Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez by Selina Gorges

Howard árrived at Skyland ten minutes carly. What a coincidence. He had a few villas in Skyland and occasionally stayed here, but he didn’t visit often.

As soon as the security guard saw the car, he knew another important person was back. He grinned from ear to ear. “Welcome home, sir,” the security guard greeted warmly.

Howard nodded slightly from inside the car to show acknowledgment. “Thanks for your hard work,” he said appreciatively.

The young guard’s heart practically leapt with joy. He thought, The people living in Skyland are quite a classy bunch. So I hardly faced any trouble, but it is the first time someone responded to me actively. Oh, right…There is someone else. That incredibly cool and beautiful girl who rode her scooter out every day. She would sometimes stop to say hello. She even eyed his lunchbox the other day. So, he ordered one more for her. They ended up having lunch together in the security booth. That girl really enjoyed her meal.

He guessed that she might be a maid for one of the families. He thought, ‘Otherwise, why would she ride a little scooter every day? Her employers must be really stingy. It’s such a waste for someone as pretty and charming as her. He had been working as a security guard at Skyland for years. He swore she was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen there.

His thoughts were off in the clouds. By the time he snapped back to reality, Howard’s car was already far down the road.

In front of Villa 3, number 401, Howard adjusted his suit. Turning his head to look at Liam, he asked, “So, how does it look? Is there anything that doesn’t fit right?”

Liam’s eyebrow twitched. With professional composure, he replied, “Mr. Yates, your outfit is absolutely perfect.”

Howard had already asked Liam three times on the way over. Liam’s throat was getting dry. He thought, ‘How could there be any problems?’ A custom-made, handcrafted suit cost 150 thousand dollars. The cufflinks were bought at Sotheby’s auction, worth 1.5 million dollars. Even the shoes were a global limited edition, only five pairs available worldwide. This outfit was so extravagant, he felt like kneeling in it. He thought, ‘Why does Mr. Yates still think something’s not right?”

Howard had already informed Liam about the meeting with Yvette. He told Liam to wait in the car and went up to knock on the door on his own.
