Chapter 143 Why Are You Here?
Valentine family was an old residence planted with many parasol trees that were older than Elaine. Even though it was the scorching season, it stood proudly.
The scorching sunlight shone through the gaps, casting mottled spots of light on the tree–lined path, looking very much like copper coins from ancient times.
Elaine sat on the wide window sill with a book in her hand. Because she was in the room, she was dressed casually. She was wearing a pink halter top and shorts. Her black hair was tied into a bun, and her face was fair and flawless. She had a youthful aura.
Her feet were injured and it was difficult for her to move, so she stayed in her room to read for a week. The servants sent the food to her room, and reading was the best medicine to pass the time.
There was a knock on the door and she called out to come in. The servant pushed the door open and entered the room with the cut watermelon. She placed it on the table. “Elaine, the old master wants you to send a document from the study to the company.”
Four or five days had passed. Her foot injury was almost healed. She had been staying in her room all day. It was time for her to go out for a walk. If this continued, she was afraid that she would grow mold. She folded a corner of the page to make a mark, then closed it. “Got it.”

Half an hour ago, in the CEO’s office.
After Jackson and Marcelo, Cordell finished discussing business, he got up and tidied his suit jacket. Just as he was about to leave, Marcelo said, “Mr. Mason, why don’t we have dinner together?”
Marcelo’s expectant gaze was too obvious. Jackson said indifferently, “I have an appointment with Elbert.”
Everyone in A City knew that Cooke and Mason families families were old friends, but because of Galen’s accidental death, the relationship between the two families had soured. Therefore, it was uncertain if Jackson could get in touch with Elbert on this trip.
Marcelo knew about the origin of Cooke and Mason families’s family. He suggested, “Elbert likes to taste tea. Mr. Mason can suit her taste. Elaine’s tea skills are not bad. You can let her accompany
you.“Cordell’s hand that was holding the document paused. He frowned and said, “Dad, Elaine’s leg is injured.”
Marcelo’s tone was cold. “It’s already done.”
Cordell glanced at the expressionless Marcelo and pursed his lips. His face was a little pale because he used too much strength. In the end, he took the project plan in his hand and left the office.
As the office door closed, Marcelo looked at Jackson and asked, “What do you think, Mr. Mason?”

Jackson’s ink–black pupils were calm and indifferent. “If Ms. Valentine has time to accompany me, that would be great.”
Marcelo said with a smile, “I’ll call her now and ask her to come
over.“…

The servant left the room and Elaine came down from the windowsill. He took out a beige dress from the wardrobe and changed into it. He took off his bun and tied it into a ponytail. Then, he patted some toner on his face. His skin looked tender, like a freshly peeled egg.
She went to Marcelo’s study and found the document he wanted on the desk. She called Domingo to confirm it again and went out with her bag.
This was her first time stepping into Building Valentine Group. She told the receptionist her name. Although the receptionist had never seen her before, how many people in A City were called Elaine?
The receptionist was in her early twenties and had a professional smile on her beautiful face. “Elaine, the CEO has been waiting for you.”
Elaine took the CEO’s private elevator to the top floor. The elevator dinged, and the door slowly opened. The outline of the man standing outside was deep and handsome. His temperament was outstanding, and his dark eyes were like a calm pool that was bottomless.
What was he doing here?
