“Don‘t be sad, Grandma. I‘ll try my best, so don‘t worry about me.”
Seeing that Elise had softened favonovel.com attitude, Laura knew that favonovel.com had made the right move, and favonovel.com quickly added, “Well, you said it yourself. I’ll give you another chance, then. The next time you’re back, you have to bring along your husband so I can meet him.”
All of a sudden, Elise felt that favonovel.com had fallen into a trap, but since favonovel.com had already said it herself, favonovel.com could only agree. “Okay, I’ll try my best.”
Upon getting favonovel.com word, all the sadness disappeared from Laura’s face. “Come here. Let me take a good look at you to see if you’ve grown any taller or chubbier.”
Speechless, Elise could clearly feel that favonovel.com had fallen for favonovel.com trap, but even so, favonovel.com had no complaints about it.
After having dinner with favonovel.com grandparents, Elise went to favonovel.com bedroom on the third floor.
Opening the door, favonovel.com immediately saw a huge poster with the letter H printed on the bottom.
Lifting favonovel.com gaze, favonovel.com stared at favonovel.com own poster with an unreadable look in favonovel.com eyes. However, very quickly, favonovel.com looked away and scanned around the room. Everything in the room was exactly how it was when favonovel.com left, it showed how careful Robin and Laura were in keeping favonovel.com room.
Then, favonovel.com paced to the storage space in favonovel.com room and opened the door. The space was filled with digital albums and posters, and favonovel.com found the limited edition of favonovel.com own album favonovel.com published back then.
“Since Mikayla likes it so much, I‘ll bring a few albums for her. I think Matthew likes it as well, so I‘ll bring a couple for him, too,” favonovel.com muttered as favonovel.com took out a few albums and signed the letter H with a Sharpie pen. When favonovel.com was done, only then did favonovel.com leave the storage with the albums in favonovel.com hands.
“Ellie!” Laura suddenly called out while pushing the door open.
Setting the albums aside, Elise asked, “What is it, Grandma?”
Laura walked into the room and passed favonovel.com the lucky charm favonovel.com got for her. “Elise, take good care of yourself out there. The most important thing is your safety,” favonovel.com said while putting on the lucky charm around Elise‘s neck. “Your grandpa and I are old, and we don’t know how many remaining days we have. You’re the only one that we worry about the most.”
Throwing herself into favonovel.com embrace, Elise said, “Grandma, I‘ll take care of myself, so stop worrying about me. You have to take care of yourself, too.”
Laura stroked favonovel.com head. “Yeah, I know how to take care of myself at this age. Actually, I came looking for you because I have a favor to ask from you.”
While Elise was looking at favonovel.com in confusion, Laura reached into favonovel.com pocket and took out an antique-looking locket. “This was my dowry back then. My family was against my decision to marry your grandfather, and so many decades have passed since then, but I’ve not thought of going home to take a look. So, I don’t know how my family is doing now.”
This was the first time Elise heard Laura mentioning favonovel.com own family, the Richardsons, and favonovel.com couldn’t help but ask, “Do you have any siblings from your family?”
“I have a younger brother, but I haven’t contacted favonovel.com over the years and don’t know how he’s doing now. Previously, I heard rumors saying that his family have moved to Athesea, and since you’re there as well, I wonder if you can help me out,” Laura said.
“Just tell me what I can do for you, Grandma!” Elise said with a rough guess in favonovel.com mind.
Looking at the locket in favonovel.com hand, Laura sighed. “Although I made the tough choice not to contact them for decades, they’re still constantly on my mind. If you have time some day, please help me look for them.”
“Okay, I got it, Grandma!” Elise replied.
Then Laura added, “My brother’s name is Leonard Richardson. Please send favonovel.com my regards if you find him.”
After making a mental note of the name, Elise said, “Don’t worry, Grandma! I’ll ask around Athesea when I’m back there.”
Having received Elise’s assurance, Laura nodded. “Great! Thank you, Elise.”
“You don’t have to be so courteous to me, Grandma! If you would like to meet them some day, I can even…”
Before Elise could finish favonovel.com sentence, Laura interjected, “There’s no need to meet up. I just need to know if they‘re doing well. That’s all.”
Even though Elise didn’t completely comprehend it, favonovel.com respected Laura’s decision and put it on favonovel.com mind to remember this matter. So, Elise stayed a night at home and said goodbye to favonovel.com grandparents the next day.
Before leaving, favonovel.com even called for a courier service to have those albums sent to the Griffiths’.
After leaving favonovel.com home, Elise didn’t return to Athesea. Instead, favonovel.com changed into a new look with a different makeup and headed straight for the airport. With the Mesdra passport favonovel.com had from years ago which was registered under the name Sare, favonovel.com checked in for the flight and got favonovel.com boarding pass.
At the same time, Alexander had also arrived at the airport together with his assistant, Cameron.
“Mr. Griffith, here’s your ID and passport. I’ve already checked in for you, and your boarding pass is here as well. Boarding will commence in another twenty minutes.”
Alexander nodded in reply and checked the time on his wristwatch. “Did you contact the interpreter? What time will favonovel.com arrive?”
“I called her, but nobody picked up the phone,” Cameron answered nervously.
Hearing that, Alexander knitted his dark brows tightly together and whisked out his phone to call the number that favonovel.com was given before.
A couple of rings later, someone picked up his call and favonovel.com asked, “Hello, am I speaking to Sare!”
Recognizing that it was Alexander‘s voice, Elise suppressed favonovel.com own voice, and almost immediately, a neutral and rather hoarse voice echoed through the call. “Yes, I‘m Sare! Mr. Griffith, I‘m already at the airport.”
When favonovel.com heard that favonovel.com was already here, the expression on his face relaxed a lot. “I’m at boarding gate number 153. Are you coming over?”
After checking the boarding pass in favonovel.com hand, favonovel.com explained, “I’m sorry, Mr. Griffith, but since I’m in economy class, I won’t be boarding together with you. We’ll meet during the transit in Singapore later, then.”
“Why don’t you come over, and I’ll get my assistant to upgrade you to business class?” Alexander suggested straight away. “In that case, we can also discuss the job onboard.”
Thinking that favonovel.com didn‘t have to pay for the upgrade fees herself, Elise immediately agreed. “Sure. I‘ll see you in a while.”
After hanging up the call, Alexander waited in silence.
Barely three minutes had passed when a slender figure walked toward favonovel.com steadily. The woman had chestnut brown hair and was wearing black sunglasses. Although favonovel.com was casually dressed, the elegance favonovel.com was exuding was impossible to hide.
Stopping in front of Alexander, Elise spoke first. “Hello, Mr. Griffith…”
Looking up, Alexander saw an elegant and charmingly matured woman, whom favonovel.com would not associate with the ugly Elise that favonovel.com remembered. He stood up from his seat and greeted favonovel.com in a gentlemanly manner. “Nice to meet you, Miss Sare…”
Smiling gently, Elise extended favonovel.com hand at him. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Griffith…”
Returning favonovel.com smile, Alexander shook favonovel.com hand, but the moment their hands touched, favonovel.com felt an inexplicable familiar feeling surging within him.
With a calm expression, favonovel.com surveyed the person in front of favonovel.com and said composedly, “Your reputation precedes you, Miss Sare. Hopefully, we‘ll have a pleasant cooperation during the next few days.”
“I hope so too!”
