Seeing this, Lindsey didn’t demand her to answer. She followed her gaze and said slowly, “Thank you for taking care of
Grandma.”
“She is also my grandma. I just do what I’m supposed to do.

“I see what you mean, but I still feel sorry.” She lowered her eyes and her voice turned cold. “I don’t think my father is a good
person. I worry about leaving Grandma there. Initially, I wanted to take Grandma to my house, but she chose to stay here. Elysia,
you’re smart, so you must know the reason.”
Elysia nodded. “Grandma must have considered your parents... and you.”
When she said the last two words, she looked at Lindsey with consideration in her eyes. If she heard correctly, she had just
admitted that her father was not a good person. She knew Lindsey and her father were not on good terms, but she didn’t expect
her to confess it to her.
“What’s wrong?” Seeing Elysia staring at her in a daze, Lindsey waved her hand in front of her.
Elysia shook her head. “Nothing.”
Thinking of something, she said, “I heard you work abroad. Are you going back?”
“No, our company has established a branch in Jorlandia. I’ll come back as the CEO.” Lindsey said as she put her hands on
Elysia’s shoulder. “I’ve bought a house in Jorlandia. You can come to my house if you like.”
“I’ll go.”
A smile played on Lindsey’s lips. “Okay.”
Then she left.
Elysia saw her retreating, unable to tell the feeling in her heart.
Her phone rang, interrupting her thoughts. She answered the call, and Cynthia’s voice came from the receiver. “Elysia, I got in
touch with Barrett Black.”
“What did he say?”
“You’re in luck. He happens to be in Clusia. He will leave Jorlandia by plane tomorrow at 2 pm and he agreed to meet you before
leaving. But... Elysia, do you know Barrett Black?”
“He refused to see you at first. I accidentally mentioned that you were Ada, and he agreed to meet you. And... he seemed a little
excited.”
“Excited?”
“Indeed, he was excited. Elysia, it’s always difficult to make an appointment with Barrett, but when he heard it was you, he
agreed immediately. In fact, he insisted on meeting you himself, otherwise, all bets are off.”
Elysia raised an eyebrow slightly, trying to remember Barrett, but she couldn’t find a single clue.
“Elysia, don’t worry about it. It’s good that Barrett agreed to meet you. Maybe he likes your designs and he’s y
Can.”
Elysia didn’t respond. Everything would be clear when they met.

“Did he set a time and place?”
“Yes, tomorrow morning at 10. The cafe near the Jorlandia airport.”
“Great! Thanks.” Elysia said.
“You’re welcome. You own me big.”
“I’ll pay you back.”
Hanging up the phone, Elysia looked at the cufflink in her hand and thought, “Tomorrow, I’ll know the answer.
The next morning at ten o’clock, she arrived at the cafe near the airport as promised. She looked around and saw a man in a suit
sitting by the window. He was in his early thirties, with smooth skin, blond hair, and blue eyes.
She had read the information about Barrett and she was sure this man was him.
She walked up to him and held out her hand. “Hello.”
Barrett looked up at her, his face full of confusion, and spoke with an accent. “You’re...
He frowned slightly, as if thinking of something, then stood up in shock. He said cautiously, “You’re... Ada?”
Elysia nodded. He couldn’t help but scream, “Oh my god. You’re Ada! That’s incredible.
Ada always wore a mask in public. Everyone knew that she came from Clusia. Aside from this, they knew nothing.
Barrett hadn’t recovered from his shock. He didn’t expect Ada, the famous designer from Morganian, to be so young.
Elysia uttered, “Mr. Black.”
expect you to be so young.”
And he extended his hand. “Ada, let me introduce myself. I am Barrett. Nice to meet you.”
“Nice to meet you too.”
A broad smile spread across Barrett’s face as he chivalrously pulled out the chair beside him. “Ada, please.”
Elysia said, “Thank you.”
They sat face to face. A waiter approached with a menu and asked respectfully, “What would you like to drink?”
Barrett looked at Elysia and gestured to her first.
Elysia didn’t hesitate and said to the waiter, “A latte, please.”
The waiter nodded and turned to Barrett. “Give me one of the same, please.”
“Alright, wait a moment please.” Then the waiter retreated.
When Elysia turned back, she found Barrett looking at her eagerly. She raised an eyebrow, her confusion growing. “Have we met
before, Mr. Black?”
Elysia wondered, ‘If we haven’t, why is Barrett looking at me like that?‘
“Ada, you may not know me, but I know you.”

Elysia was more puzzled after hearing his words. She thought, ‘Maybe Cynthia was right. Barrett likes my design and he’s my
fan.‘
Before she opened her mouth, Barrett explained, “Ada, before I became famous, you used my cufflinks in one of your designs.
Do you remember?”
What he said hit Elysia hard. One time she needed to incorporate cufflinks into the gown she designed. She used the work of an
unknown designer. She remembered his name was Barrett. Some people wondered why she used the work of an unknown
designer and some even advised her to consider other designers. But she was not affected by others and resolutely chose
Barrett’s design.
The memory of Barrett glided before her mind. The unknown designer turned out to be Barrett.
It was no wonder that she didn’t remember him. It had been several years, and she had only used Barrett’s design for the dress,
not for the special treatment for Barrett.
Her expression turned serious. Looking at Barrett, she said, “I chose your design because your cufflinks met my requirements. It
had nothing to do with who
o you are.”
“I know, Ada. You are not the kind of person who gives special treatment to others. It was your choosing me that gave me
confidence and courage.”
