Chapter 889 - Marie & Nicolae (2) (1/2)
”I'm going to the restaurant, 20th floor. Thank you,” Marie hurriedly replied.
”Please press for the 17th floor. Thank you, young man,” said the husband of the middle-aged couple.
”Please press the button on the 25th floor. Thank you.” The woman in her 30s, who looked like a supermodel in a s.e.xy dress, nodded towards the teenage boy.
The teen nodded. He pressed all the floor buttons requested and then turned to his girlfriend. ”Which floor then?”
”10th floor,” said the girl. The young man nodded and pressed the button on the said floor. The girl then remembered something and asked her friend. ”Is Goose still not giving news?”
Instantly Marie was stunned to hear her nickname on Darknet being talked about like this.
She glanced over and looked at the two teenagers. Ahh ... could this be one of her clients? She only had one young client, Haoran Lee.
Is this him?
Marie was happy to help the young man because they had the same fate. They loved their mother very much, but while Marie's mother passed away six years ago, Haoran was separated from his mother by his jerk father. That's why Marie was very kind to Haoran and tried to help him as much as she could.
She immediately opened her cellphone to send an SMS to Haoran to ask him not to discuss her name in the open.
Marie was avoiding powerful enemies, and she didn't want the two teenagers involved. She could bear to see them being targeted by the people who were after her ... because she wouldn't be able to protect them. She had enough problems to keep her busy.
Haoran shook his head at the question of his girlfriend. ”Not yet. Maybe she is very busy. But you can check yourself later, who knows, she might send something this morning.”
”All right. Tenth floor, then,” the girl finally replied. The elevator moved up, and no one was talking. After arriving on the tenth floor, the pair of teenagers came out of the elevator without realizing that the Goose they were talking about was actually standing a meter away from them earlier.
[Kids, please do not mention my name in public. You don't know who might be listening. The walls have ears. Sorry, I can't help much this time. Good luck to you, guys!]
DING
Finally, the elevator door opened on the 20th floor.
Marie rushed out of the elevator and into the restaurant. She raised her cellphone to her ear and prepared to call the man who had found her child.
”Hello, I'm at the restaurant,” Marie said.
”Summer and I will go to the restaurant entrance to pick you up. Please wait there,” came the answer from the man.
Marie stood in front of the entrance while playing with her nails. She was anxious.
Five minutes later...
”Mamaaan .. !!”
Marie immediately turned toward the hallway when she heard her daughter's voice. She had been missing that voice so much. Apparently, Summer and her savior just came out from the elevator.
She walked while removing her sunglasses and placed them on her shirt. Unknowingly, tears dripped down from her eyes. Marie pulled the scarf from over her neck to wipe away her tears, which somehow flowed harder and now had even began to blur her vision.
”My dear baby...” she called Summer with a choked voice.
Her c.h.e.s.t felt very relieved when she saw Summer's figure walking eagerly towards her.
When she heard Marie's voice, Summer immediately ran to her while Marie quickened her pace. She couldn't wait to hug her daughter.
Meanwhile, Nicolae, who was holding Summer's hand, chased the little girl running toward her mother.
The three met in the middle a few seconds later.
