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

Maybe it was the alcohol talking, but Kyle blurted out everything that he'd otherwise be too afraid to confess. He was a very competent architect. Since he was able to lead an entire team on his own for both projects, his abilities spoke for themselves.It was only natural that he wanted to leave. No capable individual was willing to stay in a position that didn't serve them.Before Summer joined the company, he'd already considered resigning. He only put it off for a period of time because he was still unsure about the decision. There were plenty of outstanding architects in big companies, so he would be pitting himself against fierce competition. Leaving Charter Corporation might land him in a worse position, but what future could he have if he stayed?Since he was stuck at an impasse, her request was like a ray of hope to him. Because of this, he made a firm decision to stay with Charter Corporation.Many have gone through the same process. When Hank leaked confidential docume

The last time she drank with James, she had downed a bottle of wine that was worth millions. Afterward, she had been upset about it for quite some time as well. Excluding that incident, the last time she got drunk was at her university's alumni reunion. She was just as intoxicated as she was at the moment. Despite that, the reunion was filled with fond memories. She was able to drink and reminisce with the people she liked before heading home happily. With her foot on the clutch, Summer burped and started the car. Then, she drove back to the Beaut Moon residential area. The shadows of the trees by the road flickered as she drove past.The moon hung low in the sky, and a cold breeze cut through the air. The wind on her face felt nice. It was as though she was soaking in a saltwater bath—cool and refreshing.However, the effects of the alcohol did not wear off because of this. Her eyes were blurry, and she seemed to be seeing double. Even the traffic light seemed to have split in

Summer buried her head in his chest and fell silent for a while. Then, she gradually calmed down. This was a traffic incident, so she probably needed to report it. Summer didn't have any experience in this area, so she asked, "What am I supposed to do, James? I just got into an accident because I was drunk driving."If she remembered correctly, driving while intoxicated was illegal. She may even have to go to jail. The thought of that scared her.James caressed her hair and said softly, "Calm down. Let me take you home. I'll take care of the rest, okay?""I don't need to contact the police?""No.""Then… What will happen to the car? The street is ruined, too." She still seemed quite worried. She was a law-abiding citizen and had never been involved in any sort of accident in her entire life. She had a couple of drinks, but she didn't think anything was going to happen. Contrary to her belief, an accident had occurred.Summer grew anxious and looked at James, looking upset.

Upon hearing this, Summer's expression soured. What was he making such a big deal out of this for? Despite everything, she decided to let it go. James was like a glacier. He probably said all that because he didn't know how to express his concern for her.She took the drink from Lexi and took a sip. She'd never tasted anything like this before. Horrible was an understatement—this drink might as well be unfit for human consumption! She'd only taken a sip, and she already felt like throwing up. In spite of that, she suppressed the feeling and handed the bottle back to Lexi. "I can't drink this, Lexi. Throw out the rest.""Are you sure?" The latter felt reluctant to do so. She held the bottle and said in a pitiful tone, "Mr. Quigley put in extra effort to get this for you, Mrs. Quigley. "Wouldn't it be a waste to just throw the rest away? He'll feel extremely upset if he finds out."At first, Summer didn't think much of throwing this awful concoction away. But after what Lexi s

James arrived at the Quigley residence and opened the door, only to find that this so-called family dinner was not what it seemed.There was no one else at the dining table besides Caroline. The only other person he saw was Suzanne.Upon seeing this setup, James knew what was going on. Caroline was clearly trying to match him with Suzanne and arranged this scene, using the so-called family dinner as a ploy. Realizing there was no need to stay for dinner, James turned to leave without saying a word.Upon seeing this, Caroline immediately tried to stop him. "James, what are you doing? Aren't you going to come and eat?"Caroline's words had no effect on James, who was never one to listen to others, not even his own mother. But Caroline had prepared for this and ordered bodyguards to block the entrance. As James walked out the door, two bodyguards respectfully made a gesture of invitation."Mr. Quigley, Madam has instructed that you cannot leave."James scorned in response. With a sw

Caroline knew what her son was thinking and understood that he didn't want to stay, but she had her own ways of dealing with him. "James, are you so unwilling to stay? Is it too much to ask for you to come back once a week to spend time with your mother?""No." James was cold-hearted by nature and didn't have a strong attachment to his family. However, he didn't want to be labeled as unfilial. Besides, the Quigley family had raised him, and Caroline had treated him well since he was young. He didn't want to hurt her feelings.Since Caroline asked him to stay, James stayed for a meal. After all, it was just a meal; nothing would happen. James turned back and sat down in a chair.With that, everyone was finally together. Caroline and Suzanne exchanged looks of delight, knowing that their plan was successful.In fact, Caroline had gone to great lengths to get Suzanne and James together. Recently, Suzanne had said that things weren't going well with James. Upon hearing this, Caroline

Time seemed to stand still, and everything was frozen in place. This meal was doomed to end with no resolution.A forced relationship would never bring happiness. Even though Caroline liked Suzanne, forcing her and James to be together was impossible. James would never allow it.Meanwhile, Summer was enjoying a delightful afternoon tea with Kelly. They sat on high stools in front of the coffee shop with soft, beautiful music playing in the background.They had ordered two cups of mocha, each with a delicate latte art design on the surface. In such an environment, it was naturally pleasing to the eyes."How's work been going lately, Kelly?" Summer asked. Usually, she would invite Kelly out for a drink and chat every month.Since she got married, Summer's time had become much more limited. On top of that, running a company made it hard for her to go out whenever she wanted, like she used to. In order to maintain their friendship and keep them from drifting apart, Summer decided to m
