Chapter 742 Spin-off: Louis and Jane's Story
As the largest and most famous commercial building in Odonstin, Angel House has always been agiant in people's minds. But today, those high-level executives who used to stand high above themasses are now standing nervously at the door, as if waiting for someone important.
Mr. Lawrence stood at the forefront of the crowd, occasionally looking at his watch and then gazinginto the distance.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he excitedly pounded his palm. "Here they come! Everyone get ready!"
A stretched Rolls-Royce drove up to the intersection and stopped steadily in front of everyone.
The black-clad bodyguards respectfully opened the car door, revealing a tall figure that descendedlike a god from heaven. His slender body was wrapped in a sharp suit with deep features.Especially those blue eyes - one glance could make people involuntarily sink into them.
It took Mr. Lawrence several seconds to react before he realized what was happening and walkedup excitedly. "Mr. Louis, welcome! I am Mr. Lawrence, general manager of Angel House."
Louis responded indifferently while Mr. Lawrence continued to smile brightly.
The reason why Mr. Lawrence showed so much respect towards Louis was that Louis controlled theeconomic lifeline in Z Country.
Louis remained indifferent towards those present around him; he had met too many such smarmyguys before.
He came here only because Odonstin was indeed worth investing into. Even though it wasn't thatbig, it still presented some opportunities which were hard to ignore.
Louis strolled leisurely through the mall like walking through his back garden. His every moveexuded elegance that kept strangers away from him.novelbin
Mr. Lawrence followed closely behind him eagerly introducing everything about Angel House.
When they passed by a clothing store name "JANE", Louis glanced at it and became lost in thought.
JANE, a very simple name, yet it seemed like a knife that stabbed into Louis' heart, causing somuch pain.
Louis pursed his lips and suppressed the emotions welling up inside him. He continued walkingforward, but unexpectedly, he collided with something around the corner.
Bang!
"Ouch..." a childish voice whined.
Louis looked down and saw a tiny girl in a doll outfit, who was shorter than his legs, sitting on theground. The doll's head had fallen off due to the impact of her fall, revealing a little girl with twosmall buns on her head and soft cheeks that were slightly rosy from being suffocated under thehood for too long.
She clumsily tried to stand up but couldn't because of how heavy her costume was.
Gradually, tears welled up in her eyes as she became more upset.
The little girl looked up for help and when she saw Louis standing there, she froze momentarily.
This uncle is so handsome!
His eyes are blue like the color of the ocean her mommy once talked about.
The little girl's innocent eyes were as pure as newborn deer's; they were wet as she gazed at him.
At that moment, Louis' usually cold heart softened.
He didn't want to make things difficult for such a young child, but Mr. Lawrence standing nearbythought differently.
Mr. Lawrence was terrified by this sudden collision caused by this young child; he quickly steppedforward and shouted at her, "Where did you come from? You're so reckless! You've disturbed ourguest. Can you afford to compensate?"
Louis instinctively furrowed his brows; he disliked people shouting loudly in front of him whilepretending to be tough or intimidating others.
Just when he was about to speak out against it, an oversized teddy bear rushed over from nearby.
"Vivian!"
The oversized teddy bear moved nimbly enough. When it picked up Vivian and made sure Vivianwas fine, it protected the girl behind it and shouted, "A group of adults are bullying a kid? Aren't youshameful?"
Louis could only tell that it was a woman speaking, whose voice sounded somewhat familiar.
Since she wore a hood that muffled her voice, it was difficult for him to hear clearly what she said.
He furrowed his eyebrows slightly and ignored the feeling of familiarity since he didn't know anyonein this unfamiliar city.
