Avery almost choked when she heard her mother. Her annoyance shot up to the highest level. How can she think of such things? Her interest lies in making money and she has a good knack for businesses. She also dabbles in stock market and her investments are earning a lot.
" How can you say such thing Mom! I'm not interested in girls. I'm not attending the dinner ok? Will visit you some other time.", she hurriedly hung up before her mother can say anything.
She tidied her things up and decided to call it a night. Good thing that she has her own condo or else she will lose her mind with her mother's nagging. She knows that her parents mean well but she's just not ready.
After showering, she quickly prepared a simple dinner of stir fried vegetables and pork tonkatsu.
"Hmmmm, this is just how I Iike it to be. Quiet and very relaxing."
Her musing was broken when her phone rang. She did not recognize the number so she did not answer but it persistently rang again.
"Hello? Who are you?"
"Ms. Avery Liang? I'm attorney Jason Cheng of Ona and Sons Law firm. Sorry to call you this late but this was urgently requested of me. Do you remember your Grandma Ying? She died last week and I would like to discuss with the settlement of her properties."
Avery was silenced for a moment. What is this lawyer saying? Is she being scammed? She doesn't remember any grandmother named Ying.
