Chapter 126
His gaze was so scorching and his voice was so magnetic.
Tiffany was originally eating quietly. Now, her hand trembled and her fork fell to the table with a clatter.
Their eyes met, and the surrounding noise seemed to disappear
Tiffany’s head was buzzing, and what he said kept echoing in her head. His voice was melodious, and his tone was. prolonged.
He looked serious on the surface but he was actually teasing her…
Tiffany’s face instantly turned red.
She wanted to pretend that she did not hear it and get away with it, but she saw Richard’s cold gaze on her. There was a hint of mischief in his good-looking eyes.
It was obvious that he did not intend to let her off.
Tiffany looked at her father, wanting to know their reaction.
Unexpectedly, Thalia reacted the fastest. She patted Tiffany’s hand and smiled. “According to your age, you should indeed call him by his name. Tiffany, why aren’t you saying hello?”
Tiffany could only brace herself and say, “Hello, Richard.”
“Good girl.” Richard smiled and seemed to be in a good mood.
It was obvious that Richard was unsatisfied with his inexplicable seniority rise. So, after all this roundabout, he’d rather lower his status and become Charlie’s junior than be addressed respectfully by her.
Charlie laughed happily. He did not think about anything else. Instead, he was full of admiration. ‘As expected of a young genius who owns a huge business empire at such a young age. He’s completely different from the rumored temperamental personality. He’s clearly very humble and polite. Not bad.
The corners of the assistant’s eyes twitched as he watched the happy scene. ‘So, did Mr. Hampton spend so much money to buy this street that he looks down on just to please his future father-in-law? Love me, love my dog.’
After sitting for a while, Richard got up and left. Before he left, he even gave Eric a
gift.
It was an exquisitely wrapped gift box. Before opening it, Eric had no idea what was inside. It felt quite heavy.
Eric seemed to have sensed something. His eyes lit up as he called out loudly, “Richard!”
However, he tiptoed and whispered into Richard’s ear, “You might be my brother-in-law in the future, right?”
‘How clever.’ Richard touched his head and asked, “Will you help me then?”
Eric said, “Yes!”
“Deal, agreed Richard.
With just a few words, the two of them had become allies because of Tiffany.
After Richard left, Tiffany pulled Eric over and whispered curiously, “What were you two whispering about just now?”
Eric revealed an indescribable expression and said heroically, “This is a secret between men.”
Tiffany wanted to slap him-hut could not bear to do it. She could only rub his head and scold him jokingly, “Rascal.”
Richard did not stay for long. Many people who had yet to get close to him sighed, but at the same time, they curiously surrounded him and asked Charlie what he had said.
It was no secret. Hence, Charlie said that he had signed a contract with Richard. He would personally arrange the renovation project for that old alley in the future.
Everyone expressed their envy. “Wow. You’re really good at hiding your strength. You actually made Mr. Hampton come here personally just to sign a contract with you. This is a good thing that many people don’t even dare to think about!”
Actually, Charlie also found it unbelievable. “This cooperation is nothing to Richard. It’s negligible. With his net worth, why would he need to talk to me personally? He could just arrange for an assistant to make a trip. It should be a coincidence that we met at this wedding banquet, right?’
Charlie felt a little more at ease. He was also a little proud of being flattered, but he looked humble on the surface. “You flatter me.”
The surroundings were filled with laughter and the atmosphere was extremely good.
Even Thalia could not help but shake her head and whisper, “Your high-spirited appearance reminds me of when you were young.”
“What are you saying? Am I not young now?” Charlie laughed out loud.
Not long after, the wedding banquet ended.
When they left, Conner brought his new wife to send off the guests at the door.
Before Tiffany got into the car, she felt a burning gaze on her back.
Sensing something, she turned around and saw Mia standing in front of the window on the upper floor of the Lee family’s villa, looking at her with a cold gaze.
‘Who would pay too much attention to a clown?’ Tiffany laughed and got into the car.
After returning home, Eric eagerly opened the gift box, as if it wanted to verify its guess and see what was inside.
Looking at his expectant expression, Tiffany was a little curious.
She leaned over to take a look and saw the gift box open. There was a high-tech computer in the bubble cushion.
Eric cried out in surprise, “It’s real! It’s really this! Ah, I love it so much!”
“What’s this?” asked Tiffany.
Eric answered, “A Computer that has been specially modified and processed. Even if you have money, you might not be able to buy them. The modifications are especially complicated, but to hackers, it’s a good thing that adds wings to a tiger!”
“I see.” Tiffany nodded. She was a little touched, so she decided to send Richard a message later to express her gratitude. Just as she returned to her room and closed the door, she turned around and realized that the elegant and noble Richard was lying on her bed. He supported his head with one hand and flipped through her book leisurely with the other.
The corner of Tiffany’s mouth twitched. “Hey, are you already used to jumping through windows?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Richard did not even look up. He scolded softly, “How rude. Show some respect.”
Tiffany was angry and amused. “Alright. Then thank you for negotiating a collaboration with my father and giving my brother a computer. It’s so generous and charming of you!”
Who doesn’t know how to suck up to others?’ Tiffany f
