Chapter 931: Chapter 931 Come Prepared

It was only when Naomi stood in front of the man that she realized she looked strange.

How could she idiotically come over and stare at him because of his expression? Just as she was thinking if she should flee the scene, the man spoke.

“Are you Miss George?”

Naomi was stunned and stammered, “You are…”

“I’m your client from Inchee Company. My name is Nelson Luther!”

Naomi was momentarily stunned, her heart feeling an inexplicable sense of loss and disappointment. Yet, it seemed to be reasonable. After all, the news of that person’s death had been known more than a decade ago.

He was no longer in this world. Even if she had met someone similar to him, it could never be him.

“Miss George?” Nelson’s voice rang again, dragging her out of her daze.

“Oh yes. Hello, Mr. Luther!”

“Hello!” Nelson shook her hand gently. His touch was adequate and polite. With that, Naomi’s first impression of him was that he was a nice gentleman.

After they exchanged greetings, Naomi handed the proposal in her hands to him.

“This is the project that I’ve planned. Please take a look at this project…”

“Don’t move!” Nelson suddenly growled. As soon as Naomi looked up, she saw him approaching her slowly.

Nelson’s eyes were very beautiful, a part where he resembled Vincent Granger the most. The only difference was that back then, Vincent was rather reserved and introverted.

He was definitely not as confident as Nelson was.

Even so, her heart beat uncontrollably.

When she noticed Nelson approaching her, she suddenly didn’t know what to do.

“You… ”

The next second, Nelson reached out and picked a bug from her hair.

“It seems that you’re so attractive that even bugs want to feel closer to you!”

It was clearly a corny pick-up line, but the way he said it made it seem sincere and truthful. It no longer sounded greasy and inappropriate.

Naomi paused for a moment before she replied politely, “Thank you.”

After a brief introduction of the project, Naomi noticed that it was almost time for her to leave. Hence, she got up and was about to bid Nelson goodbye.

Just then, Nelson suddenly offered, “Miss George, I think there are still some revisions needed to be done on the project. Why don’t we go to my company to talk about it?”

Naomi was stunned for a moment. She glanced at the clock on the wall subconsciously.

Last night, Eddison had invited her to watch a match.

Unaware to her, Nelson smirked and prompted, “Do you have something else to do, Miss George? It’s such a pity.”

“No, I don’t!”

Naomi shook her head. A while ago, Nelson’s slightly disappointed look reminded her of Vincent for some unknown reason.

Back when she was young, she used to think Vincent was the one who harmed her mother. After years passed and she grew more mature, she slowly realized many other things that she missed out back when she was young.

Vincent did nothing wrong. He was just a pitiful child who had been used by others.

On the contrary, after thinking about it when she was older, she recalled that Vincent had silently helped her a lot.

She was a person who valued relationships a lot, so she never did manage to forget him despite such a long time. She would constantly be reminded of how different things would be now if only she was more sensible back then.

Vincent would be still alive then!

However, there was no such thing as what ifs in this world. Eventually, Vincent’s life ended when he was 10 years old.

“If you have nothing else to do, then let’s go!”

Nelson nodded and got up, gesturing for her to leave first.

Nelson’s car was parked outside. After Naomi got into the car, she pondered for a while and decided to send a message to Eddison.

“Sorry, Sugar Bun, something urgent came up. I’ve just taken over the company’s projects, so I’m really slightly busy! Don’t wait for me. When I get back, I’ll buy your favorite cake for you!”

…

The car soon arrived at Inchee Company, which operations were growing quite rapidly in recent years. Similar to TEM, which was founded by Amos in the past, it was a reputable company.

The headquarters was set up overseas and a branch was opened up locally.

Inchee Company was quite a large company, which was one of the reasons why Naomi was determined to strike a deal with them. If this went smoothly, she would definitely win the bet against Cynthia.

At the very least, she had to make her parents proud!

“We’re here!” Nelson motioned for her to get out of the car and ushered her into his office.

It was not a large room, and the design was simple but classy.

Nelson was a little embarrassed and chuckled, “Don’t mind my office! Take a seat first. Do you want some coffee? I’ll prepare it for you!”

Naomi was taken aback by the warm hospitality. Before she could say anything, he continued.

“I don’t have a secretary for the time being, so…”

“There’s no need to!” Naomi quickly interjected before he could offer any more. Nelson looked slightly embarrassed, a stark contrast from how he was when they were discussing details of the project just a while ago. Truth be told, she even found it slightly adorable.

“Didn’t we just eat a while ago? I’m not hungry nor thirsty, so let’s get down to business!”

Nelson nodded. With that, the two of them plopped themselves down on the small sofa in front of the coffee table and started discussing the project.

Although he looked embarrassed, Nelson was really quite capable! He already managed to point out some follow-up notes at points where Naomi had just noticed then.

On the other hand, Naomi had been very competitive since she was a child. As an elder sister, she was always strict on herself and strived for the best in every aspect.

She never expected to lose to someone like Nelson.

She could not help but sneak a glance at him. Just then, Nelson also raised his head to meet her gaze. As the two of them were seated closely, Naomi’s lips brushed against Nelson’s chin by accident.

Both of them were stunned. After a few seconds, Naomi hurriedly backed off.

“Well, do you have any other questions regarding this project?”

Nelson shook his head and said, “Not for the time being!”

“Then… I’ll head back first. I’ve made some notes about the comments and suggestions you made earlier. After I’ve made the revision, I’ll show you the newer proposal to you!”

“Okay!” Nelson nodded before offering, “Why don’t I give you a ride? It’s not easy to hail a taxi here.”

“There’s no need to, I can wait for the taxi here!”

Naomi literally ran away after she finished speaking. It was the first time she had lost her composure ever since being born.

Even her father had made it the family motto to keep calm and composed regardless of the situation. No matter what happened, calmness was an important weapon for success.

Meanwhile, Naomi had completely forgotten about it.

When Naomi’s figure disappeared at the office’s entrance, the faint smile on Nelson’s face gradually froze.

Soon, the door was pushed open and his assistant,  Richard, came in.

“Mr. Luther, Miss George has left.”

Nelson tapped his fingers on the table for a few seconds before saying, “Okay! Got it!”

Richard hesitated for a moment before starting to ask, “In fact, we do not necessarily have to cooperate with Valiant East. Our company’s ability can still guarantee us much better deals with other greater companies. Why bother spending so much effort on them?”

Nelson smirked as he replied, “Richard, you’ve been with me for so many years. Don’t you know me well? Don’t ask me something like this again in the future!”

“Okay!” Richard nodded.
