Chapter 4246
Both Spencer and Victoria were highly focused on their careers, which perhaps explained why they had never truly been together over the years.
“Brother Spencer, hold on a moment. I’ll call the security captain and ask them to let Evan in. It’s freezing outside.”
Even though Evan was sitting in his heated car, the cold was unyielding. He struggled with low temperatures, yet he had come here for her right after New Year’s and had waited outside for a considerable time. It must have been tough for him.
“Good. Call now. Don’t let him freeze. If he catches a cold, you’ll just end up feeling sorry for him again,” Spencer said with a smile.
Abby stepped aside to call security, instructing them to let Evan in.
She also notified the front desk to have Evan wait in the VIP lounge on the first floor, where he could enjoy some hot water and warm up.
After making the call, Abby returned to her business discussion with Spencer.
Despite Abby declining to go to the movies with Evan, he hadn’t left.
How could he leave while his so-called rival was still inside?
Sitting quietly in his car, Evan kept his gaze fixed on the office building. Occasionally, he pulled his coat tighter around himself. Even with the heater running, he still felt the chill and had to rub his hands together to stay warm.
Wiltspoon’s temperature had dropped sharply over the last few days, experiencing a late spring cold snap.
Every year, after the New Year, a spell of bitter cold would follow.
But Wiltspoon’s weather was notoriously unpredictable. Three days ago, it was hot enough for people to wear short sleeves. Then, after two days of rain, the temperature plummeted, causing everyone to scramble for their heavy coats.
Huyoniville had always been colder, but this time the chill was particularly harsh.
Without adequate heating, it was unbearable.
Just then, a security…
The guard stepped outside.
Evan recognized him as the head of the Du Group’s security team. The man approached Evan’s car and knocked on the window.
Evan rolled it down, and a cold wind rushed in, making him shiver.
Not only was it freezing, but the wind felt sharp, like countless tiny blades stinging his skin.
The security captain pulled his hat down over his exposed ears.
“Mr. York, Vice President Du has asked you to come inside. However, you will need to wait in the VIP lounge on the first floor, as she is still working late and cannot meet with you at the moment.”
Upon hearing this, Evan immediately felt warmer.
He knew Abby wouldn’t let him stay out in the cold.
“Alright, I won’t disturb her work. I’ll wait in the VIP room,” Evan agreed, a smile creeping onto his lips. He then asked, “Can I drive in?”
The security captain figured there was no harm in it—if Vice President Du had already permitted Evan inside, driving in wouldn’t make a difference. He nodded, “Go ahead.”
Most employees had already left, so parking spaces were readily available.
Evan thanked the security captain and handed him a pack of cigarettes.
The security captain hesitated for a moment before accepting them. They were Huazi—premium cigarettes.
As expected of the fourth young master of the York family, even the cigarettes he offered were high-end.
The security captain turned back toward the security room.
Moments later, the company gates opened. After waiting for hours, Evan could finally enter.
He drove through the gate, circled the lot, and found a parking space.
After stepping out, he grabbed the bouquet from the passenger seat. Initially, he left the other gifts behind, planning to give them to Abby only if he could persuade her to get into his car.
However, after walking a few steps, he hesitated, then turned back and took everything with him.
He lacked confidence in his ability to get Abby into his car.
Although she didn’t treat him as coldly as she did others, her polite yet distant demeanor still affected him deeply.
Evan was indifferent to others’ opinions of him.
However, Abby’s opinion? That was what mattered most.
Therefore, he decided it was best to bring everything inside. If he couldn’t persuade her to leave with him, he would simply place all the gifts in her car instead.
