Actually, David's work had been pretty idle in the past few years. He usually just sat in the headquarters while leaving most of the important decisions to Xavier who was abroad. He would spend his time doing what he really liked such as gardening or playing chess while enjoying some tea.

"I heard you're handling the opening ceremony for Imperial Sky Entertainment City."

It was a precious moment of David expressing his concern about a company event.

Arya nodded while pouring David a glass of water. She sat down and replied,

"Mmm, Director would be more familiar about it, but he's been transferred this year. The PR Department isn't very familiar with the whole process of it, so I'll just help out. Grandfather, are you coming with Grandmother on that day?"

David waved his hand and shook his head with a smile.

"We'll sit this one out. I'm not worried about leaving the company to Xavier and you at all. I've always wanted to retire after hustling all these years. As for your parents, I'm afraid they won't have time to attend as well. I guess you'd understand even if we don't say it out loud."

David's words stunned Arya slightly. She then replied,

"Mmm, I understand."

"Okay, go have your breakfast and just work on whatever you have to. Your grandmother is planning to revamp the land, so I'll go and take a look."

He then started to walk outside.

...

Arya drove straight to the company after having a light breakfast.

It was still the holidays, so most of the company was empty. Only the PR Department was busy with the opening ceremony. Hence, they had to give up their rest to work on this project.

It was near noon after she finished revising the plans with Manager. They locked down the details and established a general direction.

"Alright, we're set for now then. We can start decorating the place tomorrow. I've taken note of the details just now and most of them are done. We have three days, and I understand that it's a little rushed, but we have to do our best and make it as flawless as possible." Arya closed the folder and handed it to Manager.

...

"Noted, Director Johns. Don't worry. We're confident!" Manager and the others gave her a confident smile.

Arya nodded. "Thank you for everyone's hard work. Sorry for taking away your New Year's holiday. Chairman Knight asked me to bring everyone some gifts which I've left at the reception area on the first floor. Go and take them yourself later. It's pretty late now, so grab some food and let's meet at the plaza in Entertainment City tomorrow."

Their expressions brightened when they heard her words, and they quickly expressed their gratitude,

"Thank you, Chairman Knight and Director Johns. We'll surely work hard on this!"

After the meeting was dismissed, Arya packed her stuff up and was planning to go back to the Johnson Residence. Before she left, she made a call and realized that Robert had gone over to Maple Residence while Arianna had gone shopping at the New Era Plaza with a colleague.

After thinking about it, she went straight to the New Era Plaza to look for Arianna, intending to bring her over to Maple Residence for dinner.

It was rare for Arianna to go shopping, so Arya was surprised to hear that.

When Arya found her, she was trying on some clothes with a colleague.

"Mother!" She quickly went up to Arianna.
