Chapter62
Mariela’s eyes widened in surprise. She had assumed the top–notch restorer Lennon mentioned would be an elderly person, but instead, she was greeted by a breathtakingly beautiful woman.
Mariela stood up and gave her hand a friendly shake, her face lighting up with enthusiasm.“Ms. McAfee, I’m Mariela. Thank you for agreeing to restore my porcelain doll.”
Kasey laughed, her face smiling. McAfee? Like the software?
Mariela fel embarrassed.
She had mistaken the restorer’s name.
She

McAfee.
“Sorry, I misspoke,” Mariela said quickly.
“It’s okay,” Kasey said with a smile, glancing at Lennon.“Lennon, you’ve always been kind of a lone wolf, keeping to yourself and picky. I was

“Ms. McCaffery, have a seat,” Mariela said, gesturing to a chair.
Kasey took a seat, and Mariela handed her a cup of coffee.
“Enjoy.”
Kasey’s eyes crinkled in a smile as she took a sip,“Mmm, this is good.”
“Marie, you don’t need to be formal. I paid her well. You’re the client, be assertive.”
Mariela smiled and nodded, sitting beside Lennon,
Lennon, you’re no fun,” Kasey said, pouting.
She asked Mariela, “Did you bring the porcelain doll today?”
“No. Ms. McCafferty, can you come to my house after dinner? I’ll get it for you.”
Kasey agreed, “Sure.”
After dinner, Kasey went with Mariela to the Logan’s villa.
Mariela gave Kasey the wrapped ceramic pieces. Ms. McCafferty, can this be fixed?”
Kasey opened the package.
She frowned “It’s badly broken.”
Mariela felt nervous.
“Don’t worry, Marie. Il fix it,” Kasey reassured her, patting her shoulder.
Mariela felt relieved. “Thank you.”
“No problem.”
Kasey was excited.
Lennon paid her 150 thousand dollars for this small job.
It was a very profitable deal.
“Marie, do you have photos of the original?”
“Yes, I’ll send them to you.”
“Good, I’ll ask for details later. I’m leaving now.”
Mariela said, Ms. McCafferty, I will arrange for the driver to escort you back.”
“Okay.”
The doll repair was arranged.
Mariela thought she needed to deal with Juliette and Jaime.
She called Wesley.
