Chapter 573


    In the array of distinct standalone homes perched atop the tform, Irving showed us the most character of the bunch.


    The view was magnificent, with an expansive swimming pool hugging the tform''s edge, merging seamlessly with the sky. It


    was a prime slice of heaven, nestled between the rolling hills and a private garden terrace.


    This ce was a tad cozier than the Serene Garden Homes, but the vistas were breathtaking. One could gaze down upon the


    quaint corner of Goldenvale Town, with the endless ocean stretching to the east.


    Irving had been watching my reactions closely. Now, seeing me leaning on the railing and looking out into the distance, he


    strolled over with a grin, "Ms. Wilburn, how do you feel about it?"


    "Pretty impressive! Wide-open views, pleasant scenery, and over there..." | gestured towards the mountain range behind the


    vi, "Is it safe?"


    “You can count on that." Irving assured me, "Even though we''re up here at Hilltop Retreats, we''ve got ns for development.


    There''s no blind spot in our security. This mountain range is all under security surveince, no hidden dangers."


    “How on earth did you snag this ce?" | asked with feigned admiration, "I''m not keen on moving house all the time."


    Irving chuckled, "Every chicken has its path, as they say. In business, who doesn''t have their connections?" He handed me a set


    of keys, "Make yourself at home."


    "I''d like pay for it myself," | said, taking the keys.


    "If our deal goes through, consider it part of your annual cut. This one''s just for you," Irving whispered.


    “And if it doesn''t?" | teased, though my expression betrayed my jest.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.


    "Then you can pay for it yourself," Irving replied with a meaningful smile.


    "Deal!" | pocketed the keys without hesitation, feigning contentment, "I''ll have someonee tidy up in the next few days.


    Finally, a ce to call my own."


    "I''ve got a flight to Silverdale City tomorrow. Are you heading back?" Irving asked rxed after seeing me secure the keys.


    “Not just yet. | still need to check in at Medsafe Liyah Inc.," | replied nonchntly.


    "Maybe we could continue discussing the partnership with Medsafe Liyah Inc.?" Irving hinted, seeing an opportunity.


    "Give me a break. Jan has turned Medsafe Liyah Inc. upside down. | need to catch my breath and set things straight," |


    replied with a legitimate reason.


    | thought to myself, “Medsafe Liyah Inc.? Don''t even think about it. There''s no way I''m leaving any loose ends this time.”


    "I''ve left it all in the hands of a former associate. My main focus now is on Silverdale City, even my dad''s protested." | said with a


    smile, giving him a yful nce, "Sometimes, it really is hard to be in two ces at once."


    Gevena''s call couldn''t have been better timed. | made sure Irving heard, "Gevena, I''ll be done here shortly. You go ahead, and I''ll


    be right there."


    After | hung up, Irving asked casually, "Mrs. Atwood?"


    "Yep! A little get-together with the girls," | said nonchntly, "Well then, see you in Silverdale City."


    Before hopping into the car, | threw Irving a meaningful look, "Push hard!"


    Irving raised an eyebrow and smirked as if we shared an unspoken understanding.


    We each got into our cars, and | told Hannah the address, while Irving drove off.


    | rang Ronan and gave him the vi''s address.


    "Thinking of moving in?" Hannah asked, "It really is a lovely ce."


    "Yes, I''ll stay, at least until they sign the contract. | need to give him some peace of mind," | told Hannah.


    Arriving at our usual spot for the girls'' meet-up, | was surprised to see Janice had brought Jta along.


    It had been a while since I''d seen Jta, who looked much better, a bit plumper, still in a wheelchair, but speaking was no


    longer an issue.


    Gevena greeted me with a wave and a smile, "Busy first thing in the morning? Show me you''re all fixed up now."


    |ughed, teasing back, "All proper now."


    They allughed, and Catherine gave me a side-eye, "How improper were you before?"


    "The worst! | was always acting dead,

    Laughs circled the group again as Jta quickly wiped her eyes.


    Turning to Gevena, | asked, "Is lunch sorted? I''m starving here, no more filling up on water, please."


    "Today''s on Janice," Gevena informed me.


    "Why''s that?"


    “Her husband just got a big promotion," Gevena said with a hint of envy.
