She had to show so concern for him.
As his nominal wife, especially since his grandmother treated her so well, and he was generous to her, although sotis moody, upon reflection, apart from this, Poe Vaughn was good to her in every other way.
Under such circumstances, it would be unreasonable for her not to care about him.
People are mutual.
When soone is so good to you, you have to think for others; you can’t be so selfish, you should repay instead of enjoying it as a matter of course.
So, this call had to be made.
Ava Sterling didn’t think there was a problem.
At this mont, a black Bentley steadily stopped outside Celeste’s company entrance.
Poe Vaughn opened his eyes, looked at the scenery outside the window, then picked up the phone, and opened the contacts list. As soon as his fingertip landed on the first contact, he was about to dial.
But just then, an incoming call stopped his action.
His eyes froze, looking at the incoming call, where three characters were clearly flashing on the screen.
Ava Sterling.
Poe Vaughn’s eyes were fixated.
He was just about to call no one else but Ava Sterling.
Seeing the na flashing in front of his eyes, just like that bright person seed to be flitting in front of him, his eyes flickered, his fingertip swiped to answer, "Hello."
He looked towards the outside, at the wide glass doors of the company.
It was noon now, lunch ti, and many people in the company ca out to have lunch.
In groups of three or four, clustered together, it was very lively.
However, after the Bentley stopped in front of the company, the employees who ca out looked over curiously.
Celeste was a modeling company, mostly female, and naturally, in this industry, they were knowledgeable about various brands, especially international luxury brands.
So when they saw Poe Vaughn’s car, they recognized it as a Bentley at first sight.
Moreover, it was of a very expensive model.
As the largest modeling company in the country, the various luxury cars visiting Celeste were countless.
Judging by the car alone, one could guess approximately what level and status the visitor held.
For the employees, they had seen these cars a lot, so even the best car would not surprise them anymore.
But Poe Vaughn’s car was not sothing an ordinary person could have, nor could an ordinary person recognize it.
Having seen countless luxury cars, the employees had already morized the logos, and now upon seeing this car, recognizing the shining emblem, they knew a big shot had arrived.
As for who this big shot was, they had no idea.
So, they looked at this car, walking slower with growing curiosity, wondering who this car belonged to.
So even stopped after walking a distance to gossip a bit.
The usually extrely lively noon at Celeste’s entrance was now uncommonly quiet, with whispers of small talk and eyes filled with novelty and gossip excitent.
Ava Sterling didn’t know Poe Vaughn had co to Celeste; as she listened to the beeping sound in the phone, rare as it was, her mind wasn’t full of study and acting. She was thinking about how to talk to Poe Vaughn, how to comfort him.
Poe Vaughn was different from ordinary people; he couldn’t be directly told, I’m worried about you whatever.
It had to be said tactfully.
However, Ava Sterling wasn’t a tactful person; she couldn’t speak in such a roundabout way; she preferred to say whatever directly.
However, this matter was different, it couldn’t be direct.
She had to temper her temper, had to slow down to speak.
This made it hard for her.
And she frowned, thinking hard, without any idea what to say, then the call connected, and a magnetic voice ca through.
Ava Sterling instinctively tightened her heart, just hearing that voice made her nervous imdiately.
She imdiately sat up straight, spoke: "I..."
As soon as she spoke, she stamred.
Didn’t know what to say, her brain like it crashed.
Poe Vaughn held the phone, listening to the voice coming from it, while his eyes were on the wide-open glass door outside, his eyes imnsely deep.
When the obvious hesitant stuttering voice ca through the phone, his eyes flickered a little, withdrawing his gaze.
"What’s wrong?"
Rare as it was, Ava Sterling also stamred.
Moreover, obviously not right.
Her voice, he could tell her emotions as soon as he heard it, without any concealnt.
Hearing this deep magnetic voice, Ava Sterling directly patted her forehead, leaning back on the sofa, simply gave up thinking.
She couldn’t do what she couldn’t do.
Not wronging herself, not making things difficult for herself, this was her constant life principle.
Then simply said: "It’s nothing, I just missed you. What are you doing, are you busy, have you eaten?"
She just cared about him as a wife, caring if he ate well, slept well, if he was tired.
This was also fine.
Give him warmth, so he wouldn’t be unhappy because of so unhappy events.
Yes, exactly this!
Ava Sterling figured it out, and she felt relaxed, no longer worried, extrely comfortable.
However, she felt comfortable, but to Poe Vaughn, those natural words fell into his ears differently.
It was like in a desert, a gentle breeze carried a fine drizzle, or like petals falling onto a calm mountain lake, stirring ripples upon ripples.
Poe Vaughn’s heart was stirred.
Ava Sterling didn’t hear Poe Vaughn’s voice and didn’t think too much about it, she continued: "I didn’t disturb you, did I? Shouldn’t have. If I had disturbed you, you definitely wouldn’t have answered the phone."
As she spoke, Ava Sterling’s face blossod into a smile, her eyes curved.
She laughed, feeling especially good.
It was strange, calling this person, hearing his voice, she couldn’t help but feel happy.
While speaking, Ava Sterling rembered sothing, looking at the dressing room table, it was empty, without a lunchbox, Ava Sterling exclaid, saying: "Didn’t Auntie Wei send lunch today?"
Saying this, Ava Sterling got up to check other places, see if it was delivered sowhere else.
But no, it wasn’t there.
With so few things in the dressing room, it was a quick check, no lunch box.
So, did Auntie Wei really not deliver?
Ava Sterling blinked, what’s going on?
Poe Vaughn was surrounded by that phrase "I miss you", a sentence vibrating in his chest, making his heart burningly warm.
At this mont, his eyes deepened.
Deeply frightening.
"Co down."
Finally, Poe Vaughn’s voice ca from the phone, Ava Sterling was startled, confused.
"Co down?"
"Co down what?"
She didn’t imdiately understand the aning of Poe Vaughn’s words.
Poe Vaughn listened to this bewildered and dumbfounded speech, speaking: "I’m at Celeste, co down, let’s go ho for lunch."
"Ah..."
Ava Sterling was dumbfounded.
He ant, he ca to pick her up to go back for lunch?
So Auntie Wei didn’t co to deliver lunch because of this?
However, going back and forth like this took a lot of ti.
Ava Sterling calculated, wasting half an hour at the least, she suddenly had a headache, completely forgetting her intention to comfort Poe Vaughn, to undertake her role as a wife.
"Why, why do we have to go back for lunch?"
"I’m very busy at noon!"
"I follow the previous plan, have lunch and then read, the teacher cos to teach , this is perfect; it maximizes ti, doesn’t waste a minute."
"But now, if I go back with you for lunch, a lot of ti will be wasted on the way back and forth; it’s just wasting ti."
"Poe, I don’t want to go back for lunch. I want to eat right here at the company."
Ava Sterling expressed her demands directly, without holding back.
She clearly conveyed her unhappiness to him, which was open honesty.
Poe Vaughn said nothing more.
Suddenly sothing flashed in Ava Sterling’s mind, her heart tightened, her face changed.
