Chapter 336
Aaron said, “I don’t remember.
Aveline’s confusion deepened, though she struggled to identify its source.
“Alright, I understand,” she replied, then promptly hung up.
Aaron looked at his phone, handed it back to Lucas, and sneered. “She didn’t mention you at all.”
Lucas‘ expression grew darker. “Do you have nothing better to do?”
Aaron nodded. “Indeed.”
Lucas narrowed his eyes dangerously, a chilling aura directed at Aaron as if he wanted to kill him.
Aaron stood up and said, “Your wife didn’t mention you. Why are you glaring at me? If you have the guts, go settle it with her.”
With that, he turned and left.
Lucas leaned back, tugging at his tie in frustration.
She called just to talk to Aaron?
When did she start seeking Aaron for help?
It seemed he couldn’t let Aaron stay idle.
Nor could he let Aveline stay too free.
He took out his phone and made a call, “I’ll give you some money. Register a company and hire Aveline.”
The voice on the other end was lazy. “Boss, I’m on vacation..
“I decide whether you get a vacation or not,” Lucas replied coldly.
The other party was speechless.
Aveline clutched her phone, feeling uneasy, but she didn’t know where Selena was and could only sigh helplessly.

Maria’s cheerful voice came through, “Miss Young? I hope I’m not overstepping, but I can’t shake the feeling we clicked. Do you have time for a cup of coffee?”
Aveline was taken aback. She and Maria were strangers. Why this sudden invitation for coffee?
“Miss Cooper, I’m not one to beat around the bush. What can I help you with?” Aveline asked.
Maria sighed helplessly. “I want to open a studio and I’m looking for a location, but I’m not familiar with Cloudflare City. I was hoping you could help me look at some sites.”

She paused, then added, “Don’t worry, I won’t let you do it for nothing. I’ll treat
Aveline relaxed. So that was it.
to a meal!”
“Alright, but I’m not from Cloudflare City either. I might not be much help. Aveline warned.
“Why don’t we give it a shot first?” Maria replied.
Aveline agreed, and they arranged a meeting place before hanging up.
She wasn’t afraid Maria would harm her. She knew Brian was still secretly following her. Otherwise, how could Lucas know her whereabouts so clearly?
After tidying up a bit, Aveline set off.
Fifteen minutes later, she arrived at the base of an office building and spotted Maria from afar. She was beautiful, her curly hair cascading over her shoulders, her demeanor lazy like a pedigreed cat.
“Miss Cooper,” Aveline greeted with a smile as she walked over.
