Chapter 11: Welcome Ball
But she learned long ago to stop loving someone, so she can't say yes to Gavin's advances; it would be a disservice to him.
While thinking about this, she automatically ignored the strange bit of emotion she felt for Vinson Gu in her heart.
Leanne Mo thought about it and took out her phone and sent it back to Gavin. She always had to give an account of what happened this afternoon. She came with a mission this time, so she couldn't delay in case there was something to work on.
The call was quickly answered and Gavin's warm but slightly anxious voice came through on the other end of the line, "Ann, are you okay? What's going on? Why aren't you answering your phone? I thought I just heard a man's voice beside you."
Gavin is fond of calling Leanne by 'Ann', perhaps in Gavin's opinion, this title belongs exclusively to him.
"Gavin I'm fine, I just ran into an old friend and forgot to call you back for a moment." Gavin's concern warmed her heart, she suddenly remembered that the time on Gavin's side should be early in the morning, she called but he answered right away, which means he had been waiting for her call.
Thinking about it, Leanne said with some guilt, "It's late, so if there's nothing else, we can talk about it another time, Gavin."
"Ann, wait a minute, tomorrow the Mo family group has prepared a welcome ball for you, the board of directors feel that this is the best way to quickly break into their circle, you left alone at the airport today, the board is very dissatisfied, so......" Gavin said with some difficulty.
"Gavin I understand, don't worry, I will definitely go to that welcome party." Leanne Mo knew Gavin's difficulty, she also thought of Owen Lu they would not let go of this opportunity, so she had been preparing for a long time, everything she had planned, only Vinson Gu was a surprise.
"Ann, if you feel uncomfortable, you don't have to go, I'll take care of the board side for you." Gavin said he had always known Leanne had a kind of animosity toward the Mo family group, but he had never asked why.
"It's okay, Gavin, I chose to come back, I'm ready to face anything." Leanne Mo said lightly, her tone resolute, she came back just to take revenge, how could she back out.
"Well, if that's your decision, I'll definitely support you, but if there's a problem, you have to tell me." Gavin stood in front of the bedroom's floor-to-ceiling window, looking out into the darkness and saying softly, with love for Leanne in his tone.
"I know, Gavin, it's late you should get an early night." Leanne is not feel his love, just can not respond, simply hang up the phone, turn around and go back to the bedroom to sleep, she is too tired today, so before falling asleep nothing to think about ......
Across the ocean.
A handsome man with dark hair and blue eyes, exuding the air of a gentleman, looked out the window and murmured, "Ann, what to do, I already regret letting you go back."
Leanne has nightmares.
Vinson was the jerk in her dreams, bullying her all the time, causing her to sleep restlessly," and when she woke up with two big black circles under her eyes, she walked out the door and startled Miller. "Leanne, what's wrong with you, and why do you have such big black circles under your eyes?" Miller looked at her and screamed.
"Shut up, I didn't sleep well, it's not like I'm dying, what time is it?" Leanne asked.
She had a dream about Vinson Gu last night. She dreamed that he caught herself again and locked herself in a small dark room, smoking and beating at the same time, how could she sleep well. The damn Vinson Gu in the dream did not let herself go, what a devil to mess with.
Remembering what Gavin had said to her yesterday, she yawned and said to Miller, "Miller, help me pack up later and go order a proper dress, I'm going to a party tonight."
Although Miller rants a bit, it must be said that he is a very comprehensive life butler. From makeup styling down to cooking and cleaning with children, there is nothing he can't do, Leanne Mo needs him to do what he can do, a variety of roles to switch freely.
"What party? Do you need me to come with you?" Miller asked as a matter of course. He had been accompanying Leanne in her struggles over the years, sometimes needing to accompany her to occasions as a male companion, and had become accustomed to such conversations.
"No, it's just a little welcome party, I can handle myself, don't worry. You stay home and take care of Leanne, no one will be able to find him." Leanne Mo said to Miller as she brushed her teeth.
"I should have listened to Gavin and left Daniel at his place, how dangerous it was to bring her here." Miller grumbled, walking to the kitchen to bring the warm meal to the table.
It's not that Leanne Mo didn't think that taking little Daniel with her would definitely bring a lot of trouble. But when she thought of her life without her mother, and then looked at little Daniel she couldn't bear to leave him in a foreign country, so she took him with her, not knowing whether such a decision was right or wrong.
"Okay, enough chatter, I need a stunning appearance tonight, you know, and by the way, don't show your neck." Leanne didn't want to think about annoying things for the moment, and just wanted to deal with that upcoming party in the evening. She suddenly remembered that she hadn't removed the mark from her neck yet, so she instructed.
"I see." This time Miller was surprisingly silent, even when she came back yesterday, he did not ask one more question, Leanne Mo could not help but feel some strange on, but she did not raise her voice to ask why, because she would not ask for trouble.
Half an hour later, Leanne Mo had washed up and sat down at the table to start eating, while Miller was nowhere to be seen. When she finished eating and sat on the couch listening to music, Miller had returned with a large bag of stuff.
"I've ordered your dress, now I'll start styling it for you and they'll send it over when the time comes. I'm busy too, so don't keep asking me to do these little things, okay?" Miller said discontentedly as he looked at Leanne who was sitting leisurely listening to music.
"Aren't you a professional? Besides, I'm paying you for it!" Leanne Mo replied out of habit, and sure enough, after she said that, Miller stopped complaining and happily ran over to discuss with her which haircu should look better.
