Expert Down The Mountain Chapter 52

“Grandpa, I’m calling it a night.” Sadie announced her departure.

“Okay, go on along,” said Hugh.

While Kayson was making his next move on the chessboard, he asked, “Grandpa Hugh, I have something that I would like to ask.”

“Go ahead and ask. I will tell you everything I know,” Hugh replied while making his move.

“Actually, I wanted to ask about how you got acquainted with my mentor. What happened between the two of you? He told me that he owed you a favor. I know my mentor quite well and suffice to say, it’s not something common for him to owe someone a favor,” said Kayson. .

Hugh’s brow twitched before he moved one of his chess pieces and said quietly, “Your mentor … Owes me quite a lot. It’s not something that you can put a price tag on. Kace, why are you suddenly asking about this? Could it be that you are planning to leave when the favor is paid

back?”

Kayson maintained his composure while replying, “No. It’s just that I’m curious about what happened.”.

“Hahaha, what your mentor owes me is not just a simple favor. It won’t be so easy for him to clear up his debt,” said Hugh.

Kayson portrayed a look of helplessness and sighed. “It seems like I will just have to work harder then.”

Hugh replied to Kayson with a wise smile, “Well, there’s no need to work too hard for it. If you and Sadie can give me a great-grandchild, we will consider the favor to be returned!”

Kayson kept quiet. ‘Sadie and I? That’s going to be a tough nut to crack!’

Although Kayson was okay with Sadie, he was clear that Sadie felt repulsed by a poor chap like him, and there was just no chemistry.

“Checkmate!” Hugh won the match and stood up. “I’m tired. Looks like age has finally caught up with me. Let’s call it a night.”

“Okay.” Kayson collected and kept the chess pieces before heading upstairs to Sadie’s room.

As he went in, Sadie glanced in his direction but did not make a commotion. However, she asked Kayson with a cold stare, “When you left work today, did you get into a VW Beetle?”

“Yes-.” Kayson was speaking halfway when Sadie abruptly interrupted him. “It’s alright. I do not need an explanation. We are not in a relationship anyway. However, I just want to remind you to be more cautious in the future. If Grandpa learns about this, I won’t let it go lightly!”

Kayson was stunned for a moment before nodding. “Okay. I will take note.”

Sadie curled up in her blanket with her back facing Kayson.

Kayson proceeded to rest, but he could feel Sadie was still awake and seemed to be frustrated about something.

After hesitating for a moment or two, he told her, “If you are in any trouble or problem, you actually need not worry too much about it. Just give it some time. Perhaps there will be good news the next day.”

Sadie did not reply to him. Kayson smiled and proceeded to lay down and sleep.

The next morning, Kayson and Sadie both departed early to work.

Sadie irritably looked at her documents. For the past one hour, she had yet to finish one page. She had no idea how she could have a meet-up with Jason. Heck, she did not even know where Jason was.

Just as her frustration was peaking, she got a call on her phone. She looked at her phone and realized it was an unknown number but had a Greenspring region code, indicating that the call was from Greenspring. “Hi, this is Sadie speaking.” “Is this Ms. Sadie of Wolfenden Corp.? I am Jason Queen, the director of Triumph Land. Nice to make your acquaintance.” “M-Mr. Queen, hello!” Sadie was totally caught off guard. Jason Queen had contacted her of his own accord!
