"Summer must be the reason why James is treating me like this." That was the only reason Suzanne could think of. James wanted to distance himself from her because of Summer.James made the excuse that he couldn't meet Suzanne because he was busy with work. It was clearly a lie. The Xomus Tower was Quigley Group's most important construction project currently. As the CEO, James was in the best position to handle the project.Just as Suzanne was still sulking over the matter, her secretary announced from outside, "Ms. Camberwell, Mr. Nash from the Quigley Group is here to see you."Perfect timing, Suzanne thought, since Andy's visit was likely due to the Xomus Tower project. She decided to meet him to discuss the project. Rising with composure, she exited her office and headed to the conference room.Andy, a distinguished gentleman in a suit, greeted Suzanne upon her arrival. "Hello, Ms. Camberwell," he said politely.Andy wasn't young anymore, with noticeable wrinkles around his

"So what? These two companies have always been competing with the Camberwell Group. Allowing them to operate under the Camberwells' property would undermine our family's reputation. I refuse to allow that," Suzanne stated firmly.Her abrupt change in attitude left Andy puzzled. Moments ago, their conversation had been warm and pleasant, but now Suzanne's tone had become sharp and resolute. This was a troubling sign.Andy had thought that the discussion would be smooth. After all, James had told him that this business was practically a done deal, with just a few details left to iron out. All Andy had to do was finish the job, which was a simple task.Unfortunately, Andy felt challenged. The discussions were far more complicated than he had anticipated. As a business veteran, Andy would not back down without a fight. His tone softened as he spoke, "Ms. Camberwell, Bellanova Enterprise, and Lumina Solutions were set up by large foreign conglomerates. While their current investment

The next day, James went to the Camberwell Group's office in the afternoon. Upon seeing his arrival, Suzanne greeted him warmly with a bright smile. Clicking in her three-inch heels, she walked toward him gracefully."I miss you, James." Suzanne leaned in close, hoping to embrace him like a koala hugging a tree. However, James dodged sideways and successfully avoided Suzanne's embrace. She lost her balance and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Suzanne reacted quickly and steadied herself. Otherwise, she might have made a fool of herself in public.James lowered his gaze and said flatly, "Ms. Camberwell, let's talk about the Xomus Tower project. I heard you had some problems with the tenant's selection." James appeared notably stern. Sensing something amiss, Suzanne suppressed her initial impulse to joke with him and adopted a serious tone. "There are some issues with the Xomus Tower project. Perhaps we should sit down and discuss?""Okay." With that, they walked in

"James, don't be shy. There's no one here, and I've shut the windows tight. No one will see us," Suzanne said as she moved closer to James. Her fair fingers slid across his neck, and she began to caress his handsome face. "James, you know I like you, right? Even though you have a wife, I still like you. So, can I..." Suzanne leaned in, her pink lips inching closer to James'. The spark between them felt like it could ignite at any moment.Suddenly, James raised his hand and created a barrier between them. As Suzanne was about to kiss him, he pushed her away with his palm. "Ms. Camberwell, what do you think you're doing?" James asked coldly."James, I should be the one asking you that!" Suzanne felt a surge of frustration. She had been so close to kissing him, only to be stopped at the last moment. Suzanne stomped her foot in anger. She couldn't understand what James was thinking. They were in a secluded office with the curtains drawn—no one could see them. Yet, James had pushe

Suzanne refused to accept Bellanova Enterprise and Lumina Solutions as tenants because they were controlled by a large foreign company, Ecole Finance.Ecole Finance and Camberwell Group were fierce competitors in the electronics industry. To win against their opponent, the Camberwells fought many battles with Ecole Finance. Even in the cosmetics sector, where the Camberwell family had no involvement, they sought ways to sideline their rival. However, the strategy was simplistic; the cost of defeating their opponent might negate any gains."Ms. Camberwell, there are no permanent friends in the business world, even in longstanding relationships like the Camberwell and Quigley family. I've heard about your company's dealings with Ecole Finance. "Even if you exclude their two brands from our building, they are still going to set up shop elsewhere in Rosseera City. Not only would we miss out on the opportunity to earn their money, but it could also divert foot traffic away from us."

Suzanne put on an innocent look like the sweet girl next door that would captivate any man's heart. However, James was unfazed. He gathered his documents and turned to leave, seeing no reason to stay any longer since their discussion was over."James, what are you doing?" Suzanne immediately called out and tried to stop him from leaving."I have other matters to attend to," James replied icily, not even bothering to look back as he reached for the doorknob.Suzanne wasn't about to let him leave so easily. She quickly jumped up from her chair and hurried after him.Finally, Suzanne managed to catch up with James in the spacious, well-lit corridor along the hallway. She grabbed James' arm and said, "Hold on, James. What's the hurry? Can't you stay a while longer with me?" "Why?" James turned to her, his eyes cold and indifferent, as if he were looking at an object rather than a person. He clearly didn't see Suzanne as anyone special and treated her more like a stranger.The way

Upon hearing this, Suzanne's expression stiffened. She knew James had no feelings for her, but she didn't expect him to reject her so cruelly.When he walked past her on his way out of the Camberwell building, she started screaming. "Do you like Summer Charter that much, James? Are you sure you don't have the slightest interest in me?"Her voice was deafening. She sounded like a lone wolf that was crying into the night. At the same moment, everyone in the hallway looked over. Since she was the CEO of Camberwell Group, they recognized her at first glance. Many started gossiping as their own CEO argued with the head of Quigley Group. A while later, the quiet hallway began to fill up with people. The number of spectators gradually grew. Everyone was offering their take on the matter. Some said that Suzanne was a home wrecker who was trying to ruin Summer and James' relationship. Others claimed that James didn't like Summer and was here to meet with Suzanne in secret. There were

The villa was grand and elegant—it aligned well with Walsh Group's themes of comfort and nature. A while later, Bradly also came to take a look himself. He was very pleased with the construction and gave the team high praise. Because of this, he paid the commission fee for the first phase in its entirety swiftly after. They received 50 million as a design fee just like that. Following this, there was another final payment of 50 million that would be given when phase three of the project was completed.To celebrate the win, Summer has surprisingly decided to treat everyone to a meal. All the staff and architects in the company were invited to dinner at a hotel's banquet hall. The celebration was incredibly grand. There was an impressive spread of food and alcohol with plenty of singing and dancing. The entire venue was filled with joy and laughter. Summer was dressed in a white maxi skirt and a black tee. She stood on the stage and started speaking as though she was an emcee fr
