    Chapter 32


    “I changed my mind. Is there a problem with that?”


    Catelyn felt incredibly frustrated by the situation. Cedrick himself said she did not qualify, and it was also


    he who asked her to take over the project in a tone like he was granting her a gift.


    ‘Why should I say yes to him?’


    Catelyn thus responded, “I think I might not be good enough for this project. Our manager, Hills, is very


    experienced and would be a perfect candidate. Why don’t | pass the phone to her instead?”


    “…” Following a moment of silence, Cedrick’s expression darkened. “So, you’re rejecting me?”


    “No, no, no!” Catelyn said sincerely, “I’m just worried that I might not be experienced or knowledgeable


    enough to handle a mansion that costs over a billion.”


    Thinking that she was simply ying hard-to-get, Cedrick’s gaze sharpened as he would when he was


    negotiating with business partners. “The design rate out in the market for this mansion is roughly two


    hundred per square meter. If you agree to take the project, I’ll raise the rate to roughly three hundred.”


    A span of roughly 300 per square meter meant that the designing fee for the mansion would go up to


    over three million!


    “Contact me to confirm the contract by three in the evening today, and I’ll offer you an extra ten-percent


    bonus.” Cedrick was certain that a woman like Catelyn would not budge.


    Indeed, she felt tempted. Miles had started kindergarten, and their expenses would only increase from


    then on.


    “Deal!” Catelyn finally agreed.


    Cedrick simply sneered at how pretentious she was.


    Cedrick looked at Ollie, who was lying on the bed, and lifted an eyebrow. “Satisfied,


    now?”


    Ollie’s pink lips curled into a shy smile as he nodded. His tantrum started fast and ended even faster. He


    took the pills between his fingers and swallowed them with the warm water.


    “I’m sorry for making you worry, Father,” he apologized.


    Cedrick put his hand into his pocket with a cold, stern expression. This was the first time Ollie had


    argued with him so stubbornly over a woman.


    “This is the first and thest time I’m going to put up with your wilfulness. As the son of Cedrick Mason,


    you’re born into wealth, and so you’re expected to bear the responsibility thates with it. I don’t ever


    want to hear from Albert that you’ve disappeared again, do you understand?”


    Ollie’s mind was upied solely with the thought that he could finally give out the paper heart he made


    since Catelyn was designing his mansion. He simply nodded with no regard for what his father was


    saying.


    “I understand.”


    Edwin heard the conversation between the two and simply eximed, “How sad that Ollie is getting his


    childhood taken away, not to mention having to put up with you!


    “If only I had a son this cute-hey, hey, don’t drag me out! I’m not done yet!”


    Cedrick straight away dragged him away and ordered Albert to take good care of


    Ollie.


    When Catelyn heard the beeping sound of the line being cut off, she went and saved Cedrick’s contact.


    That afternoon, shepleted all her tasks for the day and ced all documents on her desk into the


    drawer before locking it by habit. As a designer, her drafts had to


    remain confidential.


    Once she was done, she took a taxi and headed to Ollie’s mansion.


    She had already taken a tour there before and had a general idea of how the overall design would be; all


    that was left was to take note of Cedrick’s requests and advice.
