Elisa turned to look at her, “What’s the matter?”
“The Tabor family!” Rachel blurted and then continued swiping through her phone. Her attention was
wholly on the phone before her.
Elisa was curious. The Tabor family?
She suddenly thought about the time she attended a dinner at Southdale with Gareth. They had
bumped into Nicole and even exchanged pleasantries. Nicole was a calculative person, but she held
herself as a noble would. Although she gave off an air that made it hard for people to approach her,
they didn’t hate her. Of course, that was the impression Nicole gave her that day.
Rachel once again exclaimed after reading another Tweet, “Oh my gosh! They’ve given an official
statement!!” She then walked over and passed the phone to Elisa. “Look! The Tabor family is moving
here!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtElisa was doubtful, “Why would they suddenly move here? Weren’t they doing well over there?”
“They will keep the company in Southdale as a branch, and the branch company in Bayswe will
become the main headquarters. Most of their shareholders and executives will be coming over. Why
would they do something like this? Why would they suddenly change their main headquarters? This
isn’t their demographic.” Rachel questioned.
“Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. What’s more, they are not camels; they’re dragons.”
Elisa passed the phone back to Rachel and went back to arranging things for dinner.
“There’s more than one dragon here. Can they really get a piece of the action here? They were ruling
over Southdale, but here…”
“This has nothing to do with us. Let’s not bother with it. Come, let’s finish with the preparations.”
…
Elisa’s doorbell chimed at five forty-five. Rachel saw Sean through the CCTV and shouted in surprise,
“He’s here! Mr. Jordan is here, Elisa!”
“Well, open the door,” Elisa said as the tips of her mouth lifted up.
“Right.” She pressed the button twice and said with anticipation, “Oh my goodness! I can’t believe I’m
finally going to meet Mr. Jordan! Not only is he not late, but he came fifteen minutes early.”
“Since you like him so much, you should know that he is an early bird.” Elisa said with a smile.
Rachel giggled, “I forgot.”
The two of them waited by the door. Rachel was peeking through the peephole and immediately
opened the door when she saw the elevator door open and Sean walking out.
Sean was startled by the two girls waiting for him by the door. He was holding a fruit basket.
He turned to Elisa and said, “What are you doing waiting for me out here? You’re injured.”
“I’m much better. Come in and sit.” Elisa beamed.
Sean nodded and passed the fruit basket to Rachel.

“Thank you, Uncle Sean.” Elisa said appreciatively.
Sean nodded and then raised an eyebrow at Rachel, standing timidly to the side. “I’m only a little over
fifty. Must you call me sir?”
The color faded from Rachel’s face as she hurriedly tried to explain herself, “Of course not! It was my
mistake. I was just trying to be polite!”
She wasn’t the first to call him sir.
“Uncle Sean, let’s have dinner. This is my best friend. She’s been looking after me this whole time.”
Sean nodded and addressed Rachel, “You can call me Uncle, just like this little brat here.”
“Uncle!” Rachel was flabbergasted.
Sean once again nodded and changed into household slippers. He washed his hands, and the three of
them sat at the dinner table.
