Chapter 404

Presently, Daniel was in the piano room on the second floor, watching as Mr. Jackson left. After he looked at the black car on the roadside, he licked his lips. Then, he fished out his phone and ordered something online.

Presently, Daniel was in the piano room on the second floor, watching as Mr. Jackson left. After he looked at the black car on the roadside, he licked his lips. Then, he fished out his phone and ordered something online.

In just an hour, staff members from the flower shop arrived with a bouquet.

Daniel took the bouquet and shuffled toward the building beside him.

Seeing that, the ladies from the flower shop seemed excited.

Zoe was stretching her back when she saw the man, so she began flushing in an instant. Before she could speak, Daniel asked, “Do you want to have dinner with me later?”

She took the flowers. Instead of agreeing to his suggestion on the spot, she questioned, “What in the world is wrong with you today?”

Daniel was rendered speechless. He coughed and lugged her toward the lounge at the back. “Where’s Miss McKinney?”

Zoe knew that he wasn’t here to see her, so she jutted her chin toward the office. “She’s inside.”

Daniel turned around and made sure that the others weren’t following him to the entrance before saying in a small voice, “I’ll talk to her now.”

Zoe replied, “Okay.”

Soon, Daniel entered Leanna’s office.

Zoe’s lips curved into a smile as she held the roses in her arms. She hung her head low and fell into her thoughts.

Inside the office, when Leanna heard someone knocking on the door, she asked the person to come in. Then, she lifted her head and saw Daniel. She asked, “What’s wrong?”

Daniel replied, “I saw Mr. Jackson with you earlier.”

Leanna nodded. “He told me about the Crossley Group’s anniversary party.”

“What else did you guys talk about?”

“We also talked about Jethro. I believe he’s in Lloyd’s hands now.”

Daniel agreed with her. “That’s indeed the outcome of our investigation. Don’t worry, we’ll find out his whereabouts as quickly as we can.”

Leanna cocked her head to one side. “We?”

Realizing that she was trying to sound him out, Daniel came to his senses. “I mean Mr. Jackson, Elijah, and me.”
