Donald's pov
After breakfast, the plane had landed at the city's civilian airport.
"Thank you, Mr. Donald, for your hospitality, see you later, and I hope we never meet again in this life." Trista unceremoniously exited the plane, grabbed a cab, and drove away.
I watched her disappear again, and my eyes darkened.
"Young master, are we going home?" asked Ira gently.
"Back to the office." Ira added conversationally, "Do you want to check his identity?"
Ira's pov
The young master's gaze swept over coldly, as if accusing me of being nosy.
I cringed and was about to say that I was nosy, but to my surprise the young gentleman said,
"Ira, I think you are getting to know me better and better.
Seeing the young gentleman put on a wry smile, I cringed, not knowing whether to be grateful or concerned.
The young master had never treated a woman like that before, only to send her back, and when we passed our own villa neighborhood on the way, he did not stop either, but flew all the way to the only civilian airport to let her take a cab.... The young master would not really be trapped in love, will he? I do not think so.... "I'll check it out right away!" I bowed my head and took the orders.
Trista's pov
When I got into the car, I immediately called out an address to the driver,
"The Moon Group, please." The cab driver was a little surprised when he heard the name and asked, "You mean the Moon Group on Spring Street?"
"Yes, is there a problem?" The cabbie opened his mouth and said nothing - he put the cab in gear, stepped on the gas, and drove toward his destination.
I breathe in the air outside the window: I am finally back! The wind blew in my face, the smell was so familiar.
I took a few breaths of fresh air and suddenly remembered that I had not texted my parents yet, so I'll just show up later and surprise them!
Today was Emo's birthday and the gift I had worked so hard for was nowhere to be found after jumping off the cruise ship.
I took out my cell phone and dialed the number of a pastry store,
"Do you have any ready-made cakes now?"
"Miss Trista, is that you?" The receptionist's voice was surprised.
"Yes, I am back at home. I would like to order the biggest cake, can you make it today?" "Are you ordering for Mr. Emos?"
The Swift family always ordered cakes for Emos this time of year, and the whole bakery knew about it, so it was no surprise.
The receptionist reminded, "
The cake Miss Ashley ordered has already been delivered, would you like to order another?" "She ordered?" I did not expect Ashley to be so thoughtful, this half-sister usually thinks of me in every way, even for something as small as ordering a cake in person, when I thought of it I smiled in relief,
"Not then, thank you."
Do not be embarrassed to show up empty handed, after all we are all family now. With that in mind, I raised my eyes and my gaze fell on the view out the window, the closer I got to my own group, the better the surroundings were.
You should know that the family group is one of the largest companies, with a large area and a magnificent aura. Just when I was dazed, the cab slowly stopped,
"Miss, here we are." Star Group is the name of the company. I looked around half-heartedly, this is actually the Swift family territory, ah, except for the name, the whole construction is the same as before.
But the name.... Before I knew it, two employees with work permits rushed past me.... "Did not Mr. Leonard say yesterday? He's not here today, so we need to follow this project closely."
"Mr. Leonard is very experienced, and under his leadership, profits have really soared in the last three years." I hastily interrupted,
"Wait, is this Mr. Leonard you are talking about Leonard Swift?" "Yes." I laughed a little awkwardly,
"Never mind, excuse me." The two clerks gave me a strange look and hurried away. It turned out that the name of my own group had changed, and the doubts and fears that had just risen in me were dropped at that moment.
I step through the front door of the group.... "Hello, who are you looking for?" When the receptionist saw someone coming, she immediately stood up respectfully and greeted him with a sweet smile.
"Hello, my name is Trista, I am the daughter of Leonard, the future CEO of this group. Please let me know that I have returned and now need to go upstairs."
No sooner had my words been spoken than the girl burst out laughing, and the earlier deference had disappeared and been replaced by contempt -.
"Miss, have you come to the wrong place? The corporate head with the last name Swift, this is our Mr. Leonard, you say you are his daughter? Here, Mr. Leonard's daughter is also the only one, this is our Miss Ashley Chairman, you do not even ask for the picture before you lie?"
I was confused, Ashley has become the chairman of the board? What had happened?
Three years ago, my grandfather died, the lawyer announced the will, which clearly states that the Moon Group with 80% of the equity and the Swift family with tens of billions of assets shall be distributed by my father Leonard and me in a fair competition, whoever meets the inheritance conditions first will be entitled to inherit. In the absence of a will, my father and I are the executive chairman of the group and jointly handle the affairs of the group.
Ashley is not mentioned in the will, is it one of Ashley's affairs? I smiled and asked,
"Is there a mistake? I am telling the truth, the Ashley you are talking about is my sister."
"Is that so? I have worked here for three years and I have never heard of Miss Ashley having a sister."
The receptionist smiled decently, but with contempt in her eyes. I persisted, "Leonard is my father, so if I am a liar, how do I know his name?" The corners of the receptionist's mouth twitched,
"There are too many people who know Mr. Leonard's name, although I do not know where you got the information that Mr. Leonard is not here today, so you came here to pretend to be his daughter, but let me give you some advice, cheating is not a good business.... ",
she advised in the tone of an elderly lady.
I cried and laughed, "You really got it wrong, I am his daughter."
