Chapter 174

Chapter174.

Evan’s silence thickened like fog. I bit my tongue hard–since when did exorcism become a sales pitch?

Sherry tilted her head, eyes rolling skyward before resurrecting her pious facade. “Such divine compassion‘ The bodhisattva herself?”

Fiona scrambled for the prayer beads like a beggar snatching gold coins.

Madame Huang earnestly said, “Mrs. Crowe, remember, sincerity is key, “I understand, I understand.”

Fiona nodded repeatedly, putting on the beads. She paid a hefty sum and left, covered in ash and pig blood. She made an appointment to come back in a week; Madame Huang agreed to help again. She was milking this customer dry.

Watching Fiona leave, I mumbled to myself, “Can I still switch careers?”

Evan didn’t know what to say.

Next door, Sherry removed her veil, revealing her intelligent and beautiful face.

“Madame, am I right? You made a killing today.”

Madame Huang opened her eyes; so, the old woman was faking blindness.

“Indeed, you have talent, Ms. Burke. Consider working with me; fifty–fifty split. What do you say?”

“I’m talented at everything, but I prefer righting wrongs and upholding justice.”

“Fine. I love money; you love justice; we’ll each get what we want. I don’t care what you do, I just want money.”

“That’s right.”

While the two top shamans discussed business, Evan quietly pulled me out of the room, returning to the waiting area. We had just sat down when the robe girl arrived, “It’s your turn; please follow me.”

I looked at everyone: Shall we?

Evan smiled calmly.“Lead the way.”

Since he agreed, no one dared to object. Let’s keep up the act.

The four of us followed the robe girl to... We expected the previous room, but she took us somewhere else. The first room was in ruins, after all.

The new room was smaller, elegant, and refined. Madame Huang sat behind a small altar; Sherry wasn’t there.

We sat down.“What do you want to ask?” Madame Huang smiled, benevolent and enigmatic.

I planned to ask something casual and then leave, but before I could speak, a warm, polite, amused voice said, “About romance.”

The three of us was shocked.

We turned to Evan, looking at him with astonishment and horror.

He wanted to ask about romance?

How did he say those words so smoothly and casually!!!

Olivia: Can’t he just ask about the weather?

Gloria: Does he have to be so impatient?!

< Chapter174 Cody: Is my boss so desperate to get married?!

About romance, huh,” Madame Huang calmly took out a piece of paper. “Write your name and birthdate on it.”

Evan looked at me.“Go write it for me.”

How would I know your birthdate? I’m not your mother!

Evan gently nudged me.“Come on, b a dear and fill it out for me.”

Dear my ass!

I went over and scribbled fake constellations under his amused gaze. Madame Huang didn’t even look at it before displaying an understanding expression.

After a series of impressive actions, she hummed.“Mr. Jones, regarding your romance, I have some advice: Your romantic destiny lies before your eyes. Cherish the one who stands closest.”

Cherish the one who stands closest? He has so many people around him. It’s just a shaman’s ploy.

A Scoffing inwardly, I saw Evan looking at me, his gaze deep and intimidating... My scalp tingled. Why was he looking at me?!

“What does that mean? I don’t understand. Do you?” Evan leaned closer, his expression confused, his peach blossom eyes batting, making my heart race.

Our images reflected in each other’s eyes, like deep–rooted red beans.

His lashes could’ve powered wind turbines. My cheeks burned reactor–core red.

Gloria fake–gagged. I’ll get diabetes just watching you two!

Cody yelled, “I know! I know what that...”

As his hand shot up, an Hermès bag fell from the sky, hitting his head. Gloria glared fiercely: Mind your own business, idiot!

Cody was confused.

I stammered, “It probably refers to the people around you. I don’t quite understand; it’s profound.”

I tried to act natural. Madam Huang’s voice slithered through the incense haze.“Mr. Jones, this spiritual artifact could accelerate your romantic pursuits.”

Her palm unveiled a bracelet–carbon copy of the one encircling my wrist.

She must have bought a lot of them from the wholesale market.

Evan smiled happily.“I know this artifact; it’s potent, isn’t it, Olivia?”

He looked at me, and I just wanted to disappear.

“May its magic bless me equally,” Evan looked expectantly at me.“Olivia, can you get it for me?”

I choked on retorts. Damn the secretary handbook.

I gritted my teeth and retrieved it, handing it to him.

A slender, elegant hand reached out.“Put it on for me.”

“Are your aristocratic limbs purely decorative?!” The words escaped before sanity intervened.

< Chapter174 The air froze. Evan held out his hand, a calm expression hiding underlying currents.

Three seconds later, I reacted, quickly putting it on him.“Nice, it suits you perfectly.”

He retracted his hand, examining the bracelet. His tone was skeptical. “Madame, is it really effective?”

Madame Huang, experienced in handling such situations, smiled calmly, “Romance can’t be rushed. Patience allows destiny to unfold naturally..”

Evan agreed.“Makes sense.”

Cody eyed the bracelet covetously.“I want one too!”

Gloria rolled her eyes. Always copying others.

kanni Madam Huang produced a box with two rings in it.“That’s the last bracelet. But I have something different for you and your girlfriend–enhances romantic bliss.”

“Girlfriend?” Garlic glanced around blankly.

Gloria waved her hand.“No need, Madame. I broke up with him; he’s an idiot. His intellect would dilute any offspring’s IQ.”

Cody was shocked. Is she talking about me?

I looked at Cody with a sigh. Who else could it be?

Twenty minutes later, we emerged. Sherry waited at the elevator entrance, chuckling.“Guys, you really asked the shaman? You could’ve asked me; I’m better than her.”

Spotting Evan’s bracelet, she asked, “Why’d you buy that? Ohhhh...” Her grin turned Cheshire–cat wide.“Planning to match with someone?”
