Chapter 99
Chapter 99
This episode between Frank Jacob and Erin Matthew did not attract much attention from Trixie.
In the next few days, she was still trying to investigate Allyson Baker.
She thought about persuading Allyson Baker to see if she could learn something about her sister.
But she was worried that she would go back on her word. In case she told Allyson Baker, everything she did will definitely go into waste.
Suddenly, Trixie thought of Eddison Miller.
When Allyson Baker pretended to be her sister, it was Eddison Miller who led pretense. Is that because Eddison Miller had an unusual relationship with the two sisters?
From there, Trixie couldn't wait to find Eddison Miller for verification.
It's not very easy to wait until work was done, Trixie stormed to the elevator and went out to drive into Daryl's company. Unexpectedly on her way, she met Frank Jacob.
Trixie wanted to say hello and wanted to leave immediately because she's in a hurry. Unfortunately, Frank Jacob seemed to have something to say to her.
"Are you free now, Trixie?"
Trixie glanced at the time.
It's 30 minutes past three.
There was still about half an hour before Daryl would leave work, and she shouldn't be too late.
She looked up and smiled at Frank and nodded. "Yes. What's the matter, Director Frank? Is there a problem?"
"It's not convenient to talk about it here. Let's go to the coffee shop next door and have a cup of tea or coffee."
She wanted to rebut when he accidentally caught a glimpse of Erin Matthew standing beside Frank Jacob's car outside. Her eyes stared straight at her and followed with eye rolling.
"Erin Matthew is there?"
Trixie glanced at Frank Jacob and found that he seemed to know Erin was outside, but his eyes did not even look outside.
At that time, Trixie did not understand what the two people really meant.
Hadn't the previous quarrel been reconciled yet?
After all, Trixie was only an employee and was not qualified to participate in the boss' private affairs. However, in terms of emotion and reason, she was still the wife of the shop-owner.
When Erin Matthew made that supercilious look, it made her very upset. She then simply agreed to Frank Jacob's invitation for a conversation.
Nonetheless, she needed to listen to what he really wanted to say.
They sat by the window and ordered two cups of Iced Americano coffee.
Through the window, Trixie could still see Erin, standing beside Frank Jacob's car, looking very angry.
"Did you hear it in the stairs the other day?"
Frank Jacob cut to the chase. He did not give Trixie any room to react at that time.
She paused for a few seconds, smiled and said, "I'm really sorry that day. I didn't hold the water firmly. I just heard you quarreling with Erin Matthew there..."
Trixie didn't want to say that she heard the whole conversation between Frank Jacob and Erin Matthew.
She just wanted to know the relationship between Daryl and the club. She was not interested of any other information.
"Whether you listen or not, I just want to advise you not to investigate the club. What do you want to know, I'll help you find out, is that ok?"
His almost pleading tone made Trixie frown.
She didn't quite understand what Frank Jacob meant by saying that.
Frank made it clear before that he did not need her to be involved in this matter. But why there's a need for him to persuade her multiple times?
Trixie really did not understand.
She thought for a moment, took a deep breath and said, "Can you tell me why you don't want me to check the club?"
"I..."
Before Frank could even continue his sentence, Trixie started saying, "I know that you have information about the club there, but you won't tell me. Director Frank, I am not a detective, and I am not investigating a case. I just want to know if my husband is cheating and joined this club."
Trixie laughed aloud and continued. "Why? Will I die when I found out something related to this club?"
She was really angry. She didn't like Frank Jacob's hesitation.
Clearly, a person who was highly effective in his work was weak in such matters.
It made her like him a little less than before.
Looking at Frank Jacob, who bowed his head and became silent, Trixie lost patience and stood up with her bag. "Director Frank, I know you were interested in me before. But now that you are married, we are only co-workers, so I hope you don't mind my business."
She finished her speech with an attitude and did not wait for Frank Jacob to give a response. She then went out straight away.
Walking to the parking lot to drive, she glanced at Erin standing not far away, and then sat in the cab to start the car.
Erin saw her come out and hurried inside the coffee shop to find Frank Jacob.
Trixie took one last look and drove away.
When Trixie arrived at Daryl's Company. She entered the door, and was greeted with eyes by Eddison Miller.
[As both exchanged conversations]
Eddison: "Mrs. Blayden, you're here."
Trixie: "Where's your boss?"
Eddison: "Mr. Blayden is always in a meeting, why don't you wait for him in the office first?"
Trixie: "No, no."
Trixie casually mentioned Daryl, and then directly changed the subject.
"Is it convenient for me to come to you for something?" All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
She took off her sunglasses and calmly looked at Eddison Miller. Her gaze pierced straight Eddison Miller's eyes.
But Eddison was not shaken. He stood his ground, as if he had been expecting Mrs. Blayden to come.
"Of course, it's convenient, what it is you would like to ask about?"
"No, we'll talk in your office."
Afterwards, Trixie simply entered directly his office, and when he left, he glanced at two little sisters standing at the front desk muttering.
Sitting on the sofa, Trixie reached for the water handed by Eddison and took a sip.
She didn't speak for a long time. And Eddison was a little impatient and couldn't help asking, "Mrs. Blayden, what do you want from me?"
"The previous Allison Baker, I remember she seems to be some relative of yours."
Listening to Trixie mentioning Allison, Eddison's face instantly became very crucial.
He opened his mouth and wanted to explain it to her. But couldn't do so when he looked at her face.
However, he still started to defend himself. "Mrs. Blayden, don't get me wrong. A relative in the family introduced her before. I am not sure about the details."
"You don't have to hide things now, I know everything already." Trixie did not give Eddison Miller any face. "Just tell me honestly, did you know that she has a sister?"
Eddison hesitated for a moment. He looked at Trixie and nodded.
"I see. I knew it. All her information and documents were used by her sister at that time."
Eddison's answer made her excited. It gave her a huge amount of new hope.
She couldn't wait to ask, "Do you know if her sister is married?"
Eddison wanted to think about it, but still nodded, "The sisters were all from the countryside before. My sister Allyson made great achievements and came to this city after taking an examination in a medical school. After becoming a psychologist, she took in her sister. Their family is related to my family, and I also heard about it. A few years ago, my sister Allyson met a man, and they got married, but they soon divorced. My sister Allyson went out clean, as if she was sorry for the man."
The information was not much different from what Trixie found from Allyson Baker.
It was to say, Allyson was really married, and she divorced her man, most likely because of the club.
