Renee was a bit taken aback. She had done extensive research and had discovered that the property was owned by
Rubio.
However, according to him, it belonged to someone else.
“Since the boss’ identity is unique, he is unable to seize control of the property using his own name. Fortunately, the
Pascal family has the financial means to purchase the property, so I helped him with it. On the surface, it seems
that I am in command of the land, but I do not make the decisions. Additionally, it wasn’t me that wanted the
Rainbow Glaze, but him.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRubio purposely reminded her, “I’m warning you now – we can’t afford to offend the boss. Don’t try and do anything
under his watch.”
“I want to meet the person who can make you call them ‘boss.’ I’m not concerned about regaining ownership of the
land, I just want to meet him,” she said excitedly. She was like a lively child eager to start a new game.
She wasn’t really pleased to see Rubio since she felt he was rather plain. However, now that she knew there was
someone more powerful than Rubio, her curiosity had been piqued.
“Sure. As a buddy, I’ll assist you… I’ve already arranged a dinner for you and the boss,” he said after a little pause.
“It’s up to you if you can win him over or not.”
“Thank you very much, Rubio.” Rubio had purposefully made things tough for her because of the boss’s orders, she
knew. She would try her best to get the property as soon as possible to meet Abby’s living requirements.
Renee hadn’t yet returned home, so Adie and Abby stood at the door once again, waiting for her.
“Adie, Mommy hasn’t come home today, and I’m having trouble contacting Daddy Q. Might they have gone on a
date?” Abby gazed up at Adie curiously.
Mr. Q would normally be at home at this hour, having prepared food for them. However, he had not returned home
for the entire day, and they had been unable to contact him.
Abby was unaccustomed to this. She missed Renee and Mr. Q.
“I don’t think it’s possible…” Adie cupped his chin and said seriously, “It’s normal for Mommy to work till late at
night. If Mr. Q was with Mommy, he would’ve taken a picture and sent it to us to show off. He’s so quiet now which
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcould only mean…”
“Could only mean what?” Abby asked eagerly.
“He’s probably lazy. He didn’t want to cook for us anymore, so he turned off his phone so we couldn’t bother him.”
“That sounds possible. So, I guess we shouldn’t trouble him tonight and let him rest,” Abby said thoughtfully.
Mr. Q had been looking after them for the past few days, so it was reasonable that he needed to rest.
“I believe he should rest too. We’ll be at a loss if he gets sick from being too fatigued,” Adie reasoned.
The doorbell rang unexpectedly while the two of them were debating it.
