    Chapter 1021


    Adeena sat in the living room and took a sip of the coffee. It was just as she liked it.


    She sat near the coffee table, and was just in time to enjoy Sea City’s sunrise. The golden sun shone


    over the city, and the ss windows of high–rise buildings reflected the sunlight, making it look


    resplendent.


    The lounge door clicked and was gently opened.


    She put down the cup of coffee in her hand and stood up. She then said with a smile, “Good morning,


    Mr. Winters.”


    Duke looked at her in silence.


    She was seated by the window, and the bright morning sun shone on her face, revealing the peach


    fuzz on it.


    Her loose strands were hanging loosely by her ear and two strands of her hair were sticking by the side


    of her lips.


    He wanted to raise his hand and brush it off, but he was


    afraid that it would startle her.


    “Good morning, Ms. Willis.” He sat on the couch. “Let’s discuss our project.”


    Adeena let out a sigh of relief.


    ‘His gaze was so deep as he looked at me earlier.


    ‘I was a little worried that he would suddenly get handsy with me again…‘ She sat opposite him. “This


    is the proposal. Please have a look.”


    He opened the proposal booklet and read through it very quickly. He turned one page after the other


    within a few seconds. He probably read only less than ten lines per page.


    In less than three minutes, he was done looking through the proposal.


    He said calmly, “Ms. Willis, excellent work. In just a few days, you were able toe up with such a


    perfect proposal. I‘m satisfied with it.” Adeena frowned. “Mr. Winters, did you truly go through the


    proposal?” Duke nodded indifferently. “Of course.”


    “Then, may I ask whatnguage the simtion system will be written in?” Adeena pursed her lips and


    asked. He put the proposal on the coffee table, and leaned forward, pursing his lips. His voice was


    deep and gentle as he said, “Is that important?”


    After he said it, he exhaled and his warm breath blew on her face.


    She stepped back and tried to keep calm. “Mr. Winters,


    you don‘t even know the basic programmingnguage of the project, but you‘re saying that you‘re


    delighted with it. Are you not interested in this project?”


    Duke smiled, “The first phase of this project‘s research and development investment amounted to three


    billion dors. Do I look like I‘m not interested in it?”


    Adeena pursed her lips.


    ‘With this attitude, he doesn’t look interested.


    ‘Investing three billion dors is a huge amount of money, but he doesn‘t seem to be fazed at all.‘


    “Ms. Willis, I‘m being so obvious right now. Don‘t you understand what I‘m doing?”


    Adeena was taken aback. “Understand what?”


    “I invested three billion dors just to be with you.” Duke looked at her casually, with a hint of


    cheekiness in his gaze. He said with a tempestuous emotion, “I‘m courting you, Ms. Willis, don‘t you


    feel it yet?”


    Adeena was speechless. She was so stunned that she slumped onto the couch.


    Although she had guessed this long ago, she still felt shocked when he said it deliberately to her.


    She opened her mouth, but no words came out.


    The room was quiet. She could feel him leaning in closer to her. He tucked her loose strands of hair


    behind her ear


    with his slender finger.
