Living With My Lady Boss romance Capítulo 265

The woman was nothing but friendly, chatting merrily from the back. "My name's Eileen Fall. What should I call you two?"

"I'm Wilbur. This is Ryder," Wilbur responded.

Eileen smiled. "It's nice to meet you."

"What brings you here alone?" Wilbur asked.

Eileen sighed. "Don't start. I've been so bored."

"Why did you walk instead of driving up? Are you from out of town?"

"I can't drive."

Wilbur raised his brows. Were there actually people who could not drive in this day and age?

Eileen smiled. "I really can't drive. My hands and legs stop listening to me the second I get in the driver's seat."

"Ah, I see. That's fine," Wilbur replied with a chuckle.

The two of them continued making small talk as the car drove on. Around noon, the driving road stopped near the peak and Wilbur turned off the car's engine. "There's no driving from here. We can only walk now."

Eileen got out of the car. "Thank you so much! I hope to see you again."

Wilbur waved back. "Goodbye."

Eileen smiled, turning and walking along a winding road leading further up the mountain.

Wilbur and Ryder got out of the car as well, watching as she disappeared from their sight.

Ryder gripped his briefcase. "There was spirit energy in her."

"Do you have to scope out every single person you see? I didn't even realize there was spirit energy in her."

"It's suspicious enough for a woman appearing on the way up a mountain on her own," Ryder said.

Wilbur nodded with a smile. "You've got a point, but not every person with spirit energy is our enemy."

"Just being careful."

The top of the hill overlooked the canyon perfectly.

Wilbur nodded. "That's good enough. Go on, and don't come down without my orders."

"Yes, sir."

Ryder turned and ran at top speed, disappearing into the thicket of trees.

Wilbur smirked at the sight of the canyon. "I'm here now. Are you ready?"

He slowly made his way in after that.

The canyon was surrounded by lush mountains, but the canyon itself was devoid of any life.

There was a small lake, but the water in it was black and reeking of decay.

It was only when Wilbur took a closer look that he realized the liquid in the lake was blood, a congealed mass that had been sitting in there for years.
