Lord Protector Novel

Chapter 65 How Does Your Best Friend Look Like

Emily searched for Susan's contact number after she hung up her mother's call.

She was extremely anxious deep down because Susan had yet to give her the doctor's contact number.

Emily had no idea if Susan didn't have it, or if she didn't want to give it to her.

Emily had faith in herself. As long as she could get her hands on the doctor's contact number, she would be able to conquer him with her charm. She planned to get him to be one of the attending physicians at her mother's clinic. Their business would definitely be a big hit with his aid. Hence, Emily was determined to buy Susan a meal and attempt to get the doctor's contact number again.

Meanwhile, in the workshop of the steel mill.

Zeke followed Lacey's instructions and kept an eye on the production of steels. Suddenly, he received a call from the woman.

"Zeke, my best friend wants to drop by the steel mill, but she has no idea how."

"I'm not feeling well. Can you please go and get her on my behalf?"

"Sure. May I know how your best friend looks like?" asked Zeke.

Lacey was enraged by his words.

"Zeke, you heartless man!"

"You don't care that I'm not feeling well, and you want to know how my best friend looks like instead?"

"Hmph! Get out of my sight in the future!"

Zeke was speechless because he felt as though it was a deliberate set up to take him by surprise.

It's tough to maintain a relationship...

Zeke was exhausted. He decided to head over to Lacey's office and apologize for what he did.

"Lacey, it's my fault. I should have been concerned about you first..." said Zeke.

Lacey replied half-heartedly, "My best friend drives a Lavida with the license plate number ending with five-two-eight." "Go get her immediately and get rid of the bag of trash over there as you make your way out."

"I'll deal with you at a later time."

She pointed at the bag of steel scraps outside of her office.

Zeke's lips curled upward as he took a peek at the bag of trash.

He had already figured out what Lacey was up to by then.

"Sure," answered Zeke without any hesitation. He reached for the bag of trash and lifted it as he marched out of her office.

Lacey's eyes widened all of a sudden because it was a bag of steel scrap.

That bag of trash was at least three hundred pounds.

Lacey thought Zeke wouldn't be able to move it on his own. She decided to set him up because of what he did to irritate her back in the day. She was hoping to be able to laugh at him. However, he lifted it effortlessly in front of her.

"He's so strong!" Suddenly, Lacey blushed as she recalled something.

Zeke lifted the bag of trash and reached the steel mill's RORO bin.

Before he could get rid of the trash, a Ferrari 488 stopped beside him.

Evan Schneider, the owner of the top conglomerate in Oakheart City, got out of the car. He was dumbfounded when he saw Zeke.

The rich and powerful Great Marshal...

He's actually taking out the trash on his own?

I'm not seeing things, right?

Zeke rolled his eyes and looked at Evan's gobsmacked face. "I believe that's enough."

Evan finally returned to his senses and bowed immediately. "Mr. Williams, I'm here to offer Ms. Lacey some money."

"We'll buy the ten-hectare plot of land newly gained by Ms. Lacey for ten million. What do you think?"

Evan knew the Schneider family would eventually belong to Lacey.

No matter how much his offer would be, it was actually pointless because it was merely changing hands between the same owner.

However, he knew Zeke had no intention to unveil his actual wealth at the moment. Hence, he decided to offer ten million out of courtesy.

Ten million was considered a lot; it actually made sense.

Zeke nodded. "Just about right. Where's the money?"

Evan replied, "It's in the trunk of the car."

"Oh, right! Mr. Williams, it seems like the car Ms. Lacey has is relatively old. This car is for her as well."

Zeke shook her head. "No need for that."

"I want to get Lacey her house and car on my own because I want her to remember me."

"Leave the money behind and bring the car away."

Evan nodded. "Erm... Okay."

He opened the trunk of the car after he finished his sentence.

A whole bunch of cash could be found in the trunk of the car.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
