Neil’s clenched fist hardened once more. The projects Rosalie had taken on in the past were of a much higher status than the NASA. Wherever he went on a site visit, the chief person in charge would welcome and entertain them warmly. Who would have thought that the staff of the NASA were so arrogant? If it wasn’t for Rosalie’s project, he would have dragged Taya away right that instant, regardless of the liquidated damages.
While Neil seething, Taya politely requested, “Then Mr. R please send someone to take us to the project site.”” Reluctantly, Ryder made a phone call before a lady named Jenny walked in. When Jenny led the two of them out of the administrative center, Ryder remained to stare at Taya from behind, his eyes with a lewd smile sliding from head to toe.
At the sight of her slender fair legs, the desire to push Taya onto a bed could no longer conceal itself in his eyes… After they left the building, they walked out through the side door of the National Space Administration. When they got into the car, Taya habitually looked out the window. Just in time, she saw a figure in the NASA, hurrying towards the administrative center building… He was wearing a black expensive suit, as always, handsome and austere, exuding a cold, icy aura. On the beautiful face, the facial features protruding and standing out as if carved by Go d, were so delicate that they could send one’s heart trembling. The eyes that had initially been fixed on the administrative center turned to glance in the direction of the car. Taya was taken aback. Her instinctive reaction was to look at the car window. Seeing that there was a thick layer of tint, she heaved a sigh of relief. The man didn’t seem to notice that she was in the car. In indifference, he withdrew his gaze and resumed his hurried steps in the direction of the administrative center. In long strides, he crossed the steps and was about to enter when he was hugged from behind. Griffon could tell that it was a woman.
His body froze at the thought of how it could be Taya as his heart missed a beat. Taya in the car was slightly suffocated when she saw who the woman holding him was. She remembered that two months ago, Jessica had brought up her intention of winning Griffon over. Right then as the two were hugging each other, she should probably have succeeded. The corner of Taya’s lips slightly twitched before a relieved smile appeared on her face… They did not owe each other again for that lifetime. He started a new life, so she should be giving her blessings. “Sorry, the construction site is a little remote, I don’t know the way.” Jenny was plotting the route in the car for a long time. After apologizing, she started the car engine and drove to leave the NASA… Griffon was briefly stunned. Once the scent of the strong perfume wafted into his nostrils, he was certain that Taya would never use perfume with such a strong piercing smell. Sensing that something was wrong, he immediately turned. Seeing that the woman hugging him was Jessica, his expression darkened. With a push, there was a flash of disgust in his cold eyes, originating from the very core of his bones. Noticing the revulsion in his eyes, Jessica was displeased. “Griffon, didn’t I just give you a hug? What is that look?” Griffon shot her a cold glance as he suppressed his anger and took off his suit jacket to throw it straight into the trash can. He reached for a dozen wet wipes from the front desk and wiped his hands while walking into the elevator without even turning his head. His subconscious action stunned Jessica, but unwillingly, she chased after him and stuck his hand in the elevator door that was about to close. 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 embarra*sment, 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 embarra*sed to reject the invitation even if she was against the party, so she reluctantly nodded.
