Chapter 188

I’m just doing physical work!”

7 see Emmett is very interested in you! Your development in the Melendez Group will definitely be very promising.”

Ricardo scratched his nose and laughed, “You got that right! Mr. Melendez treats me well, I work a lot because he trusts me.”

Clara arched an eyebrow at him, “We both gotta keep our noses to the grindstone! I gotta bounce.”

“Sure thing.”

Clara pushed open the office door and dove right into her work without even taking a water break.

If it wasn’t for Emmett personally checking in, she probably wouldn’t have stopped all morning.

“You’re so focusing on your work, you put me, the boss, to shame.”

Hearing Emmett’s voice, Clara was taken aback, “What, what brings you here?”

“I’m the boss, why wouldn’t I be here?” Emmett walked over, glanced at her blueprint, “You’ve drawn up a new draft.”

Yep! I’ve improved the last one! Look at this…” Clara handed over the blueprint eagerly and started explaining, “I took wind direction into account yesterday and tried to maximize the daylight! Look here, if we make these floor–to–ceiling windows, I worry about the impact of strong winds on the structure.

But if we raise the windows by ten centimeters from the ground, it could greatly reduce this problem!”

Emmett looked at the blueprint, nodding, “Hmm, ten centimeters is a good idea.

We should build them at about seventeen centimeters. After factoring in waterproofing and soundproofing, we can still ensure ten centimeters of floor–to–ceiling Clara handed him another blueprint, “And I’ve done the math, this window size is the most suitable.“–

“Aren’t you tired?” Emmett took the blueprint, but instead of looking at it, he told her to sit down and poured her a glass of water, “You’ve been burning the candle at both ends for this blueprint, you didn’t even have a decent breakfast, and a shower has become washing your face.”

Clara stuck her tongue out, a little embarrassed, “Well… I just wanted to wrap this up quickly! Didn’t want to hold up the construction progress! This project is a big deal for us this year. My first blueprint was used in such a big project, I’m afraid if I don’t push myself…”

“Do I look like a guy who would joke about company matters?”

Clara shook her head.

Emmett took her hand and held it tightly, “If your blueprint didn’t meet my standards, didn’t wow me, I wouldn’t have used it! Even to make you happy. I could’ve used it on a less important project. I let you handle such a big project because I trust you, I believe in your blueprint! Don’t stress yourself out, it makes me feel like I’ve burdened you by assigning you this blueprint.”

Clara quickly said, “No! I’m not stressed! I’m actually very excited! Emmett, I don’t want to just be an ornament by your side, always being called an ornament, I want to be able to live on my own!”

“I understand.” That’s why he was willing to cultivate her, willing to make her the main designer this time.

Thank you for trusting me so much.” Clara looked up, meeting his gaze, “Really, I’m so happy! I feel like my life has meaning now! It’s not like before, when it was all routine and mundane, just living to make ends meet.”
