Chapter 1456 See You Tomorrow
"It''s good that you didn''t tell her." Jordan heaved a deep sigh of relief. He was worried that his
troublesome sister had spoiled his ns. If she had talked to Cassie about her encounter with Lily and
Nick at his apartment, his n would have beenpletely ruined.
After all, ording to Cassie, no one other than the three of them knew what exactly had happened in
that room that day. He was not there, so it wouldn''t make sense if he knew all the details.
"I have some doubts too. Did you send anyone to stalk Nick? If not, how would you know all this?" Cora
asked curiously.
Jordan had an answer ready for that question. He remained calm and replied, "I wasn''t stalking Nick.
But I did send someone to secretly protect Cassie since that ident. I didn''t think I would find Nick
with another woman in the process. I would say it was sheer luck."
"Oh, I see." Cora looked at Jordan, her eyes full of admiration. "You are such a gentleman. If I were
lucky enough to meet a man like you who would treat me so sincerely, I will be the happiest woman in
the world. You are so good to Cassie."
Jordan gave her a wide smile and said, "One day, you will meet someone who cherishes and loves you
more than anyone else."
"I hope so. By the way, why didn''t you want to invite Cassie to lunch?" Cora thought it was a good
opportunity for Jordan to make his move to solidify his rtionship with Cassie. But Jordan defied her
expectations. Why wouldn''t he act now? There was an old saying which said, "Strike while the iron is
still hot." But Jordan was taking his time. Wasn''t this the best time tofort Cassie and be by her
side?
Despite that, Jordan had specifically asked her not to invite Cassie for lunch and had made her keep
the information she had about Nick a secret.
Jordan replied, "You really don''t understand how women think."
"That''s ridiculous! I am a woman too. Are you saying you understand women better than I do?
Impossible!" Cora said with a pout.
"I bet you really don''t understand. You''re a woman, but you have never been in a rtionship. When
you get a boyfriend, you will understand what I''m talking about. Now, let''s go for lunch." Jordan wasn''t
interested in continuing the conversation regarding Cassie.
And without a doubt, food was a more attractive topic to Cora than anything else.
At the pedestrian street
Ms. Bai walked into Le''s shop again. She came right when Le wasn''t too busy.
This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.
"How''s business?"
"Hi! Wee back. It''s not bad. Come on in, take a seat." Le gently held Ms. Bai''s hand and led her
to a table. She ran back to get her a ss of water.
After all, Ms. Bai was not only a friend to her, but also a steady customer. Le was happy to see her
and also treated her with respect.
"Please have some water," Le said, handing the ss to Ms. Bai.
"You don''t have to be so polite to me. This is not my first time here, and it wouldn''t be thest either.
So, treat me like a friend, not a customer," Ms. Bai said with a smile. "Go ahead and deal with the other
customers. I was just passing this way and stopped by to see how things are going with you. That''s all."
Before leaving, Ms. Bai bought some stuff from Le''s shop. Le couldn''t suppress her excitement.
But soon after Ms. Bai left, Le felt depressed. She envied Ms. Bai, who had such a huge fortune;
whatever she wanted to buy was within her grasp. There was no question of whether she could afford
something or not; anything she wished, she could have.
But Le was still struggling to make ends meet. She had to work to her bones for a proper meal and
decent clothing. She wanted to lead a luxury life, but it was still a far away dream. She and Ms. Bai
were about the same age, but they lived such different lives. They existed in different worlds.
But her grim feelings onlysted for a few seconds. Le left behind those thoughts soon; she had
much work to do.
She turned back and returned to her shop to organize the goods. Her business had been getting better
hire someone to work for her.
As Le was silently making her ns, her phone buzzed on the table nearby.
She picked it up and checked the caller ID. It was Holley. Le hesitated at first, but then answered.
She heard Holley''s clear voice from the other side of the phone, "Le, have youpletely forgotten
that you need to go back to the Lu Family because your business has been flourishing? Do you still
remember our deal?"
Over the phone, Holley''s voice seemed so soft, as if it was immersed in the morning dew. But Le
knew that Holley was criticizing her.
She knitted her brows and asked firmly, "What do you want? What are you nning?"
Holleyughed into the phone. It sounded like she was mocking Le. She felt humiliated and her fairy
face immediately turned red.
"Rx, Le. Let''s have a face-to-face conversation. That''ll be better than talking over the phone. Don''t
you think?"
Le figured that she might have overreacted. So, she took a deep breath to steady herself.
"Okay. Name a ce."
She and Holley had made an agreement and they had the same target—Sheryl. Since they had agreed
to deal with her together, they would have to move forward with the best n.
"How about the newly opened ISA Beauty Club? I have been wanting to go there for a while. Let''s go
for a body spa tomorrow. We can rx and then talk," Holley said coldly.
"Sounds good. See you tomorrow," Le agreed without any hesitation.
At ISA Beauty Club
After a basic facial care, Le and Holley were lying down on the massage bed,pletely rxed.
They seldom had such an opportunity to clear their minds, even for just a while.
It was especially true for Le. She had been exhausted recently. Her shallow face was proof that she
often stayed upte; she had more wrinkles around her eyes and on her forehead. If it were not for the
thick make-up, she would look like a ghost.
When she got up every morning, she tried her best to avoid looking in the mirror. She didn''t want to see
herself getting more and more ugly. She would feel inferior sometimes. After all, looks were so
important for a woman.
The facial care in the beauty club made her feel much better. She secretly thanked Holley for selecting
such a good ce.
After a few minutes of rxation, Holley slowly started a serious conversation, getting directly to the
point.
"How are things going between you and Melissa?" Since Holley was applying a facial mask, her words
sounded very vague.
