Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chapter 99 Getting Drunk Alone

After realizing she had bumped into someone, Erin quickly apologized, “I’m sorry!”

As she looked up at the person, she was stunned. The handsome Louis was already grinning delightedly. “Miss Lane, it’s you! What a coincidence to see you again…”

“I’m sorry, I’m in a bit of a hurry…‘

Louis glanced at the bank card in Erin’s hands with his blue eyes. He then retrieved a card case from his suit’s pocket and handed her a simple business card.

Holding the card with two hands, he said sincerely, “Miss Lane, I know you’re in a hurry. So I won’t keep you long. Here is my business card. I hope you’ll take it. I’m really sorry for mistaking you for my deceased wife last time. If you need any help in the future, please don’t hesitate to contact me.”

Looking at the business card in his hand, Erin didn’t know whether to accept it, but Louis continued to smile at her, his attitude sincere and full of goodwill.

Eventually, she took Louis‘ business card and said, “I’m sorry, I don’t have a business card…”

Louis smiled. “It’s okay. As long as you don’t throw away my business card.”

Erin had actually thought about doing just that, but being called out directly by Louis made her feel somewhat embarrassed. Of course not…” She continued, “I’m sorry, I really have to go now. I have some matters to attend to.”

Louis smiled faintly. “Of course, Miss Lane. I hope to see you again next time.”

Erin waved to him and quickly walked away.

Louis stared at Erin’s disappearing figure and couldn’t return to his senses for a long time. A hint of fondness appeared in his eyes as he looked at her.

His assistant asked, “Sir, since you’re interested in getting closer to her, why not find a way to create more opportunities?” Louis’s mysterious eyes gleamed with a hint of sharpness. “There’s no need to rush. Someday, she’ll come to me on her own.”

As Erin arrived outside the restaurant, Quentin had already left in his car.

For a moment, she didn’t know what to do, but then she realized she could simply mail the bank card to his company when she had the time. With that sorted, the only thing on her mind was that Chandler was getting engaged next month.
