Expert Down The Mountain by Summer
Chapter 5
“I actually planned to go out. I’m only going out with you so Mr. Gardner won’t suspect us. Do you really think your grandfather, who founded Gardner Corporation, won’t figure us out?”
Korah was stunned. She then said embarrassingly, “Of course, I know that. I don’t need you to tell me this!”
When they were about to reach the mall, Korah stepped on the brake and said coldly, “Get down. Go wherever you want. I’ll call you when I’m ready to go home.”
It would only make sense if they headed home together after having left together. They would be slipping up if they came home separately.
“I don’t have a phone.”
Korah frowned. ‘In this era, how is it possible for someone to not own a phone?’
After looking at Cyrus’s clothes, which were obviously made in a village, Korah felt as if the world was even more unfair. ‘This man obviously doesn’t deserve me, the daughter of the wealthy Gardner family.
‘Grandpa, what are you thinking…?
‘Good thing that I’ve made a call in advance to fake the marriage license. What would my life become if I were to really marry him?!’
“I could wait for you here before dusk?” Cyrus asked.
Korah frowned. She snorted and gave him a credit card. “Go get a phone. Grandpa is going to scold me if we went out and didn’t get you a phone.”
Cyrus thought about it. ‘She’s right. It’s quite inconvenient if I don’t have a phone. I’m not in a village anymore.’
“Thanks.”
Korah ignored him. She stepped on the accelerator and her BMW Z4 sped off with a loud noise.
Cyrus sighed as he looked at the credit card in his hand. Then, he sighed again. “If Mr. Frank hadn’t taken the money in my piggy bank, I wouldn’t have ended up like this…”
Just when Cyrus was about to leave, he heard a familiar voice calling his name.
“Cyrus!”
It was Dr. Truman Cohen.
“Dr. Cohen,” Cyrus replied.
“Why are you here alone?” Truman asked, getting out of his car.
