Chapter 409: Chapter 409: Hidden Nooks is going to open its third branch

Chapter 409

Alan Foster’s efforts were also quite strong, especially in the new, highly popular reality show where even the guest’s slogans were all about Grace and Elegance.

In comparison, Alexander Foster’s side was relatively quiet and didn’t have any particularly big moves.

Chloe Collins thought about it and suddenly thought of a possibility. She couldn’t help but smile and thought to herself how cunning Alexander was.

He must still be waiting for the right opportunity.

She was waiting too.

Once the opportunity arrived, she would make "All Living Things" known to everyone.

One hour later.

Charles Carrington dropped Layla Lowell off and left, seeming to have urgent matters to attend to.

Layla brought back the dishes from Hidden Nooks. The delicious aroma filled the entire room.

"This dish isn’t bad, and it’s my favorite." Layla recommended her favorite dish to Chloe.

Chloe took a bite and said, "I like them all."

She had a taste for the "Flavor of Gold" series of dishes from Hidden Nooks.

Layla said, "Actually, I think the taste of this dish is very familiar, but I’ve never been to Hidden Nooks before. This is my first time. It was Mr. Carrington who introduced it to me."

As Chloe enjoyed the food, she found time to reply, "Maybe someone brought it to you."

Layla thought back but couldn’t recall when or where. "Maybe," she said.

"Speaking of Hidden Nooks, I heard they’re opening a third branch next month at the Foster Mansion."

Chloe immediately calculated the distance from school to the Foster Mansion in her mind – not far by car, just about ten minutes or so.

"We can go there after school then."

Layla nodded, still trying to recall where she had tasted this dish before.

After thinking for a while, she couldn’t remember, so she decided to let it go.

Suddenly, she said, "You won’t believe what happened when we were eating."

Chloe was drinking her soup and didn’t look up. "What?" she asked.

Layla laughed for a while and then managed to speak calmly, "During dinner, a woman suddenly threw herself onto Mr. Carrington and started crying."

Chloe raised her eyebrows, "That’s quite sensational."

"Yes, that woman seemed to be his ex-girlfriend. She kept saying things like how much she missed him and even proposed to Mr. Carrington on the spot."

Chloe wasn’t surprised at the beginning, but she became a little curious towards the end.

"Proposed?"

"Yes, she even asked me to be her witness, but Mr. Carrington wasn’t interested in her at all. His expression was very strange at that moment. I think her current boyfriend was next to her. The man looked awful, like a pig’s liver; he walked out, and she didn’t chase him."

She picked up a shrimp as if it were a snack and continued, "I thought Mr. Carrington was in no mood to eat, so I suggested we return. On the way back, the woman was driving and following us, and it seems she’s still being blocked at the gate of the residential area."

Chloe recalled Charles’ hasty expression just now and said, "No wonder."

"I’m free this afternoon. I’ll go to the base," Layla said.

Chloe responded, "You don’t have to; heal your injuries first. Mr. Green and the others are there."

Layla felt guilty, "I can still do experiments in a wheelchair. I’ve been absent for too many days. I’m really sorry."

Her main concern was Chloe’s health.

Mr. Green had told her about Chloe’s condition during their previous times at the laboratory.

With Chloe’s health, an attack could come at any time.

But Chloe said, "You can study and review for exams."

Layla paused for a moment, then asked, "What if this experiment fails?"

"Continue researching."

Looking at Chloe’s calm expression, Layla couldn’t help but feel admiration.

If it were her experiencing such a thing, perhaps she would have collapsed long ago.

"Are you still looking for other people?"

Chloe replied, "I won’t stop looking until the day the experiment is successful."

Suddenly, Layla remembered something, "I think I heard my teacher mention that their group had a reunion after the team disbanded."
