"Ma’am, I’ve brought you lunch, I’m right downstairs from your company." Ava’s fingers were still on the close-door button about to leave. Hearing Wei Nanny’s words, she immediately pressed the button hard, saying loudly, "You’ve come to my company?" This exclamation was particularly loud, almost as if it had an echo. Wei Nanny instantly sensed the shock and incredulity in Ava’s voice, puzzled, "Yes, what’s wrong, ma’am?" Wei Nanny didn’t feel it was anything unusual, but Ava’s reaction suggested it was a huge deal. At this moment, Wei Nanny felt nervous. The elevator doors had already closed and were descending floor by floor. Listening to Wei Nanny’s words, Ava was in a daze. Wei Nanny came to deliver food for her? To her company? How did Wei Nanny know where her company was? Did the old lady send her? What about Poe? In an instant, countless questions arose in Ava’s mind, making her momentarily unable to react while standing in the elevator. Not hearing Ava’s response, Wei Nanny became more anxious, "Ma’am? Are you still listening?" Wei Nanny’s voice fell clearly into her ears, and Ava’s spirit returned. She gripped her phone tightly, trying to stay calm, steadying her heartbeat. But her heartbeat was fast, and she couldn’t steady it. However, she became considerably calmer.

Ava finally responded, and Wei Nanny felt relieved. Hearing Ava’s question, she looked at the company entrance and said, "I’m at the company entrance." Ava sighed with relief but quickly asked, "How did you come? Did the family driver bring you?" "Then quickly get in the car and go... go to The Concord Plaza to wait for me, I’ll be there soon." "Ah? The Concord Plaza? Ma’am, aren’t you at the company? But..." "I’m at the company, but I can’t talk to you about it now. Just listen to me and go to The Concord Plaza, I’ll be there soon." "Okay, I’m going now." Whatever Ava said was naturally to be done, despite Wei Nanny’s doubts, she obeyed. She hung up the phone, turned around, got in the car, and told the driver to go to The Concord Plaza. Soon the car drove away. Ava hung up the phone, her mind racing. It should be that her grandmother sent Wei Nanny to deliver the food, and as for knowing where her company was, her grandmother naturally told her. She believed her grandmother was well aware of her situation. At this moment, Ava felt relieved. Her grandmother was a very nice person, despite Ava’s own bad temper and disposition. But because Poe personally brought her to her grandmother, she liked her. Ava never thought her grandmother truly liked her for who she was; she was acutely aware of her own flaws. No elder would like someone like her, especially as a daughter-in-law. But because of Poe, her grandmother liked her. Her grandmother was a person of great wisdom, Ava understood this. But despite knowing these things, Ava was still emotionally moved by her grandmother’s meticulous concern. Feeling warmth in her heart, Ava’s face broke into a smile. The elevator stopped at the first floor, and Ava walked out with a smile on her lips, hailed a taxi, and left. Lauren had been in a taxi outside the entrance, not leaving. She clearly saw Wei Nanny, a stranger’s face, and then watched her leave. Then, she saw Ava come out, get into a car, and leave. She immediately told the driver, "Uncle, follow that car!" To make a surprise visit, she had to follow. Now, she wasn’t afraid of being discovered. The driver heard Lauren’s words, quickly started the car, and followed. Ava didn’t notice the car following her; it was noon, time for lunch, and there were lots of taxis on the streets. Moreover, after getting in the car, Ava dialed Poe’s number to call him. She felt she should inform him of her situation to avoid any unexpected incidents. She believed, with his capability, he could handle anything that came up. She trusted him entirely. The call went through. Listening to the ringtone, looking at the scenery ahead, Ava felt a good mood, smiling. The meeting ended, and Poe walked out of the conference room heading to the president’s office. Quentin followed, discussing the important tasks ahead. Just as they reached the president’s office door, the secretary was waiting there. Poe’s gaze fell on the secretary, the meaning plain, speaking. The secretary stepped forward, whispering, "President Vaughn, the old madam is here." His eyes flickered, a low murmur escaping his throat, "Hmm." He stepped forward, opened the door to the president’s office, and went in. Quentin followed him in, placed the files down, and then exited, closing the door. The secretary remained outside, seeing Quentin come out, she lowered her head. She didn’t leave as she knew Quentin had questions. Sure enough, Quentin closed the door and asked, "When did the old madam arrive?" "She’s been here for about twenty minutes." "The old madam said not to inform President Vaughn so as not to disrupt his work; she was content to wait in his office." Quentin’s expression shifted slightly, "Did the old madam say anything else?" The secretary shook her head, "Nothing else." "Got it, you can get back to work." The secretary left, and Quentin stood there, gazing at the closed office door, a hint of confusion in his eyes. The old madam rarely visited the company; unless necessary, she wouldn’t come. And in his memory, the old madam’s visits could be counted on one hand. What brought the old madam to the office today? Inside the president’s office, Sharon sat on the sofa sipping tea. Seeing Poe come in, her face beamed with affection, absent of any sternness. "The meeting is finished?" Poe walked over and sat on the sofa beside Sharon, "Yes, it’s done." Poe looked at Sharon, waiting for her next words. The saying goes there’s no visit to the Temple of Three Treasures without a reason; Sharon’s presence here naturally indicated there was something to discuss. Facing her grandson’s deep gaze that seemed to see through her thoughts completely, she smiled, "It’s noon now, let’s have lunch first, and talk after lunch." After speaking, she glanced at Aunt You. Aunt You had accompanied Sharon, essentially everywhere Sharon went. Aunt You took the cue, opening the thermos and laying out the food. Poe didn’t say anything more, going to wash his hands for lunch. "These are all your favorites, come, eat more." Sitting at the table, Poe hadn’t picked up his chopsticks when Sharon started serving him food. Sharon had eaten lunch before coming, and these dishes were prepared for Poe. Poe acknowledged with a sound, picked up his chopsticks, and began to eat. Sharon watched with a face full of loving satisfaction. She was most satisfied with this grandson of hers, satisfied in every way. They say in life there’s nothing perfect; she had long accepted the untimely loss of her daughter, and that the moon waxes and wanes. A grandson so outstanding, the heavens surely must take something else from him. She understood this well. Poe finished this meal under Sharon’s gaze, and soon Aunt You cleared the table and left, closing the door. At this moment, Sharon began to speak.
