Chapter 339
Sliding into the seat, Kyla tugged at her collar, irritation simmering beneath her skin. “Drive.”
The vehicle eased onto the road, leaving the estate behind.
“Keep a close watch on Sadie and her child. I want to know their every move.”
“Understood, Miss Wade,” the driver replied quietly.
Kyla shut her eyes. She would not allow them to ruin everything she had built!
One day, Sadie quietly got out of bed and changed into a simple beige outfit.
The shock of Averi’s recent disappearance had kept her on edge for the past few days. She insisted on taking him to and from kindergarten herself, every single day.
“Mom, we have crafts class today at kindergarten. I’m going to make a toy car to give to Mr. Wall!” Averi was seated at the table, his short legs dangling over his chair as he spoke with excitement. His plump little face was beaming as he poked at the bowl of food in front of him with his spoon.
Sadie smiled and reached out to wipe some stains from the corner of his mouth. “All right. I’ll get to see your masterpiece when I pick you up this afternoon.”
After dropping Averi off at kindergarten, Sadie drove to the studio.
The atmosphere at the studio was still rather depressing, as most of the employees had left for Wall Group.
“Miss Hudson, the Starlight Gala has been postponed,” Nanette said as she knocked on the office door and entered with a piece of paper in hand. “It’s now scheduled for next month.”
Sadie, in the middle of revising a design, frowned and put the draft down. “Postponed? Did they say why?”
“Apparently, a big-shot guest will attend then. But the organizers haven’t revealed who it is yet.” Nanette placed the file on Sadie’s desk. “This is the updated schedule for the event.”
Sadie glanced at it before saying, “Got it. For now, just focus on the work at hand.”
She was preoccupied not only by the studio’s current operations but Averi’s safety as well. She didn’t have more attention to spare for the Starlight Gala.noveldrama
“Oh, and one more thing.” Nanette paused in her tracks to look back at Sadie. “Ms. Shaw has asked about the pieces for the Dewy Hibiscus series several times now. How about sending them over this afternoon?”
“Sure. You can take the pieces to Stonemont Estate yourself.” Sadie nodded, adding, “Be careful with Ms. Shaw’s order. Make sure there are no mistakes.”
“Understood, Miss Hudson,” Nanette replied before exiting the office.
Sadie leaned back in her chair and massaged her temples. She was tired. There had been so many events lately, and all the hustle and bustle was taking a toll on her.
When noon rolled around, Sadie headed to the hospital to visit Laura. Thankfully, the old lady’s condition was improving significantly.
“Sadie, you’ve been working too hard lately. You need to rest,” Laura chided as she took Sadie’s hand and squeezed it.
“I’m fine, Grandma,” Sadie said with a forced smile. “Don’t worry. I’m taking care of myself.”
Later on, as she was leaving the hospital, Sadie felt a heavy weight settle in her heart.
She buried herself in work as soon as she returned to the studio.
