Chapter 786

Upon Neera’s arrival at home, Jean asked, "How's Mrs. Hanson? What happened to Thora?"

"Mrs.’ Hanson fainted due to high blood pressure. She should be fine after getting some rest." Neera took theglass of water that Jean handed her. She took a sip and sat on the sofa.

She continued, saying, "We suspected Thora ran away from home. We haven’t heard from her since she went. Wehave sent some men to look for her. Right now, there is nothing else we can do except wait." Neera hid herfindings from Jean; she didn’t want him to get involved in this matter. Given John’s complicated background, Icouldn’t predict what kind of trouble he might get into. It’s best for him to know nothing from the beginning.

It’s difficult to tell if Jean believed in her words or not; he didn’t ask for further details. He said gently, "That’sgood to hear. It is not a big deal."

Neera was worn out; she nodded and said, "There’s no stopping the troubles since I came back. I am worriedabout Aunt Adriana, who is dealing with work from the company, and now Thora is missing. I couldn’t take itanymore."

Jean was devastated to see her tiring herself out. He said, "Should we have a date this evening? It’s time for amood change."

Neera felt better and jumped into his arms, saying, "Sure. As long as we are together."

"I will keep you company," Jean said as he gently stroked her hair while holding her in his arms.

They went out after their dinner. Ian was instructed not to follow them. Jean took Neera to a concert and a ride.Lastly, they arrived at a location where she had never been before.

"This is…" Neera gazed at the building in surprise after getting out of the car. "What brought us here? Isn’t thisJ.Y. Group?"

J.Y. Group was a well-established company in this city. I had not worked with them before as we didn’t havebusinesses in common.

Jean held her hand while glancing up. He said, "This is a branch of the Beauvort Group. I established it after Itook over the Beauvort family."

Neera was shocked beyond belief that the Beauvort Group owned this company as well. How could I not realize?She giggled, "What a coincidence! The first branch you created was located at the same place as ANXIN Group."

Jean said, "Perhaps it’s fate."

He escorted her up the stairs and to the rooftop via the elevator. The height of the building could be comparedwith the headquarters. The rooftop was turned into a miniature golf course due to its enormous space. There was ahelicopter beside the golf course. Moreover, there was a gazebo, some coffee tables, and a flower room. It wasmade of glass and covered with blossoming flowers, and a telescope had been set up to see the stars at night. Theentire rooftop was dreamy.

Neera was amazed as she walked around the rooftop. She cheered, "This is too amazing!"

She pondered, "Why does everything appear to be new here? It seems like no one has been here."

Jean smiled and said, "They are brand new. I had them set up over the past few days. I will be staying with youafter all. We need a cozy office environment. Do you like it? You can focus on your work here while I bring thekids over to keep you company."

Neera nodded while smiling. I love it! How could I not like it? He created this for me.

Neera asked playfully while pointing at the flower room, "Could we see the stars with the telescope?"

Jean said softly, "Shall we give it a try?"

They entered the flower room. Standing in front of the telescope, Neera changed the angle and peered within. Sheshouted excitedly, "Wow! It’s so lovely!"

Jean was relieved to see her getting happier. He smiled and hugged her from behind. He rested her chin on hershoulder and said, "Really? Can I have a look as well?" He went closer to her face. novelbin

Neera was stunned by how close they were. She turned red when she looked at his attractive face. She was shy,embarrassed, and flirty. She did not push him away after all.

They stayed in that posture, stargazing while chit-chatting. They flirted and had fun for the night.
