“Griffon, you promised me that you’d give me the chance to try to win you over. Is this the way you treat your suitor?” Facing Jessica’s question, Griffon’ handsome face was gloomy. “Three months, the time is up, you can get out.” Jessica’s heart suffocated, rendered helpless looking at Griffon’ icy cold face. Back then, the condition she had put forward was to be given three years to win his heart, but he allowed only three months. As if to have planned it well, he hid in the NASA, not showing up for an entire three months. When he had finally shown himself again, the three-month due was up. As expected of the president of the Knight pack, he was indeed calculative. Yet, what did it matter? As long as she made up her mind to win someone over, Jessica would never care about how the other party felt. Jessica knew that he had always been indifferent, so she wasn’t at all bothered by his previous rude behavior.
She let go of the elevator door, and without saying a word, looked at Griffon with a confident smile up till the moment the elevator closed.
In school, she had never had the chance to approach him, but right then as they were acquainted, she was guaranteed to take him down with her means! Griffon didn’t take Jessica seriously at all. All he could feel was
loathe. While frantically wiping his fingers, he got out of the elevator and hurried to the administrative area. Ryder is sitting in a swivel chair, on the phone to arrange a dinner for the two designers that night. As soon as the arrangements were made, he looked up to see the president entering his humble office. He wasted no time hanging up the phone and getting up from the chair, respectfully stretching out his hand for a handshake. “Alpha Knight, you…”
Griffon didn’t wait for him to exchange greetings as he cut Ryder off with an icy voice, “Where’s the person who just came to see you?” Ryder retracted his hand in embarrassment, replying, “Ms. Carmine and Mr. Sherwood. They’re heading for the
construction site.” Griffon twitched his thick eyebrows. Taya’s current identity was Rosalie’s, while Rosalie was an internationally famous architect. It happened that the NASA was planning the expansion of a new building, so Taya might have accepted the expansion project of the National Space Administration, disguising as her sister. After understanding the purpose of her visit to the NASA, he raised his cold gaze to Ryder once more. “You’re arranging a dinner for the designers?” Ryder was briefly stunned before he came to realize that Griffon had overheard his phone call. Assuming that Griffon would need their help in designing his mansion, he knowingly offered. “Would you like to join us, Alpha Knight?”
After Jenny brought them to the construction site, Neil began his measurements, while Taya followed him from behind, jotting down notes and studying. Neil was professional in the architectural aspect. He could easily simplify terms that were tough to understand with a few words. Under his guidance, Taya embodied the knowledge she had learned. After mastering it, she had a clearer understanding of the foundation, main structure, architectural decoration, building roof, and supporting engineering facilities. They busied themselves around the construction site until four o’clock in the afternoon, and when Jenny was about to send them back, she received a call from Ryder. Jenny knew what Ryder was up to. Through the rearview mirror, she glanced at Taya held onto the blueprint with her head lowered, working on a drawing. Taking advantage of her gentleness and kindness, she asked the duo sitting in the back row with her usual soft voice, “Ms. Carmine, Mr. Sherwood, to welcome you, our NASA has specially hosted a dinner tonight. We look forward to your participation.”
Hearing this, Taya’s fingers paused before looking sideways at Neil after making up her mind, “You go, I’m in a hurry to sketch, so I won’t join.” Neil was about to nod when Jenny said, “Ms. Carmine, please join us. There are many members of our bureau eager to meet the talented designer who is rumored to be ranked number one in the world. Please give them a chance.” Taya had wanted to reject the kind offer, but Jenny showed a gentle and harmless smile. “Ms. Carmine, this dinner is specially held for you. The hotel is booked, and everyone is waiting at the dinner venue. If I don’t bring you over, I’m afraid I won’t be able to explain myself.” Taya was terrified at the idea of Ryder attending the dinner, but with a troubled expression on her face,
Jenny continued, “Ms. Carmine, are you worried about Mr. Ryder? Don’t worry, he’s usually not one to participate in such dinner parties…” After having listened to Jenny saying so, Taya was too embarrassed to reject the invitation even if she was against the party, so she reluctantly nodded.
