Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 147

Jonathan said, "Henson's exams are coming up. Can you come over every night and tutor him? I'll pay you double."

Estelle looked down and scratched the wooden fence, "No need. Henson's been doing pretty well with the review. I'll just go over on the weekend and make sure he's good to go for the exams. Also, I've got things to do these two days, and I can't make it."

Jonathan's voice deepened, "Thought you were on break? What's keeping you busy?"

Estelle bit her lower lip nervously and explained, "I've agreed to do a wall-painting project with a classmate. It will occupy my time for a few days."

Jonathan remained silent on the other end of the line. After a brief pause, he responded softly, "Alright, I understand." Then he abruptly ended the call.

Estelle put down her phone, resting her arms on the railing, looking at the dazzling night lights of J City. She sighed, trying to release her frustration.

The wall painting project went smoothly for the first two days, and by the afternoon of the third day, it was nearing completion.

Chris was on a ladder finishing up the painting, while Estelle accidentally smeared paint on her face while tidying up. She told Chris about it and headed to the restroom to wash her face.

The restroom was occupied, so she waited a bit. By the time she returned, a crowd was in front of the cultural wall they had just painted. The stuff they had laid on the ground was tossed aside, the ladder was knocked over, and Chris was negotiating with the staff.

Estelle approached Chris and inquired, "What's happening?"

Chris appeared annoyed as he replied, "Some influencer from the Barry Group wants to take photos in front of our wall."

Another staff member chimed in, saying, "It's just a quick photoshoot. It won't take much time. Please be patient for a little while."

Chris said, "Can you ask them to hurry up? Our paint isn't dry yet, don't let them touch it, or we'll have to redo it!"

The staff member kept nodding and went to negotiate with the influencer's team.

Estelle and Chris waited on the side, and after a while, the group still didn't leave. Chris approached one of them, and the staff member informed him that the influencer wanted to shoot a video, which would only take a few more minutes.

Chris argued back, "What's wrong with being a painter? We're working for this company as well. We're all doing our jobs. Why should there be a hierarchy?"

Annetta, impatient, said, "Fine, whatever. You want money, right? Give him money. One or two thousand. My time here is worth much more anyway. You people are just beggars. So, take out your phones, and let's transfer the money!"

Chris tried to reason with Annetta, but to no avail.

It was evident that Chris, being well-mannered, was reluctant to engage physically with a woman, despite enduring insults and hostility from Annetta's team. The employees from the Barry Group remained passive, not daring to intervene.

Estelle stepped forward, firmly grasping Chris's arm and urging him to step back. Her voice remained composed as she said, "Leave it to me, I'll take care of this."

True to her words, Estelle swiftly followed through with her actions. With a swift kick, she propelled Annetta, the influencer, across the room, effectively dealing with the situation.

The world turned silent!
