Chapter 29 Begging Him
After leaving the Linden residence, Serena sat in the car, her delicate features shadowed by a faint melancholy
Though Lewis was sitting in the front passenger seat, he kept a watchful eye on her in the back.
After a while, he turned to her and profly asked, “Mrs. Spencer, are you alright?”
Serena snapped out of her thoughts and forced a gentle smile as she replied, “I’m fine. I was just lost in thought.”
Lewis knew exactly what was on her mind
“Mrs. Spencer, there’s no need to worry. Mr. Spencer is competent. He’ll certainly be able to help you track down those two missing jewelry pieces.”
These words brought a spark of hope to Siena, lining the gloom in her eyes.
He was right. With Harrison’s abilities, finding those pieces would beeffortless, Serena felt a stirring in her heart, so she quickly pulled out her phone and planned to send him a message. But as she entered the chat with him, her finger paused in the air, hesitation creeping lato her thoughts.
However, rationality won out over hesitation
She found the photos of the two jewelry pieces and sent them to Harrison. She wrote, “Mr. Spencer, could you help me find these two pieces of jewelry? They’re very important to me. Please help!”
After sending the message, she found herself growing nervous. She wasn’t sure if Harrison would agree to help, but logically, he shouldn’t refuse
After all, it was
as just a matter of using his connections to gather information, and there wasn’t much at stake. She could always beg him later that night if he didn’t respond.
Meanwhile, Harrison was sitting at the center of the conference room, his expression serious as he listened intently to the product manager outlining the details of a new project. Suddenly, his phone Et up. He glanced at the screm indifferently before reaching for the phone and reading the newly received message.
When he saw the playful “Please help!” at the end, he smiled, a subtle warmth flickering in his eyes.
The people in the room stared in surprise. Even the product manager, who had been speaking passionately, faltered momentarily. The whole room tell into a brief silence. Pierce, who was standing by, appeared much more composed. After all, he had grown used to it by now.
After reading the message, Harrison simply replied with a single word-“Okay”
Then, besed nothing more.
Just after replying to Serena’s message, Lewis WhatsApp message Immediately popped up. He wrote, “Mrs. Spencer went to the Linden residence today and was bullied.” The message caught Harrison’s attention, and his sharp brows furrowed in displeasure as his expression immediately grew serious. His fingers tapped lightly on the phone, and he quickly sent a reply. “Did she get bun?”
Lewis replied, “No, I arrived in time with some people. She wasn’t injured.”
Relief washed over him when he learned that Serena hadn’t been harmed. The tension in his brow eased slightly.
He then put his phone down, his gaze turning cold as he scanned the room. His voice was low, “Continue with the meeting”
After the meeting ended, Harrison immediately instructed Pierce, “Pierce, investigate all of Charles! private assets and gather detailed information on Helena and Naomi,” Pierce responded quickly, “I understand.”
“Alo.” Harrison continued, using his phone. “Look into the whereabouts of these two jewelry pieces and find out who currently has them.”
As he finished speaking, the photos of the jewelry were forwarded to Pence’s phone.
Pince quickly looked at the photos, then nodded. “Got it, Mr. Spencer, I’ll start the investigation right away.”
That evening, Harrison returned to Cowley Bay.
Whes Serena saw him come in, she hesitated momentarily, remembering the favor she had asked of him earlier that day. Finally, she couldn’t help but walk up to him and ask,” Mr. Spenter, did you manage to look into the matter asked you about this morning?”
He frowned slightly, a fleeting, unreadable emotion crossing his face without answering, he brushed past her and walked over to decouch.
Seeing this, she felt uneasy sheer Up and followed him with small, quick steps.
Glancing at her from the corner of his eye, Harrison suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist, pulling her to his arms caught off guard, she landed directly on his lap. The distance between theen instantly closed, and their breaths were audible.
Harrison’s face came into focus in her clear game. The faint scent of mint surrounded by, creating an almost indescribable, enticing allure. It was fresh and yet subtly provocative. Serena’s cheeks flushed again, her heart racing.
Harrison stared at her with deep, penetrating eyes, his voter low as he asked, “You don’t trust nie?“
“It’s not that “Serena quickly denied, her voice sot, “was. I was afraid you were too busy and might forget.”
