"Just think of it as a personal favor. We can compensate her for her help later, right?" Freda suggested.
"Naya owns many hospitals, and she's the Giblo family's private doctor. She isn't in need of money, " Carla revealed. After pondering about it, she added, "I know her well. She would've done that if it was conceivable. I'm afraid that the doctor is quite hard to please. Find out about that doctor, and we'll ask for his help personally."
"Got it." Freda immediately worked on it.
"Ms. Lierger, where are we heading now?" Ilali, who was driving, asked.
"Head back home for now." Carla glanced at her watch and realized it was past four in the afternoon. "How is the packing going?"
"Rogan and Jewel brought the kids back to Aymo City. Everything in the villa had been packed and moved out. All there's left is the plants and goldfish, " Ilali reported.
"Let's go back and take a look."
Carla wanted to retrieve the photos full of her memories.
"Yes."
Back in the empty Whyte villa at Yavawi, there was a desolate vibe about the vacant space.
The weather was cloudy today without any trace of sunlight in sight, but the tree outside the door stood tall and beautiful.
There were leaves all over the ground, and some had dropped into the pond. The fish were chasing the leaves around playfully.
"Rogan is in a hurry, huh?" Freda alighted from the car and joked, "She must be racing back to see Bugara. I can't believe she left with the kids without waiting for us."
Ilali burst into laughter. "Yeah, the lovebirds can't bear to be apart. That's great."
"Find something to fit the fish. We shall bring them with us, " ordered Carla.
She didn't want to leave the fish to fend for themselves, for they'd surely die of starvation.
"Sure. I'll get on it now." Ilali left to find a fish tank for the fish.
Freda was doing the final checks to make sure they didn't forget anything. "Ms. Lierger, what about the plants? Do you want to bring them along?"
"No need. They can remain here."
Carla entered the house and realized the photos were nowhere to be seen. Rogan probably knew how important the photos were to her and had packed them up.
She went to every room to make sure there was nothing left behind before heading back to Aymo City with Freda and Ilali in tow.
Ilali got a huge fish tank for the fish so they could come to Northridge with them.
As the sun began to set, the Rolls-Royce Phantom drove back home. The trees by the road swayed in the breeze as though they were saying goodbye to Carla and her entourage.
Carla stared at the passing scenery as she vowed silently to kick-start her career after a long rest.
Regardless of what happens in the future, I now have the ability to protect the kids and start anew! But I'll have to deal with the Gymnasium Project first.
"Mr. Giblo, Sir Carl called us three times today to remind you to deal with the Gymnasium Project!"
Zayn was going through some documents in his office in Giblo Group when Benard came in to report carefully, trying not to tread on his toes.
Without bothering to lift his head, Zayn continued signing the documents.
Benard stood aside silently.
Suddenly, Mosa showed up in a haste. "Mr. Giblo, a VIP is here."
"Is this your first day at work?" Zayn snapped. "I won't meet anyone without an appointment."
"It's Sir Carl from F Nation, " Mosa said timidly. "He's waiting in the lobby. The reception desk called the president's office, so I…"
"That old man." Zayn's brows knitted together.
Everyone told me that Lucas' family isn't greedy at all. They are supposed to be nice. Looks like that was all an act.
"The receptionist is waiting for your order, " Mosa prodded carefully. "Should she let him up?"
"Bring him upstairs." Zayn gestured and went back to his work.
"Yes." Mosa left to carry out his order.
"Should I go down personally?" Benard inquired, studying Zayn's reaction.
As Carl was here, he should be welcoming the former if Zayn wasn't about to do that.
