Love’s Second Act by Alvis Midden

Chapter 40

“You’re right.” Although Natalie nodded, she still felt nervous inside.

She could not even begin to imagine the amount of projects the company had. While she was unsure if she could successfully obtain it, it was within her ability to do so.

Inwardly, she began to think about the various problems she had with her words today.

Natalie was shocked by what she saw when she got out of the elevator on the top floor. The place was truly a company. equally matched to Calvin’s.

She knew about the collaboration with Calvin more or less, and she knew that some of the partners were very powerful.

“Relax”

“Okay. Natalie nodded in response.

Then, the secretary spotted them.

He got up and greeted them respectfully. ‘Please wait in the lounge. Mr. Foster has just finished his meeting, so there will be

a bit of wait.

“Okay

The two of them proceeded to the lounge

The secretary poured some coffee for them, and his entire process was like a formulaic robot. There were requirements on the order of work.

Natalie had never worked in such a big company, but Calvin’s company also had such requirements.

It was completely different from the two clients she met yesterday.

Not long after, the door of the lounge was pushed open, and a man dressed in a suit and glasses came in. Although he looked elegant, his face gave off a professional impression.

“Hello, Mr. Wright I am Queenie Zook from Eximius Global.

“Mr. Foster is waiting for you in the office. Please come with me

“Understood.

Natalie, too, got up and together with Queenie, they trailed after the personal assistant named Jayden Wright. The mant maintained a steady and strong pace.

For a leader to have such a subordinate, one easily knew that he was very rigorous in his work.

Natalie’s mood, which had been sorted out before, became more nervous at that moment.

Jayden proceeded to knock on the door of the office.

A magnetic and deep voice sounded from inside and said, “Come in!”

Natalie’s first impression was that the voice sounded very pleasant.

Queenie said to Natalie, “Let’s go in!” As she said that, she tried to help Natalic open the door and go in together. However,

she was stopped by Jayden. “Mr. Foster says that he’s only seeing Ms. Walcott.”

Upon hearing this, Natalie was stunned, and she stared at Queenie in astonishment.

Queenie was equally stunned. Obviously, she had not expected this to happen.

“Why don’t you go in alone?” Queenie said as she looked at Natale.

Natalie’s expression turned slightly gloomy. She was nervous, to begin with, and she thought that she would have some sense of dependence if Queenie were to go with her.

However, she currently had no choice but to pull herself together

“Okay,” Although she felt reluctant, she nodded.

She was already not confident, and now that Queenie wasn’t going in with her, she felt even less confident.

The door of the office was pushed open and Natalie went in.

She turned around and closed the door.

When she looked up and was about to introduce herself as well as explain her purpose for being here, what she saw made her brain instantly buzz.

A solemn man sat on the chair and looked down at the documents in his hand. From Natalie’s vantage, his eyelashes were spread out like a fan.

His nose and the shape of his l*ps, everything was just right.

He was incredibly attractive.

That was Natalie’s impression of him! Over the years with Calvin, she had never seen a company leader who was younger and more beautiful than him.

The people she saw socializing at Calvin’s party were all greasy and pot-bellied.

She thought, “But now…”

Η

“What’s the matter?” After a while, when the man didn’t get any response, he raised his head and met Natalie’s eyes.

At that moment, Natalie felt as if she was being entirely seen and came back to her senses in an instant. Feeling a lit] embarrassed, she blushed. “Sorry, L…

“Who are you?” Compared to her uncomfortableness, the man’s tone was serious and deep.

Coming back to her senses, Natalie also recalled what she was supposed to be doing here. She thought, “Why am I being such a good-for-nothing? It’s not like I’ve never undergone difficulties at the Jeffords residence. Why did I turn into an idi over some man? How embarrassing!”

Natalie took a deep breath and looked into Harlan’s cold eyes. “Hello, I am Natalie Walcott from Otto Studio, 1 have an appointment with you.”

The man’s well-defined hands closed the document, and the gaz he gave her grew more serious.

The serious look carried a hint of coldness.

Natalie’s heart ski pped a beat. “H-Hello!”

“I know you.

Natalie was speechless.

The man’s tone was cold, and Natalie did not understand what the emotion he felt toward her was.

“Oh.” Natalie had no idea how to respond. She stood there and felt embarrassed.

“Have a seat.”

“Oh, okay.” Natalie walked over and sat down on the couch unnaturally.

Eventually, the man got up.

At that moment, Natalie felt her whole b*dy shrouded in his shadow. She visually checked the figure of six feet three inches. The moment he strode forward, his long legs caused a person to breathe harder.

The man came to the couch opposite her and sat down, tidying up his cuffs. He looked elegant and noble.

Natalie handed over the manuscript that had been prepared to him. “Here are some design drafts I have drawn. Could you please take a look?”

“Put it down.”

His tone was regal and made people unconsciously admire him.

Natalie put the file down.

She sat back in her seat and did not know how to fight for such a massive job. She clenched her hands together as cold sweat broke out on her spine.

The suffocating aura he gave off made Natalie feel stressed.

Just as she was trying to think of something to say, the man opposite looked at her. With just a glance, he made her feel as if she were sinking into an abyss.

Natalie stared into his deep eyes.

The man declared, “Three days.”

“Huh?”

“The tender for the land in the eastern suburb is up on the 15th, and it’s already the 11th today. That means you have until you get off work on the 14th.”

Natalie was rendered speechless. She wondered, ‘So, am I being given a chance?”

Although she had gained the opportunity, she knew that it was not easy for her to get a chance in front of the man.

She nodded in response. At that moment, she felt invigorated. “Okay”

Three days was fairly short, but it would be good if she could win the company in these three days.

Although Stronghelm Global had not worked with Calvin before, Natalie had heard about them when working with him.

The company was famous for its strictness in its collaboration with all parties.

She was not going to have an easy time in these three days.

Natalie had no idea how she got out of the office. When she came out, Queenie and Jayden were waiting outside. When Queenie saw her exit, she came forward and asked, “How was it?”

“Let’s talk later.”

“Okay,”

Queenie shot Jayden a grateful look and turned to follow Natalie.

After leaving the office building. Natalie felt her breathing ease up a little. She thought, I must say, that man is really intimidating!”

The moment the car started, Natalie said, “Let’s go to the eastern suburb of Xemrich first.

The eastern suburb?”

“Yeah.

“Did Mr. Foster let us take charge of the eastern suburb?” Queenie looked at Natalie in shock. Strictly speaking, that plot in the eastern suburb was not owned by Stronghelm Global.

The government was currently waiting to see which company could come up with a new landmark in Quadfield.

Therefore, it was always necessary to review the company’s design before giving approval

Apart from the companies in Quadfield, there were several companies from other places participating in the tender. It was difficult to estimate the profit of the land acquired.

Moreover, the real estate companies under Calvin were also participating, and the latter and he had attached great importance to this project.
