Chapter 31
Christopher lightly curled his lips and said, “You still haven’t accepted my friend reque
“Oh, sorry” Yvonne suddenly remembered. “I’ll do it in a bit. I’ve been so busy today that I forgot.”
Christopher’s voice was soft, like a melody gently tugging at her heartstrings. “What time shall I pick you up tomorrow?”
“Let’s say 2 pm in the afternoon” Yvonne had other matters to tend to tomorrow morning.
“And where shall we meet?” Christopher asked.
Just by my doorstep, said Yvonne
“Alright, I’ll be there on time.”
Just as Yvonne was about to hang up, Christopher added, “Don’t you like chocolate–flavored cake?”
Yvonne was puzzled by his sudden question.
I noticed you didnt have a single bite in the car.”
Yvonne didn’t expect him to observe her preferences. She casually replied, “I don’t eat a lot of chocolate–flavored things.”
Christopher understood. “Ill get you cakes of other flavors in the future”
Yvonne fell silent.
“You saved my grandpa, it’s only right I get you some snacks.”
Another moment of silence.
“Well, I won’t disturb your rest now,” Christopher gently said, “See you tomorrow, my fiancée
Yvonne remained silent.
“Good night.” Christopher finally uttered.
He thought Yvonne might say “goodnight too. Surprisingly, she just gave a nonchalant “uh–huh” before ending the call. She truly was a unique lady
After hanging up the phone, Yvonne was about to rest when her phone buzzed once again. It was a message from Daniel.
Boss, we’ve got another big shot requesting a hundred outfits, a hundred pairs of shoes, and a hundred bags. He wanted them to be delivered by sunset tomorrow. You must give me the designs now so I can push the factory to work overnight. We have to nail this order.]
Raising an eyebrow, Yvonne texted back: [Who’s the client this time? She thought to herself, I hope it’s n
not me again
[You won’t believe it. He’s even richer than your father, and he’ll probably be the richest person for centuries to come.]
Hold on Yvonne cut in, not in the mood for idle chat. Thinking about her empty warehouse and the costly auction from earlier, where she competed against Bidder No. 1 and snagged those six Heartwell Grass plants, she decided that it was time
to rake in some cash.
Yvonne: I’m sketching now.)
[Sweet, Hoss! You’re finally hitting work mode. I’ll tell the factory to gear up for an all–nighter.]
14:33 Fri, Nov 1 B.
Chapter 31
Yvonne had a few factories that could churn out the clothes, shoe
bags she designed,
69%
She probably didn’t expect that while sketching, the sky outside gradually lit up. Rubbing her sore wrist once more, she sent the final sketch as the clock ticked past seven–thirty
[Boss, if you work this diligently every day, you’ll overtake Christopher Sanchez as the world’s richest person
Yvonne raised an eyebrow. (Christopher is the richest guy in the world?|
Boss, you seriously don’t know who the richest person in the world is? Christopher has been holding that title for three years. Rumor has it he’s drop–dead gorgeous, buit his temper is stary]
Yvonne decided to mute him on WhatsApp. She wasn’t in the mood for his nonsense. She heatled downstairs for breakfast, planning to catch up on some sleep after eating.
[Boss“]
A system alert popped up: Your message has been blocked.]
[Boss Why did you mute me again?]
Samantha was up really early that morning, and Mary and Sophie were there to help fix her breakfast. The three of them. were chatting and giggling secretly. When Yvonne walked in, they quickly stopped and tried to act all normal.
“Good morning, Ms. Yvonne Lynch. Hang on a second. Your breakfast is almost done,” the cook noticed Yvonne and quickly began plating up the food, making it look all fancy. Meanwhile, Mary and Sophie just stood there, not even bothering to say
Iri
“Why are you up so early, Yvonne?” Samantha was the first to speak up, smiling gracefully. If you like sleeping in, you don’t need to change that habit
Yvonne didn’t say anything back but checked out the breakfast that the cook served
- up.
The cook said, “Ms. Yvonne Lynch, I’m Ivan, and I made your breakfast today. We have geoduck, peanut butter, fish. pancakes, avocado toast, cheese sandwiches, lobster bisque, coffee, milk, cereal, and more. Fruits include watermelon, pineapple, and honeydew. I don’t know what you like, so I got a bit of everything. Enjoy, and let me know if anything needs to be improved.”
“Thank you,” said Yvonne, who wasn’t picky about breakfast. She was eager to finish it quickly and go back to catch up on sleep.
Samantha and Mary exchanged a glance before Samantha spoke up, “Yvonne, I heard you’re planning to visit Mr. Matthew Sanchez. How about I accompany you there?”
Yvonne kept munching on her cheese sandwich, taking a sip of milk
“It’s summer break now, so I’ve got time. Normally, I wouldn’t have time to accompany you.” Seeing Yvonne’s silence, Samantha continued. “I guess you haven’t been to fancy events much, right? You might get nervous. I know Mr. Matthew Sanchez well. If you mess up, I can smooth things over. Though I’m not his favorite, he does like having me around. He’ll probably show you some kindness too.”
“Mr. Matthew Sanchez adores Ms. Samantha Lynch the most,” Sophie remarked disdainfully, casting a superior glance at Yvonne. “With Ms. Samantha Lynch present, even if you make a mistake, Mr. Matthew Sanchez will likely forgive you out of respect for her
Thinking the matter was settled, Mary whispered to Samantha, go prepare the outfit you are going to wear today
But Yvonne suddenly spoke up, I’m taking Christopher’s car. If you want to ride along, talk to him. Talking to me won’t change anything
