Chapter 173 - A Note

It rained yesterday, so the three old men did not come. There was no rain today. After lunch, the three of them came to the studio early.

As soon as they entered, they saw the picture of the woman in the red dress in the center and couldn't help but admire, "It's the first time I've seen someone paint a figure picture intentionally without painting the face, but it's more stunning than painting the face..."

"That's right. As soon as I came in, I was shocked by the red color. Taking a closer look, I find it absolutely amazing."

"Emily's pictures are mediocre. This is the first time she draws like this..."

"What do you mean?"

"She found something she was good at."

"That's right. I didn't see her drawing figures and thought she wasn't good at it. I didn't expect she was good at it. But why doesn't she draw the face of the figure? Is it because she doesn't know how to draw it or is it because she intentionally leaving it blank for attention?"

The three old men kept commenting on the painting, but Emily was half asleep at the moment. Rolando laughed when he saw her fall to the dining table. He said, "I've never seen a child fall asleep while eating in my life. This is the first time I've seen an adult fall asleep when eating. What happened? Vincent last night..."

After Rolando finished speaking, he remembered that yesterday was the anniversary of Fiona's death. He immediately guessed that Vincent probably didn't sleep well all night. He suddenly stopped smiling and his face was instantly filled with melancholy and sorrow.

Emily understood the reason why he was sad and whispered, "Mr. Rolando, I'm full."

Rolando nodded and said to her, "Emily, I haven't known you for long, but I know that the girl my grandson likes must be the best. I hope that no matter what happens in the future, you must remember to protect yourself. Don't let my grandson down."

Emily looked at Rolando's serious face and nodded, "Alright. I won't let him down."

Although Rolando's words revealed some hidden information, Emily did not ask any further, nor did she mention it to guards. She packed the food for Vincent and put a note in the lunch box before going upstairs.

...

In the President's Office.

Rex handed the tablet computer to Vincent and said, "Mr. Vincent, this is the new advertising plan. Please take a look."

Arabella acted as she said. She asked people to go there to take a group of videos of children crying, and put it in the end of the advertisement. After Vincent finished watching, he put it aside.

Rex asked, "Mr. Vincent, Miss Arabella is still waiting for your reply. This plan...?"

"She just joined the company, it's normal that she wants to do something. Let the design department and the marketing department give her some references, and give this video and the one given by the advertising department a few days ago to her, and let them have a meeting to decide."

"I see."

A knock came from outside the door.

Rex walked over to open the door and saw Irene standing outside. She was dressed in bright red, carrying two large bags. She waved her hand at Rex and said, "Help me bring it in."

Rex didn't move, just looked back at Vincent.

Vincent raised his head and glanced at Irene, saying, "Thank you. Rex, take it."

Rex stretched out his hand to take two large bags and put them on the black jade table. They were filled with the special snacks of the major hotels, all of which were quite famous dishes.

"I'll leave after you finish it." As Irene spoke, she walked in. When she walked to the sofa, she asked, "Can I come in and take a look?"

"You are already in." Vincent looked at her indifferently.

Irene didn't care about his cold attitude. In her eyes, Vincent treated everyone coldly. When he faced her father, Vincent also pulled a long face. However, she and her father did not care. Others flattered them and wanted to cooperate with the Potters. Her father did not consider it at all. Vincent always came to her home with a cold face. They knew that he came to the Potter's to cooperate, but those who did not knew thought that he came to kill and vent his anger.

Irene sat on the sofa and asked, "Aren't you coming to eat? It's getting cold soon."

Vincent did not respond and focused on the data on the computer.

Irene didn't feel sad when she was ignored. She just sat with her fingers interlocked under her chin to watch Vincent work. Then she said to Rex, "You're so lucky. You're able to stay with Vincent for so long."

Rex didn't know what to say.

"Don't you think Vincent is very handsome? I don't feel tired of watching him for a day." After Irene finished saying, she found a pillow behind her and hugged it in her arms. Then she asked, "Well, can I sit here all afternoon?"

...

There was a knock on the door. Then the door was opened from the outside. A guard came in with the lunch box in his hand.

Seeing Irene sitting on the sofa, the guard's expression did not change. After putting down the lunch box, he turned around and left. However, Vincent, who had always been calm, stood up at this moment.

As Rex opened the lunch box, Vincent walked over. A note was lying in the lunch box. Rex quickly took the note and handed it to Vincent, "Mr. Vincent."

Sitting so close, Irene saw it as well. However, she didn't expect that Vincent would laugh after reading the note.

Irene stood up in surprise. She walked over to see what was written on the note, but was blocked by Rex.

"Miss Irene, you could leave now. Mr. Vincent doesn't like to be disturbed when having lunch."

Irene was still in shock. She asked curiously, "Vincent, who wrote you a note? What did it say? Why are you laughing so happily?"

Rex answered, "It was written by Mr. Trevor."

Irene did not know the Britts because in her eyes, the Britts was a small family. However, she knew the Peckers well. After all, the Peckers was an influential family. She knew a little about Trevor who had suffered from autism when he was just a few years old and had been locked up in the garret. She knew that Vincent had taken good care of Trevor over the years.

Hearing Rex's explanation, Irene was relaxed. She smiled and said to Vincent, "Alright. I'll leave now. I have something to do tomorrow, so I can only come to see you in a few days."

However, Vincent did not care what she said. Instead, he sat on the sofa with a smile. He took out his chopsticks and began to eat the dish closest to him.

These dishes were all personally packed by Emily, even the rice was personally served by her. Therefore, Vincent would always eat them up. Moreover, Rex also discovered something. Ever since the little Hulk took over Vincent's three meals, Vincent would always sit on the sofa and wait for food whenever guards delivered the lunch box. It was not the same as before. In the past, Vincent was busy until his stomach hurt before he remembered to eat the cold food.

Seeing that Vincent was eating heartily, Rex moved closer to him quietly and looked at the note that was spread flat on the coffee table. He only saw a line of words written on it.

"When she smiled, she was an extremely charming female."

Rex was speechless.
