Female Novel
Chapter 2742
After the two exited the car, they walked directly into the office building.
Zoey followed Charlie, and asked in a nervous voice, “Do you know where my dad’s office is? I haven’tbeen here before.”
Charlie nodded, “Yes, you can just follow me with confidence.”
At this time, Mr. Riley paced back and forth in his office.
His only daughter was far away in Syria, and whether she was alive or dead was unclear.
He was very worried, and Charlie hadn’t reported any clear progress.
He didn’t not know whether his daughter would escape this disaster.
Because of the worry in his heart, Mr. Riley repeatedly lost his focus and made mistakes during hisclass today.
He felt that his spirit had been strained to the limit.
If there is no news from his daughter today, he could only ask for temporary leave from the university,and then go to Syria himself.
He knew that he would be unable to save his daughter, and may not even be able to reach the placewhere his daughter is held hostage.
But he still hoped to at least be closer in proximity to his daughter.
In that way, he can find some kind of consolation in his heart.
Just as he was restlessly pacing, a knock on the door suddenly rang through his office.
His chaotic thoughts were forcibly interrupted, so he walked to the door and stretched out his hand toopen it.
As soon as the door opened, he saw a young and fashionable woman standing outside, but the womanwas wearing a mask.
He did not see her looks, so he asked in surprise, “Hello, what can I do for you?”
Mr. Riley did not recognize his daughter standing before him.
This is not to say how estranged he and his daughter are, but in his memory his daughter didn’t wearsuch fashionable and feminine clothes.
Usually Zoey, although not a tomboy, dressed simply and plainly, and rarely wore skirts.
Because she graduated from Stanford University, her style of dressing is almost the same as those ofSilicon Valley programmers.
In the summer it was T-shirts and jeans, while in the winter it’s a sweater and down jacket with jeans.
But the girl in front of him, at first glance, looked to be the kind who was very elegant and cared aboutwhat she wore, and was not at all in line with Zoey’s day to day style.
Besides, he didn’t think it was his daughter anyways.
After all, in his mind, his daughter was in Syria, thousands of kilometers away.
It would be impossible for her to suddenly come to him.
Zoey didn’t expect that her father really didn’t recognize her.
She stared at Mr. Riley up and down, a look of surprise in her eyes while trying to hint it at her father
However, Mr. Riley was not in the mood at all, though carefully trying to figure out the meaning in hereyes.
Seeing the girl in front of him staring at him but not speaking, Mr. Riley didn’t have the patience tocontinue spending time here, and directly said, “If there is nothing wrong, please leave.”novelbin
After speaking, he closed the door directly.
Zoey stood outside the door, dumbstruck.
She’d never dreamt that her dad wouldn’t recognize her just by wearing a mask.
Not only didn’t he recognize her, but he actually closed the door!
Charlie, who was leaning against a wall, looked at her with a smile, and asked in a low voice, “So,how’d it go?”
Zoey said angrily, “Big deal, I’ll just treat you to dinner tonight!”
Charlie waved his hand, “Not tonight.
I have to go home tonight.
My wife is still waiting for me to return.”
Zoey asked in surprise, “You… You’re married?”
Charlie nodded, “I have been married for four years.”
Zoey suddenly felt a little empty in her heart, but she adjusted it quickly and said, “Well, we’ll discussthe meal another day.
Anyway, I will be staying in Aurous Hills to work for you in the future, and I can honor the bet at anytime.”
Charlie smiled slightly, “Okay, remember this meal first.”
He then pointed to the door of Mr. Riley’s office and smiled, “Would you like to give your dad anotherchance?”
Zoey raised her hand in anger and knocked on the door again.
Knock knock knock.
Inside his office, Mr. Riley stood, a little irritated.
He opened the door with a bit of sullenness.
Seeing that it was still the girl, he asked, “What is the matter with you?”
Zoey stomped angrily, took off the mask directly, and blurted out: “John Riley! You can’t even recognizeyour own daughter!?”
