Chapter 411
Speaking of this, Renee hesitated for a moment, then shook her head. “I don’t think Ms. Lane needs a lot of care from us. It’s just that she’s very competitive, so she can be very stubborn most of the time.”
“Then why do you still trust her?”
Renee met Matthew’s gaze, thought for a moment, and replied, “Because she’s the young lady and I’m her subordinate, so it’s my job to support and trust her decision unconditionally. It’s just that simple.”
Matthew remained silent for a moment, “Perhaps really don’t know her as well as you
do.”
“It’s because we have different perspectives, Mr. Lane. You’re the young lady’s elder brother, while I’m her subordinate. We’re totally different identity-wise.” After saying so, Renee stopped talking and lowered her head. “There are still some tasks that I have to attend to. I shall take my leave. now.”
“Alright.”
After Renee left, Matthew sighed and looked at the photo of him and Hesper on the desk– After a while, he stretched out his hand and stroked Hesper’s face in the photo.
“You little liar.”
Hesper sneezed.
“Mommy, did you catch a cold? Are you feeling unwell?”
Renfrew looked at Hesper worriedly on the phone screen, and Hesper rubbed the tip of her nose.
‘It’s probably because of the large temperature difference between day and night recently and how I’m going out to watch fashion exhibitions all the time. That must be why I’ve caught a cold.”
“It’s nothing serious, I’ll remember to take medicine.”
Ever since Myriade left, Hesper felt that Renfrew had become a lot more taciturn. Hence, she felt a lot more at ease when she heard him rambling on about recent events and sharing them with
her.
“Mommy, you must work as hard as I do so that you can pick me up and take me away.”
Having said that, Renfrew paused for a split second, then moved close to the screen with teary eyes. “I really want to go home with you.”
Looking at Renfrew’s appearance, Hesper’s heart melted. She nodded and made a promise to her precious son. “Yes, I’ll definitely work hard, and I’ll surely bring you home… So, please wait for Mommy, okay?”
“Okay.”
Hesper hung up the call, feeling a little more relaxed after all the tension that 013 had brought into her life these days. She then went to the bathroom to wash her face, returned to the room, and continued to finish the draft that she was working on previously.
