Chapter62 Marielaâs eyes widened in surprise. She had assumed the topânotch restorer Lennon mentioned would be an elderly person, but instead, she was greeted by a breathtakingly beautiful woman.
Mariela stood up and gave her hand a friendly shake, her face lighting up with enthusiasm.âMs. McAfee, Iâm Mariela. Thank you for agreeing to restore my porcelain doll.â
Kasey laughed, her face smiling. McAfee? Like the software?
Mariela fel embarrassed.
She had mistaken the restorerâs name.
She couldnât believe she had actually referred to âMs McCafferty the software McAfee.
âSorry, I misspoke,â Mariela said quickly.
âItâs okay,â Kasey said with a smile, glancing at Lennon.âLennon, youâve always been kind of a lone wolf, keeping to yourself and picky. I was Marieâs curious would who actually catch your eye.
Now I get it.
âMs. McCaffery, have a seat,â Mariela said, gesturing to a chair.
Kasey took a seat, and Mariela handed her a cup of coffee.
âEnjoy.â
Kaseyâs eyes crinkled in a smile as she took a sip,âMmm, this is good.â
âMarie, you donât need to be formal. I paid her well. Youâre the client, be assertive.â
Mariela smiled and nodded, sitting beside Lennon, Lennon, youâre no fun,â Kasey said, pouting.
She asked Mariela, âDid you bring the porcelain doll today?â
âNo. Ms. McCafferty, can you come to my house after dinner? Iâll get it for you.â
Kasey agreed, âSure.â
After dinner, Kasey went with Mariela to the Loganâs villa.
Mariela gave Kasey the wrapped ceramic pieces. Ms. McCafferty, can this be fixed?â
Kasey opened the package.
She frowned âItâs badly broken.â
Mariela felt nervous.
âDonât worry, Marie. Il fix it,â Kasey reassured her, patting her shoulder.
Mariela felt relieved. âThank you.â
âNo problem.â
Kasey was excited.
Lennon paid her 150 thousand dollars for this small job.
It was a very profitable deal.
âMarie, do you have photos of the original?â
âYes, Iâll send them to you.â
âGood, Iâll ask for details later. Iâm leaving now.â
Mariela said, Ms. McCafferty, I will arrange for the driver to escort you back.â
âOkay.â
The doll repair was arranged.
Mariela thought she needed to deal with Juliette and Jaime.
She called Wesley.
Even 1 think pretty Cool.â
