Chasing the Unexpected

Gabriel contacted the head of the R&D department at a rival company, smiling as he said, “Mr. Palfrey, I have some details about Prospectus Technology’s experimental research. Would you be interested?”

“Did you need to remind me that many times?” Nyla teased back

“Haha, let’s drop it. We need to hurry. It’s almost time. I brought dinner. You can eat on the way,” Valarie said.

They arrived at the auction just before 7:00 p.m.

After parking, Valarie quickly dragged Nyla inside. As they reached the entrance, they bumped into Clark and Jordyn

Valarie rolled her eyes. “Just my luck

Clark’s expression darkened, but he said nothing. Arguing with a woman in public would only make him look bad.
