Chapter 45 Choose a Gift

Orchid Manor, the most expensive compound in Los Angeles, was also the only villa area in Los Angeles. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Audrey lived here. Of course, so did Gerald now.

At this time, not far from the entrance of the compound, Gerald ran out and looked around. He found that the cars around him were constantly coming and going. He frowned slightly and said, “Did I get it wrong?”

Just as he was about to enter the room, he felt a sense of crisis, but after he walked for a while, the sense of crisis disappeared. However, Gerald still chose to run out to take a look.

He frowned suspiciously and walked to a place not far from the compound. He bought some kebabs and quietly looked around to see if there was anything wrong.

However, he found nothing at all. With the kebabs, Gerald breathed a sigh of relief and walked home!

Bradley obviously handled things well. The villa was very clean, and all kinds of things were ready, including bedding.

The fridge was also filled with food and drinks.

When Gerald went back, Trevon was looking around excitedly. When he saw Gerald running back, he said excitedly, “Oh my. I never thought that I would have the chance to live in such a big and luxurious house in my life.”

“Stop talking nonsense. Come and eat!” Gerald said resignedly.

Trevon chuckled. The two of them sat at the table. Gerald looked at Trevon and asked, “By the way, when will Liam be discharged?”

“The doctor said that it should be around a week.” As Trevon said this, he frowned and said, “Now, I’m afraid that

woman will cause trouble.”

“Why didn’t you divorce her before she ran away?” Gerald frowned and asked.

Trevon sighed and said, “At that time, I couldn’t bear to do that. I married her at an early age. When I came from the countryside to Los Angeles, I was in my twenties. Then I’ve just let it be for so many years. And I just can’t contact

her.”

“It was my fault,” Trevon cursed, “This time, after you offered me this job and salary, I really couldn’t help but brag to my relatives and friends. I think it has reached her ears.”

“Anyway, you should be careful. Don’t give her even a cent, understand?” Gerald said.

Trevon nodded. “OK!”

At this time, Gerald’s phone suddenly rang. He picked up the phone and found that the caller was Keira. Gerald picked up the phone and said, “Hello, Ms. Bender.”

On the other side of the phone, Keira said with a smile, “Don’t be so polite. You can call me Keira.”

Gerald was speechless. “Alright, what’s the matter?”

Keira nodded and said, “Tomorrow is my birthday. I plan to hold a birthday party and invite some friends and colleagues. Would you like to come for fun?”

“Of course,” Gerald said with a smile. Then he asked, “Oh right, I am working for Forever Group right now as Audrey’s

assistant. I may have to ask for her permission!”

“Don’t worry. Audrey and I are close. How can I not invite her to my birthday party?” Keira said with a smile.

Gerald slightly breathed a sigh of relief. Before the people of Red Lotus in Los Angeles were completely dealt with, he had to stay closer to Keira so as to avoid any

accidents.

“Then that’s it. Tomorrow night, we’ll go to Marriott Hotel for dinner and then go to Glory Club,” Keira said.

“No problem!” Gerald nodded.

After hanging up the phone, Gerald muttered to himself.

Since it was her birthday, he had to prepare a present for her.

Moreover, before he recovered his memory this time, Keira had indeed helped him a lot. From the beginning, it was she who had brought him into New Bank.

If he had not confirmed that he was rich, he would still think that Macy was a liar at that time. Maybe he wouldn’t have gone to see Valery or recovered his memory.

Keira also helped him acquire Vivian’s logistics company. Of course, for the current Gerald, this was not a big deal, but for him back then, this was a huge favor.

“I have to prepare the gift well.” Gerald let out a sigh of relief.

After eating the kebabs, Trevon cleaned up the mess and the two of them returned to their own rooms.

After a silent night, Gerald followed her out of the door after confirming that Audrey had gone out the next day.

When he arrived at the company, he walked to Audrey’s office. Seeing Gerald arrive, Keira pouted and said, “You don’t have to stay in the company today. Come with me.”

“What are you going to do?” Gerald asked.

“Today is Keira’s birthday. I am going to pick a gift for her,” Audrey said with a smile, “Didn’t she invite you too? Are you planning to go empty–handed?”

Gerald was secretly speechless and thought, do you have to skip work to pick a gift?

In fact, Audrey did not seem to have much work to do. She spent every day reviewing documents and signing them. Neither was she in charge of any projects. Bradley was the one to make decisions.

Gerald nodded. “Fine!”

Audrey threw the car key to Gerald and said, “Let’s go to All Antiques!”

Gerald was taken aback!

He knew about All Antiques. This place was an antique market in Los Angeles. It was even one of the biggest antique markets in the country.

This place was also one of the symbols of Los Angeles. Many rich people from other places would come here to buy things. Of course, because it was a tourist place, there were naturally many fake goods.

Gerald was not unfamiliar with this place. In the past, he and Trevon would often come to All Antiques to work part–time. Of course, what they did was always some hard work like unloading.

“Keira is celebrating her birthday. What are you going to buy at All Antiques? Are you going to buy an antique chamber pot for her?” Gerald asked speechlessly.

Audrey glared at him and said, “You have no class at all. Keira likes collecting antiques. My dad has a lot of them, but they are all my dad’s precious things. He can’t bear to give them away, so I plan to go to All Antiques to see if I can get one for her.”

Gerald thought and said, “She likes antiques?”

Audrey nodded and said, “Yes.”

Gerald nodded thoughtfully and did not say anything else. Soon, the two drove toward All Antiques.

All Antiques was a very messy place. There were many large stores, and of course, there were many stands.

After Gerald and Audrey parked the car, the two walked into All Antiques and strolled around. Audrey seemed to have reserved a place and then headed straight for a very large antique shop.

When they arrived at the entrance of the shop, a middle–aged man wearing gold–rimmed glasses walked up and said, “Oh my, Audrey, there you are.”

Audrey smiled sweetly and said, “Elliot, I don’t know much about antiques. Don’t trick me.”

“How can this be? If I trick you, Bradley will definitely eat me alive,” the middle–aged man said with a smile.

Then he saw Gerald and said in surprise, “Hey, Gerald!”

Gerald touched his nose. He knew this middle–aged man. He had worked here a few times. Because he was very strong

and worked fast, of course, he was easily remembered.

The middle–aged man was called Elliot Newell. He had the largest antique shop in All Antiques. Of course, Gerald also knew that this kind of person was usually the most cunning.

“You know each other?” Audrey asked in surprise.

“Yes, Gerald came to work here before. He is very strong. Why are you two together?” He asked with a suspicious

expression.

As far as he knew, Gerald and Audrey were from two different worlds. One was at the bottom of the ladder and the other was from a rich family.

Audrey said with a smile, “He is working for me now.”

Elliot was dumbfounded and looked at Gerald in confusion.

Audrey did not care about this. She said with a smile, “I do not know much about antiques. Elliot, my budget is 50 thousand dollars or so. Please pick a few delicate things for me to choose from.”

There was an uproar all of a sudden!

Just as he finished speaking, a loud noise suddenly came from across the street. Gerald looked over and found that there was a commotion in the shop opposite them. Then a group of people started to gather around there.

“What’s happening across the street?” Audrey asked suspiciously.

Elliot showed a hint of a sneer. “I guess some visitors are going to be swindled!”
