“Villa?” Bradley was confused. “I remember buying a house, not a villa.”
That house had a huge garden.
However, he didn’t visit it very often.
The property manager was baffled. “How could it just be
Bradley was speechless. a house? It’s definitely a villa.”
The man continued, “Mr. Saunders, if it’s convenient for you, could you come over so we can discuss the compensation in person?”
Bradley said, “Give me a sec, let me check my schedule.”
He called his assistant and confirmed that he’d be free after six o’clock that evening.
“Alright, I’ll be there at eight,” Bradley said.
Bradley pulled up to Noble Vista right on time at 8 PM.
The property staff had already been waiting for him.
Soon, Bradley had a brief discussion with them about the compensation.
After that, he headed over to the villa the property staff had pointed out alone.
However, Bradley had never seen this villa before, and he honestly had no memory of ever buying it.
He walked up to the gate.
Just like the man had described, it was already broken.
But the keypad lock was still perfectly intact.
Bradley hesitantly pressed his thumb to the pad. There was a click, and the lock popped open right away.
Bradley was speechless.
He couldn’t believe it; his fingerprint actually unlocked the door.
‘So it really is mine,’ he mused to himself. ‘Guess I’ve got so many properties under my name that I just lost track of this one.”
Bradley walked into the villa.
Because of the burst pipes, water was everywhere, and the floor was a total mess.
Luckily, the property staff had fixed things quickly, so there wasn’t too much damage.
Bradley looked around the place.
When he got to the storage room, he stopped in his tracks.
He spotted a mountain bike inside.
But the bike was meticulously wrapped up, as if it was some kind of treasure.
‘Wait, is that my bike?’ he thought, a bit confused. ‘When did I even buy this?’
Bradley stepped inside and tore off the wrapping.
Then, he took a closer look.
This brand of bike would cost a fortune.
At the front of the bike, Bradley spotted something engraved-his initials, B.S.
“Did someone give this to me?’ he wondered, puzzled.
Who would give him such an expensive bike?
And why couldn’t he remember at all?
Just like with this villa, Bradley had absolutely no recollection of where this mountain bike came from.
“Probably a friend gave it to me back in high school,’ he guessed to himself.
It had been so many years; no wonder his memory had gotten hazy.
Bradley didn’t stick around the villa for too long.
The place hadn’t been lived in for years; there was absolutely no way anyone could stay there now.
It was late, and there was no way he was going to drive two hours back to Steerfall at this hour.
So, he found a five-star hotel and booked a room.
Cameron had left the island that morning.
She knew what Jacqueline meant-she wanted her to get out there, maybe meet someone special.
But Cameron went directly to a hotel and booked a room.
She’d already sold her place at Noble Vista.
The house outside the university was way too far from downtown, so Cameron picked a hotel in the city center instead,
She actually enjoyed the hustle and bustle.
Cameron had holed up in her hotel room all day, even ordering room service for both lunch and dinner.
Then, she figured it was time to head downstairs for a stroll.
Just as she stepped out of the elevator, Cameron spotted Bradley, who had just finished checking in and was making his way toward the elevator area.
The two of them came face to face.
The instant Cameron saw Bradley, she froze on the spot.
Bradley?
‘Am I seeing things?’ she wondered, doubting her own eyes.
But when she took a closer look, she realized it was indeed Bradley.
He was dressed in a sharply tailored suit with a subtle pattern, gold-rimmed glasses perched on his nose. He looked calm and reserved, carrying himself with the quiet confidence of someone who’d made it.
Seven years had gone by.
Now, Bradley seemed so much more composed.
“Excuse me,” Bradley said, his voice calm and polite.
Cameron was standing right in the riddle of the hallway.
Bradley shot her a quick look, then started to walk around her toward the elevator.
Cameron stood still, not moving an inch.
The next second, Bradley suddenly turned around.
He walked back, fixing his gaze on Cameron.
As he passed by her just now, his heart suddenly thudded hard for no reason.
Bradley turned around and looked straight at Cameron.
He didn’t recognize her at all, yet for some reason, she seemed strangely familiar.
“Miss, have we met somewhere before?” Bradley was the first to speak.
Cameron was stunned.
‘What does he mean?’ she wondered, completely baffled. ‘It’s been seven years. What trick is he playing now?”
Bradley quietly stared at the woman in front of him.
She was stunning-tall, with short hair that fell casually to her shoulders.
A long, light brown trench coat accentuated her figure.
