Chapter 821
‘After all, nowadays, there are many Cinderellas who disdain the domineering presidents’ money and prefer to live a
miserable life while dating them.’
The female colleague thought that this
might be the case. Earlier, several of them got together and talked about who exactly paid the bill last night.
“No.” Grace denied it. ‘He once was, but
not anymore!’
“Eh? No?” The female colleague looked surprised, not expecting Grace to deny so straightforwardly. “But Andrea
Schwartz said…”
“Does my boyfriend have to be whoever
she says?” asked Grace.
The other woman was stunned,
not knowing how to continue the
conversation.
Grace walked out of the pantry with a gla** of water in her hand. She returned
to her seat and began the tasks at hand.
Dating was way in the past now. All she
wanted to do now was work well and
work hard in this city… to become a
lawyer again!
Only in this way could she be worthy of
those who loved her!
Lina was distracted at work all
morning. Her mind was full of Hadwin
Stephenson’s face and the things he
said.
‘He said… he can be the sword in my
hand even if the person I’m dealing with
is Jason!’
Never had a man said such a thing to
her!
‘This sounds like sweet talk no matter
how I look at it! He would have to involve
the entire Stephenson Group if he’s to go
against Jason. No rational person would be willing to suffer such a loss.’
However… Hadwin Stephenson made her
feel like… it was real when he said so.
It was as if he could involve the
Stephenson Group he spent so many
years and effort to get and risk losing everything for her.
Usually, the biggest possibility a
man would do this for a woman was
because… he had fallen in love with her!
‘Could Hadwin Stephenson have possibly
fallen for me?’
Lina was immediately doubtful when she
thought of this.
‘There’s a possibility that Hadwin Stephenson hates me. As for loving me… It’s most likely that he said these things to make me fall in love with him, and once I do, he’ll finally get his revenge!
‘That’s the most plausible explanation, right?’
However… Somehow, her heart could not
calm down.
“Lina!” A voice suddenly rang in her ear,
causing Lina to come back to her senses.
Then, she realized that she had arrived
at the land bidding center.
for auction. Naturally, companies like their design firm wanted to establish a good relationship with those real estate
companies. Several powerful real estate
companies in Emerald City had come over to bid for the plots.
The director of Lina’s design firm
brought a few designers over so they
could be the first to hear about the land
auctions. Then, they could pull some
strings and see if they could win over the
design projects.
Lina was one of the several designers
who came.
One of today’s plots was a popular commercial land, which was planned to be built into a shopping mall cum
serviced apartment. Lina was quite
interested in this.
After all, anyone who was ambitious
about design was interested in challenging projects. However… Lina reckoned that her design firm would
not get such a project considering their
current size.
