Ava suspected she heard wrong and asked, "Go to your place for dinner?" A deep voice came through, a tone she was familiar with, calm and unruffled. Ava blinked, perhaps it was the old lady who instructed Nanny Wei to deliver food to Poe Vaughn, then asked her to join for dinner. The purpose being, to cultivate feelings? Ava felt, this must be it, definitely! Though the old lady left, her heart stayed. Yes, not bad, she liked this way of building affection. So, Ava flashed a bright smile and said, "Okay, I’m coming over now!" Click, the phone hung up, and Ava strode out in her high heels, click-clack. By this time, the driver was already waiting outside, seeing Ava come out, he immediately got out to open the car door. Ava blinked, and her smile broadened. This person was really considerate, the driver had even arrived early. It wasn’t that this person was considerate, it was the old lady who was considerate. The old lady must have instructed Poe Vaughn on what to do, and that’s why he was so thoughtful. Otherwise, with his cold personality, how could he even think of such a considerate thing? Ava thought, the old lady was truly wonderful, she must make time to visit her. Soon, Ava got in the car. Within seconds, the car drove away. It was lunchtime, also the time for a lunch break, traffic was dense, especially in the heat, there were more cars. However, the driver knew the routes that weren’t congested, so before long, the car stopped outside the company gate. At that moment, many people came out of the company, either going for lunch, or taking the time to deal with some matters, it was bustling. It was the first time Ava saw so many people coming and going in the company. And at this moment, she suddenly realized a problem. Would her frequent visits to his company make the employees think too much? Would they gossip? Perhaps, would they even leak it out? These questions soon emerged, and Ava frowned. Yes, how did she not think of this problem? At this moment, Ava felt tense inside, but quickly, she thought of something else. She had been to his company many times already and it hadn’t been reported, so what’s the reason? In an instant, thoughts raced through Ava’s mind, and soon she relaxed. She figured out the answer. Where is this place? It’s his company, his kingdom, and he’s the king here. He rules everything here, who would dare to speak recklessly? Who would dare to leak anything? Even if people had questions, gossip, or curiosity, they wouldn’t dare speak out. Because once they do, it’s over for them. At this moment, Ava pictured Poe Vaughn’s cold and emotionless face, her the corner of her mouth curled upwards. The man had an extremely strong intimidating aura, especially with that powerful and overwhelming presence, making others afraid to even approach. Not to mention just his presence, even his reputation in the business world would send shivers down anyone’s spine. Naturally, his employees knew about his temperament and wouldn’t dare speak out of turn. No wonder he never cared whenever she came by. Because he knew no one would dare to spread rumors. Ava’s smile deepened, she thought, there were benefits to him being hard to talk to, it could save a lot of trouble. Just like now, she could come here freely without the fear of being exposed. Thinking of this, Ava felt extremely delighted, she confidently and beautifully walked into the company lobby in her high heels, and then under everyone’s gaze, entered the elevator. Everyone watched as the elevator doors closed and Ava disappeared from sight, each person wore a surprised look. "Supermodel Sterling used to come every afternoon, but now it’s noon?" "Sob, this love affair makes me want to fall in love too..." "I’m really curious what Supermodel Sterling is doing at the company now, I’m so curious..." "I’m not curious, but I’m curious about President Vaughn and Supermodel Sterling’s interactions, one is aloof and noble like a deity, the other straightforward and bright like a rose, such a clash, sob... I’m so excited!" "Please stop, what you said makes me want to glue my eyes to Supermodel Sterling." "You can’t anymore, Supermodel Sterling has already entered the elevator." Ava, familiar with her way, went straight outside the CEO’s office, where the secretary was already waiting, respectfully and with a smile, opening the door for her. Ava gave the secretary a beautiful smile, then walked in with elegance. The secretary was stunned by Ava’s smile, lost in thought. Supermodel Sterling’s smile... was so beautiful... The CEO’s office door closed, and Ava walked straight in, seeing the person standing by the floor-to-ceiling window on the phone. She blinked, looking at the figure dressed in a dark shirt and trousers, hands in pockets, bathed in sunlight, with a straight posture. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel⚑fire.net All austerity and unreachable by mere mortals, truly making one want to reach out. Her smile deepened, Ava tossed her bag onto the sofa, then looked at the dining table. Lunch was already laid out, several small insulated boxes occupied most of the table, clearly indicating there were many dishes. But equally, the portions weren’t large. This was the old lady’s advocated style of nutritional thrift. Ava walked over, her stomach growled again, and ignoring Poe Vaughn, she picked up chopsticks and eagerly started eating at the table. She was really hungry. Now seeing these delicious dishes, how could she resist? Poe Vaughn heard the noise, turned his gaze, and saw Ava happily eating with chopsticks at the dining table. He said, "Yes, that’s the matter." "I’ll be relying on you later." Claire Vaughn listened to the words from the phone, once she got a positive response, she didn’t say much: "No problem, we’re family, I just called to check because I heard the news." "Now that it’s confirmed, I know." "That’s it, you get busy." The call ended, Poe Vaughn put down his phone. He placed the phone on the coffee table, walked over. Ava heard the sound, still chewing her food, turned her head. Seeing Poe Vaughn walk over, she didn’t mind, directly saying, "I started eating first, really too hungry." These classes were really exhausting, always hungry when the time came. Poe Vaughn didn’t say a word, walked over, and sat in a chair, where a pack of disinfectant wipes lay on the table, he pulled one out to wipe his hands. The whole action was unhurried, elegant, and dignified. Ava watching his actions, remembered something, she hadn’t washed her hands. Uh, this person seemed to have a cleanliness obsession. She heard Nanny Wei mention it. However, in all her time spent with him, she never felt he had such an obsession, almost forgot about it. At this moment, watching his demeanor and actions, Ava realized, this person truly had a cleanliness obsession. Nanny Wei didn’t lie to her. Ava said, "I didn’t wash my hands, what should I do?" Would he dislike it, refuse to eat, then all the food would be hers? Ava thought, that’s fine too! She could order him a whole new meal. Thinking as such, Ava quickly pulled out her phone, swiftly swiping on it, while saying: "Nanny Wei said you had a cleanliness obsession, I didn’t wash my hands before eating, you must find it distasteful, I’ll order for you..."
