Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Christopher Parr finally lost his patience and slammed a folder onto Hayden’s head, exclaiming, “I told you to deliver a message to her!”

Rubbing his head, Hayden responded, “Alright, what message?”

“Tell her that headquarters is interested in partnering with her on the new bomb project…”

“That’s impossible!” Hayden interrupted immediately, “That’s Serena’s revenue stream. You might as well fire me. Serena loves money the most. If we take that away from her, I’m as good as dead.”

Christopher Parr looked at Hayden calmly and said, “You’re just the messenger. Whether she agrees or not is her decision. We can’t find her right now; there’s no way to contact her.”

“But that won’t work either, boss, I’m begging you, please don’t make me deliver the message, I really can’t do it. I’d rather face any danger than cross Serena, please just let it be!”

With hands clasped together, Hayden pleaded desperately. Seeing his pitiful look, Christopher Parr didn’t know what to say. He waved his hand dismissively, “Get out.”

“Alright!” Hayden left, relieved, his face breaking into a grin as he cheerfully closed the office door behind him. However, as soon as he stepped out, his smile vanished without a trace.

Hayden took a deep look at the sign on Christopher Parr’s office door, Deputy Director, his gaze growing darker. He pulled out a phone, one reserved for confidential use among his brothers, which even Jared had never contacted.

He sent a message to Tina, “Paula White, Jasmine.”

Tina, who was gnawing on a roasted pig’s trotter, glanced at her smartwatch which displayed the message and chuckled softly. Clearly, their goal was not just Jasmine.

Inside the office, Christopher Parr took out a brand-new phone, inserted a SIM card, and made a call. “Hmm, no news, okay, understood.”

After hanging up, he removed the SIM card and slipped it into his pocket. He sighed deeply, his eyes clouded with ambiguity.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

At the residence of the Farrell family, Joshua took away Orson’s car keys upon learning about his accident. “It’s too unsafe, from now on, you’re not driving yourself, I’ll get you a driver.”

Orson objected, “It was an accident, and it wasn’t even my fault; those people hit me.”

“That’s not acceptable either.”

“Look at me, Uncle Joshua,” Orson turned to Abigail to complain.

Abigail, who was designing a dress on her tablet, looked up at Joshua with a reproachful expression, “Joshua, Orson is already an adult. Moreover, the traffic authority stated that the motorcycle gang violated the traffic rules first, which caused the accident. Orson also needs to shuttle between the youth team and Kongham University; impounding his car is very inconvenient.”

“Exactly, Joshua~” Orson mimicked Abigail’s tone.

Abigail’s face flushed, “Imitate me again, and I won’t help you.”

Joshua then gave the car keys back to Orson, “Just be careful driving yourself, and go talk to your grandfather about this; he was frightened by the news.”

“Okay.” Orson took his keys; having a driver would make his trips to Kongham University inconvenient.

Joshua watched Orson’s retreating figure and shook his head helplessly, “This kid, nothing like Jared when he was young.”

“Jared isn’t old now, either,” Abigail pinched Joshua’s nose and tapped his face a few times, “neither are you.”

Joshua grabbed Abigail’s hand and playfully pinched back, “Trying to be mischievous again, aren’t you?”

Abigail blushed and nestled shyly into Joshua’s arms, looking at him with affection. This scene was just witnessed by Jared and Tina as they entered. They quickly separated, both somewhat embarrassed. Jared chuckled, “Did we interrupt something?”

“Nonsense,” Joshua, his face half flushed, stood up and approached Jared, “Your aunt has something to discuss with Tina. Let’s go to the study and talk about some business matters.” Tina naturally sat next to Abigail, focusing on the dresses she was designing.

The company owned a high-end dress brand-DAO. Joshua’s return was mainly to take charge of this aspect, and Abigail was just the right person to assist. The designs she was working on were intended for next season’s men’s collection. “Very good, the styles are straightforward, but pay attention to the choice of fabrics,” Tina commented while examining the designs. Abigail agreed with Tina’s thoughts and suddenly remembered that the spokesperson for DAO in the Asia-Pacific region had terminated their contract. She asked, “Tina, I’ve just returned to the country and am not well-acquainted with the local celebrities. Your Uncle Joshua wants to find two male celebrities as the new spokespersons for the Asia-Pacific region. Do you follow any stars?”

Tina, of course, did not follow celebrities; she was merely the boss of ordinary stars. “Are there any specific requirements?” Tina inquired. Abigail looked at the prototype of the dress she had designed and replied, “They should be quite well-known, with contrasting styles yet high compatibility. Ideally, they should have experience in modeling to better showcase the features of the dresses. Other than that, there’s nothing much.” Tina nodded; Ember Saffron was a perfect fit, but finding someone compatible with him who also had modeling experience was challenging.

Suddenly, Tina thought of a face that owed her a set of portraits from their last meeting-the defector to Qingfeng Observatory, Arthur! His style indeed differed from Ember Saffron’s. One was like a charming nobleman, the other a straightforward youth. Together, they might just spark something interesting. “I have someone in mind. Can they come for an interview at the company tomorrow?” Tina asked. Abigail nodded, “There’s no rush, shouldn’t we call their agent or team first?”

“No need,” Tina waved her hand, she could make that decision.

That evening, Tina sent a message to both Ember Saffron and Arthur, informing them of the opportunity. The next morning, the popular star Ember Saffron arrived for the interview at the company, closely followed by the up-and-coming young actor Arthur. The company had been informed that two male celebrities would be coming for interviews, but they hadn’t expected them to be these two! Although the company was influential, these were not celebrities who could be easily scheduled, typically requiring at least a three-day notice.

Joshua glanced at Jared, “Your cousin Tina is quite capable.”

“Of course,” Jared nodded knowingly. Joshua couldn’t tell if it was just his imagination, but he always seemed to detect a hint of mockery in his nephew’s eyes-as if scoffing at his lack of worldly experience! The company quickly finalized Ember Saffron and Arthur, and they took their promotional photos that day. When officially announced, Arthur shot to fame. Although he didn’t overshadow Ember Saffron, he was certainly among the top contenders.
