Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

Chapter 415 " God , I'm sweating buckets ! I have to change into a fresh set of clothes . Oh , and she's on her way . Don't touch the kitchen . I'll clean up . I said don't touch it ! " I set the food down and turned to acknowledge her words . I came face to face with her pale , bare chest . Claire had unbuttoned her collar . Maybe it was because I had seen Julia's chest before . I couldn't help comparing the two , and I had to say Claire's looked like a mountain range . " Hey , stop staring ! Don't act like this when my best friend is here . I don't want her to think you're a horny pervert !

" Claire hushed . She rolled her eyes and darted into her room . I realized later that she was bolder and more open with me alone . As soon as someone else arrived , she reverted to an innocent , bashful version of herself . A few minutes later , Claire came out in pajamas . Then suddenly our phones rang . I picked mine up first . " Mr. Grimwald ! We've got a problem ! " Jeanine's voice was frantic . " Someone is blocking our delivery truck on the freeway . Those people might even have assaulted the drivers ! " I frowned . " They're doing this to us , aren't they ? " " Mr. Lockheed and Mr.

Shawn both said the thugs insisted on seeing you in person . They refuse to budge otherwise . That means you're their target , sir . " Jeanine paused . " I think we should report this to the authorities . It is too dangerous . " I knew who was behind this now : Joe Applebaum . He must not have learned his lesson at the hotel . " Don't worry , Jeanine . I'll be fine . If we want this to work long term , we have to go out there and handle it ourselves . They're just thugs . We can deal with them . " I ended the call and sighed . Claire had just finished hers . " I'm sorry .

I need to go somewhere . It's urgent . " " Sebastian ! She's here ! She asked if we could have wine ! " We both froze . Claire asked , " What happened ? " " A group of thugs stopped the delivery of our first batch . I need to go and sort it out . I heard someone got beaten , " I said , tired . "I'm sorry . I have to stand you up . " A faint sadness crossed her face , but Claire forced a smile . " Don't worry about me . Worry about yourself . Thugs are no joke . Call me when everything is sorted . Don't make me worry , okay ? " My chest warmed . What a kind young woman . " Will do , " I said .

If it were not for my divorce , messy relationships and emotional hang - ups , I might actually want to start something with her . I sighed , left the unit , and headed for the basement parking lot . There I ran into someone I did not expect . " Mr. Grimwald ? Is that you ? " Astrid Langley asked . ADMINJ
