For me? Mr. Gorman, I dont get what you mean,” Mayra said, puzzled.
Shane kept his eyes on the road, and his tone was calm when he replied, “Ms. Sadler, you don’t have to understand right now. You’re still young. Just focus on what you need to do. Mr. Anderson will take care of everything else for you.”
Mayra couldn’t quite grasp Shane’s implications. She decided not to dwell on it as it seemed irrelevant to her.
Back at the Barlow mansion, she dragged the sack to the seldom–used garage in the backyard,
Julia had already prepared dinner for her. She asked, “Ms. Sadler, what were those things? You can’t just bring random things into the mansion. They might not be clean,”
Mayra replied, “They’re just cardboard boxes and plastic bottles I collected. From now on, put anything recyclable in the garage, and I’ll sell them.”
Julia was concerned. “Ms. Sandler, do you understand what you’re doing? I might have to inform Madam Sonia so that you can learn proper etiquette. Your status now
Frustrated that she couldn’t even eat in peace, Mayra lost her appetite and grabbed her backpack before heading upstairs to her room.
After ensuring no one was following her, she locked her room and quickly called Gordon.
Gordon was discussing the upcoming competition with his team when his phone buzzed. After pausing the discussion, he stepped out to take the call.
Mayra leaned against the balcony, her hair fluttering in the breeze. The golden light of sunset cast a glow on her youthful face. “Gordon, are you home yet?”
“No, I’m still at school to discuss with my advisor about the competition. What are you up to?”
“I’m thinking about you, of course! Have you eaten yet? Gordon, how’s your mom doing?”
Gordon looked out over the sunset–lit schoolyard, his voice steady. “She’s gone to Candor City for treatment. A charitable organization is coveri
and the rest is being taken care of by a fund from the University of Belchester.”
Was this Anderson’s doing? As usual, his actions were so subtle that Gordon wolatot even reahre someone else was helping him.
“That’s great news, Gordon. Things will only bet better for you.”
Yes, but she still needs a kidney transplant for a full recovery. How are you adjusting to your new environment?”
Tm fine…” It was just that she wouldn’t be able to see Gordon as often as before anymore.
The call lasted about ten minutes before Gordon had to return to his work.
A few hours later in the Sage private room at Marquise Club, Anderson was fiddling with his glass. “Mr. Young, if you like her, I’ll have my assistant drink with you.” He then called out, “Hailey.”
Sitting beside Anderson was the head of the Department of Commerce, John Young. He eyed Hailey behind Anderson with greedy eyes as he lifted his glass with a smile. “It’s fine, Mr. Anderson. She looks barely in her 20s. But Mr. Anderson, you certainly are lucky to have the top socialite of Belchester as your fiancée and this stunning beauty by your side.”
