"Auntie Logan, welcome to my home. Err... It's a little bit messy. I hope you don't mind." Chuck Cannon opened the door with embarrassment and walked in with Willa's suitcase.
Willa Logan followed him into the house, her beautiful eyes observing around. She smiled and said, "It's good."
Just a little messy.
Willa tied her hair up and then started to tidy up Chuck's house.
Chuck was embarrassed. He told her that he would clean up the mess himself. It was definitely inappropriate and rude to let Auntie Logan clean up the house for him. He couldn't do that.
"It's okay." Willa shook her head and rejected him politely. She would be staying here anyway. She had to clean up her own house.
Chuck, of course, had to clean up the mess together with Willa. By 8 o'clock in the evening, the house was all clean and tidy. Chuck was so tired that he struggled to catch his breath. In contrast, it seemed to be easy and effortless for Willa.
Chuck was stunned. Willa really did live up to her name. A super 'baller' like her was able to come to the Ocean City all alone. She was also a master in fighting. She could beat more than ten people by herself.
"May I ask you a question?"
"Okay. Ask away." Willa sat on the sofa. She didn't use her mobile phone. Instead, she took out a book and started reading it. After listening to Chuck's question, she smiled, looked up and closed the book.
"Auntie Logan, are you good at fighting?" Chuck came over and asked.
Willa was a little stunned, and then she immediately chuckled and replied, "Hmm...I think I'm not too bad."
However, Chuck understood. Willa probably could defeat more than 20 people on her own! She was indeed an incredible woman!
One would definitely feel secure by her side.
Chuck gave her a thumbs-up, and Willa smiled.
"Auntie Logan, I'm going back now."
"Okay, be careful on the way."
Chuck opened the door and came out. He gave Yvette Jordan a call and asked her if she was still at the plaza. Yvette said that she was already home. It was a hectic day for her. Apart from dealing with the company's affairs, she also went to the new outlet in the afternoon. She had taken some photos of the outlet's interior and was ready to work on the design herself.
However, she suddenly realized that she should take the initiative to do something to repay Chuck. So she made a meal and waited for Chuck's return patiently.
"Well, honey, I'll go back soon."
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
Chuck hung up the phone, but when he walked to the elevator, the light above his head suddenly turned off. Chuck was speechless. Was there a blackout? Seriously? Here? He was at one of the highest floors in the building.
Chuck hesitated for a moment and knocked on the door again to see if there was a blackout at home. Sure enough, when Auntie Logan opened the door, the house was in complete darkness. He was embarrassed. It was the first time he took Auntie Logan home, and never did he expect that he would encounter such an unpleasant situation.
"Excuse me, Auntie Logan. It seems that there's a blackout here," Chuck said apologetically.
"It's okay. I'll just go to bed early tonight. The power is off, so the elevator is not working either. If you don't mind, why don't just spend a night here?" Willa smiled.
She didn't want Chuck to take the stairs down. They were staying on one of the highest floors. His legs might turn numb or even tremble if he took the stairs all the way down. It would be dangerous if he couldn't control the accelerator properly when he was driving. He was still young and had a good future. The accident would destroy his future.
Just as Chuck was about to shake his head and say that he had to go back, Willa added, "Come in. If you walk the stairs down, I'm pretty sure your legs will become numb and shaky. It wouldn't be good for driving. You didn't train enough."
Chuck was embarrassed. Was Auntie implying that she could go up and down the stairs effortlessly but Chuck couldn't?
Chuck was convinced and he eventually entered the house.
"Be careful, Chucky," Willa said gently.
Ouch! Chuck exclaimed in pain. He covered his legs. What luck! How could he even hit something at his own home? He was speechless. Willa quickly helped Chuck up. "Sleep earlier, Chucky. Sleeping early is good for your health."
"Okay, Auntie Logan, you should go to bed earlier too."
Such a self-disciplined woman!
Chuck was impressed. He came over and asked if they could leave soon. Auntie Logan smiled and said, "Okay."
Chuck actually hadn't been to any of the scenic spots in the city. He planned to have breakfast together with her at the cafe downstairs and drive to the place after that. The scenic spots he chose had gotten very high ratings on the internet. He believed that Auntie Logan would enjoy the view.
However, when they came out of the house, they heard the sound of hitting and scolding coming from somewhere. Chuck was shocked. Out of curiosity, they walked to the side and saw a few people hitting the door. There were also words like "pay the money back" scribbled on the wall.
Chuck didn't want to meddle in other people's business at first, but after seeing these people clearly, he found that they were actually the same people who lent money to Yvette. It seemed that the house owner had been deceived by the usury and had no money to pay them back, so Dread came over to collect the payment violently.
As luck would have it, he met with the gangsters from the usury company! Perhaps he was meant to meet his enemies.
However, Willa was by his side. He shouldn't spoil her good mood. After all, it was supposed to be a fun day. So Chuck deciding against calling them out. He whispered, "Auntie Logan, let's go."
Willa was stunned. She nodded with a smile. "Alright."
"Boss, look, it's that gigolo. He's here too!" However, when one of his men turned around and saw Chuck, he immediately informed Dread.
Dread turned around. He was already in a bad mood since he couldn't get the money today. He didn't expect that Chuck would crash himself on the muzzle.
However, the beautiful and charming lady standing beside Chuck had taken away all of his attention. His eyes widened and sparkled with excitement. Was she an angel?
Dread was green in envy. He spat out a mouthful of saliva and walked towards them. "Lucky little boy. There are so many beautiful women around you. Hey, gorgeous, let me treat you breakfast, freshly brewed coffee..."
Chuck was furious. He didn't expect that Dread would try to flirt with Auntie Logan. He couldn't help but clench his fists. Chuck was about to punch Dread in the face. However, Auntie Logan just smiled gently as she normally did and walked to the front of Dread. In the blink of an eye, all he could hear was Dread's painful scream. He flew about three meters away. Chuck couldn't even recall what she had done!
It was definitely a jaw-dropping incident for both Chuck and Dread!
Oh God! Was Auntie Logan really that good at fighting?
