In the conference room, Cassandra turned on herputer and projected the designs on the big
screen.
Then, Cassandra said to Zachary, “The whole design drawing includes exterior and interior designs,
afforestation, and others. Do you see any changes that need to be made?”
Cassandra’s design was mature. Not only was it novel, but it also had a certain ssical style to it.
However, the two styles did not conflict with each other but rather brought the whole thing together
harmoniously.
Zachary had been in this industry for many years, having a sharp eye and keen sense when it came to
designing, but he couldn’t find anything wrong with Cassandra’s design drawing.
Zachary asked some questions, and Cassandra could answer them fluently. Evidently, she came
prepared.
Zachary nodded. “Good. I’m very satisfied, but I still have to submit it to the higher–ups before I can
give you a reply. Is that okay? After all, there is a lot of attention on this project and it can also be
regarded as the most anticipated construction in Broburgh this year. You won’t mind, right?”
“Of course not. These are all run–of–the–mill procedures,” Cassandra said lightly.
Kendall didn’t say anything throughout the whole process as the exchanges between the two were
professional. Even though Hawley Real Estate was in charge of designing, they were not privy to most
details.
After looking through the design drawings, Cassandra also expressed some of her opinions. While they
were chatting, the door of the conference room was pushed open.
Everyone looked over at the same time.
Ondo, in the lead, stood tall and upright, his handsome face wearing a solemn look.
Zachary immediately stood up. “Mr. Quinn, you’re just in time. We’re discussing the project design
drawings.”
Kendall hurriedly introduced himself politely, “Hello, Mr. Quinn. I’m the representative of Hawley Real
Estate.”
Ondo nodded slightly in greeting before looking toward the woman who sat there quietly.
Zachary hastily introduced, “Mr. Quinn, this is Ms. Jackson, the architect.”

“Nice to meet you, Ms. Jackson,” said Ondo.
Ondo wore a gentle look, and his voice was gruff.
Only then did Cassandra stand up. Staring straight at Ondo’splicated gaze, she said quietly,
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Quinn.”
This was the first time they formally met outside.
With Ondo’s arrival, the atmosphere grew tense.
Zachary asked Cassandra to present the design drawings again. “Mr. Quinn, would you like to see if
there is anything that needs to be modified?”
Cassandra did as she was told.
However, her gaze remained trained on Ondo, who furrowed his brows slightly. He seemed upset,
his eyes filled with dissatisfaction. That look on his face made her panic.
The next second, he looked up at her and asked indifferently, “Ms. Jackson, what do you think of the
design drawing?”
His tone was emotionless; there was no telling whether he was satisfied or not.
It was even more difficult not to overthink when his expression seemed serious.
Cassandra looked at him without a word and fearlessly answered, “Mr. Quinn, I don’t think there is any
problem with the overall outline of this design drawing. Any ws that exist can only be of some minor
architectural and appearance designs. Apart from those, I am personally very satisfied.”
She spoke directly and honestly, without beating around the bush.
Kendall grew anxious and hurriedly exined, “Mr. Quinn, Ms. Jackson didn’t mean that. If you have
any requirements, we can modify the design ordingly.”
“Ms. Jackson, Mr. Quinn is our investor. His request is our request,” whispered Kendall, leaning toward
Cassandra. He was indirectly warning her to not refute any of Ondo’s requests.
Cassandra frowned and said nothing, but Kendall’s words made her feel ufortable.

One’s professional ethics should not be swayed by money.
Some things may lose their charm once they are modified.
Ondo noticed Cassandra’s expression. He leaned back in his chair and looked impassively at
Cassandra while also sparing a nce at Kendall.
Then, he asked faintly, “Mr. Wright, do you think Ms. Jackson’s right?”
Zachary was a senior staff of Quinn Group. He believed that Ondo wouldn’t blindly use his wealth to
change the right thing.
Hence, he confessed, “I think she’s right.”
Kendall was taken aback and confused.
Ondo smiled lightly. “Yeah, it’s not bad.”
His words were clearly hinting at something. It was hard to tell whether he was talking about Cassandra
or her design drawings.
However, that was just a minor episode, and everything went smoo. “‘y afterward.
The design drawing’s revision was resolved, and they discussed it until it was time for dinner.
Taylor immediately grasped Ondo’s hint when thetter nced at the time.
“Thank you all for your hard work. Mr. Quinn will treat you all to dinner. The restaurant has been
booked. Let’s head out now,” said Taylor.
Kendall was surprised and excited while Cassandra had no objection to it.
However, Zachary could sense that this meal was not for Hawley Real Estate, let alone for the
coboration. Instead, it was probably for a certain someone.
Either way, it was still an honor to have a meal with Ondo. Everyone quickly packed up and took the
elevator downstairs.
They stood in Quinn Group’s building and waited for the driver to pick them up.

Ondo suddenly said, “Ms. Jackson, ride with me. I happen to have some questions about the design
that I would like to consult you with.”
Cassandra smiled and agreed, “Sure.”
Everyone sensed the ambiguous atmosphere. After all, the chemistry between men and women tends
to cause misunderstandings, but the two parties involved showed no unusual behavior, which only
made people more
curious.
Cassandra’s phone suddenly buzzed with a message notification.
It was from Michael, asking: [Is the meeting over?]
She replied: [Yeah, it just ended. I’m having a meal with them and might return to thepanyte.]
He responded: [Okay, go ahead. Call me if you need anything.]
Cassandra replied “Okay” before putting her phone away.
She noticed Ondo staring at her, his expression inscrutable.
Instead of avoiding him, she met his gaze. The two looked into each her’s eyes.
They continued doing so for a minute or two until the driver drove up. Only then did they look away.
Everyone waited for Ondo and Cassandra to get in the car first. However, a woman’s voice rang out
when they just took a step forward.
“Landy, are you getting off work?” Reba approached slowly.
Reba was wearing a light green dress with her hair draped over her shoulders, wearing exquisite
makeup. Her beautiful face revealed a smile, her voice tender. The endearing way she addressed him
piqued everyone’s interest.
Ondo looked over, his face devoid of expression as he asked, “Why are you here?”
“I’m here to have dinner with you.” She nced at Cassandra, then at the others beside her, and
whispered, “Do you already have ns?”

“Yes,” Ondo said indifferently.
Reba looked forlorn. “Looks like I came at a bad time.”

She then greeted the others, her sweet and gentle smile irresistible.
Zachary said, “You’re Ms. Reba Spencer, right? It’s a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Spencer.”
Kendall chimed in, “Yes, you’re as beautiful as you are on television.”
Reba responded to theirments and was very friendly. Although she wasn’t breathtakingly
beautiful, she
had a pleasant voice that made people’s hearts flutter.
Someone asked, “Are you here looking for Mr. Quinn?”
