Sue laughed earnestly, "Not necessarily, but sir does stay the night sometimes, just like last night. That's why I packed him a change of clothes.”
"Is that so?" replied Yvonne, but still she felt that something was off.
But Sue's explanation was logical.
"It is," nodded Sue. “Alright madam, I must be on my way. I'll bring these ingredients to the kitchen while you put sir's things in his room."
As she finished, she picked up the ingredients and walked off, leaving Yvonne alone with the luggage.
Without a choice, Yvonne sighed and picked up the luggage as she was told.
After she left the luggage in his room, Sue brought out a platter of fruits from the kitchen.
When Sue saw her, she smiled at her and said, "Come madam, try some of these fruits. It was couriered to us today when the fruits had been picked this morning. Sir had asked me to let you have it specifically."
Yvonne walked over and picked up a strawberry, she then took a bite.
Sue asked, "How does it taste?" "Very sweet.” Yvonne’s eyes lit up and nodded.
Sue immediately passed the platter to Yvonne and said, "Have some more then madam.”
“Alright," answered Yvonne.
There was no way a fruit lover like her would pass up o n such rare and delicious fruits.
Sue saw that she was happily eating and went back to her chores so as to not disturb Yvonne.
At lunchtime when Sue had finished preparing the meal, she brought out her phone and asked, "Madam, can I trouble you with something?"
"What is it?" Yvonne looked at her curiously.
Sue waved her phone, "Sir had just called saying Frederick left on an errand and had not made him any lunch, so he’s asking me to deliver it to him. However, I need to head back to the villa for a while shortly so I can't deliver it to him."
"So, you would like to ask me to deliver it to him instead?” Yvonne seemed to understand what Sue had said.
Sue nodded her head. "That's right, would you be able t o help me madam?"
Yvonne stared down at her feet, without agreeing or disagreeing to her request. "Why didn't he order his own food?”
Sue laughed. "Sir is a workaholic. Aside from knowing how to cook, he doesn't have the habit of doing
anything else. What’s more, Frederick is the one who would normally arrange his meals for sir, so I doubt sir would even know the number to dial for food services."
Yvonne thought about what Sue had said and agreed with her. "Alright then, I'll take a trip down to meet him then."
"That’s wonderful.” Sue happily returned to her room and brought out a lunchbox shortly after. She handed the lunchbox to Yvonne and reminded her again, "Sir i s currently at headquarters, please don’t go to the wrong place madam."
"Don’t worry," replied Yvonne with a nod, she then grabbed the lunchbox and walked off.
But she regretted it as soon as she walked out of the house.
She had forgotten that she had not eaten yet.
But since she had already promised Sue, she had no choice but to endure her hunger and carry on.
Yvonne sighed as she reflected on her silliness and went to hail a taxi to the Lancaster Group's headquarters.
Speaking of which, this would be her first visit to the headquarters. In the past, she had only seen pictures 0 f the headquarters on the Internet instead of seeing it herself.
She had thought of sneaking there previously, hoping to hoping to catch a glimpse of Henry, but she was too scared at the time. She was afraid of being caught by Henry.
She had not expected that she would now be able to head there without sneaking in. She was wondering if the headquarters would look the same as what she had seen on the Internet.
As she thought of this, she held onto the lunchbox tightly, and her heart raced with anticipation.
Half an hour later, she had arrived.
As she got out of the taxi, she stood by the roadside and looked up at the building. It was even bigger and more glorious than her office and she silently felt amazed at the scenery.
From her viewpoint, each floor seemed to be slightly slanted. Also, the entire building was owned by the Lancaster Group. Her office was only half the size while the other half was being rented to other companies.
Its grandeur was enough proof that the building was the headquarters of the Lancaster Group.
After admiring the building, Yvonne took a deep breath and gathered her feelings before walking towards the building.
