Cecily turned to look at the dark clouds through the windows.She seemed slightly aggrieved as she murmured, "It's going to rain soon."She had already landed half an hour ago when she first texted Austin.Although she did not receive a reply from him, she did not leave.She had been abroad for three years. She wanted Austin to be the first person she saw. She also wanted a fresh start to her relationship with Austin.She had never thought the workaholic would have forgotten about her due to his work.After feeling sorry for herself, Cecily took a deep breath and smiled."It's nothing. Austin's just too hardworking."By the time Austin had rushed to the airport, another 40 minutes had passed.The dark clouds had finally given in as heavy rain poured down.He was drenched by the time he ran inside the airport. He immediately spotted the bored Cecily in the corner of the airport.After being apart for three years, Cecily did not change much in terms of appearance. She was st

They went to the Venus Restaurant.Austin's first time having Ashoden cuisine was in Venus Restaurant. Back then, Cecily was the one who had treated him to the meal.During their four years in university, Austin, Nancy, Cecily, and a few of their other friends would often go there to eat.Three years ago, Austin and Nancy had their farewell dinner with Cecily here before she went abroad.The restaurant was special to them."Hey, Workaholic? I didn't think you would still remember this place."Cecily tried to tidy her wet hair as she looked at the restaurant meaningfully."How could I forget?"Austin smiled bitterly.Cecily frowned. "But aren't you being too stingy? "You're the vice president of a property development company now. I just came back from being abroad. How can you bring me here?"Although she had been abroad for the past three years, she had always kept close tabs on Austin and Nancy.Otherwise, she would not have sent Austin a message questioning him when he

"Sure."Cecily did not reject his suggestion, nor did she mention anything about paying the bill instead.She understood Austin's current situation. All of his hard-earned money had gone to Nancy and his mother's treatment.He wouldn't be living in a rented place if that wasn't the case.However, she didn't want to hurt Austin's pride just because she felt sympathetic toward him.He didn't want Austin to think she believed he could not afford to pay.A man's pride was a fragile little thing.The car's engine started. The light in the car was dim.Cecily suddenly asked, "Oh, right. How's your mom doing?""She's doing well," Austin said.Cecily frowned. "I know all about your situation. I can help you. No, I can help Mrs. Emerson.""I've already thought of a way. My mum is in the process of recovery. She might be released from the hospital soon," Austin said."Really? That's great."Cecily smiled happily. "Austin, you're amazing! Did you know I've always admired you when we

Cecily left the hotel early in the morning. She headed over to her father's supply company to take over the business.The small supply company was nothing compared to her father's family business.The company was her father's first company. He wanted to keep it as a reminder for nostalgic purposes. He would not have chosen to further expand the company if that weren't the case.Austin was working for Dominion Properties. She wanted to involve herself in the real estate industry. That way, she would be able to help Austin.After visiting his mother, Austin headed over to the company.Matt came into his office hurriedly with a stack of documents."Austin, there's a serious matter here that needs your input."Matt put down his documents and said, "Due to the slum renovation being too big of a project, we wanted to find the best supply company to supply us with materials."However, due to Dominion's qualifications, the supply company has been hesitant to work with us."Austin lo

Dave Horton placed a file of documents before Cecily. He smiled kindly and said, "Cecily, you've been working too hard. You should take a rest.""It's alright."Cecily noticed the file and turned to look at Dave. "Mr. Horton, what are these documents about?"Dave was lost in a trance when he saw Cecily's beautiful face.He quickly returned to his senses and said, "These are the details about the collaboration with Dominion Properties. It is also currently our company's most urgent project.""Dominion?"Cecily quickly picked up the documents and read through the files. She remembered that Austin was working as Dominion's vice president.Dave reported, "Last month, Dominion had managed to score for the west city slum redevelopment project. They've been very lucky. "Not long after scoring the project, Wirtucon Corporation announced they would be moving into our city. "They even chose to move to the west city slums, effectively increasing the prices of the properties there."

Around lunchtime, Austin was prepared to leave the company.He was about to head to Yandell Corp to talk about the contract.Suddenly, Matt rushed into his office."Austin, something's happened!"Austin frowned and took a sip of his drink. "What happened?""The president of Yandell Corp is here," Matt said.Austin immediately spat out the water in his mouth. He was dumbfounded.No wonder Matt looked so anxious.Yandell Corp was the best supplier of building materials in the city. They had long-term collaborations with the top ten property development companies.Dominion was like a small fly in Yandell's eyes. Although they were working on the west city slum redevelopment project, they should be the ones to head over to Yandell for negotiations."Let me take a look."Austin got up and followed Matt.In Dominion's lounge, Dave was frowning as he looked at the contract in his hand.Cecily had mentioned mutual benefits and dismissed his big plan.Due to the big price increm

Austin patted Matt on the shoulder.In fact, he had guessed it.Just as he had told Matt, they had helped Dominion Properties build a good foundation. He wouldn't forget this huge favor.After the completion of the project, Dominion's position in the city's real estate industry would definitely change significantly.In the future, Dominion would have many more collaborations with Yandell.If he had to say, perhaps the new president had a more ambitious vision than Dave.However, this slum redevelopment contract made him feel that his own ideas were a bit far-fetched.They lowered the price by thirty percent, and that really wasn't a small amount!Feeling puzzled, Austin returned to his office and sat down.Bang!Matt rushed in again in a hurry, "Austin, Dave is back again, he wants to change… change the contract!"Austin immediately felt a bit annoyed.He had just signed the contract, and now he wanted to change it again?Did he think they were kids?Before he could even

After hesitating for a moment, Austin suppressed the urge to tell Cecily.He glanced at Cecily, who was focused on the road, and smiled, "Cecily, I will give you a surprise in a while."Cecily was his friend, and they should be honest with each other about many things.Austin didn't want Cecily to feel even a hint of sympathy toward him because of what he experienced in the past month."A surprise?" Cecily raised an eyebrow, but she didn't inquire further.Instead, she nodded and smiled. "Sure, I'm looking forward to it."The car entered the parking lot of Legacy Hospital.After getting out of the car, Cecily asked Austin to help her carry her stuff.When Austin opened the trunk, he was stunned.The entire trunk was filled to the brim with baskets of fruits and supplements."This is my first time visiting Madam Emerson, so I can't be impolite. I randomly bought some stuff, but I'm not sure if Madam Emerson will like them," Cecily said with a smile.Austin felt hurt for a sec
