With Greyson making his moves in the dark, there was potential danger for Taya any time, so they must get him caught the fastest they could. Only by sending him to prison and locking him up for years could they feel at ease. When the full-time driver, Neil, saw the two of them head for the emergency, sighed helplessly, and followed.
The wound was mild. After a brief treatment, the three left the hospital. Neil decided to help them till the end, so he sent the two single ladies back home and stopped in for dinner. When Harper and Taya were discussing how to lure Greyson out, Neil, who was engrossed in eating, vaguely mumbled the words, “Lead the snake out of the hole.” Harper had wanted to reject the idea. After all, they had used the method few years ago, but Taya was a step faster in saying, “Now he knows that I’m alive, he’s guaranteed to come to me again. Since I can’t be guarding against him all the time, I have to take the initiative to lure him out.” As the thought crossed her mind, Taya set her utensils aside and withdrew her phone to scroll through her phone log. After removing Greyson from the blacklist, Taya logged into WhatsApp and clicked on the accept button of the friend request. Staring at Greyson’s avatar, she gave it some thought before typing the message for Greyson… “Greyson, since you know I’m still alive, let’s agree on a time to meet and make everything clear to each other.”
The message sent by Taya was simple and direct, an invitation to meet. According to Greyson’s mind, he naturally knew that she wanted to catch him. Since he wanted S** with her, he would pounce on the chance to meet. Taya planned to lodge a police report as soon as the appointment was made. On the day of the meeting, she refused to believe that he would be able to escape if the police tagged along! Harper was still a little worried. “I’m afraid he won’t have the guts to show up like before, else I’d have caught him long ago.” Taya put the phone aside, saying with a frown, “I’ll think about another plan if he dares not show up. Let’s try this for the time being.” Harper nodded, catching sight of Neil who was about to empty the plate from the corner of her eyes. “Neil, can’t you save some food for Taya?” As if not to have heard her words, Neil picked up the last piece of beef and inserted it into his mouth, slowly chewing on it. Harper rolled her eyes in speechlessness before she turned her head sideways to Taya, and flashed her a soft smile. “I’ll cook you something special tonight.” Taya wasn’t too bothered by the food. She remained staring at her phone, waiting for notifications. How strange. According to Greyson’s character, he would reply in seconds as soon as she sent a text over. Several minutes had pa*sed, but there wasn’t a single reply from him. She wondered what he was thinking about? After enjoying himself to the fullest, Neil picked up his suit and got back up, reminding Taya, “Starting tomorrow, I’ll teach you basic drawing skills.” Hearing so, the nervous Taya lowered her phone, as if to pay attention to what Neil had to say next. “Is there anything I need to prepare?” Once again, Neil raised a perfectly symmetrical smile, saying stiffly, “Get your hands ready.” With a choke, Taya made up her mind to ignore him.
Neil glanced at her, then threw the suit on his shoulders, swaggering out of the villa. After he left, Taya gave the serva nts of Amon’s villa a call, requesting their help in sending the designs Amon had delivered home over. Amon had mentioned that he had sent Rosalie’s drawings, projects, and drafts back to the villa. Rosalie’s drawings had arrived long ago, but during the period she had been injured, she hadn’t had the time to pick. them up. She would start learning design drawing the next day. To avoid being lectured, she figured that it would be better for her to learn about Rosalie’s style in advance. The serv ant soon brought the stuff over. After Taya washed up, she lay on the bed and flipped through her sister’s drawings page by page. Only when she saw the drawings did she realize why her sister was at the top spot of the architecture world. The buildings designed by Rosalie were not only whimsical but beautiful and towering at the same time. The most important thing was that the drawings were truly futuristic and technological as if they came from another time and space, ahead of the future. It was no wonder Neil mentioned that buildings designed by her sister were landmarks that could represent each country and each city.
It might be a seemingly impossible task for her to accomplish Rosalie’s achievements, but… Taya found a pen, measuring ruler, and paper before she sat at the desk and began drawing on the paper. It was quite some time ago since she held a pen to compose a picture, but with her talent and skills, her drawings took shape with just a few sketches. With her head lowered, all her concentration was on the drawing. Shortly after, a unique house appeared on the paper without her realizing it. She set the pen on the table and took a look at the drawing, failing to believe her eyes… She had never drawn a design, but after seeing Rosalie’s drawing, she had a unique idea in her mind and could draw if out with a pen. Could it be that she, too, was talented in architectural design like her sister? In disbelief, Taya placed the pen side and proceeded to draw the next… During the process of drawing, her interest in architectural drawings was instantly piqued. The more she drew, the more excited she grew. She didn’t stop drawing until the next day when Neil came to the door. After a quick stretch, she went downstairs with her sketches. Neil was sitting on the sofa, with his legs crossed, arguing with Harper. “Can’t you even make me a cup of tea when I come to your house?” With her arms folded around her chest, Harper leaned against the wall, giving him a scoff and a cold side-eye. “Is your mouth even worthy of drinking my tea?” Taya walked over, interrupted their primary school-like bicker, and handed the sketches in her hand to Neil. “Mr. Sherwood, how do my drawings do?”Taya would call him Mr. Sherwood when she was in a good mood, and call him by his first name when she was in a bad mood.
Neil was used to it. To him, an idiot like Taya who didn’t even have any basic theoretical knowledge about architectural design would never be able to come up with any eye-catching drawings. Once he reached out to take the sketches over and saw the drawings, his breathing stopped as a burst of golden rays shot out from his eyes. “You drew them?!” He put down his crossed legs, a little excitedly, got up, and grabbed Taya’s injured hand. Taya gasped in pain and instinctively shoved him away. With her arm covered, she endured the severe pain and nodded to him. In incredulity, Neil glanced at Taya, then at the sketch, more pleasantly surprised with every look he took… “I thought that after your sister pa*sed away, there would never be another person as talented as her. I didn’t expect you to…” As if to have thought of the fact that he had taunted her for being an idiot, he withdrew the excitement on his face and pretended to nonchalantly take his seat. Seeing the look on his face as if he was holding his poop back, Harper couldn’t help laughing, saying, “I told you that Taya is excellent at drawing, but you wouldn’t believe my words. See the slap in the face?” If Taya hadn’t been anxious to earn money and given up on her job as an intern at a design institute with a salary of 3, 000 dollars, who knew what a powerful icon she would be right then in the design industry? Neil ignored Harper’s sarcasm and stared at the blueprint in his hand. After looking at it for a while, he hopped to his feet and decisively told Taya. “Pack up your things and follow me to Washington.” The stunned Taya blurted out asking, “What for?” Neil held the blueprint and strode to leave the villa, explaining, “The first project your sister took on was from the NASA. There’s no need for you to learn to draw, just follow me over for a site visit…”
