Chapter 228 You Are My Only Sister
Taking advantage of the traffic light, Aylin sent a message to Lloyd.
If it weren’t for not wanting to reveal her identity, she really wanted to drag him to the operating table
and perform a craniotomy to see if there was something wrong with his brain.
Lately, I’ve been doing some inexplicable actions, as if I’m sick!
Lloyd had just finished a call with Laila and was still busy when he heard the notification sound. He
picked up his phone and, to his surprise, it was a message from Aylin.
Did Ms. Koch have a change of heart?
Lloyd immediately paused his work, earnestly opened the message, and then was stunned.
“Huh?”
Is Ms. Koch showing concern for Gavyn?
Lloyd was well aware thar Gavyn had been injured five years ago. Fortunately, he had encountered
Divine Doctor, or else he would have been done for. However, only he and Steve knew about this
incident. How did Mrs. Delacruz find out?
He quickly replied to Aylin: [Ms. Koch, how did you find out about Mr. Delacruz’s situation? Did he tell
you everything?]
Just to be on the safe side, I’ll ask again.
Aylin had sent the message on a whim, not expecting Lloyd to respond. When she saw his reply, her
eyebrows furrowed in surprise.
Could it be that Gavyn really has some neurological issue?
Aylin’s fingers swiftly tapped on the screen as she texted: [Why do you ask?]
He replied: [Because you said so!]
She was confused.
He texted: [Doesn’t that mean you already know?]
A few rounds later, Lloyd noticed that Aylin seemed to be lost in confusion, so he carefully asked by
texting: (Ms. Koch, do you mean…?]
Aylin typed with a cold expression: (What I mean is, have Mr. Delacruz get a brain scan to see if there’s
anything wrong with his brain, instead of acting crazy all the time!]
Lloyd’s radiant smile froze on his face, as he thought Aylin had noticed Gavyn’s good qualities and
came to care for him, hoping Gavyn would change his mind.
My apologies, I made a mistake. Sorry for the inconvenience…
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe replied: [Ms. Koch, I… I understand what you mean.]
However, he was unable to convey it.
If I dare to suggest this to Gavyn, he could pack up and leave that very afternoon!
Aylin couldn’t help but feel that there was something wrong with Lloyd’s mind. Had he been influenced
by spending too much time with Gavyn?
She silently made her way back to the office.
“Hello, Ms. Koch.”
“Good afternoon, Ms. Koch!”
Upon arriving at the company, the employees respectfully nodded their heads and greeted Aylin one
after another.
Following the previous “Sally Truman Emergency Incident,” her crisis management skills and resolute
personality have made it clear to all employees of the Koch Group that…
This young noble lady is not just someone who dresses up beautifully and sits in the office sipping
afternoon tea. She is a woman of courage and capability!
Aylin didn’t put on airs, she nodded slightly in greeting and picked up her bag to get on the elevator. As
she left, a fragrant breeze lingered behind her.
The CEO’s office was quite spacious, with less than ten people in it. As soon as Aylin stepped out of
the elevator, she heard a crisp voice echoing through the hall…
“Ayl…”
A person arrived wearing a milky white dress with lotus leaf edges that reached just past their knees,
and their jet-black hair was styled in soft, cascading pear blossom curls.
Dressed like a proper lady, she saw Aylin and, like an excited little bunny, she eagerly ran over.
“You’re finally back! I’ve been waiting for so long, I’ve missed you to death!”
-“Suzanne?”
Aylin was embraced wholeheartedly by the newcomer, and the two girls hugged each other tightly,
turning their longing for each other into a physical expression.
Since the last time Suzanne attended Benjamin’s party, she went abroad for further studies. Although
both of them wanted to keep in touch, one was busy with work, and the other was occupied with
academics.
Due to the time difference, our conversations were regrettably interrupted several times.
Aylin was still contemplating what gift to give her friend as a welcome home present, but before she
could decide, the person suddenly appeared before her.
After much difficulty reuniting, Aylin’s usually cold face was tinged with happiness. “You, girl, didn’t
even let me know when you came back. I didn’t have time to prepare a gift.”
“What’s the need for these formalities between besties…”
After a pause, Suzanne rubbed her hands together with a grin, “We can just make up for it with a big
one later, hahaha!”
The two of them chatted and laughed as they entered Aylin’s office.
Suzanne skillfully pulled out a chair and sat down, applying force with her hands as she spun around
on the swivel chair. Her skirt flared up ever so slightly as she twirled.
She propped her head up with a grin, looking at Aylin. “Ayl, you seem to have lost a lot of weight. Have
you been missing me that much?”
Aylin was left helpless by Suzanne’s teasing, “Yes, yes, it’s all because you’re not by my side, I’m
restless, lovesick even!”
“Perfect score!” Suzanne expressed her great satisfaction with this answer.
Seeing her friend’s cheerful demeanor, Aylin couldn’t help but want to laugh as well. Being with a close
friend brought a sense of genuine happiness from within.
After finishing her sentence, Suzanne pouted and said, “And you say that, but you never take the
initiative to contact me. I’m the one who made all those video calls to you.’
“Ahem, well, you know how busy things have been lately… How’s Grandpa doing these days? Have
you visited him at home?” Aylin quickly changed the subject.
“I’ve seen it. Ever since Grandpa started taking your prescription, his strength has improved a lot
compared to before. He enjoys eating, and recently, he went fishing in a beautiful place with clear
waters and lush mountains!”
Suzanne held Aylin’s slender hand, the warmth of their palms comforting each other. “Honestly, don’t
work yourself too hard. The company must be really busy, right? I can see that you’ve lost more than
just a little weight, and it worries me.”
Aylin touched her chin, noticing no change, and asked, “Is there anything?”
Suzanne laughed and said, “You must be really busy to not notice this. I must have lost about six
pounds, right?”
She narrowed her eyes threateningly at her, “Now that I’m back, I’ll make sure you eat properly.
Otherwise, I won’t give you the gift I bought from abroad!”
–
Aylin had seen it all from luxury brands to precious jewels, as well as exquisite delicacies. One could
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsay that whatever she desired, she could have.
But the gift Suzanne gave was a token of true friendship, something Aylin valued above all else. So,
following her best friend’s teasing threat, she pleaded pitifully for mercy.
“Sometimes I have to work overtime and don’t have time to eat. Don’t be so hard on a working person
like me. So… what good stuff did you bring for me?”
“Guess what…”
Suzanne was about to tease a bit more when suddenly, a series of knocks on the door interrupted the
cozy atmosphere between the two.
“You really are quite busy, aren’t you?” Suzanne said, feeling helpless.
Aylin rubbed her forehead and said, “I’ll handle it quickly. Come in.”
To Aylin’s surprise, the person who arrived was Daniel, which made her sit up straight immediately.
Daniel wouldn’t bother her without good reason, and his expression was serious, clearly indicating that
he had something to say. “What’s wrong?”
Suzanne grew up in a wealthy family and had seen her fair share of worldly affairs. Upon seeing.
Daniel’s behavior, she immediately knew that he had some company secrets to discuss. “Should I step
away for a moment?”
“No need, you’re not an outsider, Daniel. What’s wrong?”
Daniel’s face was grave, “Ms. Koch, today is the last day for the payment from the Kline family for the
collaboration project we agreed upon last time, but they still haven’t transferred the money.”
“Our people called them, but they couldn’t give a precise answer, saying it’s not under their front desk’s
jurisdiction. Ms. Koch, what do you think about this…?”
It’s indeed quite unusual.
From what Aylin knows about Waylon, he might be a bit frivolous when it comes to relationships, but he
wouldn’t easily make a blunder in business matters. In this regard, everyone who comes out of Camp
Count is the same.
Aylin frowned slightly, “Let me ask.”
She immediately called Waylon’s phone.
After connecting, a noisy sound of footsteps came from the other side, as if someone was going
upstairs. Then, Waylon shouted from a distance, “Please, you’re my one and only sister!”
Immediately after, a cold female voice came through the phone, leaving no room for argument, “I said
no, and that’s final. Calling for your mom won’t help.”
After that, there was another muffled banging sound as if someone had forcefully closed a large door.
Waylon let out a gentle sigh.
Seeing that it was almost quiet over there, Aylin asked, “What’s going on?”
