When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 168: President Lancaster Almost Misunderstood Again

Nancy quickly replied, "Okay."

However, the CEO still had no intention of letting her go.

That cold gaze continued to fixate on her, "If you can’t handle it, hire an assistant."

"..." She hung her head, too afraid to speak further. Hiring an assistant would mean increasing expenses, right? She was really afraid it would be deducted from her salary.

Until Adrian Lancaster told her, "You can go now, remember what I said today."

"Please be assured, President Lancaster, I’ll definitely not ask Faye Turner to sign off on anything again!" Nancy promised once more, then quickly turned and escaped!

Today, Faye Turner didn’t work overtime. She had just walked out of the company’s lobby when Uncle Lane was already waiting, as usual, opening the car door for her, "Miss Turner."

She didn’t get in the car and smiled, "Uncle Lane, I have something to do tonight, you go ahead, don’t worry about me."

After speaking, she went to the roadside to hail a taxi.

Uncle Lane just watched her get into a cab, then took out his phone and dialed Adrian Lancaster’s number...

After hearing Uncle Lane’s report, Adrian Lancaster, who was still in the office, immediately showed a cold expression.

After hanging up, his deep eyes were like an ancient galaxy, mixed with displeasure!

Because he thought she’d been asked out by Jamil!

Soon, the taxi stopped outside a street restaurant near Goldspring Middle School, and Faye scanned to pay and got off.

As she walked into the restaurant, she saw her brother Milo Turner, who had already secured a spot in the bustling store.

"Sis!" The boy waved at her.

Faye walked over to him, casually touched his head, and then sat down beside him, "How are you? Have you been feeling okay lately?"

"Just so-so." He seemed to lack interest and changed topics, "I ordered some skewers, a mix of meat and veggies, do you want anything else?"

"No need, I just came to sit with you." Since their last parting at school, the siblings hadn’t seen each other.

She only managed to find time today.

"Milo, has anyone else bullied you at school?" She asked worriedly, "How was that director’s son dealt with?"

The boy shook his head, "He was expelled, and no one dares to mention me. But Dad called me once."

"What did he want?"

"He’s asking for money." Milo Turner appeared to be under a lot of stress, looking rather downcast.

Hearing this enraged Faye Turner—

"That’s too awful! They’re pressing you! You’re about to take your college entrance exams, how can he be so heartless?"

"It’s alright, don’t worry too much." The boy lifted his gaze, "He doesn’t know where I’m going to school, I just received his call, that’s all."

"Grilled skewers for table 3 are ready! Come and get them!" The owner shouted as he busily worked not far away.

"I’ll go." Faye Turner stood up and walked over there.

Just as she stepped away, the phone on the table began to ring.

Milo Turner picked it up and saw it was brother-in-law calling.

So, he glanced at his sister’s back, fearing it might be urgent, and slid to answer—

"Hello, brother-in-law."

As soon as Milo Turner spoke, the anger in Adrian Lancaster’s heart immediately dissipated—it wasn’t with Jamil?

"Oh, is this Milo?" Adrian Lancaster’s voice was relatively gentle, "Why is your sister’s phone with you?" He wanted to confirm.

"We’re at a street restaurant outside the school, planning to eat and chat. She went to get the skewers, and the phone was on the table. She’ll be back in a bit. Do you need her for something?"

"No." Adrian Lancaster was at a loss for words.

"Then... would you like to join us?" Before the other party hung up, Milo Turner extended the invitation to him.
