Chapter 734Chapter 734
"Ricky, when we do think we can officially acknowledge the triplets as our grandchildren?"
Alice took a bite of her food and said dully while chewing it.
Ricky was not thinking about anything like that. He took a piece of chicken and put it into his bowl before he comforted Alice. 'Calm down. It's
going to happen in just a matter of time. Didn't Sean tell US to give him some time? You should just sit back and wait patiently.”
Alice sighed sorrowfully. "Guess that's my only choice, then.”
The butler walked briskly toward them after Alice said that. "Mr. and Mrs. Anderson, Ms. Herring is here," he spoke softly.
"Ms. Herring?" Alice was not expecting Joelle to be there at all.
'Mrs. Anderson, it's me."
A soft voice spread across the room. Joelle was wearing a light green sweater and a pair of white
knitted trousers as she walked into the house gracefully.
Alice looked over and smiled gently, "Joelle, it's you! What brings you here? Have you had dinner?
Come and eat something if you haven't."
"It's okay, Mrs. Anderson. I've eaten already."
Joelle smiled courteously and said, "I came here today because I have something about work to talk
about with you and Mr. Anderson. I didn't mean to interrupt your dinner. Please take your time to finish
your meal. I'll just sit on the sofa and wait."
Joelle turned around and sat on the sofa while she said thatAlice saw how polite she was and went on with her dinner. After she was done, she sat opposite Joelle
and started talking with her.
"Joelle, it's nice to see you again. What's on your mind? Just tell me."
Alice poured a cup of tea for Joelle personally while saying that.
"Thank you, Mrs. Anderson."
Joelle took the cup from Alice and took a sip. Then, she said while trying to get some information out of
Alice according to her plan, "Mrs. Anderson, I had a long discussion with my grandpa at home today.
We both agreed that even though I can learn a lot of things and have tremendous growth by working as
Sean's secretary at Anderson Corporation, I'll eventually have to go back and manage my family's
business.
"So, I'm thinking about resigning as Sean's secretary, so I can start taking over my family's business.
That way, I can help make my grandpa's work easier."
She paused and smiled awkwardly. "Of course, Sean taught me a lot of things these days, and I'm
more than happy to work with him. However, he has Ms. May now. I'm afraid that Ms. May would mind
that Sean has a woman as his secretary, so..."
Joelle bowed her head down after she said that.
Tm sure that Mrs. Anderson will say something to stop me from quitting if she still wants me to get closer to Sean.' She figured to herself
inwardly.
After all, Alice was pretty fond of her back then.However, things took an unexpected turn for Joelle as Ricky agreed with what she said without even hesitating. "Sure. That's a good thing
too if you have the thoughts of taking over your family's business."
"Yeah. Joelle, the fact that Sean made you sick previously is still bothering me. I just feel like I owe you for that! And, I took some time to
think about it. Sean is really too busy with his work, and he has no time to look after you. So, it's better for you to go home and help your
grandpa with his business."
Alice found a chance and chimed in. She looked gentle and sounded very calm. She genuinely wanted the best for Joelle.
Sean had already got together with Molly.
So, there was no reason for Alice to keep Joelle around her son. It would be best for her to leave as soon as possible.
■Joelle's a classy and polite girl. I'm sure that she can find someone that suits her better.' Alice thought to herself.
