Chapter 57: Chapter 57: Keeping promises is a basic quality

Chapter 57

As Alexander Foster passed the main gate, the security guard bowed and greeted him.

He responded with a simple sentence: "Do your job well."

The security guard shuddered, realizing his mistake, and hurriedly stopped Raine Nolan, "Miss Nolan, do you have an appointment?"

Raine felt embarrassed and watched as Alexander walked further away. Anxiously, she said, "I’m friends with Miss Cherry Foster and Young Master Cain Foster, and my cousin Chloe Collins lives here too. Plus, I even work at Edgar Foster’s company. Are appointments still needed?"

The security guard stood straight, "I’m sorry, Miss Nolan, but the rules are strict. I have no other choice."

Raine had no choice but to call Cherry Foster.

After finally being permitted to enter, Raine was stopped by another group of staff members inside.

They told her that the door to the east wing required an appointment too and would not let her in without one.

So she reluctantly went to the west wing to find Cherry Foster.

Chloe Collins loved running in the fresh morning air.

She bicycled to the riverside and ran several laps before finally stopping.

Taking a towel from Heijii, she wiped her sweat while asking, "Is everything prepared?"

Heijii nodded, "Everything’s ready. As long as Alexander Foster shows up on time, it’ll work out."

Chloe handed him the towel and said, "I’ll go take a shower. I’m expecting breakfast from the Skyrise Diner."

Heijii smiled, "I’m well aware of your preferences, and everything is already set. Go ahead, shower, and you’ll be able to eat when you’re done."

She smiled, "You’re quite clever."

"Of course, I am! How could I not be while working under your wing? The others are eyeing my position, trying to take it from me," Heijii said while brushing back his hair with confidence.

Chloe didn’t pay him any mind and entered the villa through a tree-lined path.

Heijii quickly caught up with her, then hesitated for a moment before asking, "Boss, do you really plan on letting Alexander Foster meet Miles White? You hid him so well before, and Alexander doesn’t seem like a good person."

Chloe was drinking water, but casually responded, "Keeping one’s word is a basic virtue in life."

Heijii silently gave her a thumbs-up.

"I’m going to take a shower. Keep an eye on this place and don’t let the neighbor’s children come over."

"I got it, Boss."

Heijii took a chair and sat down in the courtyard.

In the courtyard, a four-cornered pavilion was built according to Chloe’s preferences, complete with a marble table. She could drink tea, read books, play chess, or write in this space.

Although their boss was just an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl, she was more experienced and reliable in many ways than Heijii, a single man in his twenties.

Feeling admiration, he needed to study and learn from her.

So, the next moment, he took out his phone to scroll through short videos.

As he scrolled, his eyes narrowed.

He suddenly shifted backward.

Gracefully evading a flying stone.

He turned his head and immediately saw a child with a slingshot, giggling mischievously.

No, there were two of them.

Heijii stood up, "Hey kids, don’t hit people! Go play somewhere else."

The villas here were separated by simple flower beds as walls, offering minimal privacy.

Not very useful.

A family had recently moved in next door, with quite a few noisy children.

Last time, they had come over and taken Chloe’s things away. They even brought their dog to defecate and urinate in their yard.

The children’s parents didn’t seem to care.

Heijii had adopted some aggressive tactics, pretending to pick up weapons to teach them a lesson, which finally scared them away.
