In the Lin Villa
Austin leaned against the chair in his study. The chair creaked and turned back to the desk. He gently pressed his temples to reduce the fatigue of his body. As Dr. Sun lived in his house, and supervised him to take medicine on time, Austin's conditions were temporarily under control. He wasn't as tired as before.
As his private doctor, Dr. Sun had always been serious and enjoyed a good reputation. There is no room for carelessness in Austin's illness. So he made rules for Austin. He had to go home before 9 pm. Of course, when Dr. Sun was not at home, he called Mona and asked if Austin had come back.
To be honest, Austin had no choice but to go to the company himself. Because he had to deal with many important matters in person. Hence, he had to change his study to the work place.
Austin closed the file in blue and picked up the West Lake Longjing tea that Yolande made for him. He took a sip. The tea has some sweet in bitter. He was sure that Yolande added some white sugar in it. The man grinned, but only for a second, something unpleasant occurred to him, and he frowned.
It was getting dark, and the neons at the roadside lit up one after another. Austin gazed out of the window, lost in thought. Mona came to the study slowly and knocked at the door.
"Mona, what's up?"
Mona said as she pushed the door open. "Mr. Lin, it's getting dark. Why don't you turn on the light?" As she spoke, she fumbled in the darkness. She switched on the switch of the wall and turned on the looser of the ceiling.
He closed his eyes, and it took him several minutes to adjust to the sudden bright light. Mona walked to the door and was ready to go out. Then she remembered that why she came to the study.
"Young master, bring madam to have dinner. The dinner is ready." Mona added.
"I'm coming." He added.
Mona then closed the study door and left.
'I have a lot of work to deal with in the company. I am under too much pressure and hence get paranoid.' Austin comforted himself.
A few minutes later
"Come in."
The assistant pushed the door open and strode into the study. "Mr. Lin, I looked around the villa, but found nothing." Reported by his assistant.
"I see. You can leave now, but should be more careful. " Austin said to his assistant.
After his assistant left, he heaved a sigh of relief and felt a little relieved. Recently, he had been on pins and needles. He had a feeling that someone was wandering around his villa, but when he looked back, he didn't see the person. He was worried so he asked his assistant to go around the villa and check everything around it. Everything was all right. He breathed a sigh of relief.
After hesitating for a moment, he stood up and walked to the door of Yolande's room.
Bang! Bang! Bang
"It's time for dinner. Come out." The man's voice was very gentle.
"Don't bother me, I'm busy. " The woman sounded slightly annoyed and aggrieved. Austin withdrew his arm from the door, looking helpless and pitiful.
She was still the person he knew in college. She worked hard to keep her chin up no matter where she fell.
He remembered that when she was in college, Yolande didn't fully learn her relevant knowledge, but her teacher mentioned that in class.
After giving all her classmates a good lesson, the teacher was very strict with quick learner. Yolande, on the other hand, bowed her head in shame and rubbed the corner of her uniform back and forth.
Then, every time she encountered something that she was not familiar with, she punished herself not to eat, until she had mastered all the knowledge.
The finance director of this company was responsible for the financial calculation and expenditure of every project of the company, and the overburdened work was huge every day.
