Chapter 1324 - 1319: Director Croft, Are You Looking for Me?
All afternoon, Nicholas Croft contemplated the issue until he finally made a decision before leaving work.His Lara had already experienced too many ups and downs. Although Henry Hargrave hadn’t fulfilled his duties as a father, in Sophie Foster’s heart, he was always like a father.
Not wanting her to fall into fear again, Nicholas Croft decided to keep this secret under wraps.
It didn’t matter who Sophie Foster’s biological parents were; what mattered was that she was the person Nicholas Croft wanted to love for a lifetime.
The fatherly love she lacked, he could provide, and he would give his romantic love, unreservedly.
Perhaps that accidental kiss in the nightclub sealed their fate to be together. He had met all kinds of women, but his heart was moved by her alone.
After experiencing that "heart-stopping" incident with Hannah Hargrave yesterday, Sophie Foster began giving him the cold shoulder, locking herself in her room and not allowing him in at night.
With no other choice, Nicholas Croft had to move to the guest room.
He knew that Hannah Hargrave was a barrier she couldn’t overcome in her heart; as long as Hannah wasn’t punished by the law, she couldn’t let go of her hatred, so he needed to act quickly, starting with the people "closest" to her.
With Hannah Hargrave in the hospital, her assistant Harry Zachary was always by her side, taking care of her with dedication. It wasn’t just because of his special relationship with Hannah but also because Josephine Hawthorne had given him generous "compensation" to look after her daughter.
When Harry Zachary returned with lunch, he received a call from an unfamiliar number. He glanced at the caller ID and answered without hesitation.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Assistant Zachary, I’m Ezra Thornton, Director Croft’s assistant from Infi Group." Thornton introduced himself unhurriedly. Upon hearing "Director Croft," Harry Zachary instinctively paused.
Holding a plastic bag with lunch boxes in one hand, his grip on the phone tightened unconsciously, and he instinctively turned to walk to the end of the hospital corridor, suppressing the panic in his heart as he smiled and asked.
"Assistant Thornton, is there something you need from me?"
"Assistant Zachary, since I called you, I think you should guess what it’s about."
"Assistant Thornton, you must be kidding; how would I know?" Harry Zachary laughed it off, but in his heart, everything was clear.
"Assistant Zachary, I won’t waste words. Meet our president at Seven Nights Café in twenty minutes. If you don’t, you’ll bear the consequences!"
With that, Thornton hung up the phone.
Harry Zachary’s fingers unconsciously curled tightly around the phone as his eyes narrowed, seemingly calculating something. As he stood at the end of the corridor facing the door, a nurse pushed the door open and entered, startling him. "My god, you scared me!"
Harry Zachary snapped back to reality. After taking care of Hannah Hargrave for a few days, he had become familiar with the nurses on this floor and smiled apologetically, then asked her to help deliver lunch to Hannah before quickly heading into the elevator to make his appointment.
The meeting place Nicholas Croft had chosen wasn’t far from Hannah Hargrave’s hospital, just a ten-minute drive.
After parking his car, Harry Zachary hurried into the café.
"Hello, are you looking for someone?" a server politely asked. Harry Zachary nodded, instinctively scanning inside, "Yes."
"Please follow me."
Harry Zachary followed the server to where Nicholas Croft was seated, watching the man leisurely sipping coffee. Suppressing the anxiety in his heart, he politely asked,
"Director Croft, you wanted to see me?"
