Chapter 215
Linden followed closely behind Barclay, hardly daring to breathe, fearing he might be implicated.
Unexpectedly, Barclay stopped abruptly and said, “Linden.”
Linden was taken aback, clutching his files as he approached. “Mr. Covington?”
Barclay said, “Cynthia’s birthday is tonight. Prepare a gift and place it on my desk in two hours.”
Linden prepared himself for criticism, but Barclay’s request caught him off guard.
He asked a foolish question, “Mr. Covington, should I let Mrs. Covington know about this?”
Immediately, he regretted it.
Even if Barclay engaged in such a morally dubious behavior, Linden should have ignored it as a secretary.
Barclay stared at him with his piercing gaze. “What do you think, Linden?”
Linden was stunned. How could he answer such a question?
To be honest, Linden still didn’t understand what Barclay’s intentions were towards Moira.
Barclay spent over 80 million dollars on the Ethereal effortlessly. When he heard that Eric went to find Moira, he immediately left important clients to rush back.
These signs indicated that Barclay cared deeply about Moira.
But having been by Barclay’s side for many years, Linden dared to assert that there was hardly any contact between him and Moira before
that accident.
Could one fall in love so deeply without much contact? Was the power of love at first sight so strong?
However, it didn’t seem like Barclay would fall in love at first sight.
Linden thought all the possibilities and tentatively said, “I think Mrs. Covington should be informed. What do you think, Mr. Covington?”
Barclay glanced at him. “Why are you still asking if you know the answer?”
With that, Barclay entered the elevator.
Linden wiped his forehead, feeling like he had just been through a life–or–death situation. It was terrifying!
Preparing a thoughtful birthday gift within three hours might be difficult for Moira, but it was no trouble for the capable Linden.
Barclay said to have the gift on his desk by half past five, and Linden had already placed the well–packaged gift on Barclay’s desk by five
o’clock.
Linden said, “Mr. Covington, this is the birthday gift I prepared for Ms. Hurst, the latest diamond–patterned bag from a famous brand.”
Barclay didn’t care about the gift. After all, Linden would choose appropriately. “Understood.”
Upon hearing this, Linden tactfully exited the office.

Chapter 215
Twenty minutes later, Barclay left the office with the bag and drove back to his villa.
Moira didn’t expect Barclay to return so soon. She was only halfway through doing her makeup when she heard a knock on the door. Her hand shook, causing her false eyelashes to stick on incorrectly.
She had no choice but to throw them away and get up to open the door.
Unsurprisingly, it was Barclay. He handed her the bag as if fulfilling a duty. “This is for
Cynthia’s gift!”
Moira took the bag and genuinely praised, “Wow, Mr. Covington, you’re
mazing!”
Barclay said, “It was prepared by Linden.”
Moira was taken aback but continued her flattery. “Oh, you have a great secretary. You’re amazing!”

It must be said that Barclay was indeed pleased. He said, “You can continue your makeup. Let me know when you’re ready.”
“Okay, I’ll be ready soon!” Moira nodded.
She decided to skip the false eyelashes and just touch up her makeup!
Moira nodded and was about to turn back to her room when Barclay stopped her. “Wait.”
She asked, “What’s wrong?” Was the gift wrong?
Barclay replied, “There’s something on your eyelid.”
With that, Moira felt a warmth on her eyelid. Before she could react, a quarter of a false eyelash appeared in front of her eyes.
It was quite embarrassing!
