But as soon as the words left her mouth, she seemed to recognize the voice as being very familiar.
No, it was not just familiar, it was extremely familiar, because she had only heard this heavenly-like voice once, it was… that night.
“The only master here.” Baron Stuart’s deep and sexy voice accompanied his slow step out onto the rooftop, his extraordinarily handsome face appeared under the dim moonlight, exuding an awe-inspiring noble aura.
It was only after she clearly saw this noble man standing before her that Emily Walker felt surprised, however, on a second thought, it did not seem strange that he would appear here.
After all, this was the rooftop of the Futuren Hotel, and he, he was the leader of this hotel.
“What’s the matter? Are the 1.5 million flowers finished?” The only reason he could think of for her to appear here was that she had come to find him.
Other than endless entanglement to him and money as the two reasons, Baron Stuart couldn’t think of any other reason why women look for him.
Clearly, his words made Emily Walker stunned, somewhat confused.
Soon, it seemed that she could hear the slight mockery in his words.
“Of course not, I just came here today to retrieve my stuff.” Emily Walker naturally maintains her dignity in face of his mockery, because there was no need for her to stoop low for this man.
Perhaps in the commercial kingdom, he is the supreme ruler, but before her, Emily Walker… ah, he is also a king, but she is not his slave!
Upon hearing this, Baron Stuart slightly frowned, only feeling that it was a woman’s excuse to pester him.
“Really, do you have something left with me?” It felt like these kind of conversations happened many times, and every time the woman’s answer to him was: um, my heart is with you.
Thinking about this, Baron Stuart sneered even more.
“Um,” Emily Walker nodded, “although it’s not very valuable, it’s the only thing my parents left for me and it’s very precious to me.”
She was also not sure whether the item was lost here or not, but as long as there was a chance of finding it, she had to give it a try.
“Really? What is it.” Baron Stuart walked to the edge of the rooftop railing, looking down at the night view of E City, wondering what this precious item she was talking about was.
“It’s a mandarin duck stone, black and grey.” Emily Walker looked at him with a look of expectation and eagerness. Baron Stuart sounded as if he knew she had left something with him.
Mandarin duck stone? Although Baron Stuart was unfamiliar with this name, he immediately thought of the mandarin duck-shaped shell stone in his mind. Presumably, that’s the thing she wanted to retrieve.
“Have you… seen it?” Emily Walker looked at him expectantly, “That was the day when I found out that it was missing when I left here. Originally, I wanted to–”
“Nothing!”
Without waiting for Emily Walker to finish speaking, Baron Stuart decisively opened his mouth, with a tone of dominance and coldness.
However, as soon as the words left his mouth, Baron Stuart found himself somewhat out of character. He didn’t understand why he would lie about not seeing the mandarin duck stone when he clearly had.
Even more, he had a desire to claim the mandarin duck stone as his own. As the Crown Prince of the Futuren Group, the only heir, worth billions, he is not short of such stones, but he didn’t understand why he wanted to claim this broken stone as his own.
“Really nothing?” Emily Walker was somewhat disappointed. If he didn’t have it, then she really could not find the mandarin duck stone which her mother left for her..
