Return Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks novel Chapter 594

Chapter 594

The car carrying Claire was driving slowly on the road.

She was sitting in the back seat alone. Arthur’s assistant, Mateo, was sitting in the front passenger seat, and the driver was driving, expressionless.

About 30 minutes had passed since they left Chivers Residence, and it was unclear what the destination was. It seemed that the car would not stop at once.

Claire looked out the window. Outside the car, apart from the flat, wide, and endless road, there were uninterrupted warm yellow streetlights.

Some occasional cars whizzed by.

Thinking for a while, Claire turned to Mateo, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, and asked, “Excuse me, sir. Where are we going? How long will it take to get there? It feels like this road never ends.”

After Claire finished speaking, she looked at the deserted surroundings and had some uneasy feeling.

Mateo, who had just sent a message about work, turned to Claire when he heard her voice. “Ms. Garcia, Mr. Jarrett has a special status, so the place for your meeting should be private. Sorry to keep you waiting, but we are almost there. Just about 10 minutes away. Please be patient.”

Mateo spoke politely.

“About 10 minutes? Okay then. I thought… Okay, thank you.”

Mateo nodded to Claire. “You’re welcome, Ms. Garcia. By the way, I’m Mateo Quinn.”

Mateo’s words made Claire feel like he was easy to get along with, not stiff and pretentious like those officials. She felt a little relaxed. “Okay, Mr. Quinn. It seems that you’re about my age.”

Mateo waved his hand. “No, no, no. I started working for Mr. Jarrett when I was 15. It’s only been 16 years. I’m 31 years old.” “What? You’re about the age of my son–in–law? Oh, forgive me. I meant you look more mature and sound than him.” Mateo laughed lightly. “It’s okay, Ms. Garcia. I’m used to it. I look older than my age. Just call me Mateo.”

Hearing this, Claire felt relieved and laughed, “Well, okay. Only if you wish. Mateo, you can call me Claire. I’m used to people calling me that.”

“Okay.”

The conversation made the journey seem shorter, and they arrived in no time.

“Claire, here we are. Please step out of the car. Mr. Jarrett is waiting inside. I’ll take you in.” Mateo turned to Claire in the back seat as the car stopped.

Many robust men in identical black uniforms stood at the gate, carrying weapons of the same specifications.
