Chapter 353: Chapter 353

Chapter 353 Liana had just tucked her phone into her white lab cost when she spotted a dashing, stylishly dressed man striding towards the VIP ward.

The moment he saw her, his yes lit up, a sunny smile spreading across his face. “Excuse me, doctor,” he said, is Ms. Shultz in this room?”

Recognizing he was here for Eleanor, Liana stiffened, thinking to herself, “Has Ms. Shultz’s suitor already showed up?”

a maintained a smile. Yes, she is. And you are?”

card from his suit pocket and handed it to her. “My name is Pearce”

Though taken aback, Liana He pulled out a Seeing the title “Chief Designer at Vanguard Architects“ written on the card, Liana greeted him with a small smile. Nice to meet you”

After shaking her hand and slipping the card into her hand, Pearce flashed her a grin. “If you ever need a house designed, give me a shout. I’ll give you a 20% discount.”

With that, he swiftly turned and headed for the ward. But as he turned, his smile vanished in an instant....

Pearce paused at the door of the ward, his smile returning as he knocked on the door. “Ms. Shultz, may I come in?”

Hailey, who was massaging Eleanor’s legs, looked up at the man outside the door. “And you are?”

Leaning against the doorframe, Pearce ran his fingers through his hair. “Pearce.”

Eleanor, remembering Ethan mentioning someone coming to tutor her in architecture, invited him in without turning around.

As Pearce entered and saw Eleanor’s back wrapped in layers of gauze, a frown creased his brow But he didn’t ask what had happened. Instead, he expressed concern about her ability to study in her condition Eleanor cast an apologetic glance at him. “I’m sorry, but I don’t think I’ll be able to learn design from you for a while.”

Pearce responded with a brilliant, clean smile. “That’s alright, you can start with the theory”

He checked his phone for the time and told Eleanor, “From now on, I’ll set aside two hours each day to Eleanor nodded in agreement. “Thank you, Mr. Hooper”

give you lessons.”

With a wave of his hand and a smile that seemed a bit forced, Pearce adjusted his expression before telling Eleanor, “Before I start teaching you, Ms.

Shultz, I need to know a bit about your background.”

Lying on her stomach, Eleanor didn’t notice his change in expression and simply nodded her consent.

Having received her permission, Pearce began to ask about Eleanor’s background, “Where did you graduate from?”

Surprised, Eleanor lowered her gaze, slightly ashamed. “A university in A City”

Pearce raised on eyebrow. “The University of A?”

When Eleanor shook her head, Pearce understood that it probably wasn’t a highly rated school.

A hint of disdain appeared in his eyes, but he forced himself not to dwell on her academic background and quickly changed the subject.

“What field of design did you study?”

“Brand design”

“Have you won any awards?”

“Do competitions held by the school count?”

Pearce didn’t know how to respond.

He quickly deemed Eleanor unqualified and didn’t bother asking any more questions.

Maintaining a smile that was on the verge of becoming a grimace, Pearce said to Eleanor, “Ms. Shultz, the projects your sister has taken on are not just ordinary interior designs. They are iconic buildings representing each country, each city. You’ve had no previous understanding of this. To achieve what your sister has in a short period of time is nearly impossible. I suggest you familiarize yourself with her design style first, and then try to mimic it. That might prevent you from making mistakes.”

Eleanor was already aware of this and felt the pressure mounting. However, she firmly nodded at Pearce. “I’ll work hard, Mr. Hooper.”

Keeping his polite smile, Pearce’s words carried a hint of mockery “Sometimes, no matter how hard a person tries, it’s useless if they lack talent”

Hailey, sitting nearby, was already feeling hurt from Pearce’s questions about Eleanor’s education. Unable to hold back, she retorted, “How do you know Eleanor doesn’t have talent if you haven’t seen her design drafts?”

Pearce turned to look at Hailey. His smile faltered, then collapsed. “You look like a high school graduate.”

Hailey clenched her fists, but Pearce turned back to Eleanor, smiling again. “Ms. Shultz, just a friendly reminder. I might be a bit tough when I teach.

So be prepared.

Eleanor nodded lightly, “No problem.”

Seeing her cooperation, Pearce stood up to leave.

As he stepped outside the ward, he rubbed his aching cheeks from too much smiling, cursing under his breath, “Damn, my face is frozen from all that smiling!”
