Chapter 329 Arrangements for Carla
Andrea had a serious look on her face as if she was pondering something. Carla could only look at her
mother.
She felt a bit confused and then asked, "Mother, are you still expecting me to marry Noah?"
Nervousness filled Carla's inside but she tried her best not to show how tense she was getting.
A gentle smile graced on Andrea's features. "Oh goodness, no! Callie, you are the most precious girl to
me. Forcing you to marry someone you don't love is something that never crosses my mind. Don't
worry about it."
"Well, what's the matter?"
Carla felt secretly relieved.
She thought to herself, 'As long as she doesn't force me to get married to Noah, I can probably trust
anything she would say.'
Andrea studied her daughter's features longingly then she stood up and went to the safe. She took out
a thick document which was carefully wrapped in kraft paper.
"Callie, you should take a look at these documents. It indicates all the industries that our Hua Group is
in. Every shop and every patent are here. Not to mention, there are also some things here that Noah
doesn't know."
Andrea lowered her gaze, held the document gingerly and kept talking to Carla, "Your grandfather and
your father had put so much of their energy and efforts into these industries. There were so many
things bounded in this document. Some pages are getting loose and scattered everywhere."
"I see," Carla muttered in awe. Andrea looked up at Carla, continuing, "Callie, your leg is almost all
right. I know it may be difficult at the beginning. But I hope...
I hope you can work in the Hua Group. I know that everything needs to start somewhere and we can't
simply rely on York and Noah for everything!
I believe in you, my child. And I am proud of you. I pray that you will have influence and power within
the company, so that when things get difficult, you won't be at loss."
Looking at Carla, she gave a tearful smile. "The Hua Group may fall apart and that's the worst thing
that can happen. I love you and I want to help you get what you truly deserve."
Andrea and Allen had worked for the Hua Group for a long time. Thus, they had a lot of experiences
within the group.
'The Hua family may be at the top today but the future is uncertain. Who knows? What if it becomes
desolate?
Instead of letting the Hua Group fall into the hands of others, it's best to let Callie take it over.
In the end, Callie will have to depend on herself, ' Andrea thought to herself.
"Mother, I agree with you. But as I have mentioned earlier, I lack the skills and the experience in
managing a company. Aside from that, my current identity isn't allowed to be disclosed to public for
now. How will I be able to enter the company?"
Actually, the thought of working in a company had already crossed Carla's mind before.
Back then, in order to make ends meet for her and Sean, Carla had to take a lot of gigs. Aside from
that, she worked in a company for two months wherein she was assigned to the purchasing
department. Even so, it was still not enough for her to manage a business.
The Hua Group was a well-known one among the domestic enterprises. Even if there was a chance for
her to be a member of the board of directors, it wouldn't be easy for her to gain a foothold.
"I already have discussed with Noah about the work you'll be doing. You can officially enter the
company only after your leg has completely recovered. This is just a suggestion but it's best that you
start an entry-level position so you'll know the ropes on how the enterprise runs," Andrea said as she
caressed Carla's hair.
'These are Allen's words before he died.
No matter what kind of job our Callie takes, she won't be recognized that easily by the employees. So
it's better for her to start from the beginning, ' Andrea thought.
Then she continued, "Well, it's natural that you should start from scratch. You won't stay long in every
position. But I want you to familiarize yourself with every process in the Hua Group and then gradually
promote you to a higher position."
Andrea gave a shrewd gaze, continuing, "At the first month, you must do your very best to learn about
the business. You need to integrate yourself as a new employee and I won't give you any help.
Once you have been evaluated and you are fit enough, I will arrange for you someone competent to
help you get promoted as soon as possible. You must learn that every position, no matter how small, is
very vital to the business.
You don't need to be the perfect employee but I hope that when the time comes, you have the skills
and intellect to manage the company."
Seeing Andrea's serious gaze, Carla felt a bit hesitant. Then she gave a firm nodded and answered,
"Yes.
I promise you, mother. I will do my best!"
Andrea gave a relieved smile as she looked at Carla's determined gaze. She thought to herself, 'I know
it's not easy for one young lady to go to work but it's essential for managing the company.
In order to achieve the desired results, preparations must be made.'
Life can create unexpected twists. If one doesn't prepare in advance, he or she will end up with nothing
left.
Meanwhile, at the doorway of Andrea's room, Bonnie brought a cup of Jasmin tea and was going to
apologize to Andrea. She happened to overhear what the two women talked about.
Bonnie sneered, chewing her lower lip.
'Back then, I wanted to work in the company. But mother kept telling me that I don't need to work hard
because I am a girl. Now she's encouraging Carla to work in the company?
Not to mention, she has been arranging everything step by step so that her daughter could take over
the company.
What does this woman want to do?
It's known that all of the company affairs are handled by my brother, Noah. The company is doing well
under his leadership. Now she has her own daughter back. Does she want to kick all of her adopted
children out?
I have always shown respect for my mother. I didn't expect her to be so cruel!
In that case, don't blame me if I do something heartless!' Bonnie pondered.
Bonnie gulped down the tea and turned to leave in angry steps. Malice could be seen flashing in her
eyes.
Back to the room, Andrea and Carla were still talking and laughing.
"Mother, now I feel weak at my leg, wobbling and barely able to stay upright. So it's still a few days
before I can walk normally. I want to let the servants tidy up the house in the southern suburbs and
move to live here during this period. What do you think?"
It was not a good idea to always rely on Andrea and Noah. So Carla considered moving out of the Hua
family to improve her ability to handle things independently.
"Of course you can do that. The house there is almost as well decorated as those here, except for the
furniture. Don't worry. Once you move there, I'll arrange two reliable servants to take care of you. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
Although it's a good place, I am a bit worried about you living alone there,"
Andrea said after some thoughts.
Upon hearing this, Carla's face brightened up. 'This is good! As soon as the house has been tidied up,
I'll take Sean over to live with me.'
After a week, Carla got her wish granted and moved to a small villa by the mountains in the southern
suburbs of HA City.
When she first arrived there, she found that the villa wasn't as magnificent as Terrence's. However, it
was small and cozy and it was very much to her liking.
'There's no need to occupy too much land.
Besides, it's enough for a big family to live here.
To make it exciting, only Sean and I will live here!' Carla thought.
She also found out that there were neighbors who lived with their own families. After all, the area was
located near HA City's exclusive school. Some of the city's wealthy families lived there as well.
She found it good. Having more people living around made it less desolate.
Then she wondered, 'The Seaview Villa was a bit lonely but then, he prefers quiet places.'
Carla was overjoyed that she finally had a house of her own. She recalled the times she and Sean lived
in a small apartment and she was struggling to pay the rent.
The two-story house was built and decorated in an idyllic style.There was a garden full of plants and
flowers outside. There was also an underground garage.
It was close to the mountains. And the terrain wasn't very high. One could be at peace once they saw
the broad view of the mountains, spreading out like a green blanket.
If one went further, there was a stream with clear water. It wasn't deep and it stretched miles longs.
Carla couldn't help but admire the scenery before her.
Due to her difficulty in walking, as promised, Andrea arranged two servants to take care of Carla as
soon as she moved there.
Noah didn't say anything when he heard that Carla was moving out of the Hua family. He came over in
person and brought her common household items in order to help her start.
At Carla's first day in the villa, she spent it with Andrea.
The next day, Carla smiled as she dialed Terence's number. She couldn't wait to discuss with him about
Sean's school transfer to HA City.
