Riches in Disguise

Chapter 359

As soon as I hung up the phone, Gabrielle's voice came from the door.

"Hey, guys. The faucet in my room doesn't seem to work well. Could you take a look at it for me?"

Just moments ago, the men in the office were fawning over her, but as soon as work was involved, they all started making excuses.

"Oh, the faucet's broken? You should call a repairman to check it."

She raised an eyebrow. "Do you have a repairman's number?"

"We don't have one. Today's our first day on the job."

"Alright. I'll figure it out myself."

She seemed disappointed and turned to leave, but I quickly called out, "Wait a minute. I know a little about fixing faucets. I can take a look for you."

"Okay. Thanks."

She smiled and led me upstairs.

I followed her not just to check the faucet but also because I wanted to talk to her.
