(Chapter 101) A Surprise Visit

Astrid looked down at herself and noticed her jumper was a mess. She sorted herself out, before going in and walking into her father's office.

The first person she saw was Stephan, he was writing something down on a clipboard and seemed extremely serious.

He then raised his head when he heard the door close. Upon seeing astrid. He quickly changed his expression. "Miss! Please take a seat." He quickly turned his attention to Astrid.

He pretty much expected Astrid to be named successor to Hanxi sooner rather than later. Not only were the shareholders incredibly pleased by the results the new products have shown. But they were now asking questions about the person who was apparently helping out the CEO on these products.

Astrid nodded and walked further inside, seeing her father at his desk, she casually took a seat to the side.

Stephan's fawning expression then started to crack. As he could feel that something was up...

Mr. Tuhs looked up as he saw his daughter coming in. "Wow, took your time huh? luckily we still have enough time..." Mr. Tuhs started to joke to Astrid. but his voice cracked at the end.

He was staring at his daughter's face... He could clearly see her red-eye. But that wasn't where their attention was.

Astrid frowned, as she became increasingly confused. "What? Don't tell me my eye is making you like this? You should get used to it." Astrid felt a little ashamed, her eye... Was her weak point.

Mr Tuhs coughed. Realizing something... 'Damn! That old man is worried his grandson doesn't have a girlfriend! now I have to see this!? God, I might cry.'

He then gave a smile to his daughter. "Oh... We aren't looking at your eye dear. Come, the car is waiting for you." Mr. Tuhs had a sly look in his eye. Teasing his daughter was nice for a change, he was normally the one teased by her.

Astrid then furrowed her eyebrows. 'It isn't my eye? Then why are they looking at me with such expressions?' But she then remembered something...

Astrid instinctively touched her lips. They were swollen, and probably red. "Ah, don't worry about it dad. At least you can see mine and Lewis's relationship is very healthy." Astrid looked at her father with a sly look on her face. Another joke between the two. Which Stephan was lost on.

Mr. Tuhs felt like disciplining his daughter! "Oi, don't joke about your mother like that. Come on, get yourself presentable. You can't flaunt a relationship you don't officially have right?"

Astrid lightly chuckled. As she stood up and walked with her father to his elevator.

In the distance, one of the higher members of staff felt like he was imagining things. 'Was that... The boss? With a girl?' He then shook his head, as he walked to Stephan's area to give in his report. He wanted to keep this well-paying job.

Astrid was confused. As a car that looked extremely similar to a limousine was parked in front of her. She eyed her father suspiciously.

Mr. Tuhs instead chuckled. "Don't worry, sit in the back." Mr. Tuhs didn't expect Elder Guilliono to send a limo??? But at least there would a divider in the back.

The driver heard the guests get in, and he started to drive carefully. The Old Master had placed a lot of importance on the people inside, so he was even more careful than usual.

Of course, he was just a driver. He had no idea the identities of the people inside, just thinking they might be business partners for the Master. Since he didn't look at their faces...

Astrid then took out her phone and saw her lips. Sighing lightly, she reached into the bag she brought. And took out some lipstick.

And in a few seconds, her swollen lips now just looked like they had lipstick on. Although if one was used to how Astrid looked, they would question it. She didn't care for that.

She then looked at her father. Who seemed to have a smile on his face and be in a very good mood. "Who said I was aiming my words at mother? Are you sure you aren't just getting... Old?" Astrid then was delivered a swift hit on the top of her head.

Mr. Tuhs looked at his extremely cheeky daughter and sighed. 'Alright, alright... Having my daughter tease me like this is a little unsettling.' He couldn't help think, as he wondered if Astrid had placed cameras in his bedroom in secret.

No, Astrid didn't do that. She just guessed. Seeing her father act physically, Astrid just chuckled. As she closed her eyes.

After around an hour. The limo stopped, Astrid opened her eyes. As she reached inside her bag...

Mr. Tuhs' placed his hand on Astrid's. "It's fine, you won't need the contacts." He said confidently. He had an inkling in what Astrid was planning. And her not wearing the contacts would help her in this situation.

Astrid nodded. And then the door opened. The driver stood at attention as Mr. Tuhs got out.

"Thank you." Mr. Tuhs curtly thanked, as he watched Astrid start to get out.

The driver was at first a little surprised. Based on the face of the man... The woman getting out must be her daughter, but... His surprise then turned to shock.

Her eye was the most obvious factor, the darkness seemed to such one's soul in. While the inner red made a person pressured, and subconsciously afraid. While her other eye was normal, her face was completely off the charts.

It wouldn't be preposterous if someone proclaimed Astrid was a queen! Her demeanor! Her looks! Her aura! Everything screamed that she was someone not be trifled with.

But Astrid could also be labeled the most beautiful woman in the world. And there would be a lot of people would agree. Her face was sharp but unblemished and looked to be sculptured perfectly, her nose wasn't too big, her eyebrows curved just right... And she didn't seem to be wearing makeup at a glance.

The driver didn't dare look anyone. Especially at the glance of her body. Which would shame supermodels across the world. 'Is the Old Master trying to get Master with this woman? Just who is she?' The driver kept his thoughts to himself.

Astrid got out to very familiar surroundings... The main house of the Guilliano family. She looked at her father with narrowed eyes. Clearly wanting answers.

Mr. Tuhs was in a great mood, just as he was going to tease his daughter. He heard footsteps from behind.

"Afternoon Mr. Tuhs, and Miss Tuhs. If you would like to follow me, the Old Master is waiting for you." The family butler bowed as he greeted the guests.

He was actually quite slow in greeting them. That was because he was stunned by the familiar face he saw. He was sure that the Master brought that woman into the house without saying anything. And now things came together in his head.

"Mm, lead the way." Mr. Tuhs calmly nodded, as he and Astrid started to walk inside...
