Knowing it’s impossible yet still doing it, Aria Rhodes, this girl, is quite persistent and cunning.
She doesn’t know about Ava Sterling’s existence yet. If she finds out, who knows what she’ll do.
At this mont, Vincent Donovan frowned more deeply.
...
In the country.
After Ava sent a ssage to Poe Vaughn, she drove to the company, which was not far from where she lived, just over a ten-minute drive.
Ava drove straight into the company’s underground parking lot, grabbed her phone and bag, and got out of the car.
She glanced at the ti, then grabbed her phone and headed to the elevator.
Just as she took out her phone, it buzzed with a vibration.
Ava raised an eyebrow and picked up her phone to check.
There was exactly one unread ssage, and the sender was Poe Vaughn.
With a curled lip, Ava opened the ssage.
Poe Vaughn: [Tomorrow.]
Tomorrow, isn’t that perfect?
The day after tomorrow is his cousin’s birthday, so he’ll be back tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow they’ll go celebrate his cousin’s birthday together.
Not bad, not bad.
Ava felt relieved now.
She opened the reply box and quickly started typing to send him a ssage, but at that mont, her phone buzzed again with another ssage from him.
Ava was rarely surprised. He actually sent her two ssages.
Her curiosity was piqued.
But just as her curiosity rose, she saw the content of his ssage and was dumbfounded.
Poe Vaughn: [Rember to water the flowers and plants in the backyard.]
Flowers and plants in the backyard? Watering?
What is this about? Why send it to her?
Surely, it’s a mistake.
That was Ava’s first thought, but soon she frowned.
Does he ever send the wrong ssage? Is he the kind of person who sends wrong ssages?
Ava’s expression turned serious.
Perhaps he didn’t make a mistake and was serious.
Ava recalled that man’s multi-million-dollar villa, and indeed, the villa had a yard with various precious plants. At that ti, Mrs. Wei had shown her around, and it was maintained very well, very beautiful, full of vitality.
But why ask her to water them?
It’s not her job; it’s always been Mrs. Wei’s, and she doesn’t know how to handle these!
Since when did she take on such a task?
Ava imdiately thought back to the hundred clauses of their marriage agreent; she rembered clearly that there was no such thing.
Moreover, she didn’t recall him ntioning this separately. What does he an by suddenly bringing this up now?
Ava couldn’t figure it out, so she asked directly and imdiately called him.
She’s not one to wait patiently.
The car drove smoothly through the night, with streetlights passing by rapidly outside, casting bright halos that couldn’t penetrate the darkness inside the car.
The phone buzzed, followed by a ringtone.
Poe Vaughn looked at the flashing incoming call on the screen, its boldness and audacity dancing before him.
His fingertip moved slightly, swiping to answer, and he looked up at the night outside: "Hello."
"Poe Vaughn, what do you an by sending a ssage to water the backyard flowers and plants? When did I start managing your garden plants? You never ntioned it, and it’s not in the hundred clauses of our marriage agreent either!"
"Are you asking to manage your garden plants because you think I’m idle? Or do you think I’ve been lying around so long that it’s just right for to tidy up your garden plants and stretch my muscles?"
Ava was very upset; don’t think she doesn’t have that hundred-clause marriage agreent on hand, she rembers it well!
This requirent isn’t in the agreent at all!
A fiery voice ca through the phone, quite lively, like a flower flaunting itself before him.
Poe Vaughn said, "There’s a reward."
"..."
Ava froze, and in the next mont, her anger instantly dropped from high to low, vanishing without a trace in an instant. Her eyelashes fluttered, her eyes widened, and her face was quickly covered with a smile, as happy as could be: "Really?"
"What’s the reward?"
Without waiting for Poe to answer, she quickly said, "Don’t tell !"
"I love surprises!"
"Just give it to directly when the ti cos; I want to experience the joy of opening a mystery box!"
Her voice ca through imdiately, as joyful as could be.
At this mont, the deep night sky and the lights outside fell into Poe Vaughn’s eyes, spreading a glow: "Water daily, for a month."
"OK, OK!"
"I promise to handle it well for you!"
"Anything else? Any other requests?"
"Water morning and night, no delegating to anyone else."
"No problem! I’ll have Mrs. Wei supervise , and she can report to you in a month!"
"Alright."
Ava expertly hung up the phone, elated beyond asure.
She thought it was sothing serious, but it turned out to be good news; this man really gives her surprises from ti to ti.
Not bad, not bad, she likes these surprises.
Putting down her phone, Ava checked the ti; it was a little after one, almost two in the afternoon. This watering thing was for morning and night, but she had never taken care of such elegant things, and she wasn’t patient enough to handle them, not knowing how.
But no matter, if she doesn’t know, she can learn!
She could ask Mrs. Wei when exactly to water the plants and make sure she tended to that man’s plants properly.
After all, his rewards are quite generous, and in this regard, he’s not the least bit stingy.
Thinking of this, Ava called Mrs. Wei in advance to ask, so she could go back early and not delay watering the plants!
Quickly dialing the number, Ava stepped into the elevator and pressed the 21st floor.
Soon, the call connected, and Mrs. Wei’s voice ca through: "Ma’am."
"Mrs. Wei, I have a question for you; what ti in the evening are the backyard plants watered?"
"Watered?"
Ava’s question was so abrupt that Mrs. Wei was taken aback, not understanding at first.
Upon hearing Mrs. Wei’s tone, Ava knew what Mrs. Wei was thinking, similar to how she felt when she saw Poe Vaughn’s ssage earlier—totally head-scratching. So she imdiately said, "From now on, I will be watering the plants at ho. I haven’t done this before and don’t know how, so can you tell ? I’ll take notes."
Don’t be fooled by his simplicity in words; the process must be complicated; she doesn’t trust him to give her simple tasks.
Businessn are very shrewd.
Mrs. Wei understood, though still a little puzzled about why Ava suddenly needed to tend to the backyard plants.
But although she didn’t quite get it, Mrs. Wei replied, "Watering is usually done in the morning and evening. But in the sumr, it’s hot, and the heat cos early, so watering needs to be done earlier in the morning and later in the evening, or else it’ll burn the roots."
With the twists and turns, just as Ava suspected, there’s no such thing as a free lunch.
Fortunately, she was ntally prepared, so Ava continued to ask, "Then roughly what ti?"
"Around seven in the morning, and nine or ten in the evening, but so plants are different, so it still depends on the species."
Tsk, tsk.
See, as expected, it’s complicated, just like playing chess, full of twists and turns, with all sorts of clever tricks.
Fine!
For the sake of the reward, she can accept it!
Money isn’t easy to earn.
"Got it, I’ll be back earlier tonight."
Just as well, she’s healing now, doesn’t need to shoot, no travel required, so she should be ho in the morning and at night.
However, a month...
Calculating from now, based on the plan, she should be able to work again in half a month.
So what to do with work in the second half of the month?
