Chapter 4 Mr. Andrews, Hello!
The car’s door opened.
Elizabeth lifted her foot and was about to step forward when she realized that the young man who got out of the car was not Nick, but his assistant, Declan.
“Mrs. Andrews, the President has an important appointment and won’t be able to come back for dinner tonight. Here’s a gift for you that he sent.”
When Elizabeth called Nick, she just asked him to come back for dinner and didn’t say Victoria was there otherwise he would have probably refused to come home, given his behavior of leaving his wife behind three years ago and heading overseas.
Elizabeth waved her hand for someone to take the flowers and gifts from Declan’s hand. A flash of loss crossed her face and she sighed, “I know he’s busy, forget about it, let him take care of his health.”
Declan nodded and got back in the car.
Returning to the living room and looking over at Victoria, her heart smothered a little more. She simply waved her hand outright without seeing her again. “Go away and he’ll call you when he’s free.”
“Good.” Victoria agreed with a nod of her head.
Even though she only saw the back of the man and didn’t see Declan’s face, but she knew it wasn’t Nick.
‘Actually, it’s okay if I can’t see you today, the divorce papers are ready anyway.’ With this thought she got out of the house.
She got back in her car and soon was on the road again. Her car stopped when the signal turned red. She was just waiting when she glanced at the work group.
In spite of the fact that it was already off duty, the group was incredibly active.
“I heard Nick is returning this time to prepare for his wedding. Serene Haven Estates just opened and he bought it at a huge cost. This is supposed to be the start of the renovation, right?”
“Our boss is actually Nick’s high school classmate. Will he help us get this design slot this time?”
“Whoever can design a wedding house for Nick will be lucky. It will be worth hundreds or millions, right? In addition to living in a foreign country, he is one of the wealthiest people on the list. As the top international billionaire tycoon, and with the Andrew family’s luxurious background, speaking a few more words with him up close and personal makes people feel infinitely honored…”
Except for a few people within Nick’s circle, no outsiders were aware of his marriage. Even the media didn’t mention a word about it.
Victoria wasn’t interested in the subject, and she was just about to accelerate when she received a text from her boss, Wesley.
[Come to the Moonlight Clubhouse. The owner who was interested in those villas you designed before is here and wants to talk to you personally.]
Her career in interior design started entirely by chance, as she originally studied painting in her freshman year to assist classmates in designing a set of villas. When this design was made public, the result was more than ten times the original price to buy down, launching Victoria’s career.
Then she accepted an offer from her senior, Wesley, to work part-time as an interior designer in his studio. As for why her job was part-time, there were many reasons behind that.
As soon as she saw the text, she turned the wheel.
The Moonlight was a favorite entertainment venue for Veridian City’s rich and famous, and its visitors were all extremely wealthy and well-known.
She received another message from Wesley just as she reached the Moodlight entrance.
[I can’t come to fetch you; Mr. Mercer instructed a friend to bring you in, so you should wait at the door.]
To enter the Moonlight venue, a membership card was required and since Victoria didn’t have one she had to wait outside until someone came to pick her up.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
And at the same time, Nick got a call from Gabriel Mercer, “Bro, I have a friend I’d like to introduce you to. She is at the door. Bring her in with you when you come in.”
Gabriel scanned the design in his hand and figured Nick would like it. Just as Serene Haven Estates was undergoing renovation, his cousin’s arrival was truly special.
“This time the gift for you is guaranteed to be to your liking,” Gabriel said.
Before Nick could reply, the music on the other side increased so steeply that he couldn’t hear what the other person was saying.
The most famous guy in Veridian City was none other than his cousin Gabriel Mercer.
There was no reason for Nick to ignore the so-called “gift” that he was referring to.
When he got out of the car and saw a woman standing in the most noticeable place, his eyebrows furrowed. ‘Was it her?’
As he got closer, he realized that he hadn’t been mistaken. The two of them had just met in the bed in the morning.
Victoria was about to call Wesley again when she saw Nick approaching.
Even in a place like Moonlight, where wealthy people walked everywhere, the man’s outstanding figure and nobility stood out. He was wearing an elegant black suit. His brows were cold as he walked in the dusk like a distant mountain in the twilight with a calm and reserved demeanor.
Nick had been wondering about the woman’s quick departure this morning, but now it seemed that Gabriel had already paid her in advance.
“Are you the one Gabriel wants to introduce?”
Victoria had been surprised that Nick would strike up a conversation with her. She then heard him talk about Gabriel, presumably the boss Wesley had been talking about.
It turned out that Mr. Mercer’s friend was Nick and Mr. Mercer was going to introduce her to Nick.
Was it really him who wanted her to design the wedding house?
Victoria thought it was funny for a moment that the marriage was not yet divorced and she, the ex-wife-to-be, was being asked to design the wedding room for her ex-husband-to-be’s next wife… It was quite a weird world.
But she got paid for what she did, and there was no reason not to do the business that was sent her way.
“Probably, Mr. Andrews. Hello.”
