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
Since Summer wanted to sign the contract, Bradly was definitely willing to sign as well. However, there were a few important points he wanted to clarify before signing the contract."I need you all to ensure that this design will be executed with the utmost care. At the very least, it must be on par with international standards. "You should understand that 100 million dollars for a design fee is not easy to come by. If the work is unsatisfactory, I reserve the right to withdraw the fee," Bradly explained upfront. After all, the cost involved was substantial. He would be at a loss if Charter Corporation submitted subpar work and completed the project perfunctorily.Summer understood the importance. She patted her chest and reassured him. "Don't worry. I will definitely ensure you're satisfied with the design of your high-end villa. If not, I will refund you." Charter Corporation was an excellent real estate developer that had many outstanding and talented individuals. Therefore,
Summer mimicked James' demeanor and how he usually portrayed himself.When Kyle entered the office, he was obviously startled by Summer's appearance. He greeted her reverently, saying, "Good morning, Ms. Charter.""Good morning. We've met a few times before. I believe Mr. Leroux has briefed you on why I've called you here today, right?""Yes. Mr. Leroux has informed me. It's about the design of Walsh Group's high-end villa," Kyle replied."Excellent. Our company has selected several talented architectural engineering designers for this project, and you are one of them. So, I have a few questions for you," Summer said seriously. Although she was unsuitable to be a serious person, she adopted this demeanor when it came to work.Kyle was clearly very nervous. Despite being around the same age as Summer, her presence seemed to demand seriousness from him. After all, he was eager to take up this project. He knew the significance of being entrusted with a project for Walsh Group. Co
Summer had initially thought Kyle had finished speaking, but he clearly hadn't. Then, with his glasses flickering slightly in the light, he continued, "From a realistic standpoint, saving my girlfriend and not my mom is correct. "My mom is older, so her remaining lifespan will be shorter, whereas my girlfriend's will be longer. Therefore, she can spend more time with me. From that perspective, it makes more sense for me to save my girlfriend."Kyle gave a detailed analysis of the question. At least, as an architectural engineering designer thinking about resource efficiency, his answer was satisfactory.However, in terms of character, there was still much to consider. Why had Summer asked such a question? Her main purpose was to take into consideration the other party's personality. At least, in terms of morality, Kyle's approach was still unsatisfactory. When Summer was ready to dismiss him, she noticed Kyle's behavior seemed a little strange. He lowered his head, appearing
"Summie, you're back," James called out.Since he had greeted her, Summer had no choice but to approach him. She said, "Yep, I'm home. Are you working?""Yeah, I'm working. We've got some big orders lately, so I've been busy with overtime," James replied.James indeed had work to do. Summer had initially intended to talk to him about that day's events, but seeing that he was occupied, she decided to postpone their conversation.She waved her hands and said, "I'll take a shower first. I'll come back later when you're free."Summer turned and walked out slowly. However, before she could leave the room, she suddenly felt a strong force pulling her back. A pair of strong arms had wrapped around her waist and carried her up. Summer immediately found herself hanging in midair before she fell onto the bed.Looking back, she found James, who had carried her in bridal style onto the bed.Summer became gloomy. She asked, "What do you think you're doing?""What do you think?" James scoo
"Let's chat, shall we? I don't feel like working anymore," James coaxed her.Summer felt he had become spoiled. Ever since they had started living together, he seemed to dislike working and preferred spending time with her all day long instead.Summer expressed her deep concern about this. She knew James was the type to prioritize love over career. However, she didn't want to be a bad influence, causing disaster with her beauty. So, she warned, "James, you need to focus on your work. You can't neglect your work just because we're together." Perhaps fearing James would not take her words seriously, she added sternly, "I won't pay attention to you if you don't take your work seriously."This statement was obviously effective. Upon hearing that Summer might ignore him, James immediately straightened up and vowed, "I definitely won't hold up my work. I promise!""That's good. I will review Quigley Group's annual profit report. If Quigley Group suffers a loss, I will ignore you!"S
Suddenly, James leaned in and kissed Summer. His long tongue entered her mouth assertively. Summer was caught off guard and found herself once again taken advantage of.She hastily pushed him away, covering her mouth with her hands. She exclaimed, "Despicable!""What does it matter if I'm despicable to you? You're already mine anyway," James retorted."Who belongs to you? Shame on you," Summer replied."You do," James said. With one hand pulling Summer close by her shoulders, and the other hand on her lower back, James leaned in slowly. It seemed that he had mischievous intentions again!But this time, James wanted to kiss her on her neck, not her lips. Upon realizing it, Summer was startled, and she immediately restrained him with both hands. He was obviously unprepared. Plus, Summer acted with a strong force, so she accidentally pushed his head down into the quilt.He struggled for a moment with both hands in the air before suddenly fainting. His body became motionless. Sum
