Chapter 379 - THE PURPOSE (1/2)

Larry Smith's behavior was suspicious. Han Luo contemplated, 'Just be because he didn't see me at the party, he wants to meet me and talk to me… how can that be? He must have had some kind of tricks in his sleeves. I better leave when I still have the chance.'

”Since you already saw me and know that I'm doing great, there is nothing else to talk about. I'll be off then.” As she tried to step in the direction of the library, Larry Smith raised his hand to block her way.

Larry Smith smirked. His playboy attitude hadn't gone even after being locked up in his room by his father. ”What's the rush? Why don't we have some coffee and chat? It's been a while since we did.”

Han Luo looked straight at his eyes and told him curtly, ”I don't think we are close enough to have a coffee together. Moreover, even if you have some time to chat, I don't.”

She decided not to go to the library anymore. Thinking of going to Mo Yuan's class, she turned around and about to leave… when Larry Smith asked, ”Don't you want your project to pass?”

Han Luo stopped in her tracks and turned around. ”…What do you mean?”

”It's your first project I presume after you recovered. Your project is about the new ice cream parlor, isn't it? I believe you chose a perfect place for it.”

Han Luo's face hardened. 'Someone is leaking the internal news of the company.' ”So? What of it?”

Larry Smith smirked seeing that he finally got her attention. He shrugged. ”What a scary face! You don't have to be so guarded around me. I'm a well wisher. You are trying to buy a shop that is situated in that place. I'm not stalking you. Don't worry. I know about it because that's the shop owned by my family. To be more precise, that shop is under me.”

'Can luck be any worse than this?' Han Luo thought.

Larry Smith leaned against his car and explained, ”I've been thinking that I should sell this shop since it's not that profitable. And, it's a good spot for school students and lovers. Your project will be successful if you choose that shop.”

Han Luo quietly pondered, 'I think he wants to take advantage of my weakness.'

'Here it comes.' Han Luo braced herself for the worst news.

Larry Smith told her, ”You are not the only client who is interested in this shop. There is another one who wants this shop for their project. Do you want to know who?”

Seeing how eager he was about it, Han Luo sighed. She was also curious. ”Who?”

Larry declared, ”It's Alexander Jones.”

'I had a feeling it would come to this. However, this isn't a place to talk about business. Other students are watching.' Han Luo told him, ”Let's go somewhere else.”

”I knew you were a wise person. Please get in.” Larry opened the door of his car.

Han Luo refused to go anywhere in his car. She wouldn't fall for his trick twice. She said, ”Let's walk. I know a good place.”

Larry sneered. ”So cautious.”

After keeping his car in the parking lot, he walked along with Han Luo. They went to the closest cafeteria. It was Han Luo's choice. She came here with her friends frequently. The employees knew her. She thought it would be safe here. They chose a table close to the window and sat down.

Han Luo clasped her hands and asked directly, ”Why do you want me to do a favor?”

Larry repeated the same answer, ”I want to apologize for the past mistake.”

Han Luo raised an eyebrow. ”Do You? If so, why did you come here? You could directly contact my employee who was consulting you yesterday.”

Larry Smith answered, ”I wanted to talk to the leader behind the project. I quite like your plan.”

Han Luo sipped on the glass and then inquired, ”Is this the only reason you came to meet me?”

Larry shrugged. ”What else could be? As I said before, I wanted to apologize to you.”

Han Luo nodded. She still believed that he had some kind of ulterior motive but she couldn't pinpoint it. She said, ”Hmm, I'll keep that in mind. We will send the legal papers after we are done with the processing. Please sign them.”

”Sure. Let's have a toast for our happy cooperation.” Larry raised his glass.

Clang!

After talking to him, Han Luo went back to the school compound. She went to the garden and gave the Acting Vice President Tong a call.
