Unemployed Family? Hidden Tycoons dote on her novel

Meanwhile, back at the small venture capital firm Naomi was running, she and Ruby returned to their offices after the morning stand-up meeting. Naomi had secured Ruby a junior associate position there, which explained their constant proximity. Their offices were adjacent, and Ruby made a habit of popping in for coffee.

As they entered Naomi's office, Ruby was about to pour herself a cup when Naomi's phone chimed with a notification. Naomi picked it up and glanced at the screen-a message from her assistant. Ruby immediately leaned in, her curiosity piqued. "Well? Did your assistant manage to get Matthew's calendar?" Naomi's expression turned concerned as she read the details. "Yes. It says his grandfather hasn't been well.

Lately, aside from going to his office, Matthew has been spending most of his time at Stewart Manor, looking after him." go pay his "Hey, that's a perfect opportunity!" Ruby's eyes lit up with an idea. "You should grandfather a visit. A get-well gesture. That way, you'll 'just happen' to see Matthew there." Naomi's heart gave a little flutter at the thought, a faint blush coloring her cheeks. The idea was tempting. "I suppose... there's nothing critical on my desk today, just some administrative loose ends," she mused.

"Then let's go now!" Ruby urged, eager to escape the monotony of spreadsheet work. "Right now?" Naomi was taken aback by the immediacy. "Yes, right now!" Ruby insisted. "The earlier you go, the longer the visit can be. It's a chance to connect with Robert Stewart, too. That's important." Naomi saw the logic. "Alright. But we need to pick up a suitable gift first." "Absolutely, let's go!" Ruby agreed enthusiastically, following Naomi out the door. She was always ready to ditch work for a more interesting outing.

Soon, Naomi's car was parked at the city's most upscale gourmet market, where they selected an elegant basket of rare teas, artisan honey, and other premium wellness gifts. Then, they set their navigation for Stewart Manor. As they drove through the imposing wrought-iron gates and up the long, tree-lined drive, Ruby stared, wide-eyed, at the majestic stone manor house that came into view. "Wow... this is incredible.

"I'll show you around a bit later," Naomi said, her tone softening as she shared some history. "The Stewart family goes back generations. They're one of the oldest, most established families in this city. Their ancestors were among the first major industrialists here. The main house and several outbuildings are officially designated historic landmarks, protected for their architectural significance." "That's...

impressive," Ruby murmured. She had heard plenty of gossip about the Stewarts' wealth and influence, but she'd never appreciated the depth of their legacy. As they spoke, the security bar at the entrance lifted automatically; the license plate recognition system identified Naomi's car from previous visits and granted access. Naomi drove slowly down the sweeping driveway. Towering, ancient oaks and elms lined the route, their sprawling branches forming a canopy overhead. Each tree was undoubtedly priceless, cared for over decades.

The air itself felt different-clean, crisp, and faintly scented with pine and earth. "Naomi, the air smells amazing here. It's so fresh," Ruby remarked, inhaling deeply and looking over in surprise. Seeing Ruby's genuine wonder, Naomi's smile deepened. In the presence of such enduring heritage, mere wealth and status somehow felt less significant. 90 。 3/3 14:29 Thu, Jan 29 M...
