It was difficult for Corinne to know her dingiest kid suddenly did not need her anymore.
She stood by the door for a long while, and no matter how she thought about it, she could not help but worry about Joey. Thus, she climbed into Joey's room through the balcony from the study next door.
Inside his room, a frowning Joey was curled up sleeping in his bed with a teddy bear in his arms. It was obvious he was insecure, but even so, he still forced himself to be independent by locking the door.
Corinne could not help but see herself in him. She, too, knew what it was like to have to force herself to be independent at such a tender age. She adjusted his blanket and went out of his room through the balcony again.

'The Anya | know will think that job is beneath her. Does that mean her reformation is a success? wondered Corinne.
"Boss, I've already instructed my people to keep an eye on her, and they found nothing out of the ordinary about her day. She'd go to work every morning and would buy something to eat along her way back hafter work." "Okay, | understand. Continue to keep an eye on her, and callif she does anything out of the ordinary." "Yes, Boss! By the way, there's also been progress on the matter you askedto do last tconcerning Adam Group. I'll email you the report later." Corinne narrowed her eyes. "Okay. Good job." After hanging up the phone, Corinne finished the sandwich she was eating in two bites, excused herself from the table, and ran to her room to check her email.
