Chapter 646 Ezekiel’s Refusal

To my surprise, Colin managed to find his way to the business classroom, much to my disappointment. Despite my wish for him to leave, there seemed to be no way to make him do so.

Ignoring his presence, I turned over and tried to sleep.

However, in the middle of the night, I was abruptly awakened by Colin's loud snoring. Annoyed and unable to sleep, I grabbed the book I had brought on the plane and started reading. Once Colin finally awoke, I took my in-flight meal and made another attempt to sleep.

"Are you going to sleep again?" he asked.

Without responding to him, I merely rolled over and made an effort to return to slumber.

"Look at you being all aloof," he grumbled.

Eventually, we arrived in Bryxton while I remained in slumber, and it was Colin who stirred me awake upon our plane's arrival. As we stepped off the aircraft, we were met with the sight of Gary waiting outside.

There were twenty-four bodyguards behind him.

After Joseph left, Anthony hired another assistant to fill the position.

I approached Gary and inquired, "Have you been busy lately?"

Gary shook his head. "It's all within my area of expertise. I can handle it with ease. President Felix, are you heading to Eldham now?"

I gently rubbed my cheeks and replied, "Let's go home first."

Feeling exhausted and in need of some rest, I decided to take half a day to recover.

Besides, given the time difference, it was still early morning.

As we left the airport, Gary provided an update and reported, "President Felix, Mr. Briar has transferred all the tasks to me. We'll head to Eldham early tomorrow morning. Also, the previous villa is no longer suitable for living. Mr. Xenos has arranged for Mr. Briar to purchase a new villa, which is currently undergoing renovations. President Felix, I'll take you back to your apartment for the time being."

Curious, I asked, "Did Shawn specifically request the renovations?"

"Yes, it's being done in the style of the villa in Espoo. The front yard and garden are twice the size of the previous villa, and Mr. Xenos instructed Mr. Briar to plant flowers and bluebells," Gary explained.

Immediately, thoughts of the villa in Eldham flooded my mind.

The surroundings there were adorned with a breathtaking sea of bluebells.

"Okay, let's head back to the apartment for now," I decided.

With that, Gary sent me to the apartment. Just as Colin wanted to follow me inside, Gary abruptly stopped him, saying, "Men and women should be separated."

Confused, Colin questioned, "Then where am I supposed to sleep?"

"The apartment next door is also registered under President Felix's name," Gary promptly clarified.

Without making a fuss, Colin acquiesced and made his way to the neighboring apartment.

After freshening up with a shower and taking some herbal medicine, I settled onto the bed and sent a message to Shawn. 'I've just arrived in Bryxton.'

It was currently 9.00PM in Espoo.

Shawn's reply came swiftly. 'Okay, good night.'

Glancing at the time, I realized it was already 3.00AM.

Although I had managed to sleep for five or six hours on the plane, I still felt fatigued. Closing my eyes, I succumbed to a deep sleep. In the early morning, Rudy Adams unexpectedly called me, which was a rare occurrence.

It seemed that he was well aware of my return to Bryxton.

As I picked up the call, I heard him inquire, "Have you arrived back in Bryxton?"
