Evelyn Clayton’s smile froze a bit.
But soon, she lowered her gaze and regained her usual calmness.
"Just called home," Evelyn asked unrelatedly, "talked to Sharon, she misses you all. When are you and Iris going to visit?"
Yara Reagan instinctively choked up for a moment but still followed Evelyn’s words, "Very soon. We were supposed to leave tomorrow, but with this situation now, I’m afraid James Grant will have someone track us."
Evelyn let out a soft laugh.
"I told you, he would find out sooner or later. It’s no big deal," Evelyn remained calm, "You should leave as planned, don’t make Sharon wait too long. I’ll return in a few days too, no worries."
Upon hearing Evelyn’s words, Yara didn’t say much further and only advised her to be careful in Paris.
After hanging up, Yara shrugged at Iris Lockwood who was looking at her expectantly, "Evelyn’s calmer than both of us."
"What?" Iris was even more puzzled, "Are we still leaving tomorrow?" Thɪs chapter is updated by novel⚑fire.net
"We’ll go as usual." Yara glanced at the clock, "Not much work can be done at the company today, have Rhys Jacobs bring the signed documents for the medicine tonight, and have him come over for dinner as well."
Iris responded with an "oh", "Perhaps we can invite Nadia Archer too? More people make it livelier."
After a pause, Iris murmured quietly, "I know you don’t want to spend too long with Franklin Ford..."
After saying this, Iris cautiously checked Yara’s expression.
Yara’s almond-shaped eyes were calm, and she smiled upon hearing this, "Well, thank you. Isn’t Nadia trying out a new drama recently? Does she have time?"
In recent years, Nadia’s development in the country has been closely linked with Gem’s rise, and now she’s capable of leading a major drama as the female lead, her capability stands out even compared to today’s popular stars.
Of course, Gem has gradually become a national brand due to Nadia’s popularity.
"Why wouldn’t she?" Iris took out her phone and began sending messages, chatting idly, "We’re about to shoot the spring-summer promotional video soon, but we’ll both be absent. Rhys will have to handle it alone, should we consider giving him a raise?"
Yara raised an eyebrow, her smile turning a bit mischievous, "Sure, after all, once he gets a raise, he’s still spending it on you. It all stays within the family."
Iris’s face immediately turned red, she glared at Yara, "Enough already!"
Saying that, she awkwardly lowered her head with a slight hum, "I haven’t agreed to him yet."
"Alright, alright, got it." Yara held back her laughter, "But don’t keep him waiting too long, or else if Rhys, such a straightforward guy, gets upset, I’ll be without a special assistant."
After Evelyn left Riversend, Gem’s affairs were entirely managed by Yara, and as Gem expanded, Rhys and Yara’s working model hadn’t changed much.
Rhys’s title outwardly was vice president, but in reality, he was still doing assistant work.
Only his salary has increased several times.
"Don’t talk about me," Iris gave her a sideways look, "Since Evelyn officially left Gem, hasn’t your relationship been tense with Franklin? If it weren’t for Franklin thinking of you and mediating, when you took shares from Violet’s hands initially, Violet would have turned against you."
Yara’s eyebrows moved slightly, indifferent, "Am I afraid of her turning against me now?"
"Honestly Yara, are you really not considering giving Franklin a chance?"
