When There Is Nothing Left But Love

I smiled at him. The scandal about Fuller Corporation had spread like wildfire in K City. Many people in the industry heard about it, so I’m not surprised that he knew it too.

He waved at the waiters and asked them to serve the dishes. As we chatted away, all the dishes were served. The man looked at me and said, “It seems like the Lavelian Village project can’t be completed anytime soon. Are you going to stay here or return to A City after this?”

I shrugged. “I haven’t thought about it. I’ll see how things go after I go back during the holiday.” Thinking of Nora, I glanced at him while asking, “I thought you would bring Nora along this time. “

He smiled without answering me. “Did you bring the box here?”

“Of course I did, but there’s something I need to ask you first.” I had been pondering it for so long, yet I just couldn’t get to the bottom of it.

“Go ahead.” He nodded.

“The box that you put up for auction back in J City… was that your grandpa’s?”

The man nodded his head in response.

Pausing briefly, I questioned, “Did someone give him the box? Can you help me ask him whether he knows someone named Winona?”

My questions wiped the smile off his face. In a split second, his expression fell, giving off a hint of indescribable coldness. The temperature around me seemed to have dropped. I couldn’t help rubbing my arms.
