Allison hung up the phone and warmly welcomed Paige's daughter-in-law, "Con in, please."
As they chatted, Allison discovered that this lady called Shannon was forty-seven and had a daughter two years
younger than her, who was teaching at an elementary school.
"Allison, Mr. Fisher mentioned you love these foods, so | grabbed a bit of everything. What do you feel like having
for dinner?" Shannon asked as she cin with two big bags of fresh veggies and meats from the membership-
only supermarket.
Allison grinned, "If Joshua said that, then I'm sure I'll like it all. You can decide the dishes."
"Perfect! Mr. Fisher specifically toldto shop at that big supermarket on the west side. It was my first time
there, and you need a membership just to get in. Everything's pretty pricey, but the labels say they're organic,
so it must be top- notch, right?"
Shannon's friendly and down-to-earth nature made her instantly likable, and Allison enjoyed her company.
"Ms. Allison, you've grown up so much. | wonder if you remember me. | used to hold you when you were little."

Allie."
Shannon smiled, "Alright, Allie it is. Where's the kitchen?"
Allison pointed, "Over there."
"I'll start cooking then. Mr. Fisher said he'd be back for dinner tonight, so how about three dishes and a soup?"
Allison nodded, "That sounds great."
Joshua finished up his work and told the driver to head to Windswept House, the villa he'd gotten for Allison.
To avoid the awkwardness of having no spare clothes for an overnight stay, Joshua made sure to bring new
toiletries, bathrobes, and casual clothes, filling several large suitcases.
When he reached the door, Joshua rang the bell.
Allison opened the door, a bit taken aback, "Why'd you bring so much stuff?"
Joshua raised an eyebrow with a playful grin, "Just in case | end up staying over and need something to wear."
Allison thought: Isn't this a bit much? It's almost like we're moving in together.
Then she realized, if Joshua did suggest moving in, she wouldn't mind.
Allison asked curiously, "Don't you have a key? Why the doorbell?"
"This place is yours. You're the only owner now, so | need your go-ahead to get a key."
Allison laughed, "Alright, I'll give you a spare key later."
Joshua followed her inside, with his bodyguard carrying the suitcases behind "Don't wait too long, let's sort it
today. You might forget otherwise."
Allison laughed, "I'm not that forgetful."

Kate let out a bitter laugh, "Do you think I'm just a joke, Pearl?"
Pearl shifted awkwardly, offering a half-smile. Truth be told, she did seem a bit like
a joke.
