Staring at Neil from behind, Taya paused in place. She hadn’t expected the first project her sister took on to be from the NASA She wasn’t afraid of going on a site visit, she feared… Stella did mention that Griffon was at the National Space Administration. If they were to run into each other… With a glance at Taya to see that she had her head lowered as if to be deeply in thought, Harper seemed to understand what she was worried about. She comforted her. “Taya, don’t worry, the NASA is huge, you’ll probably not run into…” That was right. Griffon was in charge of spaceflight, while she was in charge of construction.
How could it be possible for two different types of work to be at the same workplace? She was overthinking. Taya put away her thoughts and asked, “Harper, do you want to come with me?” Although Harper wanted to visit the National Space Administration, she waved. “I won’t go. Things are pretty busy at the nightclub. I can’t leave.” With that, Harper reminded Taya once more like a child. “Taya, Neil is unreliable. You must pay more attention to safety and protect yourself when you are abroad, do you understand?” Holding her arm, Taya helplessly replied, “Okay, I get it…” Harper tousled her short hair with a smile and urged her to pack her things up, shooing Taya upstairs.
Taya selected some clothes, put them in the box, and opened the bag she brought back from the hospital. When she wanted to get her ID from her bag, she caught a glimpse of the unmate certificate. Taya went still before she raised her fair hand to take out the unmate certificate. Slowly, she unfolded it. Staring at the photoshopped photo of the two of them for a few moments before placing it back into the drawer. In her whole life, she owed Silas too much, and there was no possible way for her to pay it off. To make sure he wouldn’t inflict her, however, he chose to leave and never keep in touch. Since she couldn’t return to her youth and love him wholeheartedly, it was best for her to keep her guilt in her heart forever, and not bother him again as the best repayment for him… Taya locked the drawer. Just like to seal the past, the certificate was sealed in a closed space, no longer as easily reachable. After sorting out her emotions and packing her stuff, she went downstairs with the suitcase. Neil was waiting outside the villa. Seeing her coming out, he drove the car up to her, picked her up and went straight to the airport. There was an anxious look on Neil’s face, as if the project would flee on its legs if he was any slower. On the highway, he sped all the way as if he couldn’t wait to be sent flying into the sky. Taya was dizzy all the way to the airport. Suppressing her nausea, she followed him from behind, checked in, pa*sed through customs, and settled down in the waiting hall. After a brief rest, she took out her phone and tapped on the WhatsApp icon to take a look. Greyson still hadn’t responded to her message… “What a coward!” cursed Taya in her heart. She opened her contacts and called the other party, only to receive an automated reply to say that the phone was in a state of shutdown. She was grinding her teeth with anger, but she refused to give up, continuing to send him messages to meet.
She decided to send Greyson texts every day. She refused to believe that he would never reply. With that, she switched to the bank transfer app to see that someone had transferred an amount of money into her account. She tapped on it and took a look, finding that it was Harper who sent her the money. Just as she was about to call Harper, she noticed a text from her. “Taya, when you’re away from home, you can’t do without money. Don’t try transferring it back to me, your account has been blocked.” When Taya saw the text, her heart warmed as she typed her reply, “I’ll pay it back when I’ve earned tons of money.” On the other end of the line, Harper had the corners of her lips twitched slightly. Her gaze fell on the document bag, a little dazed. After Silas left, he sent Nora to return all the properties. There was other stuff meant for Taya…. Harper had wanted to give it to Taya, but Silas hoped that she would hand it over to Taya on the day Taya got mated. After thinking about it, she followed Sila s’s wish and decided against returning all the items to Taya. All she did was take out the bank card Taya had left for her few years ago from the bag. She pooled the twenty-five out of it into one million before transferring the money to Taya. Expenses in Washington were high, so she hoped that Taya wouldn’t have to suffer without money. When the plane arrived in Washington, Taya was so tired that her whole body ached. Neil showed no response, continuing to maintain a symmetrical posture for more than ten hours. After getting off the plane, he took her to the hotel… It seemed that he often visited Washington on business trips and was very familiar with the place.
There wasn’t even the need for anyone to welcome their arrival at the airport. Seeing that he was introduced to the place, Taya was relieved. After all, she was still a little terrified at the idea of visiting a foreign country. After Neil checked in, he handed the room card to Taya. “You have a good rest tonight. We’ll only be visiting the National Space Administration tomorrow.” Taya nodded and couldn’t help inquiring after taking the room card over, “If we do a site visit, do we have to enter the National Space Administration?” Neil led her towards the room, and replied, “I don’t know. It’s up to the client.” Taya frowned slightly, a little worried that she would meet Griffon. On second thought, however, so what if she ran into him? There was nothing to fear. Thinking of that, her worry gradually faded away. Taya carried the suitcase and entered the hotel room. The moment she closed the door, she walked up to the window. They were staying in the penthouse suites of the most luxurious hotel in Washington. Standing at the window, they could overlook the night view of the bustling city. Majestic high-rise buildings were dotted with bright lights and vibrancy, a wonderful and breathtaking sight. Looking from a distance, there were criss cross streets, vehicles shuttling, and pedestrians coming and going. The traffic was busy within her panoramic view. Taya’s tension eased at such a view. After a stretch, she turned and entered the bathroom to wash up… After bathing her tired body, she took out Rosalie’s album and briefly studied her style. Only then could she sleep at ease. The next day, before eight, Neil knocked on her door, urging her to get up as they would be heading over to the National Space Administration. Taya hurriedly got up to brush up, picked out a red dress, put on delicate and elegant makeup, and opened the door. Neil happened to come out of the opposite room. At the sight of her dressed up, he was slightly shocked. “Why are you imitating your sister?” “I’m using her identity, so I’m afraid of being exposed.” Neil put on a stiff smile and smiled helplessly. “Your sister has never shown her face. Everyone only knows her name, but not what she looks like.” After Rosalie’s a*sistant accepted the project, he would usually be a*signed to site visits. As long as he conveyed the data he surveyed and the style the other party wanted, it was no longer before she could produce a near-perfect drawing. Yet, Rosalie was only responsible for drawing.
She wouldn’t care about the end results of her drawings on software. The follow-up work would be conducted by staff of the construction company, so there wasn’t any need for Rosalie to contact her clients. Taya could do the same, but since Taya knew very little about the construction industry, it was only better if she could inspect everything right from the source. Hearing that Rosalie had never shown her face, Taya breathed a sigh of relief. “I was really worried that I’d be discovered.” Not being bothered, Neil put away his stiff smile and said “Let’s go” before leading her to the National Space Administration.
