On the first floor.
Layla handed Jacob the thermal lunch box she had brought from home: “Mr. Jacob, just bring the lunch box with you when you come tomorrow.”
“Mm, thanks!”
Jacob thanked her while holding the lunch box. At that moment, Vienna, who had made an appointment with him, also came downstairs. Today, she was dressed in a mature style, wearing a woolen plaid coat on top and tight jeans paired with knee-high leather boots. Her chestnut-colored short hair was slightly curled inward, giving off a gentle and dignified vibe.
“Mr. Jacob, let’s go.”
Vienna said softly, her gaze instinctively sweeping over Layla, Josie, and the receptionists Lilian and Monica behind the front desk.
When she walked out of the elevator, she felt that the looks from the several women carried a hint of hostility, or rather, scrutiny.
But she was a regular at the gym and had never experienced such a situation before.
This meant the problem lay with Jacob.
Could it be that these women all had feelings for this delivery guy? That seemed too absurd! A thought flashed through Vienna’s mind, only to be dismissed.
Once outside the gym, Vienna took out her car keys from her coat pocket and pressed a button, causing the lights of the Japanese Dolphin parked in the spot in front of the door to flash.
With the increasing popularity of electric cars, small cars like the Dolphin indeed offer great value for urban commuting provided there’s a charging station at home.
Vienna’s Dolphin has a range of 420 km, which is sufficient for picking up and dropping off her child and grocery shopping.
“Mr. Jacob, get in the car.”
“I’ll return you after I’m done.”
Vienna opened the car door, signaling for Jacob to get in. In her view, this delivery guy should have come on an electric bike, and there was no need to use two modes of transportation to go to her house.
“Mm, okay.”
Jacob was quite familiar with Smartday Holding; parking spots at the entrance of the community were very tight, and if he drove over, there was a high chance he wouldn’t find a place to park. It was better to take Vienna’s ride directly into the garage.
Jacob opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat. For someone who was 182 cm tall and weighed 189 kg, the internal space of the car wasn’t very friendly. He adjusted the seat back a bit, which made it somewhat more comfortable.
Vienna skillfully started the car and drove out of the gym parking lot.
About fifteen minutes later, the little Dolphin entered the garage of Smartday Holding.
Then Jacob followed Vienna upstairs.
“Mr. Jacob, thank you for your hard work.”
This time, Vienna was more considerate and first handed Jacob a bottle of mineral water.
“I’ll go see what the problem is,” Jacob entered the kitchen with ease, as it was his second visit.
He opened the top cabinet to check the backflow valve; there was no issue.
“Vienna, is there still oil smoke coming back?” Jacob called out towards the kitchen door, but he didn’t receive any response.
He was puzzled about where she had gone when Vienna suddenly appeared in his line of sight.
However, Jacob was left dumbfounded! Because Vienna had changed into a different outfit; she was now wearing a milk-white bodycon short skirt. The skirt seemed to be made of wool, which was perfectly appropriate for the season, but the problem was that the skirt had a little trick; the neckline was actually hollowed out, revealing a milk-white expanse that left much to the imagination. “Vienna, what’s this?”
The atmosphere was clearly off, and Jacob forced himself to ask calmly.
Vienna’s cheeks flushed slightly. She gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and said in a delicate voice, “Mr. Jacob, don’t you want to take revenge?”
At this moment, Vienna’s thoughts were somewhat akin to those of a novel from “Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils.” “You are out there flirting every day, so I might as well take advantage of the filthy ‘old beggar.'”
Although Jacob was not as disheveled as he was at that time, in Vienna’s mind, he was merely a delivery guy, someone she subconsciously felt was not of her social class.
In the past two years, although Vienna had become a full-time housewife, she was a top student from Coastville University, making her a senior to Lara from a few years back.
Moreover, Vienna came from a well-off family; her father was a senior engineer at Coastville Shipbuilding Group, and her mother was the chief physician at Coastville Second Hospital.
It was precisely because of her parents’ support that she dared to choose to be a full-time housewife, as even if Rick’s income was unstable, she would not lack money.
