Chapter 199
Moira knew that Barclay must have been waiting for her downstairs in the parking lot. For someone like him, who counted his earnings int roughly two thousand dollars per second, she couldn’t dare to let him wait too long!.
So, as soon as the contract was signed, she hurried to the parking lot.
She walked quickly, solely focused on getting back as soon as possible, not wanting to waste Barclay’s time.
Unexpectedly, Barclay had already come up, and she only stopped when he grabbed her arm. Moira smelled the familiar scent and looked surprisedly at Barclay, who had seemingly appeared out of nowhere. “What are you doing here?”
Moira realized her question sounded odd, which suggested Barclay shouldn’t be there.
So, she quickly corrected herself. “I didn’t mean it like that. Why did you get up here?”
Barclay, dressed casually in black, had attracted many glances on his way up.
Coupled with Moira’s outstanding beauty and appearance, the two of them standing together made passersby think they were part of some
romance movie.
“Oh my god, who’s this handsome guy? He’s so gorgeous! I’m smitten!”
“Is this for a romance movie? They are so good–looking! Haven’t seen such a high–quality couple in a while!”
“Wow, I didn’t expect to see such beautiful people while out for a stroll! Let’s take pictures!”
Moira felt helpless listening to them.
Couldn’t these women show some respect? Weren’t they afraid that their discussions would be overheard by her?
Listening to the murmurs around her, Moira’s face grew redder. “Shall we go back first?”
When Barclay had reached out to stop her earlier, Moira had almost felt like he was embracing her.
The position they were in indeed looked like a scene from a romance movie. Who would act so romantically in front of a coffee shop?
Only when she heard a girl’s voice behind her did Moira realize she was practically in Barclay’s arms.
No wonder she felt so warm! She awkwardly took a step to the side.
Then, a passerby said, “The girl is shy, how cute! Her ears are all red!”
Moira went speechless, thinking these onlookers were too much.
How could she and Barclay possibly have a sweet love story?
Barclay glanced at her. “Is the contract signed?”
Moira hurriedly said, “Yes! Let’s hurry back! I’m super tired and want to go back for a napl”

Moira tilted her head slightly, her eyes full of “desire to leave.”
Barclay smirked and said, “Alright, let’s go back.” He looked at Felix. With a slight movement, he grasped Moira’s soft hand!
Feeling her hand suddenly being held, Moira was stunned.
She instinctively looked at Barclay. Her tone became a bit awkward. “Mr. Covington?”
Why were they holding hands?
Barclay calmly explained, “Just ran into an acquaintance.”
Hearing his words, Moira immediately caught on. “Oh, I see. Should we act even more affectionate?”

Her professionalism kicked in, and she didn’t even pay attention to who Barclay referred to as an “acquaintance.” She was solely focused on portraying their “loving image” thoroughly.
Barclay raised an eyebrow and hummed lightly. “How do we act more affectionate?”
“Let’s interlock our fingers!” Moira said as she gently tried to free her hand, signaling him to let go first.
Barclay complied, releasing her hand and allowing her fingers to intertwine with his. Moira tightened her grip, and their palms touched.
Barclay looked at their tightly clasped hands and smiled faintly. “I see.”
Hearing his response, Moira couldn’t help but pity him silently. “Poor thing, he’s clueless!‘
Clearly, he had never been in a relationship before!
