Chapter 2029 A Chance Encounter


    Meanwhile, it seemed Be was spared from the attack as she was not their target.


    Seeing that no one had noticed her, Be moved to the furthest step, ready to depart from this


    “battlefield.”


    As she was about to leave the pool, she could not help but take onest nce behind.


    She was not running away. In fact, she was heading to buy a water gun.


    With just one nce backward, she collided with a muscr figure.


    Be cried out. “Ouch!” Immediately following, her hand instinctively pushed against the man.


    Her forehead was throbbing with a painful bruise.


    While massaging her forehead, Be reluctantly muttered an apology.


    The sound of that person’sughter echoed from above, carrying a hint of familiarity. “Ms. Wickam,


    what a coincidence to run into you here.”


    Upon hearing the words, Be waspletely taken aback, immediately lifting her head to look at the


    person.


    The man opposite her was wearing shorts, baring his well-built upper body. His eight-pack abs were


    prominently defined. The corner of his lips curled into a mischievous grin, radiating an aura of yful


    charisma.


    He was also wearing a very artistically designed ne. That must be Mike. Who else could the man


    be?


    Since the day Be was rescued, she had been recovering at Elisa’s house. Be had considered


    leaving, hut Elisa simply would not hear of it.


    That was why she had been staying there for quite some time.


    Nevertheless, she maintained regr contact with Mike, who frequently shared intriguing updates


    about thepany.


    When Mike noticed that Be was absent, he proactively provided her withpany updates,


    concerned that she might struggle with the workload after recovering from her injury.


    Over time, sharingpany updates had transformed into him sharing his personal stories.


    He would regale Be with tales of the delectable meals he enjoyed, the fascinating people he


    encountered, and the close calls he had with arrivingte for work.


    It was clear that he no longer viewed Be as an outsider.


    Initially, Be felt a bit uneasy as Mike appeared to divulge every minute detail of his life as if he were


    delivering aprehensive report.


    Eventually, she got used to it.


    Sometimes, she would also update him about her life.

    All in all, the two had engaging online conversations, but their joyful interactions were confined to the


    virtual world.


    It had been a while since theyst met, so meeting face-to-face felt somewhat awkward.


    “H-Hey, Mike.” After a brief pause, Be finally called out the other person’s name.


    Simultaneously, her gaze swept over him in disbelief, inevitably fixating on his well-defined abs.


    She remembered the moment she identally bumped into him earlier, and she found the contact with


    his body quite pleasant.


    However, that was not what Be wanted to convey. She cleared her throat, attempting to push those


    thoughts from her mind.


    Turning to Mike, she asked, “What brings you here? What a coincidence.”


    “I came here to rx.” Mike shrugged his shoulders. “I didn’t expect to run into you, Ms. Wickam. Did


    youe alone?”


    In contrast to Be’s startled reaction, Mike appeared much moreposed and naturally initiated a


    conversation with her.


    Be opened her mouth, intending to speak, but Mike silenced her before she could utter a word.


    “It must be cold just standing here like this. I can see you’re shivering. Let’s chat in the water,” he


    suggested.


    Be nodded in agreement, but she had no desire to return to the rose pool since she did not want to


    be ambushed while chatting with him.


    The two of them went to the small pool nearby instead, It was quiet with hardly anyone around, a


    perfect ce for a chat.


    Upon entering the water, Be could not help but shiver from the cold.
