Chapter 311
She just couldn’t tolerate it.
Should Wall Group manage to deliver the jewelry to Eva ahead of the Starlight Gala, their strong connection would undoubtedly ensure Eva wore it. Kyla eagerly anticipated witnessing Sadie’s response when the limelight inevitably remained on her.
In her studio, Sadie put down the draft she had been reviewing and rubbed her tired eyes.
She had planned on stepping out for a quick break, but when she saw Nanette and Mindy Gordon still working, she paused in confusion.
She thought everyone had already left.
“Why are you two still here?” Sadie asked.
Nanette finally looked up from her desk, adjusted her glasses, and smiled. “Of course, we’re staying, Miss Hudson! We built this studio from the ground up together. How can we just leave you alone?”
Mindy nodded and echoed her sentiment. “Exactly! And honestly, where else can we find a boss as amazing as you?”
Their words made Sadie feel all warm and fuzzy. She smiled at them, her eyes misting slightly. “Thank you. We will definitely succeed with this project.”
Unexpectedly, Nanette leaned closer, her eyes twinkling with curiosity. “Miss Hudson… The car that dropped you off this morning was a top-of-the-line Maybach. Very impressive!”
Sadie froze for a second as the memory of the butler arranging her ride that morning flashed in her mind.
She shrugged off Nanette’s comment, saying, “Oh, it’s my friend’s car.” But Nanette gave her a knowing look, her lips curling into a mischievous smile.
Thankfully, Nanette didn’t press the issue any further.noveldrama
Sadie sighed to herself. She had wanted to drive herself that morning, in her own car, but the butler insisted it was safer to have a driver give her a ride. He had arranged for one of Noah’s cars to take Averi to the kindergarten before dropping Sadie off at the studio.
Sadie knew the real deal, though—the butler, and likely the entire staff at the villa, was simply taking precautions to keep her from running off.
“All right, then. Let’s get back to work.”
Sadie gathered her bearings and went back to her office. The studio was silent apart from the sound of clacking keys as her employees typed nonstop on their keyboards.
Sadie picked up the draft she had set aside. The Starlight Gala was just around the corner.
As the night deepened, Myrtlewood Estate was brightly lit.
Sadie entered Averi’s room and found him sound asleep under the covers.
“Mommy…” the boy mumbled, his tiny hand reaching out and clutching hers. Sadie smiled and leaned in to press a kiss on his forehead. “Sweetheart, it’s time for dinner. You need to wake up and come downstairs.”
She waited until Averi got out of bed before padding out of the room.
Averi could already dress himself and come downstairs on his own.
As Sadie reached the staircase, she heard a group of servants whispering amongst themselves below.
