Free Web NovelChapter 662: Why Does He Only Want Her?! (2)
What kind of situation hasn’t she, a big celebrity, seen before? Yet when she truly arrived at this place, she became timid.
Dao An was here all along...
But how can she meet him?
This stumped Sheng Yi. She stared out the car window for a long time, until the driver gently reminded her that it was time to pay the fare and get off, only then did Sheng Yi snap out of it, pay, and step out of the car.
But the next moment, her reaction was like a lizard stepping on hot sand in the desert; the asphalt road of Wall Street seemed to penetrate her shoe soles, scorching her feet. As the driver started the engine, Sheng Yi suddenly opened the car door and got back inside.
The bearded driver glanced back at her: ?
The mask and sunglasses hid Sheng Yi’s embarrassed face as she let out a dry laugh, using her somewhat broken English to say, "Oh, sorry, I just remembered I left something important at the hotel, could you please take me back to the 414 Hotel, thanks."
is the hotel Sheng Yi is currently staying at.
The driver nodded in understanding and drove back to the 414 Hotel, following the route they came by.
Along the way, Sheng Yi silently cursed herself for being too cowardly. She had been a glamorous superstar for over twenty years, never had she felt so nervous.
After returning to the hotel, she didn’t go back to her suite but spent some boring time in the coffee shop downstairs.
The coffee names were all over the place, and she didn’t like coffee, so she casually ordered a cup, which was super expensive.
Resting her cheek in her palm, she summed up the reasons for today’s failed outing. Besides being ’cowardly,’ there was another reason: she hadn’t prepared well. Dao An is such a busy person, and Wall Street is such a sacred place; even if she went, she might not be able to see Dao An immediately.
Rushing to find him, thinking it would be a pleasant surprise, was too naive; it could easily turn into a shock. freeweɓnøvel.com
So, to be safe, she should call Dao An first. It’s best to arrange a meeting.
Moreover, considering their old friendship, Dao An would likely meet her out of courtesy and reason. In the end, it was only a matter of timing, making everything reasonable. Once they meet, she could subtly inquire, and if Dao An has been single during his time in M Country, she wouldn’t hesitate to chase after him!
Immersed in pleasant imagination for a while, Sheng Yi snapped back and tapped her head: "Oh dear, oh dear, don’t imagine everything so perfectly, things might turn out completely different from what I envisioned."
Without hesitation, she dialed Dao An’s number.
Yuanyuan said that Dao An’s old Hua Country number wouldn’t be canceled even after coming to M Country, and there was another number for work purposes. If the first one couldn’t be reached, try the second.
Sheng Yi dialed the first number without hesitation.
She eagerly waited to hear his voice, but what came through the receiver was a message saying the person was temporarily unavailable.
Sheng Yi dialed again, but still didn’t get through, feeling somewhat disappointed.
But the disappointment lasted only three seconds before she immediately dialed the second number. This time, it rang twice before someone picked up, Sheng Yi’s eyebrows lifted with a smile as she pressed the phone receiver closer to her ear: "Hello, Dao An."
A female voice answered from the other end: "Are you looking for Ann?"
Ann?
Who’s Ann?
The voice had a standard British accent.
Sheng Yi hesitated for two seconds then realized Ann must be Dao An, and she replied in her broken English: "I don’t know if Ann is Dao An, but the person I’m looking for is Dao An. I want to speak with him, is he available to take a call now?"
Anxiously, she awaited the person on the other end to transfer the call to Dao An.
The numbers Yuanyuan gave her couldn’t be wrong, and she had verified both numbers, confirming it was another of Dao An’s.
The person answering should be Dao An’s secretary or assistant.
Sheng Yi’s guess was correct; the person answering was indeed one of Dao An’s secretaries, while the other secretary had gone on a business trip with him.
"I’m Ann’s secretary; Ann left for a conference in Los Angeles a week ago," the secretary leisurely explained.
Sheng Yi understood; the secretary told her Dao An had gone on a business trip.
"When does he return to Manhattan?" Sheng Yi asked the person.
The secretary’s voice was gentle and very professional, informing Sheng Yi: "Ann’s trip to Los Angeles is for two weeks. There’s no precise date for his return to Manhattan, but if you wish to meet with Ann, an appointment will need to be scheduled for a week later."
A week later...
Sheng Yi pouted on her side of the phone; her luck was really bad. That means she’d have to stay here alone for another week before she can meet Dao An.
