Chapter 1733

After she finished her presentation, she returned to her seat with her design draft.

Charlie came over and sat down, saying in a low voice, "Both of you did a good job, Gavin and I will

take another look at your drafts when we return."

Ron chuckled, "These are just the preliminary drafts. Mr. James, please don’t hesitate to voice any

concerns, even if it means having them revise their work."

He finished speaking, his smile growing wider, "How about today? Mr. James has been in a hurry

during his last two visits, and we haven't had a chance to properly host you! I'd like to invite you and Mr.

Gavin for dinner as my treat. We can all sit down and discuss the drafts in detail."

Gavin chimed in, "Sounds good, Mr. James doesn't have any other plans tonight."

Charlie gave him a glance, but didn’t say anything.

Ron excitedly said, "That's great! I'll make a reservation right away.

Gavin turned to Emily, smiling, "Emily, you should come too. We can discuss your design in more detail

during dinner"

Before Emily had a chance to respond, Ron immediately replied on her behalf, “Of course, Emily will

definitely be there."

The meeting temporarily concluded, and Ron instructed his assistant to book a restaurant while he took

Charlie and Gavin to the lounge for a cup of coffee.

As everyone started to leave, Emily returned to her desk to tidy up her belongings and make a call to

Ms.Simmons.

Chad returned to his office, sitting in his chair with an unpleasant expression .

His assistant poured him a glass of water, trying to comfort him, "The James Group hasn't confirmed

whose design they'll use. Don't worry too much, Chad."

Chad asked, “Who do you think has the better design, me or Emily?"

The assistant responded, "Of course, yours is better. Emily's design is too flashy, making it look like a

theme park"

Chad pondered and said, “But in J City's future plans, the North District is supposed to be a tourist

area."

Chad had to admit, Emily's design was more in line with the characteristics of the North District as a

tourist area.

His assistant, with a sly look, suggested, “I don't think Emily came up with that design on her own. She

just graduated and lacks experience. How could she come up with such a mature idea? She's close to

Cedric, maybe he helped her with that."

Chad raised an eyebrow, "Is that possible?"

Cedric was known for his seriousness and wasn't the type to play favorites.

“Very possible, the assistant nodded emphatically.

Chad gritted his teeth, "In any case, the final design hasn't been decided yet, and my design might not

necessarily lose to Emily's."

"Exactly!" The assistant agreed enthusiastically.

As they were heading to the restaurant, waiting for the elevator, a colleague, Allen, spotted Emily and

cheerfully fan over, "Emily, are you off work? Let's go together!"

Charlie turned his head, casting a glance at Allen with an inscrutable expression.

Emily, standing behind him, told Allen, "I have plans tonight, you go ahead."

Allen lived in the same direction as Sunset Ridge, and occasionally they would take the subway

together after work.

“Alright; Allen approached and only then noticed Charlie and the others standing in front. He whispered

to Emily, "I'm having some problems with my design, can you take a look at it tomorrow morning?"

Emily nodded, "Sure, I'll help you out."

As the two of them whispered to each other at the back, Charlie, standing at the front, furrowed his

brows slightly. When the elevator arrived, he took a long stride and entered.
