The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Nanako knew that her father had always wished for a development in her relationship with Charlie, so she was not surprised at all when her father teased her. She did not feel very shy either. Instead, she puffed and complained, "Otou- san, I will book a hotel room for you now if you want to stay in a hotel. You can even stay in the hotel until we return to Japan! If that's not enough for you, I can buy a hotel for you to stay in, Otou-san."

Yahiko chuckled and said, "Nanako, I was just kidding, please don't mind me..."

With that said, he quickly added, "Oh, I'm about to start playing golf, so you should entertain Mr. Wade first. We won't go back and disturb you for the time being!"

Nanako did not say much when she saw that her father had already stopped teasing her. After saying goodbye to her father, she hurried out and prepared to meet Charlie in the basement.

She pressed the down button in the elevator, and the elevator door quickly opened after coming down from the top floor.

Nanako discovered that a very beautiful intellectual-looking beauty was already standing inside the elevator when the elevator door opened. This beauty was tall, had long hair, and was dressed professionally. She looked very elegant.

When the intellectual beauty in the elevator saw Nanako, her eyes widened in surprise, and she started to panic a little.

The intellectual beauty in the elevator was Marianne, who had just returned to Aurous Hill from Hong Kong today.

As she had signed an employment contract to become a faculty member at Aurous University, she needed to report to the university in advance before classes officially began. It was the first day for her to report to the university officially today.

According to the university's arrangements, she had to go to the university today to complete the registration procedures and then participate in various meetings before the start of school every day, including management meetings, mobilization meetings, and teaching academic seminars.

These preparations before the start of school were very complicated, but fortunately, Marianne still had two weeks to prepare after the freshmen started school because freshmen still needed to undergo two weeks of orientation according to the regulations.

Marianne was preparing to go to the basement to drive to the university, but she did not expect the elevator to stop at the floor below hers as soon as she entered the elevator. What she also did not expect was that the woman standing outside the elevator door was the beautiful woman she had seen walking with Charlie when Madam Marilyn sent her here that day.

Marianne had been shocked when she saw Nanako from the car the other day, but today, she discovered that this beauty, who had a close relationship with Charlie, actually lived one floor below her!noveldrama

Nanako was quite surprised when she saw Marianne staring at her, so she said very politely out of courtesy, "Hello, are you my neighbor who is living on the top floor?"

Marianne did not expect that Nanako would take the initiative to speak to her, so she panicked and said, "Yes... I... I live on the top floor."

Nanako smiled faintly, reached out her hand, and said, "Nice to meet you. I'm your neighbor who lives below you!"

Marianne forced a smile and nodded in a relaxed manner. When she saw that Nanako did not press any buttons in the elevator, she asked her curiously, "Are you going to the basement too?"

Nanako nodded and said casually, "I'm going to pick a friend up. What about you? Are you planning to go out?"

When Marianne heard that Nanako was going to pick a friend up, her first thought was that the person she was going to pick up was probably Charlie, so she felt a little nervous. She quickly pressed the button for the ground floor and said, "I was planning to go to work, but I almost forgot that there's a problem with my car, so it'd be better for me to take a taxi from the ground floor instead."

Nanako did not think much and simply smiled at her politely. When she saw that Marianne was holding a folder with the words 'Aurous University' on it, she asked curiously, "Do you work at Aurous University?"

Marianne nodded and said, "I'm a lecturer at Aurous University."

Nanako gave her a thumbs up and praised, "You must have a doctorate to be able to teach at Aurous University. That's really amazing!"

Marianne ran her fingers through her hair and said humbly and awkwardly, "A doctorate is nothing special. There are many people with doctorates these days."

As they spoke, the elevator stopped on the ground floor. Marianne quickly walked out of the elevator. Before she left, she calmed herself down and said to Nanako politely, "Well, I'll leave first!"
