Chapter Eighty-Four: Opportunity

Finn Lewis bought an ice cream each for him and Zoe, then resumed driving back home. Seeing the two enjoying ice cream with gusto from his rearview mirror, Olivia Lee didn’t know what to say. They had driven back and forth for about half an hour, just to buy ice creams that cost one yuan each. Did they Imow how much fuel this car consumed? During this short time, the fuel cost would have bought much more ice cream.

If the ice cream was incredibly delicious, it would be another story, but it was merely a roadside stall’s product. Olivia could understand why Zoe might think it was delicious, but it was beyond her why Finn would think so. Still, she just thought about this in her mind, she had no say in what her master did. She still vividly remembered what had happened during the day.

Smashing a car worth more than forty million yuan, not even blinking! Though he didn’t pay for it himself, the money was still his. Olivia didn’t understand, and decided not to think about it. It could only be explained that they don’t understand their master’s world.

Once they arrived home, Zoe was left in their care while Finn took Julia Parker and Fishy Wells out. After looking at Julia Parker’s clothes, Finn said: “Go back and change into black or white clothes.”

Julia Parker was a bit confused but nodded and quickly walked towards her residence. Finn picked up his phone and called Benjamin Brown. Recognizing Finn’s voice, Benjamin Brown knew why he was calling. “We’ll meet at the crematorium at 3 in the afternoon.” After giving Finn the time and place, they chatted for a bit, and then hung up.

On the way back, Finn had called Benjamin Brown to arrange for the old woman’s cremation. But Finn didn’t plan to take Zoe. Zoe might understand that her grandmother passed away, but she definitely wouldn’t understand that her grandmother’s body had to be cremated. Telling her now would only make her sadder, so Finn didn’t plan on telling Zoe.

He could bring her over when she got older. Julia Parker quickly returned in different clothes, and the three of them got in Finn’s car. On the way, he told the other two their destination. Only then did they realize why Finn had wanted them to wear black or white clothes. Julia Parker bought a plot of land, and by the time dusk came and thanks to money being no object, Auntie King’s funerary urn was already buried there.

“Auntie King, I don’t know your name, but rest assured, I will take good care of Zoe. She won’t let you down.” Finn looked at the tombstone in front of him, bowed to the deceased, placed fresh flowers on the tombstone, then turned around to leave, “This damned world, people can’t even afford a bowl of rice while alive, and it requires at least hundreds of thousands of yuan to secure a burial plot after death.”

Julia Parker and Fishy Wells who were following behind him said nothing. The old lady was respectable. Under such tough circumstances, she brought up Zoe all by herself, yet nobody knew her name, not even the police or her neighbors, who only knew her surname was King and called her Auntie King.

By the time they returned home, it was already evening. When Finn checked his phone, he saw more than a dozen missed calls from his dorm mates. After teasing Zoe for a while, he picked up his phone and returned the Prince’s call.

The call connected quickly, the Prince’s voice immediately rang from the phone: “Jeez, Mr. Finn, could you be any more unreachable? Not answering your calls.”

“I was busy this afternoon, what’s up?” Finn asked.

“The matter you asked me to look into! There’s a perfect opportunity tonight, are you in?”

“For real?” Finn instantly jumped up from the sofa, quickly asked.

“Of course it’s real. Where are you now? We don’t have much time. Come to the school entrance, and we’ll talk about the plan when we meet up.” The Prince quickly replied.

Finn agreed and hung up, then quickly instructed Fishy Wells and the others: “You guys take care of Zoe, I need to go out for a bit.” Without waiting for their response, he grabbed his jacket and left.

When he arrived at the school gate, the Prince and the others were already there in their car. Seeing Finn approach, the Prince rolled down his window and said: “Mr. Finn, follow us, we’ll explain once we get to our destination.”

Following their car, the two vehicles quickly entered the city and ultimately stopped at a nearby business center. After parking the car, only then did the Prince, Daniel Pan, and Finn enter a tea house called Moon of West Lake. After they had found a spot to sit down, Finn immediately asked: “What’s this opportunity you’re talking about?”

“It’s this place we’re at right now. I’ve gone through the itinerary you provided and Kay Lee’s hobbies. If your information is accurate, then today’s a golden opportunity.” The Prince quickly replied, waving his phone, where he had stored the information Finn had given him.

“Oh? Tell me quickly.” Finn immediately asked with a curious face.

“Kay Lee is shooting a commercial in a nearby store today. That’s not the key point though, the key point is, it’s Kay Lee’s habit to have some food and tea after shooting a commercial, along with some pastries. One of her favorite pastries is a specific dish offered here at West Lake. And I’ve checked; this tea house doesn’t have many customers due to its high-priced items. Practically no one in her vicinity knows about Kay Lee’s habit and so, today might be your chance to leave an impression on her.”

“So, all that’s been said was to allow me to leave an impression on her?” Finn was somewhat speechless.

“No kidding, Mr. Finn. Do you know who you’re courting? A star known to be the most perfect woman in the eyes of all men. A famous actress/singer hybrid, recognized worldwide. Courting such a woman is impossible to be achieved in one step. Therefore, your first goal should be to leave a deep impression, don’t rush it! You should know that people like Kay Lee always live under the spotlight, always alert to any stranger who approaches them when they’re out in public!” The Prince sounded very assertive.

Listening to the Prince, Finn thought it made some sense. “This restaurant has an elegant decoration and not many customers, so listen to my arrangement:

you hide outside first until she arrives. After she’s ordered, you pretend to be in a hurry and say from behind that you want to order the Moon of West Lake pastry. Whether they’re males or females, there’s always a special attention for these people who share the same interest. So, you will leave an impression on her. Following that, we need to strike while the iron is hot. Tomorrow morning, she has another event, we will find a way to create an accidental meeting with you. Since she saw you just last night, her impression of you will deepen.”

The Prince rapidly went through his plan..
