Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell

Chapter 586

"Yes, Ms. Miller," Janice replied.

zo later, Janice led Carlisle to the meeting room and knocked on the door.

Zoey stood up to open it and gave Carlisle, who appeared quite tense, a solemn glance.

Carlisle understood from her look that the representative was someone difficult to deal with.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"Ms. Miller," Janice and Carlisle greeted Zoey politely.

Zoey smiled and said, "I only need Howard here. Ms. Holland, you may leave now."

Janice nodded and left, her prominent belly noticeable. Zoey then led Carlisle into the meeting room. Carlisle, dressed in his uniform, fidgeted with the hem of his clothes, looking nervous.

"Howard, this is Ms. Dalton, the Director of the Supervisory Department at Golden Happiness Group," Zoey introduced Janet to Carlisle.

"Hello, Ms. Dalton," Carlisle greeted nervously.

Janet nodded and instructed, "Please take a seat."

Zoey then introduced Mandy and Damian to Carlisle and pointed to a chair, saying, "Please have a seat. Ms. Dalton needs to verify some information with you."

Carlisle took his seat, clearly anxious.

Janet took out her phone and dialed a number, but there was no answer. She dialed another number, and this time the call was answered.

Janet put the call on speaker, placed the phone on the table, and warmed her hands with her cup of tea.

"Hello? Who is this?"

A calm middle-aged voice came through the phone.

Zoey recognized it as Gideon's voice, and her heart began to race nervously.

Janet quietly pushed the phone toward Carlisle, signaling him to talk with his father.

Zoey's heart pounded. She had never imagined Janet would have Carlisle talk to Gideon over the phone. She wondered how Carlisle, a Cascadean speaker, could communicate with Gideon, a Caulitornan speaker.

"Old man," Carlisle called out, using the Caulitornan term for "father".

Gideon, who was teaching in class, was momentarily taken aback.

However, he quickly understood the situation and responded with a chuckle.

"Whose number is this, son? Aren't you working today?"

"My phone's out of battery, so I used a colleague's phone. Work isn't busy today, so I thought I'd give you a call. Are you busy right now?"

Listening to Carlisle's fluent, Caulitornan reminded Gideon of his son, and his eyes welled up slightly with tears. It had been three years since he last heard Howard call him "old man". Nevertheless, he knew that Carlisle was only temporarily impersonating his son.

"Busy as usual! I'm in the middle of a class right now. Call me tonight, alright?"

"Alright."

As soon as Carlisle responded, Gideon ended the call.

Zoey was stunned. She hadn't anticipated that Carlise would know how to speak Caulitornan. Moreover, it sounded very authentic.

As she wondered whether Carlisle had learned it long ago or just that day, she quickly dismissed the thought, feeling rather silly. She figured that Carlisle must have learned it long ago. After all, who could master a dialect in just a day?

Janet retrieved her phone and asked, "Do you have your phone with you?"
