Chapter 279

The housekeeper said, "Hello, I'm from Perfecturm Housekeeping Service. My last name is Fiona.

Scott looked through the peephole and saw a middle-aged woman in a yellow housekeeping uniform standing patiently outside the door. He opened the door and let her in.

The housekeeper seemed quite honest, speaking with a rural acnt, giving a genuine impression. After a brief introduction, she started cleaning without any delay. And she would also handle his three meals. With the housekeeper here, Ophelia could concentrate on her work without any concerns.

Ophelia left the community and stood by the roadside trying to catch a cab for a while. Although this area was well- positioned, the heavy traffic during the morning rush hour made it hard to get a taxi.

Ophelia glanced at her wristwatch, her elegant eyebrows furrowing together. She initially considered switching to the subway.

At that moment, a dark brown BMW stopped in front of her, and the window rolled down slowly. It was the neighbor she had encountered that morning.

The man said, "Hey, new neighbor! It's hard to find a taxi here in the morning. Where are you going? Maybe I can give you a ride if it's on my way."

The man's tone was casual, neither forceful nor overly eager. It was actually quite reassuring.

Ophelia looked around and, remembering she had something important to do today, she mentioned her location to see if she could catch a ride. There were many office buildings in that area, each housing several companies. She asked, "Are you going that way? I can pay you for the ride."

"What a coincidence. I work near there too. Get in, I'm heading that way. We're neighbors, no need to talk about paying for the ride. Don't be a stranger."

Since that was the case, Ophelia went ahead and opened the car door to sit in the backseat.

On the way, she learned that the man's name was Ethan, and he was in the construction materials business, owning a company and a factory. They had an occasional chat, mostly about work.

Ophelia didn't reveal too much, but before she got out, she asked Ethan for a business card. "Maybe we'll get a chance to work together in the future." Ethan politely opened the car door for her, a warm smile on his face.
