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 moment, Vincent Donovan frowned more deeply. After Ava sent a message 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 time, 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 message, and the sender was Poe Vaughn. With a curled lip, Ava opened the message. 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. Ava felt relieved now. She opened the reply box and quickly started typing to send him a message, but at that moment, her phone buzzed again with another message from him. Ava was rarely surprised. He actually sent her two messages. Her curiosity was piqued. But just as her curiosity rose, she saw the content of his message and was dumbfounded. Poe Vaughn: [Remember 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 message? Is he the kind of person who sends wrong messages? 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 time, 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! For more chapters visit novel⟡fire.net Since when did she take on such a task? Ava immediately thought back to the hundred clauses of their marriage agreement; she remembered clearly that there was no such thing. Moreover, she didn’t recall him mentioning this separately. What does he mean by suddenly bringing this up now? Ava couldn’t figure it out, so she asked directly and immediately 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 mean by sending a message to water the backyard flowers and plants? When did I start managing your garden plants? You never mentioned it, and it’s not in the hundred clauses of our marriage agreement either!" "Are you asking me 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 me 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 agreement on hand, she remembers it well! This requirement isn’t in the agreement at all! A fiery voice came 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 moment, 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?" Without waiting for Poe to answer, she quickly said, "Don’t tell me!" "Just give it to me directly when the time comes; I want to experience the joy of opening a mystery box!" Her voice came through immediately, as joyful as could be. At this moment, the deep night sky and the lights outside fell into Poe Vaughn’s eyes, spreading a glow: "Water daily, for a month." "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 me, and she can report to you in a month!" Ava expertly hung up the phone, elated beyond measure. She thought it was something serious, but it turned out to be good news; this man really gives her surprises from time to time. Not bad, not bad, she likes these surprises. Putting down her phone, Ava checked the time; 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 came through: "Ma’am." "Mrs. Wei, I have a question for you; what time in the evening are the backyard plants 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 message earlier—totally head-scratching. So she immediately said, "From now on, I will be watering the plants at home. I haven’t done this before and don’t know how, so can you tell me? 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. Businessmen 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 summer, it’s hot, and the heat comes 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 mentally prepared, so Ava continued to ask, "Then roughly what time?" "Around seven in the morning, and nine or ten in the evening, but some plants are different, so it still depends on the species." See, as expected, it’s complicated, just like playing chess, full of twists and turns, with all sorts of clever tricks. 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 home in the morning and at night. 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?
