Sharon Sheridan broke into a smile for a mont. This was the answer she wanted, an incredibly satisfying answer.
"Good."
"Very good."
"Grandma’s at ease now."
...
Ava had no idea Sharon Sheridan had gone to Poe Vaughn, didn’t know that Poe’s lunch was personally delivered by Sharon, and even less about their conversation.
After hanging up the phone, she told the driver to speed up. She was hungry and needed to eat.
Nonetheless, The Concord Plaza wasn’t far, just about a ten-minute drive away.
Soon, the car stopped at The Concord Plaza, and Ava imdiately spotted the housekeeper waiting at the entrance.
Concerned Ava might not find her, the housekeeper had specially gotten out of the car to stand in a noticeable spot, and Ava spotted her from afar.
After paying, Ava quickly headed over with a smile on her face, "Housekeeper."
The housekeeper saw Ava too; after all, she’d been watching the comings and goings of cars the whole ti, and she saw Ava the mont she got out of the car.
Rushing over, the housekeeper smiled and said, "Madam, here’s your lunch."
Ava took it and then looked around, "Where’s the car?"
The housekeeper was slightly stunned and asked, "The car that brought ?"
"Yes, I’ll eat in the car."
"Oh, okay, it’s over here."
The housekeeper hurriedly led Ava to the parking lot where the car was parked.
Ava went over and quickly got into the car.
The air conditioning inside was on, and a refreshing breeze imdiately enveloped her, making Ava sigh comfortably, "So nice."
The housekeeper said, "Madam, let do it."
Although she didn’t know why Ava wanted to eat in the car and not at the company, Ava’s word was final.
So the housekeeper took over the thermal food container and brought out the dishes.
However, because there were many dishes and not enough space on the seat, the housekeeper held them for Ava to eat.
Ava, without hesitation, picked up chopsticks and rice, helping herself to the dishes, eating with great relish.
The housekeeper watched, her face full of smiles.
Seeing soone enjoy their al is quite satisfying.
The housekeeper chuckled, "These dishes were made under the instructions of the old lady, especially for Madam to nourish yourself. Madam has been working hard lately."
Ava shook her head, "It’s not hard, it’s not hard; you are the ones working hard, making so many delicious dishes."
"Thank you, housekeeper."
Ava never hides her feelings—whether she likes or dislikes sothing, she says it imdiately.
The housekeeper’s smile grew bigger, "No need to thank ; as long as Madam enjoys it, that’s good."
"I do enjoy it, I absolutely do!"
After all, soone made all this food for her, how could she not like it?
"By the way, who took the food to Poe Vaughn? Was it the other housekeeper?"
Eating, Ava thought of Poe Vaughn and asked directly.
The housekeeper said, "I think so. The old lady instructed to deliver to Madam first; Sir’s side doesn’t need to be taken care of."
"Oh, I see."
While eating, Ava chatted with the housekeeper. Soon, the amount of food visibly decreased and eventually emptied.
It could be said that almost all of it ended up in Ava’s stomach.
However, the dishes, although varied, were not large in portion, enough for just one person—Ava wouldn’t be left with leftovers, nor would she not be full.
After eating, Ava felt completely content.
Utterly relaxed.
The housekeeper, still smiling, packed up the lunch boxes, very satisfied.
Now that Madam has finished eating, knowing this would definitely make the old lady very happy.
Seeing the housekeeper had tidied everything up, Ava said, "Housekeeper, you don’t have to co to my company in the future. If you’ll deliver food, just bring it here, and I’ll co over."
The housekeeper paused, looking at Ava, quite confused, "Madam, is it inconvenient?"
Ava imdiately said, "Sure enough."
"You know, I’m sowhat of a public figure, not as famous as those in the entertainnt circle, but there are always so bored journalists or people waiting for ."
"I don’t have a great reputation in this circle. If sothing were to co out affecting Poe Vaughn, that wouldn’t be good."
"So, you understand?"
Ava’s expression was very serious and solemn, as if it truly were as she said.
The housekeeper understood, nodding earnestly, "Don’t worry, Madam. From now on, I’ll co directly here and call you in advance."
Ava smiled, "Good."
Patting the housekeeper’s shoulder, Ava took out her phone to check the ti, then said, "I’ll head back to the company now; you all head ho."
"Okay, Madam."
Ava took her bag and got out of the car. But just as she was opening the door, she rembered sothing, turned back to the housekeeper, and said, "Oh, housekeeper, I have a question for you."
The housekeeper put the thermal container in a bag, placing used tissues in another bag to throw away later,
Upon hearing Ava’s words, the housekeeper looked up, "Madam, go ahead."
Ava looked at the driver in front; he had been in the car the whole ti, never leaving.
Seeing Ava eye the driver, the housekeeper understood Ava’s implication and said, "Mr. Zhang, please step out; Madam and I have sothing to discuss."
"Alright."
The driver got out of the car, and Ava imdiately said, "Did Grandma ntion anything about coming back to The Vaughn Residence today?"
The housekeeper was a bit surprised, not expecting this question.
But quickly, her eyes shifted slightly, and she shook her head, "No."
"The old lady didn’t ntion anything."
"And did Grandma say when she might go back?"
The housekeeper shook her head again, "Also no."
Ava furrowed her brow, folding an arm across her chest and rubbing her chin in thought, "Could it be Grandma really plans to stay at ho for a while?"
She spoke to herself, her face full of confusion.
The housekeeper saw Ava like this and, after so thought, asked, "Is Madam worried about sothing?"
Ava’s expression suddenly beca serious, "Of course, I’m worried. Aren’t I afraid Grandma will find out that Poe Vaughn and I have been sleeping in separate rooms?"
"You don’t know how long I coaxed Grandma this morning. Thankfully, you told her it was for a few days. If it were longer, we’d be in trouble."
The housekeeper understood and said, "Actually, the old lady is concerned about Madam and Sir’s relationship. Madam doesn’t know how much the old lady values Sir, how worried she is about him."
"In the past, when Sir wasn’t married and didn’t have a girlfriend, the old lady was very anxious, afraid that Sir might be..."
The housekeeper’s voice suddenly stopped.
It wasn’t appropriate to continue.
And Ava hadn’t noticed the housekeeper’s pause, but rather focused on the part about not having a girlfriend.
Frowning, she questioned, "No girlfriend?"
"Poe Vaughn doesn’t have a girlfriend?"
Ava thought, that’s impossible. How could Poe Vaughn not have a girlfriend?
He’s handso, has a good family background—practically a diamond-level man.
How could such a man not have a girlfriend?
Perhaps he just hasn’t brought one ho?
No, that’s not right.
A split-second image of the wardrobe in Poe Vaughn’s room at the old residence flashed through her mind, filled with won’s clothes.
If he hadn’t brought anyone ho, where did those clothes co from?
Ava was perplexed.
The housekeeper, hearing Ava’s words, was montarily stunned, then said, "No, Sir hasn’t told Madam?"
"Sir never had a girlfriend, never."
"What?"
"Never?!"
Ava’s mouth hung open, her eyes wide with shock.
