Chapter 188: Chapter 148 This time, she did not refuse 2
"You still want another time?" Faye glared at him, "No way."
She looked at his outfit, "Alright, alright, go on with your run, I need to go back inside to freshen up."
Hunter Warren held her back, "Wait for me today, I’ll drive you to work."
"There’s no need today, I’m not going straight to the office, I need to drive out somewhere, so don’t pick me up."
"Then I’ll pick you up in the evening."
Faye pouted, "We’ll see when the time comes."
She really had something to do today, in the morning she didn’t go directly to the company but went with Brielle Golden to Rockstone Company, which collaborates with Townsend Corporation, to sign a contract before returning.
She had just returned to the office when a knock came at the door, "Director Townsend, there’s a Miss Tan on the first floor who wishes to see you. She forgot her phone, so the reception desk forwarded the call to me."
"Tan? What’s her name?" Faye recalled that the only Tan she knew was Clara.
"Clara."
Sure enough, she smiled, "She’s my friend, please let her up."
"Yes."
When Clara entered her office, Faye put down her work and gave her a big hug.
"Clara, you’re finally back. I thought you were going to stay in Malaysia for a long time."
"I wanted to stay longer, but something came up here, so I had to come back."
Faye pulled her to the sofa to sit down, "What’s going on, are you really upset with Oliver? Everything is already like this, isn’t it enough already?"
"But I’m so angry, he not only wants me to be forgiving but also morally coerces you.
How can he justify arranging that woman into Townsend?
What capabilities does that woman have to work at Townsend?
I know you have no way to refuse him, how can I not be upset?
And that woman, how can she have such thick skin?
Who does she think she is to get into Townsend?
Does she really think that because she once loved Oliver’s uncle, she can control the world?
I think she totally forgot she’s a murderer, it’s infuriating." Clara was extremely frustrated.
"Look at you, you’ve lived in Malaysia for so long, how can you still be bothered by such trivial matters.
It’s others who committed the wrongs; they should be the ones repenting.
Why punish yourself for others’ mistakes?
Everything you’re angry about now is an unchangeable fact.
So, can you look past it a little?
You’re angry now, but Luna Fisher probably doesn’t even know, she’s enjoying her life comfortably.
To speak frankly... maybe she hopes you are unhappy every day.
Do you really want to let her have her way?"
"Of course, I don’t want to cater to her wishes, that’s why I came to your company to find you. You wouldn’t believe the mindset I’m trying to maintain to keep from seeing that woman.
Because I’m afraid if I see her, I’ll want to tear apart her disguise.
And that would put you in a difficult position with my uncle Oliver, wouldn’t it."
Faye patted her shoulder seeing her frustration, "So I should be grateful that you’re considering me? Clara, really, don’t make things so hard on yourself, your mom is no longer here.
If she were, would she want you to be so upset because of others? It’s not worth it, you know? Really not worth it."
Clara crossed her arms in frustration, "No matter what anyone says, I absolutely can’t be at peace with that bitch Luna Fisher."
Hearing her words, Faye couldn’t help but laugh, she lived so freely.
Seeing her laugh, Clara seemed to remember something, "Oh right, Faye, I almost forgot, I came to ask if you know a man named Walter Hansen?"
Walter Hansen? Faye looked puzzled, "Why do you ask about him?"
"So you do know him?"
Faye nodded, "Yes, what about it?"
"Then take a look at this photo, is this you?"
Clara said as she took out a photo from her bag and handed it to her.
Faye took a glance and was stunned, "This photo... where did you get it."
The photo was a family portrait of hers, with her parents, twenty-year-old Richard Townsend, and her at seventeen.
Although she hadn’t changed much since then, there were still some differences.
After all, it was over a decade ago.
"It’s definitely you, I recognized it at first glance, it feels like you."
Faye nodded, "Yes, that’s me, these are my parents, this is my brother, it’s my family’s portrait, taken when I was sixteen or seventeen.
We have the same photo at our old house, where did you get this one?"
"I found this photo in Walter Hansen’s wallet before."
"You mean... is Brother Walter in Malaysia now?" Faye was astounded.
"Yes, what’s your relationship with Walter Hansen, why would he have this family portrait of yours in his wallet?"
"He used to be our driver for a few years.
Later, after my parents died in a traffic accident, he resigned.
My dad was nice to him when he was alive, but since he left, there’s been no contact with me or my brother."
Faye glanced at the photo, "But why would he have this family portrait? What is he doing in Malaysia now?"
"Wow, so he was a driver before.
That’s quite the turnaround for someone from such humble beginnings.
You might not know, but he’s far from ordinary now.
He’s in the shoe business in Malaysia and doing very well.
We ended up having a meal together for business negotiations, he had to leave early, but he left his wallet behind.
When I opened his wallet and saw this photo, I instantly felt it was you."
"How did you end up with the photo?"
"Initially, I wanted to return it to him when I picked up his wallet.
But after I called him, he never picked up.
Even his secretary wouldn’t take our company’s calls.
I wanted to return the wallet to him, but due to some urgent matters, I was called back, so I just brought it back with me.
You tell me, isn’t it odd, it’s fine if he doesn’t want to do business with us, but why avoid us? It’s not like our company eats people."
Faye stared at the photo for a moment before speaking, "Do you still have his contact information?"
"I do, do you want it? But I doubt he’ll pick up.
I heard he rarely does business with people from Eldoria, even if he does, he doesn’t do business with anyone from Anchester.
I approached him on a whim, but it didn’t turn out well."
Clara said while finding Walter Hansen’s number and handing it to Faye.
Faye recorded it on her phone and then set the phone aside.
"Are you back to stay this time, or leaving again in a few days?"
"I’m staying this time, I didn’t achieve anything in Malaysia, how could I dare hide out any longer." freewёbnoνel.com
Faye laughed, "Then I’ll have Uncle Rivers prepare a room for you."
"No, Faye, I can’t keep staying with you.
I know, with Miya’s health not being great, it’s already taxing for you to go home every day and care for the child.
I checked into a room at a hotel in the BlueHorizon Group before coming back.
I’ll stay there for a while, then find time to buy a small apartment to move into myself."
Faye thought for a moment and nodded, "I’m not trying to rush you away, but since that’s what you want, I’ll support you.
I guess you’d probably like to have your own space."
Clara shrugged with a smile, "You really know me, alright, I need to head back to the office, I’ll go for today.
I’ll visit Darnley and Miya another day."
Faye nodded, "Okay, then go ahead, I won’t see you off."
"See me off for what, there’s no need, I’ll be going."
Clara got up and left in her carefree manner.
Faye returned to her desk with her phone, looking at Walter Hansen’s number saved in her phone, she recalled many past events.
Walter Hansen was only six years older than her, but due to financial difficulties, he entered the workforce right after middle school.
Initially, he was moving bricks at a Townsend Corporation construction site, during one site inspection, her father was almost hit by a falling iron pipe, but Walter pushed him away, saving her father.
Her father was always grateful, so he funded Walter to get a driver’s license, and he eventually became her father’s driver.
Back then, because it was hard for him since he started working at a young age, her parents treated him especially well.
Her father even considered sponsoring him to study abroad, but for unknown reasons, Walter refused.
Later, Faye vaguely guessed why he chose not to leave.
Because he confessed his feelings to her on her twentieth birthday.
She remembered it clearly, she originally wanted Hunter Warren to celebrate her birthday with her.
But Hunter was ignoring her because of Sebastian Sheldon’s matter.
That night, Walter had been following her as the driver.
Seeing her always downcast, he suggested taking her to the river to clear her mind.
Faye agreed as she was in a bad mood and needed to get some air.
Initially, she sat by the river alone, feeling much better.
Who knew Walter would come over shortly after?
He knelt in front of her and confessed, saying he had liked her for a long time and was waiting for her to grow up.
She was really shocked at the time.
He knew she was already engaged, how dare he say such things to her, so she flatly refused him.
But he wasn’t angry; she clearly remembered what he said then.
"Faye, you’re still young, and I can’t offer you a lavish life right now.
But wait a few years, one day, I’ll grow to be like Uncle Townsend and marry you."
Faye raised her eyebrows and sighed; it seemed he actually followed through with his words.
He has indeed become quite impressive now.
But being impressive isn’t enough, he lost the basic goodness and sincerity, what good is being impressive then?
On the day of her parents’ accident, he took a day off.
