International call?
Taya and Griffon exchanged a glance. His expression turned cold as he took her hand and led her to the study to answer the phone.
“Hello, this is the organizing committee of the 17th International Architecture Competition.”
Taya thought Jocelyn was calling about taking the
pup again, but was relieved to hear it was the international competition.
“Hello, may I ask why you are calling me?”
“Your work, ‘Knight Headquarters,’ has won the championship in the final round of the competition. The organizing committee has unanimously decided to award you the championship honor at the International Architecture Exhibition Hall in the
capital tomorrow afternoon. You are also invited to give an acceptance speech.”
I… won an award?
oked at rion in disbelief.
He rebuilt the Knight Headquarters to win her back and to help her reach the pinnacle of architecture in her own name.
She thought she was just a newcomer and wouldn’t make it to the final round, but not only did she win an award, but also won the championship.
The sudden surprise made her so excited that she hugged him.
“Honey, I won an award, and it’s the championship!”
Griffon’s tense expression gradually relaxed, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
“Are you happy?”
“Yes, I’m very happy!”
“Then design a few more branches for me.”.
As soon as these words were spoken, the smile on Taya’s face froze.
She pushed him away and frowned as she looked him up and down.
“The title of champion must have been awarded to me by you, right?”
Preston, who was standing next to them, enjoying the show, pointed at Griffon with his long fingers.
“It’s him, it’s him, it’s definitely him…”
Her joyful mood suddenly hit rock bottom.
“I thought it was based on the work, but it turns out it’s based on my husband. How can I accept this championship?”
She picked up her phone and was about to call the organizing committee to ask them to re-evaluate the entries and not take away the opportunity from other designers.
Before she could make the call, Griffon’ hand
pressed down on her screen. “I didn’t interfere with the competition, I just helped you submit your work.”
Just as Griffon finished explaining, Preston
added fuel to the fire, “Your work is called ‘Knight Headquarters’, and the organizing committee knows it’s from the Knight pack. How could they not give you the award…”
Taya, who thought Preston made a good point, quickly nodded. “That’s right, I can’t accept this award. I’ll decline it…”
riffon sn atched Taya’s phone and turned his cold gaze towards Preston. “When Harper gets mated, I’ll definitely give her a set of houses in the park.”
Preston’s expression suddenly stiffened as he watched the scene. “Why pointing out to my problem directly, it’s really annoying….”
Griffon’s voice was as cold as iron. “Just shut up if you’re annoyed!”
Why be so fierce just because he asked to be quiet?
Preston secretly glanced at Griffon, sat up straight, and continued to code the encrypted video obediently.
Griffon then slowly withdrew his gaze and looked at Taya. “Honey, the international committee members are all design masters in the architecture industry. They only look at the works, not the background. You have to believe that you have the ability.”
She was a little skeptical, but Amon had said the
Most architects are just like the straight lines on the architectural drawings.
They are straightforward. If it works, it works. If it doesn’t, it doesn’t. No matter how big the background is, it’s useless.
Perhaps her work was recognized by the masters, but it just happened to be supported by her background.
Thinking this way, she nodded. “Okay, then I’ll go prepare my acceptance speech.”
She took a step to leave, but Griffon pulled her back and hugged her tightly, pressing his hand on her waist. “How will you thank me?” he asked.
His fingers on her waist moved up and slightly lifted her clothes, touching her skin with a burning sensation, clearly reminding her of how she should thank him.
Taya pretended not to understand and said, “How
about this? After I receive the award, I’ll treat you to drinks in the capital.”
After being embarra*sed once for being too h or ny, someone wisely chose not to ask and said, “The kind of thanks I want is more your body.”
Taya clenched her small fist and hit his strong chest, “Stella said that excessive indulgence can harm the body.”
He caught her fist and looked at her with affectionate eyes, “Stella said that I am very strong, so you need not worry.”
Preston, who was still typing on the computer, glanced at the two of them and became so angry that he gritted his teeth and typed furiously.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Taya heard the noise and remembered that there was someone else in the study. She quickly pushed Griffon away and said, “Don’t say such things in
front of the pup.
Pup Preston: …
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
