The meeting was finally over. Some executives stayed behind and chatted. But most of the people started leaving, including Carla and Andrea.
Walking out of the Hua Group's building, Carla couldn't stop smiling. She felt so refreshed and happy.
She not only transferred her burdens to someone else but now she could also sit back and just wait for money to come to her. How great was that? She had none of the worries and didn't have to do any work. But money would still roll in. She was beyond thrilled even just thinking about it.
"Callie, you are in a good mood. What happened back there? What did you tell Noah? What made him suddenly change his mind? He was so adamant before," Andrea asked out of curiosity. She looked relieved, yet worried. Carla didn't promise him anything, did she?
During the general meeting of stockholders, Noah was planning to announce that he was going to cash his shares and withdraw them from the company. That would have been disastrous. But suddenly he changed his mind after Carla talked to him.
Andrea was dying to know what happened. Noah had been stubborn his whole life. Once he made up his mind, it couldn't be changed, no matter what. Yet, somehow, Carla managed to convince him otherwise. How did she do it?
"Mom, that's a secret between him and me. The only thing you should know is that you have a reliable son right now. You don't have to worry about other things," Carla replied with a mysterious smile on her face.
"All right then. Go ahead and keep your mom in suspense. Look at you, you are so happy. I guess I don't have to worry about anything then.

Before Carla left the company today, she found Helen and asked her if she wanted to leave. If Helen wasn't willing to stay in this company anymore, she would choose some other companies for her.
But Helen turned down her offer, point-blank. She said that it didn't matter where her workplace was. And she knew that the Hua Group was almost Carla's. What's more, Carla would marry Terence one day. So there was no point if she switched to another company since she would still work for them.
Hearing her explanation, Carla didn't insist anymore. She knew Helen was loyal and wanted to work for her and Terence.
Carla's phone suddenly rang. Without looking at the caller ID, she picked up the phone and said, "Hello."
"Ah. You finally answered my call! Don't hang up! Mom said you didn't want to see me. I wanted to talk to you but I'm afraid that it would have upset you. I try to resist the impulse to see you, but it's so hard for me. You have no idea that I have planned to fly an airplane by myself and come to find you at least a dozen times!"
