"Just see Grandpa, don’t worry about anyone else." Ava Sterling was stunned. Not worry about them? Won’t the old man doubt their relationship? Ava’s mind was filled with questions, clearly skeptical. However, looking at the person calm as ever, with eyes steady, it seemed like everything was already planned out. Relaxed, Ava nodded, "Okay, then I won’t worry about it, you’ll have everything arranged." This sentence was filled with complete trust, without doubting his ability at all. Having asked all she needed, Ava opened the car door and got out. Poe Vaughn heard the door open, his eyes shifted. The car door closed in front of him, as Ava stepped outside, hailed a taxi, and left. At this moment, the surroundings were silent. Inside the car, the atmosphere was even more quiet. The driver sitting at the wheel was shocked at her abrupt departure. The lady just... left like that? Poe sat in the back seat, watching the taxi drive away quickly disappearing from view, after a while, he said, "Back to the company." Ava was done, naturally, she left. Poe still had work, so she certainly had to take a taxi back. However, after getting into the taxi, Ava thought of a question, wasn’t he heading back to the company? Her car was also outside his company, so why did she take a taxi back instead? Wouldn’t it be better to just ride back with him? Suddenly, Ava cursed herself internally, what a dumb move! Since she was already in the car, it was impossible to stop now. She remembered what Jace Kingsley talked to her about last night, so Ava quickly took out her phone and called Jace. There were a few hours until five, she didn’t know where Jace was, but she planned to meet him briefly, solve the matter, and then have nothing else to worry about. Ava relaxed while hearing the phone ring, with the dial tone inside. At this time, in the center of Aurelia city, within a towering office building under the scorching sun. Jace Kingsley sat in the office chair, instructing his assistant on work matters when the phone on the desk rang. His words paused, and he picked up his phone. Her name flashing on the screen touched his heart at this moment, Jace’s eyes shifted, his serious demeanor replaced by warmth, and a smile formed at his lips. "That’s all for now." The assistant left, and Jace answered the phone, "Ava." He stood up, moved towards the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the bright sky outside, his eyes smiling. "Jace, are you busy now? Do you have time?" "I do, where are you now?" "Oh, I’m outside, where you are, I’ll come to find you." Jace’s eyes flickered slightly, saying, "Where are you? I’m planning to head back, I can pick you up." "Going back? Back where?" Ava was stunned, her voice unknowingly loud. But quickly, she asked, "You live at Silvermist Isles?" "Yes, what’s the matter?" Looking at the light outside, although the smile in Jace’s eyes was fading, his lips still held a smile. Ava realized she overreacted, promptly said, "No, I just didn’t expect you to live at Silvermist Isles." "Which building at Silvermist Isles do you live in?" Ava thought of Faye Vaughn, Poe’s cousin, who lived at Silvermist Isles. Hopefully, Jace wasn’t a neighbor of Faye Vaughn. Otherwise, that would be troublesome. Jace, hands in pockets, listening to the voice from the phone, clearly heard the change in her tone. "Building nineteen, what’s wrong? Do you have friends living at Silvermist Isles?" For a moment, Ava dryly laughed, "Haha... Just kidding, why would I have friends living at Silvermist Isles. What a joke." She lied, feeling a bit uneasy. Jace’s eyes lowered, "Aren’t I your friend?" "We’re friends too, haha... Look at me, didn’t even think of that." "No worries. Where are you now, I’ll pick you up." Ava immediately looked at the scenery outside, saying, "I’m in the car now, tell me where you are, I’ll come to you." Jace raised his eyes, "I’m on the road too, just tell me your location, I’ll come pick you up, just wait there." Ava thought for a moment, said, "That’s fine." After speaking, she observed the buildings ahead, then told the driver to stop at the next bus stop. Quickly, the driver turned the wheel, and the car stopped. Ava paid and got off, then told Jace, "I’ll send you the address." The call ended, Ava immediately shared her location and sent it to Jace, very quickly Jace received it. He opened the address, noticing they were relatively close, just a ten-minute drive away. He replied with a simple okay, then put down his phone, looking at the blazing sun outside, his eyes squinted. Ava, what could make you hide things from everyone? Ava looked at Jace’s reply, smiled slightly, put her phone down and waited there. However, this was a bus stop, and as soon as she got off, she instantly attracted attention around, especially as she walked over and stood by the bus stop, the gazes became more intense. Because she was very beautiful, not just her face, but her figure and aura too, her entire being shimmering. Confident, beautiful, dazzling. Ava didn’t really notice the attention directed at her, truth be told she hadn’t taken the bus in a while, so standing at this bus stop she felt curious, it felt nice. Looking up at everything surrounding her, Ava’s lips curved, her mood was extremely good. Official source is NoveI-Fire.ɴet
