Chapter 189 Eye Candy
When Atlas dropped me off at the company’s entrance, he gave me some reminders,
which I noted down.
I couldn’t help but say, “Call me when you have time.”
He nibbled on my lip and said, “You’re improving by asking for things now.”
I blushed and turned to get out of the car, but he pulled me back and kissed me
passionately before letting me go. Nonetheless, I looked forward to working with Grayson
today. When I entered my office, I
called Carol and asked, “Has Grayson arrived?”
Carol’s eyes sparkled. “Yes, he has! Ms. Chloe, let’s use this standard when hiring new
employees. He’s
such eye candy!”
I snorted in response. “Are you infatuated with Grayson too?”
She stuck her tongue out and chuckled. Good looks seemed to have a certain charm, and

the handsome ones, too. It’s a chain reaction.”
I sighed but didn’t deny it. “You’re right. All right, bring Grayson in so I can grill him first.”
Carol left my office with a grin, and Grayson soon walked in. Although strikingly
handsome, his type of
handsomeness differed from Atlas’s. Grayson wasn’t cunning, authoritative, or had old–

him.
Instead, he resembled a ray of sunshine that could brighten the gloomiest days.
I was thrilled after our conversation. Grayson was an invaluable tech expert, like Ivanna’s
two assistants. I
was ecstatic, even if he couldn’t handle the business side of things.
Ryan was also quite pleased when I handed Grayson over to him.
When I returned home that evening, my mother told me they had received a call from our
hometown.
They said the heaters were about to be turned on, requiring someone to be home. My

Since they were in a dilemma, I said, “Why don’t you two head back together? If you want
to move here, just rent that house to someone and come here once you’ve settled

However, my mom couldn’t bear to leave her house behind. My words were in vain, but I

Besides, I had grown accustomed to living with my parents over the past two months.
With such a large house here, it felt somewhat empty with just Ava and me. Meanwhile,
my dad worried that the scoundrel might harass me again.
“That won’t happen, so don’t worry,” I reassured them, “Besides, I have a few friends who

During this time, things had been relatively calm because of Maddox. Also, Matthew didn’t
cause any
more trouble for me.
My parents contemplated returning to our hometown for a few days. However, they could
only return because of the heating system. Initially, they wanted to take Ava with them,
but I feared she wouldn’t adapt well to the colder climate.
I felt a sense of emptiness as I saw my parents off. They had treated me like a princess
when they were here. My mom cared for everything, and I didn’t have to worry about

Things would be different without my parents, and I had to return to my old routine.
Soon after, Ivanna reminded me to transfer Ava to Sunnydale Kindergarten. Since it was
closer to our home, it would be more convenient for me to pick Ava up and drop her off.
Plus, Ivanna could help if
there were any emergencies.
I should have done it a long time ago, but I had been preoccupied and kept postponing it
until now. As fate would have it, the story had an unexpected twist again.
