Chapter 287
In the Arnold Corporation’s office, Ethan had many photos on his desk. They captured moments ofMadelyn and Zach holding hands as they exited The Deli, and also the scene in the mall where hehelped her put on the necklace.
Additionally, Ethan knew that they had spent an hour in the car. Although its windows being tintedenough to prevent prying eyes from seeing inside, it wasn’t hard to tell what they were doing during thathour.
Ethan asked, “Lately, Azure Corporation has secured a few projects, right?”
Leyton responded, “Not many, but these projects are quite important collaborations for AzureCorporation. Zach Jardin has been handling only the major ones, while his assistant, Kevin Harrison, isoverseeing the rest.”
“Hayson isn’t around, and he’s probably enjoying the free time. You should approach a few morecompanies to partner with Azure Corporation.”
“If I do that, won’t that be paving the way for the Jent family?”
“It’s just some inconspicuous collaborations. We can use this money to pacify them. Projects worth afew hundred thousand aren’t worth much to Arnold Corporation anyway.”novelbin
“Understood. I’ll get on it right away!” Leyton thought to himself, ‘Mr. Arnold is practically deliveringmoney to the Jent family’s doorstep for the sake of Miss Jent.”
Several days passed, and the next day was a weekend. Even though Ethan was usually busy withwork, he had time to relax.
Ethan woke up at six-thirty in the morning for a jog while Madelyn was still fast asleep.
Around eight o’clock, she finally woke up. She had gone to bed early last night, as she had to attend agolf training session at Supreme World today.
Her slightly curled long hair was casually brushed with her fingers, and with a hair tie in her mouth, sheheaded downstairs to find Ethan in white sportswear. He tipped his head back to drink water and tookthe towel a servant handed him to wipe the sweat off his face.
Seeing her coming down from upstairs, Ethan exchanged a glance with the servant by his side.Understanding the unspoken signal, the servant headed to the kitchen and brought out a table full ofbreakfast.
There were creamy oatmeal, flaky croissants, and scrambled eggs.
Madelyn used a clip to secure her hair, pulling it up into a bun at the back of her head.
“Good morning.”
Ethan offered a faint smile. “Good morning. Did you sleep well?”
Madelyn nodded. “Aren’t you working today?”
It was rare for her to see him dressed in sportswear at this time. She guessed he had just returnedfrom a jog outside.
“I haven’t spent quality time with you in a while, so I thought I’d make some time to be with you.”
There wasn’t much emotion in Madelyn’s eyes.
Apologetically, she said, “I have a golf class today, and I can’t cancel it. I’m sorry.”
Tiger Irwin’s golf class was indeed quite expensive. She felt bad wasting it like this.
Ethan felt a slight disappointment in his heart. “I thought we could finally have some time alonetogether…”
Sitting at the dining table, Madelyn tore a piece of croissant. “Next time. I’ve skipped the tuition. classesfor quite a while now, and I can’t afford to fall behind in Class One. Besides, my classmates are just asskilled as I am excelling. If I don’t put in the effort, I might end up at the bottom.”
“Is the academic pressure at Ventrocloud High really that heavy now?” Ethan asked.
Madelyn smiled softly. “I don’t have a talent for studying, so I have to rely on hard work. I wish I had aphotographic memory, so I wouldn’t have to do so many practice books.”
She continued, “How about you? You told me before that you were a student at my school as well.
Were you also a top student?”
“That’s all in the past; there’s no need to bring it up again.” George’s voice came from outside, and heapproached, greeting Madelyn. “Good morning, Miss Jent!”
Madelyn responded, “Good morning, George!”
