Chapter 723 He's From Neve Too
"How is this happening?” Deirdre inhaled sharply. She agreed that it seemed intentional indeed. "Are they doing this
to dismiss your company because they are not planning on working with your company anymore, but they refuse to
reject the company?"
"No. The collaboration is supposed to be a win-win situation for both companies." Tobey was amused. "Moreover,
we did it because of them... So, I would assume that it was Kyran who commissioned someone to distract me if I
didn't know that you and Kyran had just gotten acquainted at the time."
Deirdre smiled and regarded it as a joke. After all, it sounded absurd.
They chatted for a while more until Tobey's phone rang. He picked up the call and said, ‘You’re here too? Please
hold on."
He asked Deirdre, "I have a university friend who's nearby and wants to pass something to me. Will it be okay for
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmy friend to drop by for a while?"
Deirdre nodded. "Of course."
Tobey announced the exact address to his friend and said after hanging up the call, "Speaking of which, my friend is
from Neve too."
Deirdre was surprised. "What brings him here then?"
"He is on a business trip. He is doing quite well in his career because he's working for a government-owned
corporation and is highly appreciated for his capability. He might even get a promotion after this business trip."
Deirdre smiled. There were too many unpleasant memories in Neve for her, so she did not inquire further.
Kyran's call came coincidentally.
"Is your hangout session over?"
Deirdre said softly, "Not yet."
"Are you going to have lunch together?" Kyran sounded displeased. "I'm almost done with work today, and I would
like to have the food you cook. Shall I pick you up so we can go home together? Hmm?"
He spoke in a rather coquettish tone.
Deirdre could not resist his charm and felt tenderhearted. She said softly," Hold on, let me ask."
"It’s all set. Send me your location, alright? I shall pick you up first. As for Tobey, if he is willing, he can join the
lunch."
The sound of Kyran shutting the car door was heard. Deirdre told him her location before she looked toward Tobey
in embarrassment.
Tobey smiled and said, "I overheard the conversation. I have something to attend to in the afternoon. You should go
home with Kyran. I would be concerned about your safety if you were to go back alone. It's good that he's coming
for you."
Deirdre felt relieved. Tobey was considerate enough so she did not feel embarrassed.
Afterward, Tobey's friend dropped by, and it sounded like a bubbly man. The man’s gaze landed on Deirdre, and he

"Look at you. Have you finally been enlightened? You had so many women trying to date you in university, yet you
refused to go on dates with anyone.
I used to think that there was something wrong with you. So, it turns out that you keep your beautiful wife hidden,
huh?"
Tobey explained by saying, 'You've misunderstood. This is my dear friend who is like a sister to me."
"Good friend?" The man's eyes lit up.
Tobey understood his friend's intention, so he was determined to set his friend’s mind straight. "She has a
boyfriend, and her boyfriend is very goodlooking."
The man heaved a sigh. "Alright then. You’re so good-looking, yet you’re still single. What do I have to be afraid of
then?"
Tobey was amused. "You're really fond of comparing yourself to others."
The man shoved him and said, "Are you going to introduce us or not?"
Tobey said, "Deirdre, this is my friend from university, Jamie Lynch. This is my good friend, Deirdre."
Jamie extended his hand. "Hello, hello, Deirdre."
Tobey slapped away Jamie's hand. "She can't see, so don’t even think about using the trick."
