Chapter 580: Chapter 585

Chapter 585 Two Good News, And Two Bad News She picked up the call to hear Neil’s sorrowful voice from over the speaker. “Amelia, you’re still alive…”

After Amelia left the presidential suite in Nightshade, she didn’t see any signs of Neil. All the calls she made to him were left with no reply.

She thought that nothing would happen to Neil since he knew so many mobs, so she just sent him a message and went home.

Listening to Neil’s tone right then, her heart skipped a beat, and she asked nervously, “Mr. Sherwood, is everything alright?”

Neil smiled wryly and nodded. “I’m fine, I just want to tell you that besides the golden slippers, you still owe me a golden right hand.”

Hearing that he was fine, Amelia breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned as she asked, “What golden right hand, I have no idea what you’re…”

Neil smiled cunningly. “You don’t need to understand anything, you just have to pay me back…”

She was getting tired of hearing the word ‘gold’, so she just went along with it. “Okay, I’ll talk to the gold shop owner once I finish Chapter 585 Two Good News, And Two Bad… the National Space Administration project.”

Seeing that she had agreed to the deal, Neil was at ease. He replied, “Remember to add in a left hand as well. It will look better if it’s balanced…”

Amelia nodded continuously. “Yes, yes. I’ll do anything you want since you’re my teacher.”

Neil put down the phone on his desk, and pressed the loudspeaker button before leaning backwards against the chair. Feeling relieved, he folded his arms over his chest.

“Well, having an apprentice isn’t too bad after all,” he thought to himself. “However..” his thoughts trailed off as he stared at Joe, who was dressed smartly in a tuxedo, standing outside his office.

The wide smile on Neil’s face immediately collapsed. “There are two good news and two bad news, which do you want to hear first?”

Amelia replied without thinking, “The bad news.”

Neil hesitated for a moment, obviously he had brought up good news first, so why didn’t she go in that order?

the Neil was forced to reply. “Okay, the good news is that Evans Group is planning to rebuild their headquarters, and they want us for that job!”

“Wasn’t the Evans Group’s headquarters in good condition? Why would they rebuild it now?” Amelia wondered.

Chapter 585 Two Good News, And Two Bad…

She frowned slightly. She was about to voice her thoughts to Neil, but before she could say anything, another piece of good news came.

“It has always been my dream to gain the rights to the Evans Group building designs, then use these designs to enter the international architectural competition. By doing this, I can kill two birds with one stone and defeat my master, Aaron Johnson. Who knew my dream would be fulfilled so early in life!”

Hearing this, Amelia threw away the doubts in her mind, and said happily for him. “Then congratulations, your dream is about to come true.”

The corner of Neil’s mouth twitched. “You are saying that too early, I still have two pieces of bad news…”

Seeing that he helped her many times in the past, Amelia held the phone and asked patiently, “Please tell me what they are.”

While staring at Joe outside the door, Neil took a deep breath. “The first bad news is that the Evans Group is asking you to lead the design, not me!”

He had been praying for the main building of the Evans Group, or perhaps a subsidiary building, even a small branch to crumble…

Now that the opportunity presented itself, they were requesting for his apprentice to design it, not him!

Chapter 585 Two Good News, And Two Bad… How could he not be furious?

“Me?” Amelia’s eyes grew wide with shock.

Amelia was a little dazed, not understanding what James intentions were.

Hearing only silence, Neil thought that Amelia was silently rejoicing. His face was distorted with anger.

“You must be overjoyed.”

Amelia came to her senses and shook her head. “I still have more than 50 projects on hand, and I don’t have time to take on other projects, so you can have it.”

Neil had been yearning to hear these words from her. “My great Amelia, I’m really pleased to have such a great apprentice, but unfortunately, I can’t accept it…”

Amelia frowned slightly. “And why is that?”

Neil looked at his right hand, gritted his teeth and said, “This is the second bad news, I’ve dislocated my golden right hand!”

The thought of the threat of James chopping off his foot still lingered in Neil’s mind.

“What happened?” Amelia asked, clueless.

“Never mind what happened, just report to work as usual tomorrow and we’ll pick up the project together!”

Chapter 585 Two Good News, And Two Bad… After Neil finished speaking, he hung up and stared at Joe standing outside.

He said to Joe, “My boss and I will head over to your headquarters to sign the contract tomorrow!”

Neil had wanted to refuse the deal, but not everyone would get the opportunity to work on a project by the Evans Group, plus they still had to uphold the reputation of the Sumasa Construction Co., LTD.

Joe raised the corner of his mouth and smiled. “Mr. Sherwood, my boss will pay you a visit to sign the contract tomorrow. You and Ms. Clark just have to wait for him.”
