Love's New Bloom

Chapter 44 Tracking

“Too bad you don’t dare to come out to the public and can only secretly be with your lover.” Chandler pulled open an exquisite drawer next to the sofa and took out the cigar box. He opened the box and asked Angela. “Cigar?”

She thought for a while before saying. “I’ll take one. I haven’t had one in ages. My lover has been making a fuss recently, complaining that I’m not out with my parents and that she has to live in the shadows. Fuck me. I almost choked her to death.”

Chandler prepared the cigar and handed it to her. He said with a hint of lease in his voice, “I don’t think I’ll understand your world, so I can’t give you any good advice. If you need help, you know where to find me.”

“It’s fine. Let’s not talk about her anymore. Once I’m free, I’ll take her to Eupath for a long holiday. She’ll naturally feel better.” Angela

continued, “Let’s talk about you instead. Why don’t you look for someone simpler? Is a divorced woman really that great?” She lit the cigar and gently inhaled.

“She suits me.”

“Oh, in which aspect?” Angela’s interest was piqued.

Chandler chuckled openly. “Every aspect.”

Angela said nothing but rolled her eyes at him. Half a minute later, she suddenly thought of something and said. “Yesterday, your lady- friend neighbor came to look for me. She said she was preparing a gift for you and asked me what you liked. I told her to be the gift and give herself to you.”

Chandler suddenly looked at her. “Did you really say that?” he asked, displeased.

Angela tutted before sighing. “Do you think I’ll dare? If I were to say that, you’d probably beat me to a pulp! I told her you don’t lack anything material–wise, so I told her to think of something else. She said she wanted to bake you something-” Her eyes suddenly widened. “Damn, I accidentally told you! When you receive her gift, you have to pretend to be surprised! If not, I’m afraid she’ll come after

me.”

Chandler chuckled and said nothing. Angela suddenly said thoughtfully. “She has already broken up with Matthew. Why are you not swooping in?”

Chandler puffed out smoke and said calmly. “Unless she completely forgets about him, I’m not going to be her backup.”

With the cigar in her mouth, Angela gently applauded Chandler. Her eyes were filled with praise. “This is the Chandler I know! You have guts! This girl Claire, is still mourning her breakup. She must surely still be thinking about Matthew. If he were to return to get back together with her, she would surely say yes!” Angela looked serious and said, “Logan and I, along with the others, are of the same opinion. We don’t think it’d be good for you to pursue Claire right now. As for Sean, you can ignore his advice.”

On the contrary, it piqued Chandler’s interest. He raised an eyebrow and asked, “What did Sean say?”

“He said we’ll talk about it after he gets you the opportunity to sleep with Claire. He said she is just second–hand goods, and there’s nothing to pity her about…”

Angela suddenly shut her mouth and looked at Chandler worriedly. After all, Chandler’s friends were uncertain about how important Claire was to him. She never thought that Chandler didn’t get angry. He merely looked distracted.

Angela might be talking about Claire, but all he could think of was Erin’s frightened yet defiant gaze. He even chuckled without knowing.

Angela was stunned. She had never seen Chandler like that before. She asked, “What are you laughing about?”

Chandler looked at her. “Was I laughing? But you’re right about Sean. He really is a playboy. I’ve heard that his grandfather is furious with him. We’re about to see Sean going on arranged blind dates.”

“Hahaha! If he were really forced to go on blind dates, it must be worse than death for him!”

They casually chatted for a while, then Angela left his office. The moment she left, Chandler called using the internal line, and Kyle soon entered his office.

“Mr. Frost, you wanted to see me?”

Chandler looked at the lunch set, which had already turned cold on the coffee table. He looked at Kyle and said, “Throw them away. Also, go and see where Erin is and why she never came up!” Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Kyle politely replied, “Mr. Frost. I was about to tell you this, but Ms. Wood kept me from…”

“It’s fine. You can tell me now.”

*Five minutes ago, Hans called to tell me Miss Lane had left the office. He’s currently following the taxi that she took.”

A hint of suspicion flashed across Chandler’s eyes. He instructed Kyle. “Get Hans to continue tracking her. Get him to report to me directly. if anything happens.”

“Yes, Mr. Frost.”

Erin was currently on her way to the airport. She had previously called Holly to tell her about her parents. Holly had agreed to loan her the money and even offered to accompany her to Aunders to get her parents back.

They agreed to meet at the airport.

Forty minutes later, Erin arrived at the airport. She paid the taxi driver and immediately got out of the car, looking for entrance No. 8. Holly was already there waiting for her.

“Erin!” Holly was by the entrance, and she quickly walked over to Erin.

Erin smiled and ran over. She opened her arms wide to hug Holly tightly while thanking Holly at the same time. “Thank you, Holly! Thank you for helping me! I really had no one else I could turn to!”

Holly gently patted her back, comforting her, “Silly, you don’t need to thank me! It’s not like I’m giving you the money for free. You’ll still

have to pay me back when you have the money.”

Erin let her go and chuckled at Holly’s reaction. “Okay.”

“Alright, let’s go. It’s almost time.”

Holly held Erin’s hand, and they walked over to the domestic flights‘ departure gates.

Hans, who was tailing Erin all this while, followed them. He put on a black denim cap and followed them to the security check. Since he didn’t buy a ticket, he could not follow them in, so he could only call Chandler to report the situation.

Chandler picked his phone up after two rings. Hans said monotonously, “Mr. Frost, Miss Lane and her friend have gone past the departure

gates.”

Chandler, who was eating at that moment, sprung up. His eyes were filled with anger and confusion, “What? She’s at the airport? Where is she going?”

“I asked the information counter. They bought the earliest flight to Aunder.”

“Follow them! Why are you still asking me about this?” Chandler angrily threw his fork onto the floor, his appetite completely gone.

Hans was speechless as he felt wrongly blamed. “Alright. Mr. Frost. I’ll go and buy the flight tickets now.”

Chandler hung up and got Kyle to come to his office. He said coldly, “Kyle, go and arrange a helicopter now. Get Captain Lerner to land his helicopter on the helipad above. We’re going to Aunder.”
