[You’ve been acting strange lately. Did Aveline say something to get to you?]
Xavier read the text and thought his childhood friend was a lost cause. He replied, [Losing a little money is no big deal. Just remember not to sell yourself out for Josephine.]
Gerald got annoyed that he was dodging the question and texted, [Don’t be a scumbag. Keep your word and transfer the money so Josie can make her movie.]
Xavier didn’t reply, tapping his phone screen as he thought he should talk to Brielle and have the Hendersons keep an eye on Gerald, lest he replace Josephine only for a hot–headed Gerald to transfer a few hundred million of his family’s money for her to make another movie.
He thought of Aveline and called Helena. “Did you bring my wife the health tonic?”
Helena replied, “Sir, I just finished making it. I’m taking it over now.”
“Okay. Don’t tell her I asked you to do it. Just say you saw how hard she was working and wanted to make something to help her regain her energy.”
“Yes. sir.”

Aveline was reading, waiting for Helena to come and help her to the bathroom for a bath.
Hearing the door open, she knew it was Helena and said, “Helena, I’m ready for my bath.”
Helena came in, carrying a bowl of a health tonic that smelled of Jujubes, Goji berries, and other things. Aveline frowned slightly.
“Did Xavier tell you to make this?”
Helena hadn’t expected the missus to guess it was the master’s order before she could even speak, so she quickly said:
“Ma’am, no. I saw how hard you’ve been working and wanted to make something to help you regain your energy.”
“I didn’t put in any bitter Herbal Remedies. It’s just Bird’s nest soup, Jujubes, Goji berries, and Lotus seeds.”
Aveline didn’t believe her bullshit. Xavier must have told her to do it, otherwise a housekeeper

wouldn’t be so meddlesome
She said coolly, “What’s so hard about my job? I’m the lead architect, not a construction workex”
Helena was speechless.
“Well, ma’am, I’ve already made it. Why don’t you just eat it?”
As she spoke, she placed the traditional health tonics on the coffee table.
Aveline said coolly, “Take it to Xavier, and then come back and help me to the shower.”
Helena froze
“Ma’am, the master probably won’t eat it.”
Aveline replied, “If he won’t eat it, tell him I said to pour it down the toilet and feed it to his hotel’s sewer.”
Helena:
She wouldn’t dare say something like that to the master.
“Go on.”
Helpless, Helena picked up the traditional health tonics and went to Xavier’s room.
Xavier was just about to take a shower when he heard the doorbell. He thought, Aveline couldn’t possibly be here to fight with me over a bowl of tonics, could she?
There was no way she was here to thank him.
He went to open the door and saw Helena outside, holding a bowl of traditional health tonics.
“The missus won’t eat it?”
Helena gave a wry smile. “I hadn’t even opened my mouth before the missus guessed you told me to make it.”
“She said you should eat it.”
Xavier: “…”
He didn’t think for a second that Aveline was concerned about him, giving him the tonics to cat.
“Come in. Tell me exactly what she said.”
