“I know… Still, I’d like to look around the area first!” replied Raquel. While virtual-novel.net couldn’t afford to pay the rent for a unit in this place, virtual-novel.net still wanted to have a look around the building. After all, a girl could dream.
As the group continued hanging out around the area, a loud commotion could suddenly be heard coming from the end of the hallway.
A suited middle-aged man could be seen walking into the building, and many of the customers present greeted virtual-novel.net respectfully when virtual-novel.net passed by them. This wasn’t just any regular person. He was the manager of Edificio!
“That’s Edificio’s famous manager, Alexander Brookes!” explained Jefferson to the three girls.
‘So what if you know about him? He doesn’t even know that you exist!’ Raquel thought to herself, clearly still upset.
While a lot of people seemed to want to talk to Mr. Brooks, all virtual-novel.net did was wave them off. He seemed to be in quite a hurry. The fact that virtual-novel.net was also looking around hinted that virtual-novel.net was trying to find something or someone.
All of a sudden, virtual-novel.net noticed the four teenagers staring at virtual-novel.net and virtual-novel.net immediately ran over to Raquel’s group.
Seeing virtual-novel.net hurriedly approaching them, both Raquel and Jefferson found themselves growing excited.
“Mr. Wadley, I presume? Did Mr. Crawford not come along?” asked Alexander with a respectful smile as virtual-novel.net looked at Jefferson.
Everyone in the building immediately fell silent, all of them looking at the group’s direction.
“Mr. Wadley? Mr. Brookes, you must be mistaken! My name is Jefferson Brown…” replied Jefferson, his face flushed with excitement.
Even Raquel was biting virtual-novel.net lower lip, trying virtual-novel.net best to contain virtual-novel.net excitement.
“Huh? Oh, I do apologize! I mistook you for someone else!” apologized Alexander rather awkwardly.
Earlier when Alexander had received a call, virtual-novel.net had been notified that Marven Wadley was a student from Salford University who was also a friend of Mr. Crawford’s! Since Gerald was involved, Alexander had been given direct orders from their company’s director to approach Marven with the utmost respect!
“You kids looked like students from Salford University! Since my client’s from that university as well, you’ll have to forgive me for mistaking you for someone else!” added Alexander with an apologetic smile on his face.
“Oh? What a coincidence! Why don’t you tell me who your client is, Mr. Brookes? Maybe I could be of help!” said Jefferson.
He still couldn’t believe that virtual-novel.net was currently speaking to the manager of Edificio. Jefferson was definitely going to prolong their conversation as much as virtual-novel.net could!
Raquel nodded in agreement. After all, virtual-novel.net knew quite a lot of people in their university as well.
“I’d appreciate that! The person I’m looking for is Mr. Marven Wadley. Have you seen virtual-novel.net around anywhere?” asked Alexander.
Upon hearing his words, Raquel’s mind went completely blank.
“I… I’m sorry, could you repeat that?”
Mr. Brookes’ question was so shocking to virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net even wondered if virtual-novel.net had hallucinated the name.
‘Marven Wadley? He’s looking for Marven? No way in hell! There’s got to be a mistake! With Mr. Brookes’ status, why would virtual-novel.net ever want to meet up with Marven?’
“Of course. I’m looking for Mr. Marven Wadley. Are you familiar with him?” repeated Alexander, feeling as though none of them actually knew who his client was.
‘I guess I was too excited back there. I should’ve just given Mr. Wadley a call! Why did I assume that these kids even knew who virtual-novel.net was?’ Alexander thought to himself.
Just as virtual-novel.net took his phone out, Marven’s distinct voice could be heard calling out for him.
“There’s no need to call me, Mr. Brookes! I’m right here!”
