Since Summer had the opportunity now, she readily agreed."Let's cook together, then. And we can see whose cooking is better—mine or yours."James seemed amused by her challenge and agreed to it.He had already prepared the ingredients. The villa's refrigerator was stocked with various ingredients—spinach, cabbage, tomatoes, pork, lamb, and everything else that was available in the market.Summer and James agreed to each prepare three dishes. Then, Lexi and Charlie would judge which dishes were better.After the agreement, the two got busy. The kitchen in the villa was huge, and they each had plenty of space to cook.Summer used to frequently cook with Amelia, so she was confident in her culinary skills. Although talented, James had been born into a wealthy family and probably rarely cooked. So, Summer was full of confidence for this competition.Summer had already planned her three dishes—an omelet, garlic pork roast, and barbecue ribs. They were ordinary home-cooked dishes t

After Lexi finished speaking, she glanced timidly at James, probably afraid of not knowing whom to support when judging.Although it was just a judgment, she couldn't afford to offend either side. James was Lexi's boss. If she said his cooking wasn't good, he might take offense.But Lexi had a better relationship with Summer. No matter how Summer's cooking tasted, Lexi would definitely support her friend, which put her in a dilemma.Charlie seemed to have the same thought. He also felt it was difficult to choose sides. He was merely a bodyguard; he didn't want to offend Summer or James.Summer hadn't expected them to be so troubled by this small matter. She exchanged glances with James and seemed to have an idea.Smiling, she said, "Don't worry, James and I are both fair and impartial. When the time comes, you can express your opinions freely. Good food is good, and bad food is bad."After pausing for a moment, Summer led them to the dining table. "There are six dishes here, th

Just like that, the two of them essentially confirmed a tie. According to them, it was a three-to-three draw. Neither Summer nor James gained an advantage.At this moment, Summer asked, "Did you guys already guess which dishes are mine and which are James'?"Lexi and Charlie both fell silent. Even though they kept quiet, it was clear from the way their eyes darted around that they had indeed guessed it.After all, these dishes had distinct personal characteristics.James said, "It looks like we have a tie. I think Summie and I have different styles and flavors in our dishes, making it difficult to determine a winner."Lexi immediately nodded in agreement. "Yes, Mr. Quigley is right. Both of you cooked delicious food, but the styles are different. It's hard to compare."What they said was reasonable. Although Summer had wanted to compete with James to see who was the true master chef, it was better to let the matter go.Summer was starving; she just wanted to dive into the food a

James reached out his hand to pull Summer closer by the shoulder and embrace her. The two leaned against each other while admiring the beautiful scenery."Do you like it, Summie? If you like it, we can come here once a week.""Okay." Summer delightedly accepted the suggestion.Nature offered many beautiful sights, the sea being one of them. Summer had always loved the sea, perhaps because of how it seemed endless and the unique flavor it added to love stories. Hence, she enjoyed watching the sea while snuggling with her lover.As time ticked by, the sun gradually rose above the sea.Summer broke free from James' embrace, stood up, and stretched lazily. "It's time for us to go back to work. It's getting late."James took Summer's hand and gently pulled her back into his embrace. "How about we take a break from work?"James sounded almost pleading. He wanted to spend more time with Summer like this.It was extremely rare for a workaholic like James to say this. Hence, Summer

As for why it was called Sunflower Garden, it was purely Summer's personal preference.To her, a sunflower symbolized vitality, sunshine, happiness, and freedom. Summer hoped that the future residents of Sunflower Garden could always be happy, hence the choice of name.Some employees in the company initially did not like the name, thinking it sounded a bit ordinary.Compared to "Sunflower Garden", names like "Starry Garden", "Moon River Garden", or "Bloomingdale Garden" would sound nicer. Unfortunately, Sunflower Garden just sounded a bit odd.In this regard, Gerald actually agreed with Summer. He thought that Sunflower Garden sounded positive and meaningful, so they settled on it.With that, the first phase of the Sunflower Garden project began with an initial investment of 300 million dollars. Charter Corporation, as the main developer, had already contacted construction units to begin the project.It would take about half a year before the first phase of Sunflower Garden could

However, Summer wasn't happy at all when she saw this client because she recognized him. It was Bradly."Bradly, why are you here?" Summer rolled her eyes, not expecting him to be the client Gerald had mentioned."Why can't I be here? Charter Corporation is open for business. Shouldn't you welcome me?" While saying that, Bradly sat down opposite Summer.He continued, "Come on, Summer, don't be so cold. I'm here to bring you business. You should be grateful."This guy was speaking as if he were a god who had come to save her. Summer felt annoyed just looking at him.Standing at the door, Gerald was surprised to see Bradly and Summer arguing. Seeing this scene, he was at a loss.Summer smiled at him and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Gerald. I know him. Leave it to me.""Alright." Gerald smiled back, though it was forced and carried a hint of concern. He seemed worried that Summer might mess things up.In truth, Summer was hoping to mess things up. She felt that Bradly never came for

Firstly, Bradly was indeed up to something. Perhaps he intended to play a game to mock Summer.The second possibility was that James had secretly made a move, letting Bradly transfer the order, which originally belonged to Quigley Group, to Charter Corporation.Comparing these two possibilities, Summer felt that the latter was more likely. James now knew that Charter Corporation was ready to develop, and if they helped other companies design villas, they could earn a hefty profit. Plus, it wouldn't require much investment.Although she didn't know which possibility it was, since she had gotten a free lunch, it would be foolish not to take it."I understand, Bradly. I accept your order, but tell me more about your project and the remuneration.""No problem." Bradly was visibly pleased that Summer had agreed and began to explain their project.The project was mainly targeted at high-end customers. The initial design concept was to create a modern project with nature as the theme.

Summer suspected that there was indeed something fishy going on. She certainly wouldn't believe Bradly would easily offer 100 million dollars. The only possible explanation was that James had secretly helped out with the money.In order to help Summer develop Charter Corporation without directly offering money, James must have provided assistance through this indirect method. That was the only possibility Summer could think of.She narrowed her eyes, and her expression became serious."Tell me honestly, Bradly. Did James ask you to do this?""Huh?" Bradly put on a puzzled look, as if he didn't understand what she was saying.But Summer wasn't easily fooled. She stood up, grabbed his hair, and asked sternly, "Are you not going to tell me the truth?""Let go! let go of me." Bradly struggled nervously. However, he couldn't break free from Summer's grip. He couldn't afford to injure her, as someone would be upset. So, he cried out for mercy,."Summer, please spare me. Let go. We c
