Henry lifted his chin a little. "It's okay."
"I guess it works." Yvonne chuckled a little and picked up the tickets happily and looked at them again.
Seeing Yvonne so happy, the unease in his heart dissipated.
"You can continue looking at those tickets. I’m going t o my study to make a call." Henry stood up and went upstairs after that.
Yvonne looked up and watched as Henry until he disappeared into the stairway. She kept the tickets carefully and took out her phone. She searched online for more information about the fashion show so as not to make a fool of herself on the actual day.
She only put down her phone reluctantly and went upstairs to her room when Sue came to look for her at 1 1 pm.
Henry wasn't back yet and was still busy in his study.
Yvonne knew that he was dealing with his business s o she didn't want to disturb him. After washing up, she laid on her bed and fell asleep.
When she woke up, it was already morning.
The first thing Yvonne did when she opened her eyes was look over to her side. As expected, it was empty, but the dent in the pillow meant that Henry had been back last night.
Thinking about it, Yvonne reached out and touched the empty side of the bed where Henry had been lying. It was cold so she knew that it had been some time since he left.
For the past two days, he had almost always gone to bed late and gotten up early. If this continued, she wondered how long his body could keep up with it-he was already thirty after all.
"Yvonne." Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door. Sue's voice drifted from the door. “Are you awake?"
Yvonne rubbed her eyes and sat up. "I'm up. You can come in, Sue."
The door flung open and Sue came in with a laundry basket. “Good morning, Yvonne." 3
"Good morning.” Yvonne yawned, "It is quite early, Sue. What's the matter?" Yvonne asked lethargically.
Sue placed the laundry basket down. "Master Lancaster called just now. He wants Mr. Lancaster and you to return to the family mansion for dinner tonight.”
"Return to the family mansion?" Yvonne stopped fixing her hair, finding it strange. "Why would Grandpa suddenly want us to return to the family mansion?" "Yvonne, have you forgotten? The annual business alliance meeting is coming up. This year, it is the Lancasters' turn to hold the meeting. Master Lancaster probably wants both of you to go to the family mansion to delegate the task of organizing this year’s event," Sue answered.
Yvonne was stunned. "Delegating it to us? But I don't know anything. I've never attended such business alliance events before."
Though she had not attended one before, she did know what it was. The event basically involved a group of corporate bigwigs gathering together and analyzing their business direction next year and officially introducing their heirs.
However, Henry had never brought her along before.
"It will be alright, you can just learn along the way." Aunt Song smiled unconcernedly. "Don't worry, Yvonne. Master Lancaster and Mr. Lancaster will teach you what you need to do then. Don't worry, just get up and have breakfast." 6
"Okay." Yvonne managed a smile. She lifted her blanket, got out of bed, and headed to the bathroom.
After washing up, she went downstairs.
Sue had already laid out her breakfast. Yvonne sat down, picked up her knife and fork, and started eating absent-mindedly.
When she finished eating, she said her goodbyes to Sue and left for Elliot's villa.
She hadn't saved Elliot's phone number, and she had deleted the previous call log, so she couldn't contact him at all now. If she wanted to look for him, she had t o go to his office or to his villa.
She didn't know if he was at the villa at this time, but i f he wasn't, she'd try to meet him at his office.
In the midst of her thoughts, Yvonne found herself standing at the door of Elliot's villa.
She looked fixedly at the door, which was similar to Henry's villa, then took a deep breath and raised her hand to ring the doorbell.
The door quickly opened, but the one who opened the door was not Elliot, but a middle-aged lady about the same age as Sue.
