Han Luo dragged her tired body to her bed. It was a long day. After class, she had a meeting in the company. After that, she went to visit the shop with Thomas and Isla.

As promised, President Smith hired top planners and designers to renovate the café. They were working according to Isla's design. They also gave some ideas.

Han Luo listened to everything and approved whatever was convenient. She didn't refuse even if it was off the budget because the one who was going to pay for this was President Smith, not her.

After that, their patisserie, William showed some recipes to Jack and Sophia and they began to work on it together. Han Luo, Isla, Johnathan, and Nancy tested the pastries and they liked them. After getting the approval, William became high spirited. He, Jack, and Sophia started to bake pastries for the inauguration party.

Han Luo had to skip her dinner because her stomach was filled with delicious pastries. She took a quick bath and brushed her teeth before going to the bed. She could barely keep her eyes open.

Just when she was about to sleep, her cell phone rang. She reached out and grabbed her cell phone from the bedside table. Without checking, she answered the call, "Hello?"

"Little Luo, you sound so tired," Tang Yujin seemed concerned.

Han Luo sat up. "Big brother Yujin… don't mind me. Did you get anything?"

Tang Yujin replied, "Yes, I did. Apparently, both Beth and Sean went back to Ireland for business purposes. As for why they stopped contacting us, we have to ask them when they return."

"Oh, so that's how it is. As long as they are fine, it's all right. Thank you for doing this for me, big brother Yujin." Han Luo yawned.

"It's nothing. You hardly ask for anything. You are tired. Sleep soon. Good night," Tang Yujin politely said.

"Good night," Han Luo hung up and fell asleep.

Two days later, it was finally the inauguration ceremony. All the executives and the board of directors were present. Surprisingly Acting Vice President Tong was there as well.

"Uncle Tong!" Han Luo excitedly called his name and walked toward him.

Acting President Tong warned her in a low tone, "Easy girl. You have to walk slowly. Let those old foxes see that you have matured."

"I know! I'm just feeling too good at this moment." Han Luo's eyes were shimmering with thousands of stars.

Acting President Tong chuckled. "I understand your feelings. I was like that when I had to do my first report in front of everyone."

Han Luo giggled. "I can't imagine you being nervous. I'm so glad you came."

"Of course, I would come. It's your first assignment after all. Your eldest uncle rushed from Malaysia and joined this party too." Acting President Tong said.

Han Luo's eyes sparkled. "Uncle did! I'm so happy. Where is he? I have to greet him."

"You can do that later. It's time for your speech. Go to the stage," he guided her.

"Okay, I will," Han Luo hurriedly left his side.

'She has really grown up. Boss, you must wake up soon. You have a daughter to be proud of,' he prayed as he saw her small frame disappearing in the crowd.

Han Luo climbed the stage and took a silver colored microphone. "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Today is a glorious day for me and the Han Corporation. Today is the inauguration ceremony of the first project I have taken. Of course, it wouldn't be possible without my team members William, Nancy, Thomas, Isla, and Jonathan.

"It wouldn't be successful without Acting President Han, Vice Acting President Tong, and Project Director Han Sheng Ming's guidance and faith in me. I'm so glad that I could do something that reached everyone's expectations. I thank you from the bottom of my heart to join me today to celebrate my and my team's success. Please enjoy this evening!"

Loud applause filled the large café. Some elders toasted their drinks to Han Luo. After talking to the guests, she went to the kitchen. Jack, Sophia, and William were still working their best. Nancy was organizing the trays with Rose, Eva, and Poppy.

"Is everything going well?" Han Luo asked.

William repeatedly nodded. "Yes, yes, this is the last round for tonight. This is extra, in case pastries are short. I don't think we need to do more."

Han Luo sighed in relief. "Good job you all. I'm so lucky to have you all. Take it slowly. Don't mess up. After this portion is done, go and have some rest. You all earned it."

After the last pastry was done, William, Jack, and Sophia finally sat down and took deep breaths. William said, "Phew! I couldn't do it without you guys. Thank you so much for your hard work and help."

Sophia smiled kindly and told him, "It's nothing. I enjoy making pastries too. Miss Han loves sweets."

"Oh, I didn't know she liked sweets that much." William's gaze went toward Han Luo who was talking with some Executives. She was smiling brightly. His eyes soothed only by looking at her cute and yet mature appearance.

He gazed at her in awe. He never thought a girl who was still a teen could do a project like this. He was amazed by her skills and the effort she put into her work.

"I wouldn't look at her that way if I were you," Jack warned him.

William innocently glanced at him. "Hmm? What do you mean?"

Before Jack could explain, someone approached him.

"You boys are relaxing…" Han Sheng Ming went closer.

"Yes, our work is done." William stood up seeing Han Sheng Ming.

Han Sheng Ming patted his shoulder. "You are great! I'm so glad my cute little sister chose a capable person. Work hard under her and never betray her.. And also… don't give her any wishy-washy look or you will have to look for another job."
