Destined by One Night: The CEO's Pursuit

Chapter 191

Marilyn smiled, feeling flattered.

It was too sudden.

Some said luck was unreliable.

Not so for Marilyn.

"Dad, I'm joking. We'll talk about this later. I hope you and Mom enjoy your vacation. But remember to bring me a gift!" Marilyn said.

To be able to receive a gift from her father, she would be very happy.

"I see, silly girl!"

The two chatted for a bit more before hanging up.

Marilyn looked at the nervous Denise and smiled. "Denise, my dad happens to own this shop. The area is perfect for a barbecue restaurant. The rent is 37,000 dollars a year. But Dad had cut off half of the rent for you this year. So, let's go and take a look, see if you like it!"

Denise was so excited that she was speechless, couldn't believe that such a good thing happened to her.

The rent was indeed expensive!

She didn't have so much money at the moment.

"Lynn, doing business in the nearby night market is a good choice. I came here before."

Marilyn looked at her and said, "Denise, shall we go over and take a look first? There are people there who will receive us. You can start your business right away. This place is not far from home. I will come over to pick you up at night!"

"No, working every day is already hard for you." Denise knew that Marilyn had helped herself a lot. She felt like meeting Marilyn was the luckiest thing ever happened to her.

"Nah, my work is fine. I sit in the office every day. Besides, I can get some food if I come here. I adore your cooking! It's simply amazing."

"Lynn, if you like it, I can cook for you every day!"

"Sure!" Marilyn readily agreed.

Eating delicious food was a big part of life.

They chatted the way to the shop.

In Roland's spacious and bright office.

Roland had been very busy these days, he didn't even have weekends.

The sudden call made him feel a little down.

His deep gaze was focused on the news on his phone. He lightly tapped on the desk with his slender fingers. His handsome face looked solemn.

The person investigating Marilyn was indeed Malcolm.

Roland twitched his lips. He looked at the time and called Malcolm.

Malcolm was working at home. Suddenly, he saw an unfamiliar phone number. He hesitated for a moment before picking it up.

"Hey!" His tone was extremely cold.

"Mr. Lowe, it's me, Roland. We shall meet."

When Malcolm heard that it was Roland, his expression instantly changed. He said in a deep voice, "Is there something?"

"Yes!" Roland responded coldly.

"Address!" Malcolm said, his expression slightly grave.

Roland said, "Vogue Plaza Restaurant, six o'clock." His tone grew heavier.

Malcolm sensed something unusual.

"Alright!" After hanging up the phone, Malcolm looked at the computer with a cold expression, typing on the keyboard quickly.

He didn't even need to think to figure out Roland's purpose.

Marilyn and Denise arrived at the night market street of the Lakeside District.

The streets were very spacious and clean. Every shop was very big.

Denise smiled and said, "Lynn, look, this is the one!"

Denise pointed excitedly at a shop opposite her. At this time, the door was opened and a middle-aged man in a suit was waiting for them!

Marilyn smiled and said, "Denise, let's get in and take a look."

"Okay!"

The two walked over, and the middle-aged man smiled.

Marilyn politely asked, "Are you Mr. Dempsey, if I may ask?"

"Yes, Miss, I am Edmund. Mr. Greer told me to wait for his daughter here. It must be you!" Edmund looked at Marilyn with great respect.

He had seen her before. And he remembered Bradley said she was a good person.

And now he found that she was very beautiful.

"Yes, Mr. Dempsey." Marilyn instantly had a feeling that she had become a lady.

"Miss Greer, I have been with Mr. Greer since I was a teenager. I have never seen Mr. Greer as happy as last night.

"Mr. Greer and I are as close as brothers. I know very well what he wants these years. Thank you, Miss Greer, for giving Mr. Greer a home."

Bradley was an orphan. He had always longed for a family. Back then...

Edmund shook his head when he thought of what happened in the past.

When Marilyn heard this, she felt sorry. She knew that there must be something going on between Elvira and Bradley. Otherwise, they would have been together long ago.

"Let's go. I'll show you around the shop."

As Edmund spoke, he turned around and walked in, saying, "This place used to be a restaurant, but the previous owner's son wasted lost all his savings on gambling. So, he couldn't afford this shop anymore. He had moved away just two days ago. If you came a little later, someone might have taken it."

"Wow!" Denise looked at the spacious and bright room, suddenly feeling happy.

"Lynn, this place is really good!" She said excitedly.

Edmund said, "Yes, it is. The night market is also very lively."

"Thank you, Mr. Dempsey. I'll take it. I've been here before." Denise stopped walking. There was no need to decorate the shop again. We'll just need to change the signboard.

She had always been looking for shops in this area. The night market here had been passed down for generations and available shops were always hard to get!

Edmund smiled and said, "Alright! Let's sign the contract today. Mr. Greer has already told me the details and the process is very simple."

"Thank you, Mr. Dempsey!" Marilyn said with a grateful smile.

She knew that Denise had been anxious. She would feel better now with the shop.

Denise also said, "Thank you, Mr. Dempsey. Let's sign the contract today, so you won't bother to come back later!"

"That's what I meant!" Edmund said as he took out the contract from his briefcase, placed it on the table, and signed it.

Then it was Denise's turn.

Denise was very grateful to Bradley, she signed her name directly without checking the items!

Edmund took out the key from his bag and handed it to Denise. "Miss Warren, it's done. This is the key to the shop. And it's yours now. I wish you to be successful!"

"Thank you, Mr. Dempsey!" Denise took the key excitedly.

"You are welcome! Miss Warren. I get to go now!" As Edmund spoke, his gaze landed on Marilyn with a light smile. He liked Marilyn.
