Kevin, with a black face, bypassed Cecelia and walked towards the gate.

Chicago, Five months later.
The Morton group.
Savannah leaned over her laptop, revising a recent design on CAD.
After coming to Chicago, she was taken by her grandfather to the Morton group\'s board of directors and was introduced to the main shareholders and senior management.
To get to know the group\'s business, she had worked in almost every major department, from marketing to administration... No matter what her position was, she was thorough and meticulous in her work and did quite well.
After that, she went back to her profession as the manager of the design department.
In about half a year, she became familiar with the internal management of a company and the main business of the Morton group, and her status as a junior owner of the group had been largely known.
From her third month in the group, Raymond began to hand over some of the business to her and gave her full authority to act.
At first, Savannah was nervous and even refused, fearing that her lack of experience would ruin the group\'s important business.
But Raymond was determined to let her do it. He never suspected her ability and thought it was better to train her through practical experience than mere talking. All he wanted was to cultivate his granddaughter into a future heiress soon.
Since Raymond had confidence in her and insisted, Savannah gave it a try. After a good beginning, she negotiated several deals on behalf of the group and grew into a professional step by step.
Raymond, with his secretary, followed him, came to the design department.
"Sir, you really have an experienced eye," said the secretary flatteringly, "Miss Schultz is amazing that she knows the rules and does a good job in less than half a year, and negotiated several successful sales on behalf of you. It seemed that you could hand over the group to her early to enjoy your time in retirement."
Raymond gazed at Savannah, who concentrated on her work, also very pleased. Savannah, wearing a blue suit, was like a water lily, clean and beautiful. In order to look mature and dependable, she especially changed her hairstyle to loose waves.
She was now a grown-up woman. There was an aura of elegance about her, and the melancholy in her eyes made her a bit mysterious.
Raymond, of course, knew where the melancholy came from.
It was all about the powerful man in LA.
The way to get over the emotional pain quickly was to start a new relationship. In fact, he intended to introduce some local gentlemen to her granddaughter, but she was completely not interested in them. Later, Kaiden perceived his intention, and in order to prevent his mommy from making a new boyfriend, he followed her all day and made a noise when Raymond arranged private dinners for Savannah and other men. Knowing that Savannah also didn\'t have that mind, Raymond finally let it go.
Drawing back his thoughts, Raymond knocked on the office door.
"Come in, please," Savannah answered without looking up.
Raymond walked in, smiled, and said, "Savannah."
"Mr. Morton," Savannah stood up.
Actually, she had been calling Raymond grandpa for a long time, but she still called him Mr. Morton when they were in the company.
Raymond motioned for her to sit down on the sofa.
"I just wanted to tell you something."
"What\'s it?"
After a short hesitation, Raymond said, "there\'s a big deal next week, and I\'d like you to be in charge of it. But the client is in LA, and you\'ll have to fly there in person."
Savannah froze up as if there were rifles stirred by a small stone cast in the lake of heart.
After coming to Chicago, she was so fully occupied by her work that she had no time to think about that man, or maybe she just tried to bury him at the bottom of the heart.
For half a year, she was quiet inside and hoped the pain would fade away as time went by.
She had thought that days would pass like this until her grandpa suddenly mentioned the city where that man was.
Her expression changed from bewilderment to somber as the familiar pain came to her heart.
Why couldn\'t she forget him?
Why didn\'t she lose her memory when she should?
Seeing her struggling, Raymond smiled and said, "it\'s okay, I\'ll let someone else handle the deal if you don\'t want to go."
But Savannah knew she had to go. How could she be the successor of the Morton group if she even didn\'t dare to face her failed relationship?
How could Raymond trust her if she was as immature as a little girl who delayed her work because of a man?
Could she refuse to deal with people in LA all her life?
"Leave it to me," she took a breath and said, "I haven\'t gone back to LA for months, and I also need to deal with some of K&G\'s business personally. I\'ll go."
"Okay." Raymond nodded with relief when he saw her resolute attitude.

A week later, Savannah got on a plane back to LA with her assistant and Kaiden, who had not seen old Sterling for a long time.
A dark blue Rolls-Royce was waiting at the airport gate for them.
Cooper got out of the car and came over.
"Miss Schultz, young master, how have you been doing?"
Miss Schultz was wearing a canary yellow dress, looking more confident and attractive than half a year ago.
She was in full bloom now.
"How are you, Cooper?" Kaiden jumped to him and asked. "How is grandpa?"
"Good, your grandpa, misses you a lot," Cooper smiled. Then he looked at Savannah, "Mr. Old Sterling asked me to pick up you and the young master to Sterling\'s house for dinner."
