Last timeâs experience at Riverhaven Mall wasnât so pleasant, but itâs the only large mall in Riverhaven County, so thereâs no other choice.
âHopefully, I wonât run into the same type of people as last time.â
âHaha, no way, those two from last time were fired by Augustus Wolfe, werenât they?â
Greg Jensen laughed and, holding Lois Abbottâs hand, proceeded inside.
Lois Abbott looked at the two of them, pouting and followed behind like a wronged child.
The three of them entered the mall and suddenly spotted a familiar figureâit was Roger Hall, the store manager from last time.
Only now, Roger Hall was dressed in a security guardâs uniform, patrolling at the entrance.
âYo, Mr. Jensenâ¦â
Upon seeing Greg Jensen, Roger Hall hurried over, bowing and scraping as he greeted him with a delighted face, âMr. Jensen, just a moment, Iâll call the boss right away.â
Greg Jensen didnât have a good impression of this man and said coldly, âNo need, Iâll leave as soon as Iâm done shopping.â
âDonât say that, Mr. Wolfe specifically instructed me to keep an eye out at the door, and if you came to our mall again, to ensure you have a VIP shopping experience.â
While speaking, Roger Hall made a phone call to Augustus Wolfe.
Greg Jensen frowned but stopped walking nonetheless.
âMr. Jensen, welcomeâ¦â
It wasnât long before Augustus Wolfe hurried over with an enthusiastic smile on his face and extended his hand for a shake with Greg Jensen.
âYouâre too kind, Mr. Wolfe.â
âHaha, itâs only properâ¦â
Augustus Wolfe laughed gently, asking, âWhat brings you here today? Looking for anything in particular?â
Greg Jensen replied offhand, âBuying a gift for an elder.â
After thinking for a moment, Augustus Wolfe smiled and said, âIf itâs for a male elder, then perhaps some tea sets or related items would be good; if itâs for a female elder, jewelry and skincare products are nice choices.â
âA male elder.â
âWell, letâs head over to Jade Pavilion then, they specialize in various tea ceremony itemsâ¦â
As Augustus Wolfe explained the history of Jade Pavilion, he led Greg Jensen and his companions forward.
Greg Jensen responded politely but was somewhat puzzled.
Though the rich in Riverhaven County treated him well out of consideration for Chestor Ware, Augustus Wolfeâs enthusiasm seemed a bit over the top.
Not only did he bring Roger Hall back to specifically wait for him at the entrance, but he also personally took him around the mall.
Such a significant figure as the boss personally acting as a guideâ¦
Greg Jensen didnât think he warranted that level of treatment.
Hesitating for a moment, he simply smiled and said, âMr. Wolfe, youâre being so polite, Iâm not accustomed to it. If you have any instructions, just say so.â
âOh goodness, I wouldnât dare give you instructions.â
Augustus Wolfeâs face showed a flicker of alarm, and then looking around stealthily, he asked in a low voice, âAbout the Fragrance Night Clubâ¦â
Greg Jensen immediately caught on and laughed, âHas news of it spread this quickly?â
âHaha, Iâve just heard that this matter is related to a Mr. Jensen, so I thought it might be you.â
Augustus Wolfe chuckled in explanation, while inwardly he breathed a sigh of relief.
The news of Fragrance Night Clubâs shutdown was just gossip for the general public.
But, for someone like Augustus Wolfe with a small fortune, it was akin to an earthquake.
Though Kenny Walker has gone legit, his influence was still substantial.
In the whole of Riverhaven County, the number of people who dared to cross Kenny Walker, and could also shut down Fragrance Night Club, could be counted on one hand.
Anyone of these people was someone Augustus Wolfe couldnât afford to offend.
At first, he thought the club would reopen in a few days.
But half a month had passed, and Fragrance Night Club was still closed tight.
What did that mean?
The fact that Kenny Walker lost, and lost without a chance, was evident from the long-standing non-opening of Fragrance Night Club.
Better to provoke Aamos Walker than to mess with Mr. Jensen!
As soon as this saying spread, Augustus Wolfe immediately thought of Greg Jensen.
Having been in Riverhaven County for many years, the only memorable and capable Mr. Jensen he knew was him.
Thus, without any hesitation, Augustus Wolfe immediately called Roger Hall back, instructing him to keep watch at the door; as soon as Greg Jensen showed up, he should swiftly notify him.
Whether he could latch onto a big leg wasnât the issue, the least he could do was not to offend the other party.
To Augustus Wolfeâs surprise, heâd bet right; Greg Jensen was indeed the Mr. Jensen who made Kenny Walker swallow his pride.
With the opportunity to hitch his wagon to a star right in front of him, he naturally couldnât let it slip by and personally took Greg Jensen and his party for a tour around the mall.
â Who is this guy, so young yet able to have Augustus Wolfe guide him personally?â
âDonât know, maybe heâs from some important family.â
âHeâs so handsome, if only I could marry himâ¦â
âWith that attitude of yours, I wouldnât dream of it.â
âAnd you think youâre pretty?â
As they wandered around Riverhaven Mall, the female sales associates immediately cast enthusiastic glances their way.
Greg Jensen ignored this, Lois Abbott paid it little attention, but Lois Snow was on high alert, clinging to Greg Jensenâs arm and deliberately lifting her small chin at the female sales associates.
After making a big loop, under the hospitable invitation of Augustus Wolfe, Greg Jensen and company then followed him to the top-floor restaurant for a meal.
Seizing the opportunity when they went to the restroom, Lois Abbott pulled her sister aside without speaking, and just watched her with a beaming smile.
Feeling uneasy under the gaze, Lois Snow faltered, âSis, why are you looking at me like that?â
âDo you have feelings for Greg Jensen?â
âSis, what⦠what are you saying? Heâs my brother-in-law; how could I possibly have feelings for him?â
Lois Snow, having her little crush exposed by her sister, immediately panicked, stammering without knowing how to explain.
Lois Abbott, holding her sisterâs hand, teased, âDo you think I wouldnât know your little crush as your sister?â
âSister, I⦠I really donât haveâ¦â
Lois Snow looked down guiltily.
Lois Abbott laughed, âDonât worry, itâs normal to like a man as outstanding as Greg Jensen. Your sister wonât mind.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âReally?â
Lois Snow lifted her head in surprise, only to see her sister looking back at her with a teasing expression, her cheeks instantly blushing red.
âRest assured, sisterâs telling the truth.â
Worried her sister wouldnât believe her, Lois Abbott hurriedly said, âThe main thing is Greg Jensenâ¦â
âWhat about brother-in-law?â Lois Snow asked, perplexed.
âAlt, youâll find out later.â
With cheeks flushed like the rosy sun, Lois Abbott brushed off the question and pulled her sister back to the private room.
â Why did you take so long?â Greg Jensen wondered.
Lois Snow flashed a hint of panic across her face, mumbling, âItâs⦠itâs nothing.â
Lois Abbott was much calmer, blinked her eyes, and laughed, âItâs a womanâs matter, why ask so many questions?â
Greg Jensen, seemingly reminded of something, blushed and awkwardly smiled.
Augustus Wolfe, robust, quickly raised his glass and laughed, âHere, let me toast Mr. Jensen first.â
âYouâre too kind, Mr. Wolfeâ¦â
Greg Jensen knew what Augustus Wolfe was thinking but he didnât mind; in the future, if Augustus Wolfe needed help, lending a hand would be easy enough.
Hence, not only did he not put on any airs of arrogance, he behaved casually and affably, as if with an old friend.
This demeanor, observed by Augustus Wolfe, couldnât help but make him muse that this was truly the bearing of a hermit from beyond the world,
