The phone let out a soft beep, and the beautiful girl on the screen disappeared.
Gavin frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flickering across his face. She ended the call without letting him say anything. But as he replayed her soft words about waiting for him, the irritation quickly faded.
When his assistant walked in, the first thing he noticed was Gavin staring at his phone, an unreadable smile tugging at the corner of his lips.

Phew! It must have been his imagination. Gavin still wore his usual cold and impassive expression.
"Mr. Cooper, these are the proposals submitted by the planning department," the assistant said as he placed the documents on Gavin's desk.
"Mm," Gavin acknowledged, immediately opening the files to review them.
"Mr. Cooper, I've also finalized your schedule for the next week," the assistant continued, laying out a detailed timetable in front of him. "Per your instructions, I've cleared as much tas possible, focusing the important matters over the next two days and deferring less urgent tasks until your return." Gavin glanced at the schedule and gave a brief nod. "You've done well." His schedule had been carefully packed into the mornings, which worked out perfectly. By the tshe woke up, he'd already be finished with work.
Just then, the office door swung open abruptly.
Both Gavin and the assistant turned to see Wilfried stepping inside.
"Mr. Chairman," the assistant immediately greeted with respect.
Wilfried waved his hand, signaling the assistant to leave the office.
Gavin set his pen down. "Dad, what brings you here?" Wilfried made himself comfortable on the sofa, tossing a stack of photos onto the coffee table. "You've been quiet lately, which tellsthe girl isn't interested in you. Since that's the case, take a look at these. If anyone catches your eye, letknow, and I'll arrange for you to meet her family." Hearing this, Gavin's brow furrowed. "Dad, who said she doesn't like me?" Wilfried let out a dry laugh. "If she liked you, would you still be single?" "We're already together," Gavin replied flatly.

When the tis right, I'll bring her to meet you." Wilfried eyed him skeptically, but after a moment, he nodded. "Fine, I'll wait for you to bring my future daughter-in-law home." With that, he stood and left the office.
Gavin's expression didn't change as he returned to his work.
Jolie hung up the phone, her mood soaring. She quickly began packing her things, then paused: Since he'd gone out of his way to help her, she figured she should do something in return. Why not pick him up from work?
