Right then, the National Space Administration was funding her project with about 10 million dollars. It was enough to repay Neil for the favor he had done her.
If not for his “eloquent” and “careful” teaching over the past couple of months, she wouldn’t have improved so fast.
After finishing all of that, Taya turned on the computer. She clicked on various construction-related software, and self-study videos.
She was a design student, so she had learned how to use all those software in school. She only had to review the process a
few times, and she should be able to remember it.
She was rushing to complete a project at that moment, and all she had was a sketch. After completing her sister’s projects, she had to continue taking on other projects as well.
Since that was the case, she had to go through the entire process from sketches to post-production renderings. That way, she could grasp every link faster and more clearly.
She continued studying until ten o’clock. In an attempt to take care of her eyes, she turned off the computer right on time, then got up and went back to the bedroom to rest. her who was in a light sleep.
She fumbled for the phone, glanced at it in a daze, and saw a message from Griffon.
He asked, “Are you awake, Taya?” Taya, who was under the blanket, turned over and typed while lying on her stomach.
“I’m up.”
He responded, “I’ll pick you up at nine o’clock.”Taya saw that it wasn’t nine yet, so she put down her phone, closed her eyes and went back to sleep.
However, Mandy was knocking on the door. “Dr. Cobb is here, Ms. Palmer.”
Even if Taya didn’t want to get up, she had no choice but to do so. “Mandy, tell Stella to wait for me in the living room for a while.”
Mandy gave an affirmative response. Taya lifted the quilt and got up quickly.
After cleaning herself up in the bathroom, she changed into a white shirt and light blue jeans. and used a rubber band to tie it into a bun.
Her clean and fresh face reflected in the mirror looked a bit playful and lovely.
She applied some lipstick, then hurriedly picked up her pace and walked downstairs to the living room.
Seeing her coming down, Stella handed the box of medicine to Taya. “This contains half a month’s worth of traditional medicine. I’ve prepared and packed them into pouches. You should avoid taking them with modern medicine. Take one pouch in the morning, afternoon and at night.”
After Taya took it, she said gratefully, “Thank you, Stella.”
Stella waved her hands. She raised her watch and looked at the time. “I’m going abroad for an academic seminar for the next few days. If you have any abnormal reactions after taking the medicine, just call me. I’ll send a doctor over to you.”
Once Stella was done giving instructions, she anxiously continued before Taya even got a chance to speak. “I have a flight to catch, so I’ll need to get going now.”
Taya hurriedly put the box on the table and grabbed Stella’s arm. “I’ll see you out.”
The two walked across the garden together. After steppin the villa, Taya saw a Bentley parked at the door. In front of the car door stood a man in a light gray suit with a clean. appearance.
He had a gentle temperament and a good looking face. He looked young as if he had just graduated from university.
When he saw the two coming out, he looked at Taya politely. His gaze was clear, and when he turned to Stella, his eyes lit up.
Taya quickly caught on to what was going on, flashing a meaningful smile as she glanced at Stella. “Who is this?”
Stella was older than Taya, so she was not embarra*sed at all.
Instead, she introduced Henry to Taya. “A doctor in my hospital, Henry Brown.”
After introducing him, she said to Henry, “This is my good friend, Taya Palmer.” Henry flashed a gentle smile and stretched out a friendly hand
toward Taya. “Hello.”
As soon as Taya raised her hand to shake it, Stella stopped her. “Stop. I don’t want to be hunted down by Alpha Knight.” Initially, Taya wanted to make fun of Stella, but she didn’t expect the tables to be turned yet again.
She didn’t know what to say so she had to retract her fingers in an embarra*sed manner. She gave Henry a slight nod. “Hello.”
After a brief meeting, Stella told Taya, “Dr. Brown and I are going to catch our flight now.”
“Okay,” Taya replied. When she saw Henry opening the door to the pa*senger’s seat for Stella, and then carefully fastening her seat belt, Taya was a little confused.
The two of them seemed to be more than just colleagues, especially Henry, who was looking at Stella with desire staining his gentle gaze.
Stella, on the other hand, was going abroad to hold a seminar with Henry alone. Obviously, she wanted to give Henry a chance to pursue her. What about Eric, then?
What would happen if Eric found out? Taya stood at the entrance of the villa for a while before Griffon’ car pulled up in front of her.
He rolled down the car window. Sunlight poured into the car, revealing his well-defined face with a pair of black sungla*ses resting on the bridge of his nose. Taya couldn’t see the look in his eyes as he tilted his head to look at her.
He pushed the door open and got out of the car. His tall and stalwart figure dwarfed Taya.
Through the sungla*ses, he lowered his gaze and carefully looked at the woman in front of him, who was the embodiment of pure
desire. “Taya, today, you….”
He bent down and tilted his head slightly, leaning close to her ear. In a charming voice, he muttered, “You look beautiful.”
Taya raised her hand to cover her ears, blocking his scorching breath with the back of her hand.
“You… Can you stop getting so close every time you speak? It’s not like I can’t hear you clearly…” she grumbled. His thin, pursed lips
He affectionately rubbed her round head as he commented, “Your hair has grown longer.”
It wouldn’t be long until he could see her with waist-length hair. Hopefully, he would live long enough to see it.
He grabbed Taya’s hand, who didn’t say a word, and opened the pa*senger door to let her get in the car. He took out a bouquet of flowers from the trunk and handed it to her.
When Taya saw the beautiful roses, she raised her eyes and looked at Griffon. “Didn’t you give these to me yesterday?”
The man handed the flowers to her, and whispered, “From now on, I’ll give you a bouquet every day.”
As long as he was still alive, he would give her a bouquet every day until the end of time.
After quietly observing for a few seconds, Taya reached out to receive the flowers from him.
She held the flowers in her arms and side-eyed the man wearing sungla*ses, who had yet to take them off. “What’s wrong with
your eyes?”
It wasn’t summer, so the sun wasn’t that strong. There was no need to wear sungla*ses to block the glare when driving, but he
still did, which was rather strange..
Hearing this, Griffon said calmly, “I didn’t sleep well, so my eyes are a little red. I thought you might get a shock if you saw it.”
Taya’s hand, which was holding his, tightened slightly. However, she still didn’t have the courage to take off his sungla*ses.
Griffon took out an insulated container from the glove box and handed it to Taya. “Here’s breakfast.”
Taya glanced at the insulated container, then at Griffon. “Did you make it?”
He nodded slightly as he opened up the container. He questioned, “There’s porridge, as well as some pastries. Which would you like first?”
To tell the truth, the porridge he made wasn’t that good, so Taya’s eyes fell on the pastries.
Griffon noticed her sk ipping past the porridge, and immediately understood that the porridge he had made was not good enough.
He took one of the pastries with a small fork and handed it to Taya. Then, he took a spoonful of porridge and put it in his mouth.
Seeing the way his expressions had changed slightly and his thick eyebrows subtly raised, Taya couldn’t help but smile. “Maybe you
should give up on cooking.”
When he caught a glance of that smile, it made the terrible porridge taste much better. “Okay. I won’t cook anymore.”
He was too confident earlier, so he didn’t even bother taste testing his porridge. He didn’t expect it to be so unpalatable. As for Taya…
He looked at Taya, who was eating the pastries and drinking milk. “If it’s so bad, why did you eat all of it the last time?”
Taya lightly took a sip of the milk lightly without answering. Instead, she changed the topic and asked him, “Where are you taking me?”
Griffon refused to fall for it, and his gaze under the sungla*ses was fixed on her. “Was it because I made it?”
Taya raised her eyes and gave him a look that implied he was being delusional. She then lowered her head and concentrated on eating breakfast.
Griffon smiled a little. He started the car, reversed it with one hand and drove away from the villa before steadily making his way
toward the shopping mall.
Behind the cool sports car, dozens of luxury cars all drove into the most luxurious shopping mall in Arcadia.
Griffon opened the car door. Being a gentleman, he led Taya out of the car and held her hand in front of the pa*sing crowd.
Taya saw a lot of people staring at them. Feeling a little uncomfortable, she wanted to shake off Griffon’ hand, but he
refused to let go.
He leaned over slightly and whispered in her ear, “This is what I owe you.”
Taya raised her head and looked at his tall figure. “What?” While leading her to the mall, Griffon replied, “Being open about
our relationship.”
During those five years, she had been hiding in the dark and could not see the light. From then on, he wanted her to live proudly.
