“What do you mean?”
Wanda was a bit lost at what Lethan meant.
Lethan was about to exin when the conference room door suddenly swung open. Out stepped his old
high school friend, Yvonne Holder<b>.</b>
She quickly apologized, “Sorry to keep you waiting!”
Lethan smiled and said, “No problem. Let me exin. This is my niece. She urgently needs a personal
capital verification report, and I need one, too.”
Earlier at the Secretary of State’s office, he had registered a limited liabilitypany called Holly
Fisheries.
Yvonne nodded and gestured. “Please, follow me to my office.”
Lethan and Yvonne went to her office to talk.
Meanwhile, Wanda was sitting nearby, texting Carlisle on her phone.This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.
Wanda: “Carlisle, why did you take the day off today<b>?</b>”
Carlisle: “Oh, I’m actually busy registering apany.”
Carlisle was having lunch with a few suppliers when he received Wanda’s message on MSN Messenger
and replied immediately.
Wanda: “Wow, what a coincidence! I’m going through the same process. How’s it going for you?”
Carlisle: “All good on my end. I’m just waiting to get the business license.”
confusion with a
Wanda expressed her puzzled emoji.
Wanda: “How did you manage to get it done so quickly? Doesn’t obtaining the capital verification report
take time?”
Lethan had previously mentioned that acquiring the capital verification report was quite cumbersome and typically required several days unless one had connections.
Carlisle replied with a toothy grin emoji.
Carlisle: “I have some connections at the bank.”
Wanda let out a frustrated sigh/
Wanda: “Ugh, I should’ve tagged along to the bank with you!”
Carlisle: “With your family’s connections, getting the capital verification report should be quick, right?<b>”</b>
<b>Wanda</b><b>: </b>“Yeah, but the ounting department is tied up in a meeting, <b>so </b>it’s taking a bit longer.
Wanda: “So… what are you doing this afternoon?<b>”</b>
Carlisle’s heart raced when he saw her message.
Carlisle: “I’m pretty free this afternoon.”
Wanda: “Oh.”
Carlisle: “What’s with <b>the </b><b>‘</b>oh‘?”
Wanda silently called him a big dummy and typed back, “Guess.”
Carlisle chuckled softly and replied, “How about we go for a walk this afternoon?”
Wanda had been hoping he’d suggest something like that and eagerly responded.
Wanda: “Yes, yes, yes! That sounds perfect!”
Lethan and Wanda finally got their hands on the capital verification reports at 2:00 pm.
They headed over to the Secretary of State’s office to wrap up the paperwork.
Wanda immediately messaged Carlisle.
Carlisle quickly replied, “I’m across the street from the Secretary of State’s office, about two blocks down at the convenience store. I’lle meet you.”
Stepping out of the Secretary of State’s office, Wanda blushed as she asked Lethan, “Uncle Lethan, do you really think you can handle things with Aunt Shania?”
Lethan reassured her confidently, “Don’t worry. Shania and I are on good terms.”
Reflecting on it, he realized he owed Carlisle gratitude. Without Carlisle’s Riverwatch Hotel, his
rtionship with Shania would still be strained.
“Well… I’m gonna go find Carlisle then…”
With that, Wanda hurried off in the direction Carlisle had mentioned.
Carlisle and Francis sat outside a nearby convenience store, sipping drinks and snacking. As soon as Carlisle sent Wanda the message, he got up to meet her while Francis went to get the car.
A little whileter, Carlisle and Wanda met in front of a shop called “Blossom Bridal“. Besides wedding dresses, the shop also offered photography and printing <b>services</b>.
Wanda was wearing a white silk dress that hugged her waist and flowed down to her calves. Her hair was styled in twin braids cascading over her shoulders.
Blushing<b>, </b>she looked down and softly asked, “So, where are we headed?”
Carlisle took a step closer and wordlessly pulled her into a hug.
Wanda’s eyes widened in surprise.
