Chapter 513: Chapter 514: Photo Album

Moses did not say anything further, his face once again lowered to continue perusing the documents, showing neither joy nor sorrow on his face.

After hanging his coat back on the rack, Paul turned and left the room. Moments later, he doubled back, gently placing something in his hands at the corner of the desk.

Moses glanced at it and recognized his album immediately, raising an eyebrow at Paul who then explained with a downcast face.

"I... I was just worried that it might not be appropriate to throw it away casually, so I haven’t had the chance to destroy it yet."

Of course, that wasn’t the real reason.

As Moses’s personal assistant, Paul was well aware of how important the album was to him, carrying it with him wherever he went.

When Moses, in a fit of rage, ordered the destruction of the album, Paul was concerned that he might regret it and thus went against his command, secretly keeping the item.

Moses remained silent, and Paul gave him a courteous bow.

"I’ll go get you a cup of hot tea."

Paul turned and headed toward the door. After a few steps, he heard a low voice from behind him.

"Thank you."

Paul pretended not to hear and quickened his pace out of the room.

Picking up the old album from the corner of the desk, Moses pulled open a drawer, took out the photo of Gan Yuan at three years old, and carefully slotted it into the last empty page.

Gently stroking over the photograph through the protective plastic film, he looked at the innocent smile on the child’s face, and Moses frowned, drawing a deep breath.

"No matter when, I will not let anyone hurt you."

In the picture, the young child’s smile remained bright, brighter than the sunlight outside the window, as if one could hear her crisp, delightful laughter through the photograph.

Duke Hotel, General Manager’s Office.

Gan Yuan politely invited Qian Xueying to take a seat, then presented the event plan to her.

"This is the complete arrangement we’ve prepared for the Duke’s birthday banquet, including the menu. Please take a look, and if there are any issues, we can immediately make changes."

"Miss Gan is very efficient." Qian Xueying accepted the event plan, "Come to think of it, I believe I’ve mentioned that you can call me by my name."

Gan Yuan raised the corners of her lips, "Then why do you still address me as Miss Gan?"

"All right, I’m the one at fault here." Qian Xueying smiled, "Let me take you to lunch as an apology, you won’t refuse me like you did Abel, will you?"

"I’ll pay the bill," Gan Yuan said with a smile.

"Alright then," Qian Xueying nodded, "next time it’s my treat."

The two shared a smile, and as Qian Xueying’s gaze returned to the event plan, she began to flip through it, "Previously, all these matters were handled by the butler... the butler, he..."

At the mention of the butler, her fingers nervously intertwined.

Of course, Gan Yuan was not in the dark about the butler’s incident at the Duke Residence. Seeing the distressing expression on the young face of Qian Xueying, Gan Yuan stood up, sat beside her, and reached out her palm to comfortingly touch her shoulder.

"It’s okay, you can take a look first. The banquet is tomorrow night; we can modify the plan before tomorrow morning."

Gan Yuan spoke politely, treating the other as a client, to whom she was always serious and responsible.

After all, this was the first major order her hotel had taken since her appointment, and with many social elites expected to attend, it was also the best opportunity for publicity since the grand reopening of the hotel, so Gan Yuan was highly attentive to this order.

Qian Xueying was simple and kind-hearted, her temperament gentle, unlike Nancy. Gan Yuan had a very good impression of her and knew she was under great pressure, feeling deep empathy for her.
