Chapter 169 ns and Traps
“You’re just leaving like that?”
Dawn looked down at herself and stayed puzzled.
“Well, what else?”

Ethan sighed, then tapped his cheek with one finger. “Hm?”
“Oh.” Dawn swallowed augh. She leaned in and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. After she got out of the car, she tilted her head and waved at Ethan in the driver’s seat. “You don’t have to pick me up tonight. I’ll get home on my own. Drive safe.”
She only turned into the building after watching his car drive away.
She had walked only a few steps when someone in the lobby made her stop in surprise. “Mr. Kelsinger, what brings you here?”
Andy lifted his sses and stood politely. “Your team lead invited me. I have two pieces of rare agate. They’re rarely seen on the market. She said you might want them.”
Dawn had been collecting rare gems and materials for a while. If something was truly one–of- a–kind, it always cost a lot.
“That would be great. Give us a price. If it’s fair, we’ll buy them.”
“I don’t need money.”
Andy’s eyes glinted. “But I do want you to promise me one favor.”
Dawn tightened her brow without meaning to. She didn’t think she and Andy were close enough for him to ask a favor like that. If there was a debt or obligation, it should be to thepany, not to her personally. <fnae93> Latest content published on Find~Novel</fnae93>
Andy noticed her hesitation but stayed calm and friendly. “Maybe hear me out first. Then decide.
“In a few days, a child of a rtive ising back to the country. My work keeps me here. Could
you pick them up and look after them for a few days?”
Dawn blurted, “That’s it?”
“What did you expect?” Andy chuckled. “Sorry. You know my job. I don’t have many friends <b>I </b>
can trust.”
“<b>If </b>I remember right, we only met twice before today.”
They might as well be strangers.
<i>He </i><i>doesn’t </i>trust <i>friends</i><i>, </i><i>but </i><i>he </i><i>trusts </i><i>me</i><i>? </i><i>That </i><i>seemed </i><i>odd</i><i>. </i><i>Either </i><i>he </i><i>wanted </i><i>something</i>, or <i>he </i><i>had </i><i>another </i><i>n</i><i>. </i>
Dawn didn’t believe in instant trust.
Andy smiled and looked down. The sun shed off his sses and hid his expression. “That may be true, but you wouldn’t actually do anything bad to me, right?”
Dawn felt almost convinced. Then she saw the fact clearly.
Whatever Andy’s true goal was, he would try to pull her into it.
He likely had ns and traps ready.
So she decided to y along and turn his game back on him.
She kept her face calm and smiled a little. “Since you put it that way, I can’t exactly refuse. Looks like thepany gets to take advantage of you again.”
They talked as they went upstairs.
After Andy and Janice met, Andy took out the two agates.
The color was rare. The quality was very good.
He had been right. These were the kinds people couldn’t buy even if they had the money.
The rarer something was, the heavier it felt in Dawn’s chest. She still didn’t know Andy’s final aim.
Andy seemed easy to get along with and polite. But that very ease made her uneasy.
After Andy left, Dawn mentioned it to Janice. Janice thought for a moment. “Now that you say it, it does feel odd. We asked him at first, but then he steered the whole thing.” She tugged at her mouth. “Dawn, did I make a mistake?”
Dawn had not nned to call him. Janice had pushed her to make that call.
“I don’t me you.” Dawn thought a moment and then gave a small, absent smile. She <b>reassured </b>Janice, “If he’s really aiming for me, he’lle after me himself. Sooner orter.”
Better to pretend to cooperate and see what he wants than to be surprisedter.
That night, Dawn told Ethan about the whole thing. Ethan was quiet for a moment, then, half- joking, half–serious, said, “Should I drag him here, put him through some tough questioning, and ask what his n is<b>?</b><b>” </b>
Dawn looked at him and almostughed. She could picture him doing it. “That’s illegal. And he hasn’t done anything yet.”
