Hayden took his time to clarify, "She's the child of a former soldier from the unit and was born unable to speak. She used to prepare meals for the soldiers, but she left the unit for some reason. So, I asked her to cook for us at home."
Violeta acknowledged, "Oh, I got it."
Hayden inquired, "Are you not fond of her? If that's the case, I can make other arrangements for her."
Violeta responded, "It's not that I have a problem with it. I just needed more information about having another person here. I don't mind it."
Hayden assured her, "I'm glad to hear that. You can be sure she's reliable at home."
"Really?" Violeta asked curiously.
"Yes. Hilary was raised in the military from a young age. She has excellent observational skills and is very dependable."
Even though Liberty Grove's security system was now quite thorough and regular patrols were conducted at the entrance, Violeta had been seen there before.
It was widely known that she lived there.
Given Hayden's special status now, he needed to have some reliable individuals around him for extra security, just to be safe.
If she was spotted again or if anything unusual happened, Hilary would be able to handle the situation.
Violeta nodded, acknowledging Hayden's explanation.
He was quite considerate.
Being a celebrity, Violeta was accustomed to being photographed.
However, now that she was back in Quinston, it was wise to be careful to avoid causing any issues for Hayden.
The following day, Violeta returned to the company after a two-year absence.
Eugene was waiting for her in the lounge.
When the paparazzi who often hung around outside the Apex Entertainment building saw Violeta arrive, they quickly pulled out their cameras to take photos.
Violeta walked into the lounge and called out, "Mr. Scott."
Eugene was occupied with planning the schedule for the coming year.
"Here you go, Beauty. These are the plans we have for the next year. Please review them."
Violeta was aware that joining the team meant a heavy workload, but she hadn't anticipated it being this extensive. As she skimmed through the list, she realized that the upcoming year would be packed with filming.
