Chapter 54 A Car Rental Company (2/2)

Alan gently rubbed his thumb across Yulia's cheek, trying to wipe her tears which were trickling like a waterfall, before removing his handkerchief and wiping her face. Then he tagged her hand by the elbow and pulled her to the house. Yulia cried more when he showed her kindness and told him everything that had happened, in between hiccups and wailing. It was a wonder that Alan actually understood what she was saying. She, however, did not inform him that Jonas was carrying out an investigation on him.

”Silly girl, am I really worth quarreling and having a disagreement with your family?”

Alan had expected that this would happen at any time, but he didn't expect that it would happen so soon. Seeing that Yulia trusted him so much, Alan felt relieved.

As long as he had control over Yulia, he didn't have to worr

g his money. After getting all the procedures done, he gave Alan the key and left. He even put some business cards in the rear view mirrors of other several ordinary cars in case they would ever need his services.

It was not until Alan started the car and drove away that Melinda came out from behind a pillar aside. She picked up a business card at random. When she saw the company name on the card, she opened her eyes as wide as a marble, shocked.

A car rental company? Alan rented his car. Didn't he say that he had his own company? Moreover, he said that his company's prospect was prosperous. Why did he need to rent a car?

Melinda was lost in thought, when she heard a car horn from the left side which startled her out of her reverie. It was from the former author.

”Why did you go downstairs and we had agreed on the ground floor?”

”Sorry, I have something to deal with urgently, I don't even think I can join you guys for dinner. Please pass my apologies to the others.”

Full of doubts, Melinda just wanted to figure out the truth. Seeing that Melinda was really in a hurry, the author asked if she needed any kind of help. Melinda shook her head and only let her pass her sincere apologies to the group.

Melinda searched the location of the car rental company online and then took a taxi to their offices. The location was not big, and the cars were usually packed in the garage behind their offices.

”Miss, how can I help you? Do you need to rent a car?”

The receptionist greeted Melinda with a sweet smile. Seeing that she was dressed up in expensive clothes, the receptionist became curious. 'She must be a rich woman. Her clothes are expensive enough to buy a car. Why does she need to rent a car when she looks like she can comfortably afford her own?' the receptionist wondered.

”I want to talk to your boss about an important deal,”

Melinda spoke as if she had a wealth of money, pretending to be very rich, but in her heart, she was worried how she was going to broach the subject about Alan. The car rental company was very popular, with a lot of traffic. There were many people receiving different services.

She had planned to look for a sales clerk and ask them a lot of questions to help her investigate, but now she felt that the issue was bigger than she had originally thought and so she changed her mind temporarily.

With such a big business, everyone was busy trying to attend to all customers. Melinda soon saw the owner, a plump middle-aged man.
