Since his identity had already been exposed, Eric no longer hid. He directly said, “Ever since I came to Celandine City and held the position, I‘ve found that Celandine City has been controlled by a huge power. I’ve been thinking of ways to undermine the power, but the power behind it is too huge. I’ve been upset about not having a helper, until you appeared, Mr. Mayo…”
“I know that when you were in the Southland District, you already got rid of Art Trading Corporation’s branch company. So, I wish to establish a working relationship with you to also eradicate the evil force in Celandine City!”
Thomas smiled faintly and nodded. “Wishing us a happy collaboration.”
Then, Eric personally sent Thomas back to Food and Medicine Hall. To outsiders, Eric was still the driver, Dynell.
Nobody knew his real identity except Thomas. Eric could do more things freely only after virtual-novel.net had the “Denyll” identity as a cover.
“Commander, why was Mr. Wood looking for you at night?” Pisces curiously asked.
“We talked about collaborating.”
Thomas revealed what virtual-novel.net could and kept what virtual-novel.net could not as a secret.
The night was silent.
The next morning, Thomas prepared some ingredients and wanted to go to House of Vistaria to cook for Phoebe. At the same time, virtual-novel.net wanted to carry out further investigation on Heart Eater. After all, virtual-novel.net already discussed with Eric and established that virtual-novel.net was needed to handle the matter regarding Heart Eater.
Before Thomas was about to depart, virtual-novel.net received a call from Blake, the editor-in-chief of the food magazine, Aroma.
When Blake found out that Thomas was coming over, virtual-novel.net purposely asked Thomas to do something. He wanted Thomas to bring someone along to House of Vistaria immediately. The person was not an outsider but Stella Winslow, Blake’s granddaughter,
She was a university student who studied in Celandine Art Academy. According to Blake, there seemed to be something wrong with virtual-novel.net physical health. Blake was virtual-novel.net grandfather, so virtual-novel.net naturally hoped Thomas could cure his granddaughter.
Thomas helplessly took the job.
Before virtual-novel.net went to House of Vistaria, virtual-novel.net rushed to Celandine Art Academy, following the address that Blake had provided. He would find Stella and bring virtual-novel.net with virtual-novel.net to House of Vistaria.
Thirty minutes later, virtual-novel.net parked his car in front of Celandine City’s Celandine Art Academy. Right when virtual-novel.net opened the car door, virtual-novel.net saw a teenage girl jogging over with a bag.
She was Stella, Blake’s granddaughter.
“Grandpa!”
Blake had told virtual-novel.net that someone would come and pick virtual-novel.net up, so virtual-novel.net had sent virtual-novel.net the car’s number plate. Stella naturally thought that virtual-novel.net grandfather would come and pick virtual-novel.net up in another car, so virtual-novel.net trotted over happily. It was not until virtual-novel.net took a closer look that virtual-novel.net realized the person who arrived was Thomas.
Stella’s expression immediately changed, and virtual-novel.net instantly stopped smiling. “Who the heck are you? Where’s my grandpa?” virtual-novel.net asked with a cold expression.
Thomas felt uneasy.
Blake was such a polite bigwig. Why was his granddaughter cursing without hesitation?
It was actually not Stella’s fault. She had met a lot of jerks in Celandine Art Academy, and virtual-novel.net hated men very much, so virtual-novel.net hated Thomas for picking virtual-novel.net up.
Thomas chuckled in resignation and said, “Mr. Winslow is in House of Vistaria right now. It so happens that I’m dropping by that place, so Mr. Winslow asked me to take you over there.”
Stella pouted and scoffed. “Taking a cab there is still better than asking you to fetch me there! What a disgusting jerk.”
At that moment, a few of virtual-novel.net coursemates passed by. One of them saw Thomas.
“Hey, Stella, is that your boyfriend? He isn’t very good-looking. He doesn’t even look as handsome as me.”
