It'll Come Naturally

"Nice to meet you, I am Huey." "Nice to meet you, I am Joyce."

The two greeted Janice obediently. The girl was lovely and had an easy smile, while the boy played it cool, and reserved.

"Nice to meet you too. Welcome to S City. Let's get started! I'll take you and mommy to the apartment now, okay?" Brand promotion of Doyce Jewelry was a project the YG Group recently set its hand to. Duke entrusted Janice to run this project, as she was highly capable and he had faith that she would handle it well. She seldom bothered Duke, unless she needed him to secure a celebrity to cut promo. His connections to the FX Group made this process easier, if he dealt with this side of the project.

The two children, especially Joyce, kept asking various questions along the way as they left the airport terminal. Everything was so new to them.

YS arranged top class accommodation for Annie within a secure complex with a clean and natural environment. Although it occupied only about a hundred square meters' space, it was exceptionally neat and offered enough space for their needs. "So, how do you like it? Is it okay?" It was a bit airless, with all the windows closed firmly, so, when they entered the apartment, Janice opened a window to let fresh air in. Despite the air being a bit chilly, it livened up the room and it soon felt better.

"Yeah. It's very nice. Thank you!" Annie was very satisfied with the residence. It was quiet and she knew that she would be able to relax here after a busy day's work.

"We have provided a car for you. It's the one that I drove us in from the airport. Please feel free to use it as you like." Janice handed the key to Annie. Duke was always generous to his business partners.

"Oh, that's so kind of you. But actually I can just grab a taxi when I need to get somewhere." Annie had never anticipated that the YS Group would think so highly of her, to spoil her with such luxury treatment, and she felt extremely flattered.

"We might need to have a meeting at a moment's notice, and taxis are not always on hand. To avoid wasting time, please use the car." As a professional assistant, Janice had a quick mind. She always considered situations in the scope of her company's interests. She always put the company first, which was another reason Duke thought highly of her.

"Ok. I'll use it for a while then. But you know, with the kids: I am wondering if you could recommend a suitable nanny? I'll need someone who is trained at taking care of children." Annie had not brought her nanny with. So, she now had to find one to supervise the two. Otherwise, she would not have enough energy to look after them and work.

"Oh, I'm afraid I'll need some time to arrange that, unfortunately you didn't mention it earlier. I'll get on it right away. Don't worry." Janice had no experience at selecting a nanny. So she would defer to Duke.

"Thank you so much. I'm not familiar with the au-pair agencies here." Annie smiled apologetically. Her main concern was that an unskilled nanny would cause trouble or place her kids in danger.

"No problem. I'll find someone suitable. You should get some rest and familiarize yourself with the area. We'll get started on the project the day after tomorrow. Does that suit you?" Janice proposed that Annie use some time to get settled. The Leng Group cared more for its employees and partners than other companies.

"That's perfect. Thank you for being so thoughtful." Annie had thought that she would get started on the project as soon as she arrived. It was kind of the company to leave enough time for her to get used to the city.

"That's great. Here are my contact details. Please, feel free to call me if you need anything." Janice passed her business card to Annie. She had taken an instant liking to Annie, as Annie had an innate kindness which most designers didn't normally possess.

Annie reached out and took the card respectfully. Her heart jumped when she noticed the contents of the card. It read 'Special Assistant of Leng Group'.

"Leng Group? Aren't you from the YS Group?" Annie asked, frowning. She wanted to keep herself as far away from Rain and anything or anyone related to him, as possible.

"Oh, sorry I didn't clarify it earlier. The Leng and YS Groups are actually a conglomerate of companies. The YS Group's president, Belinda Shangguan, is Mr. Leng's wife. She handed over the running of YS to Mr. Leng when she became pregnant. So basically, Mr. Leng is taking care of the YS Group's business now. Mrs. Leng, assists now and again, but she doesn't get too involved in the business." Janice had not planned to explain it to her. But she decided to elucidate matters to avoid confusion now that Annie had asked. "Oh, I got it." Annie was a bit confused, and slowly began to recall Belinda. Her memory barely recollected Belinda from the party since she had been so enthralled by Rain at the time, that she had barely noticed anyone else there.

"Is there any other questions that I might clear up for you?" Janice was unaware of Annie's past connection to Rain, so she had no idea why Annie had suddenly paled and become concerned.

"Oh. No, thank you. You have been very helpful." Had Annie known about the relationship between Duke and the YS Group, she would have reconsidered this business alliance carefully, instead of returning to S City and her past. "Great. I'm afraid I have to go now. Hey, Huey, Joyce, it was lovely meeting you. See you soon!" Janice was due to make a progress report to Duke before getting off from work. She needed to return to the office to complete it for presentation. "Bye-bye!"

"Bye-bye!"

The two kids chorused politely from where they had been playing with each other.

"I'll see you out," Annie followed Janice to the door and offered politely.

"Oh, it's okay. I know the way out. Actually, I live nearby, so, you are welcome to call me - even if it's not for work stuff," Janice declined with a smile. Annie was the guest, and it was not protocol for her to walk Janice out.

"Okay, I'll see you the day after tomorrow then." Annie waved her hand by way of farewell. Alone now, she surveyed the accommodations. If everything went smoothly, this would be their home for at least two months. Hopefully, there would not be any unforeseen incidents.0000NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
