Moda decides to be the one taking the call.
"Good afternoon Madam"
"Hello .... ,who is this?" Madam G lifts her brow.
" This is Moda speaking, madam"
"Ah Moda, isn't this Josh's phone? "
"Yes it is Madam. Would you want to have a talk with young master madam?
"Ah yes please, wait! Is he in a meeting now? "
"No he isn't, madam G. Young master is currently reading some proposals for our coming project".
"Does he have any schedule for today?"
"Let me take a look at the agenda for a moment madam." Moda quickly opens the the planner on his tablet. "Madam, young master has no appointment for today. He will be staying at the office all day."
"Oooh okay, May you pass the phone please? Thank you" Madam G's eyes light up.

"young master" Moda calls Josh as light as he can.
He doesn't want to disturb the master. He knows how Josh can be if anyone ever disturb him while he is doing something. He doesn't want to be scolded or even got fired.
There was once this employee. He called young master because there was a guest who started mumbling since they have waited for an hour to meet Josh. In that time Josh was focusing his mind analysing a building design while doing a conference call with the architects. That disturbance cause the employer got fired and the guest got blacklisted from their company.
But it is the madam who is calling. It is not a someone unimportant or those higher ups that can be ignored anytime he wants. It is Madam Georgina Tan that we are talking about. Josh's mother.
"Young master, cough cough...", Moda decides to take the risk. He is right, Josh immediately throws him a cold and murderous look.
"I.. I apologise master. But, madam is calling" Moda lowered his head, being afraid to see his cold eyes while passing the phone. He then excuses his self to get out of the room. Josh takes the phone and gives a deep sigh before he speaks.
"Yes, mom?"
" What takes you so long?? are you that busy that you can't even answer your phone directly?
" Yes I am mother. I'm reading the proposals from the investor candidates". Everytime he talks with his mom, he never be able to be that cold master those people know.
" Do you even know what time is it now, darling?"
Josh take a look at his wrist watch. It's almost at one p.m
"Almost one"
"Yes, almost one. And have you had lunch?"
"I will have once i finish, mother"
"This brat, how many times should this mother tell you to not sacrifice your health over works??"
"Mom, I'm fine okay. I know my limit. You don't have to worry"
"what limit?? I am in majestic palace. Now come over, lets have lunch together"
"But mom .... " Before josh can say any excuse, Madam G cuts his words directly,
" I know you don't have any appointment today, don't fool me. Now come here. I will not eat before you come. There is no a "NO" this time Josh ! !" Madam G speaks in a firm tone. Josh rarely hears his mother talks in a serious tone. Once she does, means she is really serious about it.
Josh can't refuse his mother this time.
"Okay mom, I'll be there in ten minutes"
