was exactly like Julien. He was


    as arrogant and indifferent as Julien.


    After Pedro had left, Vanessa went back into the house and saw the bouquet of roses. She did not


    know how to describe what she was feeling at that moment. Women liked to receive flowers from


    their beloved ones... However, she was not feeling happy at all, because she did not know what


    was Julien trying to do. That thought alone made her feel anxious...


    After that night, Vanessa did not hear from Julien for a few days. Now that her leave had ended,


    Vanessa got up early in the morning to prepare breakfast for Lawrie and then went to thepany.


    The moment Vanessa sat down at her desk, she saw that Julien wasing in with his assistants


    around him. However, when he walked past her office, he stayed for a few seconds before walking


    away.


    Vanessa did not understand what it meant when he looked at her, but she did not dare to think too


    much about it and continued with her work. After preparing all the documents that she needed that


    morning, she went to the pantry to make coffee for Julien. When she was on her way, Joel stopped


    her. "Vanessa, from today onwards, you don''t have to make coffee for Mr. Kyle anymore."


    Vanessa was a little flustered. She was afraid that Julien would fire her just because she did not


    ept his marriage proposal, so she asked, "Joel, wh, why?"


    Joel shrugged. "This is Mr. Kyle''s order. I don''t know what''s the reason either. But no matter what


    Mr. Kyle is thinking, you just need to do your job well."


    Vanessa nodded dully. "Okay."


    Joel patted her shoulder. "Don''t think too much about it, okay."


    Vanessa answered, "Okay."


    As soon as Joel left, Vanessa''s colleagues who were in the pantry said in a sarcastic tone,


    "Someone has been trying to win Mr. Kyle''s heart by making coffee for him every day. It seems like


    it''s not working anymore."


    They were none other than Lena Lesley and Jules Young, who often gossiped in the office. Vanessa


    did not have the time to care about them, so she ignored them and went straight back to her desk.


    For the past year, as long as Julien was in the office, Vanessa would make coffee for him. It was an


    indispensable part of Vanessa''s job. Now that she was ordered not to do it, she felt extremely


    uneasy. She could no longer focus on her work. She could not stop wondering what Julien was


    trying to do to her.


    Vanessa wasn''t in a good condition throughout the morning. She was so worried that she had no


    appetite to have lunch. Seeing that her colleagues had left for lunch, she weakly leaned onto the


    desk and said, "What should I do? What should I do? I''ve really pissed Julien off this time. He''s


    going to kill me."


    Knock, knock.


    All of a sudden, someone knocked on her desk. She looked up and saw that Julien was standing in


    front of her desk. She quickly stood up and said nervously, "Mr, Mr. Kyle..."


    Noticing that Vanessa was so nervous that she was stammering, Julien instinctively furrowed his


    brows. However, he realized that he shouldn''t have shown his repugnance like this, so he tried to


    put on a friendlier expression. "Let''s go for lunch together."
