Chapter 31 - Waiting
Chapter 31 Waiting
After leaving his neighborhood, Hugh Williams drove straight to the suburbs of Sky City with Cole.
Cole also knew about that area. Many wealthy people liked to buy houses there. The scenery was beautiful, and the mountains and the sea beside it were only advantages. Naturally, they could see everything.
However, the prices were something ordinary people could not afford. Ordinary houses in Sky City already cost a million dollars. As for the suburbs, the houses there cost over two million dollars.
Even so, countless people still enthusiastically pursued the hope of purchasing houses there.
***
Under the night sky!
Hugh parked the car in front of a three-story villa.
The villa’s western-style renovation was elegant and noble. When Cole looked at it, he could see that the second and third floors were still lit, reflecting the moonlight. After stopping the car, Hugh got out and opened the car door for Cole. Then, he stood at the side and bowed. “I hope Mr. Stone doesn’t mind. Although this place is a little small, the location is remote and will not easily attract attention. That’s why Miss chose this place.”
Cole: “…”
Are you calling a villa that covers 1080 square feet in Sky City small?
You might, perhaps, probably…
Does he have a misunderstanding about the word “small”?
“No worries!”
Cole held it in for a long time before saying, “The scenery here is gorgeous. The conditions are excellent.”
Hugh smiled. “That’s good.”
He continued, “Then, Mr. Stone, please go in. Miss is waiting for you inside.”
The words stunned Cole. “Uncle Williams, aren’t you going in?”
Hugh shook his head and said with a teasing smile, “My wife told me that I can’t be Miss’s third wheel.”
Cole touched his nose and laughed dryly. “Fine.”
Since Hugh did not plan to go in, Cole did not insist on it. Instead, he walked straight into the villa.
The door to the villa was ajar.
After walking into the first floor of the villa, Cole could see that the lights were actually on this floor as well.
They were brightly lit.
The television in the living room on the first floor was on, melodious music playing on it.
Cole could not help but laugh.
Don’t all rich people have gramophones? Cara Williams is actually so down-to-earth, playing music on DVDs.
On one side of the living room was a tall floor-to-ceiling window. Through the floor-to-ceiling window, Cole could see that behind the villa was a field. Beside the field was a swimming pool that occupied a small area. The pool was empty.
Presumably, Cara was not interested in swimming at this time.
This sight left Cole speechless again.
Is this where the wealthy people of Sky City live?
There were quite a number of such houses back in his hometown. After all, the tourism industry there was not bad. However, to be able to renovate so willfully in Sky City, one could only be a wealthy person with a net worth of more than billions of dollars.
Cole recalled how Hugh Williams had mentioned the villa as “small.”
He could not help but fall silent again.
Just then…
“Go wait in the room beside me. I’ll be down soon.”
A faint voice rang out.
It was Cara Williams. Cole was stunned. He sized up a small room behind the living room and asked on the second floor, “Is it this room?”
“There’s only one,” Cara answered.
Cole obediently walked in.
Although he did not know what Cara wanted to do, she had to have invited him here for something important.
He opened the door to the room. Inside the room were only a table and a chair.
On the table was a small red box.
Cole did not move. He just sat in her chair and waited quietly.
During this process, he looked out of the window from time to time.
This was a villa district, so he could see other villas outside. However, it was possible that no one was staying there now. None of the rooms were lit.
Time passed quietly.
Cole looked down.
11: 30 pm.
It stunned him.
He had waited forty minutes.
Cole was flustered. Did something happen to
Cara?
However, hearing the occasional sound coming from upstairs, Cole did not have the intention to go up and investigate. Perhaps, Cara has something to attend to.
This wait lasted for another half an hour.
Soon, midnight arrived.
Cole was bored and confused.
Waiting aimlessly was torturous.
Although Cole would not be impatient, he was still a little confused…
What is she doing?
Just then.
“Open the door.”
A faint voice came from outside the door.
Cara Williams!
Hearing the voice, Cole stood up and opened the door.
At the same time, he subconsciously asked the question he had in his heart, “Miss Williams, why did you call for me?”
“Can’t I call for you even if there’s nothing?”
Cara’s voice was still a little lazy.
She looked nonchalant. This looked familiar.
Cole’s eyes widened slightly.
He had been in close contact with this voice on the phone for the past few days.
However, other than the meeting at the Williams Corporation, today was the only other time he had met her.
Cole was inexplicably excited.
The door opened completely.
A devastatingly beautiful face entered his vision.
Her dress was tight and outlined her curves. Her skin was fair like jade.
What attracted Cole’s attention was Cara’s
gaze.
Her eyes glistened in the autumn water.
“Miss… Miss Williams…”
Cole greeted her.
Cara looked at him.
“How long do you plan to let me stand here?”
