Chapter 5

The salesperson was very surprised. She handed the ten bottles of perfume to Greg and said very politely, "Sir, thank you for coming." "You're welcome." Doris was so surprised that she opened her mouth. She really couldn't believe that a poor salesman like Greg could afford ten bottles of MZ perfume. Noah looked at Greg in disbelief. He knew Greg's situation very well. Greg could only earn a few hundred dollars per month, and Clara never knew how to save their money, so their life was pretty hard. A few days ago, Greg even asked him to borrow money. Noah asked nervously, "Greg, tell me frankly, where did you get so much money? Did you do something bad?" "Noah, we have known each other for so many years. Do you think I am that kind of person? I've just got some money after the demolition of my old house." Noah finally felt relieved. But then, he frowned again. "It's a waste to spend the money like this. Your life is quite hard." Doris reached out to snatch the bag. "Since these are all for me, I'll take them." "Doris, you can't." Doris ignored Noah's words. She could use these ten bottles of MZ perfume for a long time. After receiving her compensation, she didn't look down upon Greg as much as before. Doris smiled at Greg and said, "Thank you!" Doris had never been so polite to him. Greg felt that his money was worth it, and maybe their relationship would improve in the future so that Noah would not be so embarrassed. "You're welcome. It's nothing." However, Doris looked down upon Greg even more as soon as he said so. She thought Greg was too pretentious. He could only afford ten bottles because he had the demolition funds. He could have done anything else with 20 thousand dollars, but he chose to be pretentious and bought ten bottles of perfume. What an idiot. He probably felt devastated but still pretended to be calm. Greg didn't know what Doris was thinking, or he would have been furious. After leaving the mall, Noah had to go to his crew, so Greg left alone. After graduating from university, Greg joined an advertising company, while Noah worked behind the scenes in the film crew. On the way back, Greg received a call from Eden. "Mr. Donnie, a local man named Luther Hawk admires you very much and wants to visit you." Luther, the wealthiest man in Bianca City, had companies in almost all industries, and his property was worth billions. Greg often saw him on TV. "Okay, I see." Greg knew very well that since he had decided to return to the family, he needed to get in touch with some people as a practice. He was sweating all over, so he went to the bathroom to shower. Unexpectedly, when he came out, he saw a woman sitting on the sofa. The woman was wearing a formal dress. She had a lovely figure, and her long legs were covered with sexy black stockings, which were very eye-catching. "Ah! You perv!" Brenda Cotton received an order from Luther to come to Dragon Lake Villa to pick up an important guest. She found the place according to the address, knocked, and a girl about five opened the door. She had just entered the living room and sat on the sofa when the bathroom door opened, Brenda blushed as she looked at Greg, who was only wearing underwear. She shouted loudly and covered her eyes. Greg was slightly taken aback. "Who are you? Why are you in my house?" Brenda couldn't help peeking at Greg through her fingers. Seeing his figure and abs, she felt her cheeks getting hotter. She quickly closed her eyes and said shyly, "Perv, put on your clothes!" Greg was speechless. However, this woman didn't seem bad, so he returned to the bedroom and put on his clothes. When he came out, the woman no longer covered her face, but her beautiful eyes still showed shyness and resentment. "Tell me the truth, or I'll call the police." Greg couldn't help but look at her. She was probably a few years younger than him, but she had a great appearance and figure. "Hello, Mr. Donnie. My name is Brenda Cotton, and I'm Mr. Hawk's secretary. Mr. Hawk would like to treat you to a meal, so he asked me to come to pick you up." How dare he call the police? She should be the one who called the police! He acted like a perv and stared at her body. What Brenda said was completely different from what she thought. Although she didn't know Greg's identity, Mr. Hawk repeatedly warned her that she must not offend Greg. Besides, Mr. Hawk even called him Mr. Donnie, so Brenda believed that Greg must be someone special. Thinking of the phone call from Eden, Greg suddenly understood. "Oh, Luther sent you. Okay, let's go." Greg turned around and yelled, and after a while, Alice ran out of the room. "Dad, what's the matter?" "Let's go and have a big meal." "Great!" Alice replied happily and looked at Brenda. "Miss, you are so beautiful. I want to hug you." Brenda also liked Alice very much, so she quickly picked her up and kissed her cheek. Greg smiled. He didn't expect them to get acquainted so quickly. If other people saw this scene, they might think that the three of them were a family. The residents of Dragon Lake Villa had been extremely curious recently. They wondered if a big shot was living here. Several helicopters came last night, bringing many bodyguards in suits. Today, a Rolls-Royce Phantom was parked in the community. This car was costly. The market price was close to 2 million dollars. If someone could afford a car like this, they must be incredibly wealthy. Dean Back, who lived in the same building as Greg, was the neighbor who told Alice that her mother had cheated on her father. He took several photos of this luxury car, posted them, and then waited quietly for the owner with a few other residents. After a while, they saw Brenda coming down, and they immediately stared at her. "Damn. What a hot woman!" "Is this her car? She's pretty and wealthy!" Dean was attracted by Brenda and even started to fantasize. But the next second, Dean was shocked. He saw Brenda holding Alice in her arms, and Greg followed closely behind. Brenda smiled softly and carried Alice into the car. What was going on? Didn't Greg's wife just run away with another man? Could this woman be Greg's new girlfriend?
