Chapter 936 Too Much of a Coincidence

An hour later, Jamie finally tiptoed down the stairs when he heard the front door closing shut. Elise returned from the foyer and immediately saw him creeping down furtively. “Are you a thief?” “Is she gone?” he whispered cautiously.

“Yes.” Finally, he stood up straight and swayed his arms like he had been exercising. “Do you plan to hide from her forever?” She found it funny.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” He acted ignorant while she stared at him amusingly. Let’s see how long you can put up that act. Feeling guilty, Jamie caved in. “Gosh, okay. I won’t keep hiding from her, but it’s not the time now.”

Elise shook her head and wanted to go upstairs to rest, but she was interrupted by the sound of the doorbell. Without wasting time, he fled upstairs and went into hiding. Both guessed that Narissa had returned for the umbrella she left there.

“You’d better not call yourself my junior when you’re out and about,” Elise yelled in his direction before opening the door. “What did you leave behind?”

To her surprise, she saw a few men dressed in suits instead of Narissa. The front person was older than the others. He had a head of gray hair that was slicked back nicely, and there was a watch in the pocket of his coat. His outfit was a simple but tailored luxury item, which was representative of his class.

“Who is this?” Elise greeted him with a nod.

“Is Mr. Keller at home?” The old man smiled at her.

“Who is that?” Jamie sped downstairs to the entrance once he heard the man’s voice.

“Good day, Mr. Keller. I’m from BJ Biotech—the butler of the Heidelberg Family. I specifically visited you today to thank you for saving Miss Heidelberg yesterday,” the old gentleman introduced himself.

“Thank me specifically?” Jamie could not recall any heroic action. “Who’s Miss Heidelberg?”

“Alicia Heidelberg. She was the dog owner you met yesterday.”
