Married at First Sight

Chapter 4447 Huyoniville.

The York Corporation's Huyoniville branch hadn't officially opened yet, but the company had already rented the office space, set up the necessary equipment, and hired a significant number of workers.

Grandma York was someone who strongly believed in fate and fortune-tellers. Naturally, the grandchildren she raised inherited that belief.

Every time a new branch was about to open, the family would consult a fortune- teller to choose an auspicious day for the official launch, hoping it would bring wealth and prosperity to the business.

Evan had already asked a fortune-teller to pick a lucky date, but that day hadn't

arrived yet.

So for now, the employees just came in to clean and decorate the office.

As long as they showed up to work, they'd get paid this way, they wouldn't grow impatient waiting for the branch to open and decide to take other jobs.

Evan was the branch manager. Whenever Abby was at work, he'd stop by the company to check on things.

At the moment, he was upstairs in his office.

Since this was a branch location, the office building wasn't that tall-just five

floors. Evan and the senior staff had their offices on the fifth floor. Each one could personalize their space since they'd be working there long-term, and everyone took the decorating seriously.noveldrama

Evan's office was pretty much done.

His desk was a half-moon shape, paired with a black swivel chair.

On the desk, there was just a computer and two landline phones. Behind him stood a large cabinet for books and files.

He'd also placed two potted plants in the room-one was a fortune tree, the other a money tree.

Originally, he wanted to ask his sister-in-law to make a woven eagle for his office — symbolizing ambition and success. But since she was in the late stages of pregnancy, his brother had firmly forbidden her from doing any kind of handicraft. Now that she had given birth and was in confinement, it was even less likely she could make one for him.

Evan decided to wait until she recovered before asking again.

Serenity used to run an online store selling handmade crafts. But after she became the York family's eldest daughter-in-law, she had more responsibilities and didn't need the side business anymore.

She had passed the store on to her students, letting them run it independently. She didn't really check in on how the business was doing anymore.

Evan could easily buy from them or request a custom order.

But to him, no one's work compared to his sister-in-law's. He'd rather wait two or three months than buy someone else's.

Ring, ring, ring...

Evan's phone rang.

He pulled it out of his pocket, hoping it was Abby-but it turned out to be one of

the managers.

He picked up.

"Boss York, Miss Hache is outside the company. She said she wants to see you," the manager reported. “I happened to run into her on my way out. The security guard stopped her, and she asked me to call you and check if you know her. Maybe she's a client here for a business meeting?"

Even though the company hadn't officially opened, Evan and his team were already working on deals.

With the York Corporation's backing—and the fact that Evan was pursuing Abby, the Du family's second daughter-many were optimistic about the new branch.

So it wasn't unusual for people to want to get involved early.

Evan thought for a second. He was doing business, sure-but he didn't recall setting up any meetings with a woman named Hache.
