Yvonne followed the voice and saw Sam dressed in white loungewear as he walked into the room while holding a small tablet.
Yvonne's eyes widened slightly as he got closer. She seemed stunned.
That was right, she was stunned!
When men saw beautiful women, they would be stunned by their beauty and likewise, when women saw beautiful men, they would feel the same way.
For example, when she saw Henry for the first time, she was stunned by his looks.
She had only felt this way for three men. The first one was Henry, the second was Elliot, and the third was Sam. This was because all three of them looked stunning. Moreover, Sam had just changed his clothes.
She suddenly realized that it was the first time she had seen Sam wearing clothes other than formal suits. He was in a casual style, which was completely different from his usual serious and formal suit.
She thought that this clothing style suited Sam perfectly as it matched his personality, just like prince charming in the movies.
"Miss Frey? Miss Frey?" The maid gently pushed Yvonne and called out her name when she saw that
Yvonne was in a daze.
Yvonne quickly composed herself and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?"
The maid pointed to Sam and said, "Mr. Smith asked if you've finished your breakfast."
"Yes, yes." Yvonne quickly answered and looked at Sam. "Mr. Smith, why are you here?"
Sam held up a finger and hushed her, motioning her not to speak yet.
Yvonne nodded and covered her mouth as she stopped talking. She stared at him curiously with her almond eyes, wondering what he was doing.
Sam put his finger down and raised the tablet. As he looked at the tablet’s screen, he said in a gentler voice, "Grandma, yes, that's my sister. Do you want to see her?"
Grandmother?
Yvonne suddenly realized something and she started feeling anxious.
If she guessed it correctly, he wanted her to pretend to be his sister, Shannon, and talk to his grandmother!
Sure enough, Sam stopped talking to the elderly on the other end of the video call and looked at Yvonne a s he whispered, "Help me so that Grandma'll be happy.
"..." Yvonne looked embarrassed. She didn't have much confidence in herself because she was worried that she might reveal herself.
In fact, the last favor Sam asked her to do was to go abroad to see his grandmother. Now, she could just see his grandmother through the screen, which was more convenient, but...
"You don't want to?" When Sam saw Yvonne's reluctance to take the tablet in his hand and was deep in thought, Sam thought she didn't want to help him, s o the light in his eyes dimmed.
When Yvonne saw his expression, her heart softened and she replied, "It's not that I don’t want to, I'm just afraid that I might reveal myself because I'm not your sister after all. If your grandmother finds out, it would hurt her."
"No." Sam shook his head with certainty, "I told you that my grandmother only remembers what my younger sister looked like when she was a teenager, and you look almost identical to her from back then, s o she won't be able to tell. Moreover, she'll meet you on screen and she can't touch you, so it's even harder to tell."
"Really?" Yvonne's nervous heart suddenly felt at ease after hearing his words.
That was true-she should only worry about that when she met his grandmother in real life. There was really no need to worry when they were just meeting virtually.
As Yvonne thought about this, she took a deep breath and stretched out her hand to Sam as she finally mustered up the courage. "I'll give it a try."
"Okay." Sam reconnected the video and put the tablet i n her hand.
As soon as the tablet touched her hand, a human face popped up on the screen.
