"Nothing.” Yvonne shoved another spoonful of food into her mouth.
She was smiling because she found it refreshing and exciting to be eating with him in her office.
The feeling was different than when they were eating together in his office. No one was allowed to enter his office without his permission, hence no one would be able to find out about their relationship.
But it was different in her office. There, many people would walk in and out, someone could even walk through her office door right then and see the both of them eating. When that happened, their relationship would probably be exposed to the public.
Henry saw that Yvonne was being secretive and was curious as to why, but did not intend to force it out of her. He let go of her chin and they continued to eat.
After they had eaten, Henry followed through with his words and helped Yvonne with her remaining work.
His working capabilities were far beyond what Yvonne could ever hope to reach. By the time she had finished handling one document, Henry had already completed two or three documents.
Very soon, the whole mountain of documents had been completely obliterated.
Yvonne stretched her back when she was done and looked at Henry gratefully. "Thank you Henry. If it wasn't for you, I have no idea how long I would need to stay here tonight."
"Next time, don't be silly and do other people's work. The more you do it, the more they will take advantage of you and ask for you to complete their work for them,” lectured Henry as he flicked her on the forehead.
Yvonne shrinked her neck and said, "It's not like that, I was helping out Lynette today. She had some urgent matters to look into, and that's why I’m substituting for her. I wouldn’t normally help others with their work.”
"As long as you know it. Let’s go back now." Henry picked up the tupperware and headed for the exit.
Yvonne turned off her computer and hurried behind him.
Back at the villa, Sue saw that the couple had entered the villa together and couldn't stop smiling. "There you are, I wondered if the two of you were going to stay the night out."
"How could we?" said Yvonne with a smile.
Henry passed the tupperware to Sue. "I’ll be upstairs for a conference call. Make some tea and bring it upstairs." "Understood sir," replied Sue.
Henry walked away, leaving Yvonne and Sue in the living room.
Sue had left the tupperware aside. "Madam, I saw Elliot this afternoon."
"Really? You saw him?” Yvonne was surprised.
She had never actually met Elliot within the villa area, whether it was before she moved out or when she moved back in.
It was only that one time near the outskirts of the villa by the taxi stand. That was the time when she had planned to divorce Henry and return to her village.
"Yes, I coincidentally saw him driving off in his car when I went out to receive some parcels in the afternoon," replied Sue as she nodded.
Yvonne pondered for a few seconds. "So what do you think? Could he be Henry's brother?"
"About that..." Sue forced a wry smile. "I can't tell to be honest. There isn't any resemblance between him and sir."
"It’s understandable if they do not have any resemblance. Henry mentioned before that Hayden had gotten cosmetic surgery previously.”
"That’s true, but there doesn't seem to be any signs of Elliot undergoing cosmetic surgery. No matter how advanced the technology is, it's impossible to not be able to find any traces of surgery anywhere. That’s why I can’t tell for sure," said Sue as she sighed.
Yvonne poured herself a glass of water. "It's alright. Henry has said that he's found a way to get Elliot's DNA. The moment he gets it, we’ll be able to find out for sure if he’s Hayden or not."
"Get his DNA? I can help with that,” said Sue surprisingly. 1
Yvonne straightened her back in surprise and said," You?”
"Yes, I’m quite familiar with the other butlers in the area. We've even got a chat group and Elliot's butler is i n it coincidentally. I should be able to get some leads from there," said Sue as she took out her cell phone and showed Yvonne the group that she had just mentioned.
Yvonne took a few glances and found that there were actually quite a number of people in the group. "Wow Sue, you've got quite a vast network there, I'm impressed."
