Logan was overjoyed when he heard that Vera was willing to meet Marianne.
He hurriedly said to Vera, “Miss, they will be arriving in another twenty minutes, so you can come down when they arrive.”
Vera nodded and said with a smile, “Don’t forget my new identity in front of outsiders.”
Logan said without hesitation, “Of course! Don’t worry, Miss.”
After that, he got up slowly and said, “Miss, please continue enjoying your tea. I will not disturb you anymore.”
Vera said, “Find a servant to help you down, lest you get tired.”
Logan was flattered and said, “Thank you for your concern, Miss. I’ll have no problem going down on my own. It’s much easier to go down, after all.”
When Vera saw his insistence, she did not say anything else, nodded, and spoke up, “You can go ahead, then. I’ll go down when the car arrives.”
“Okay, Miss. I’ll take my leave, then.”
After Logan was done speaking, he cupped his fists together, bowed slightly to Vera, then slowly retreated.
Vera had never been a sociable person. If Logan’s granddaughter had just happened to visit today and Logan had come to invite Vera to meet her in person, she would never have agreed to it.
In her opinion, socializing with strangers was not only unnecessary, but it also increased the risk of exposure for her.
What’s more, she always felt that everything had gone smoothly ever since she had come to Aurous Hill. She had met Claudia, Claire, and Elaine, one after another, which could no longer be described as wishful thinking because Vera herself would never have dared to imagine that everything could go so smoothly.
Therefore, Vera, who had always been calm and unperturbed, had begun looking forward to her upcoming university life.
It just so happened that she would be meeting Logan’s granddaughter who was coming for an interview to become a lecturer. It felt as if God was helping her settle down in Aurous Hill as soon as possible, so she was immediately interested in getting acquainted with her.
Twenty minutes later, Vera heard the sound of the car engine as well as the tires’ friction against the ground.
Scarlet Pinnacle Mansion was several hundred meters above sea level. The sound of the engine heard here was bound to be on its way up the mountain.
So, Vera picked up her cup, finished the tea in it, and walked out of the courtyard.
