You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 559

The bodyguards in the North Yard were well-trained and were quick to pack their things. Amy helped Helen pack up as they emptied the North Yard and loaded all the stuff into the trucks.

John and his friends were chatting. Once the place was empty, the construction team arrived and proceeded with the demolition. What was once the North Yard became scraps of debris and dust that littered the air.

As soon as the field was cleared, construction began imminently.

Adrian and Henry watched in regret while John praised Richard's efficiency.

John owned the mountain where the North Yard stood. He had asked people to raze the land for expansion. As a result, many trees were cut down, except for the banyan trees he planted for Nina.

When John was still on C island, he found the designer who was responsible for designing and building the Scher Mountain castle. Together, they had finished drawing the design.

He paid a lot of money to get this particular designer.

The construction of the castle was relentless, with no second wasted to rest. As Henry expected, it would take a lot of money and manpower to have the castle built. The workers were split into two groups, taking turns, but none of them had holidays off. John decided to pay them double.

Fortunately, the North Yard was far from the city so the construction didn't disturb any citizens.

John lived in his villa on the Stone Road. After a few days of rest, he went back to work with the Time Group. He declined to be interviewed by any media.

One afternoon, John was going through the contracts. A gentle smile appeared on his face. His hand holding the pen didn't move for a while.

Amy became his assistant, and Richard was only responsible for his safety. He was a full-time bodyguard and stood outside the office every day like a tall and firm poplar tree.

"Mr. Shi." When Amy came in and saw John's relaxed expression, she knew that Nina must have had something to do it.

'He's probably looking at Mrs. Shi's photos or thinking about her, ' she speculated.

But in reality, it was a video call. That was why John didn't have time to deal with the stack of paper works.

As Nina heard the familiar voice, she asked in a hurry, "Amy? Is it Amy?"

John raised his head and glanced at Amy. As soon as he nodded, Nina requested through his earphones, "Can I have a few words with Amy?"

John was reluctant. 'She doesn't have enough time to chat with me, more so waste time on irrelevant people.'

But when he saw Nina's pleading eyes, he yielded.

"Come here, Amy."

"Yes, sir." Amy walked over and stopped a few steps away from his desk. "Mr. Shi, the time you'll meet with Mr. Shen has been fixed."

"Someone wants to talk to you," John said to her as he took off his earphones and switched to hands-free.

Amy was shocked by what John said. As the confusion still enshrouded her, she heard a familiar voice calling her name.

"Amy, come to John's side. It's me."

"Mrs. Shi?" Amy stammered.

"It's me. Come over here and let me see how you and Lena are doing." Nina had been thinking about them.

Amy's eyes lit up. She couldn't wait to talk with Nina. However, when she saw John look at her, a gust of cold wind knocked her spirits down.

She could tell John was probably jealous.

In the past, she would've retreated without saying a word. However, now she had enough courage to say hello to Nina. She miss her very much.

Amy walked over and stood behind John. She kept her distance from him, but she was close enough to see Nina's beautiful face on the computer screen.

"Good afternoon, Mrs. Shi."

The corners of Amy's mouth couldn't help but curl up. When Nina saw her, she smiled with glee.

"It's night time here, but still, good afternoon, Amy."

"Good evening, Mrs. Shi." Amy was flustered and at a loss for words, yet she was still very excited to speak with her.

"How are you and Lena?" Nina asked with concern as she took a sip of water.
