Seeing Bernard, her nanny Marina was over the moon She weed him into the living room as if he
were her own son inw
“Mr. Laurence, please make yourself at home 11 whip up some coffee for you
Marina cast a nce at Bernard before encouraging Eleanor with a thumbs–up and a look that said
“You go, girl
Eleanor rubbed her forehead slightly and walked over to Bernard, “Bernard Thave a gift for you, let me
fetch It.”
Bernard lounged on the sofa with his legs crossed elegantly He broke into a smile upon hearing about
the gift, “Sure”
As Eleanor headed to the study. Bernard dialed Haley, who was working at a nightclub.
Just as he hung up, Eleanor rushed out from the study, “Marina, have you seen my blueprint that was
in the study?”
Marina, who was brewing coffee in the kitchen, poked her head out to answer, “Didn’t Mr. Laurence
take that blueprint?”
Eleanor turned to Bernard on the sofa, “You took my design for the Jared Group Headquarters?”
Bernard then realized that the gift she wanted to give him was the blueprint, “Yes, I took it and have
already started using it for development”
Eleanor paused for a second, then recalled the news about the reconstruction of Jared Group
Headquarters and finally pieced it together. “You were still mad at me back then, why would you use
my design?”
Bernard casually pulled her into his arms, 1 promised to use your design and to submit it to the
competition. I always keep my word, regardless of the circumstances”
Helping her seed in the architecture field mattered more to him than his personal feelings
Eleanor felt a lump in her throat and buried her head into his chest, whispering, Bernard, you’re too
kind…..
A smile shed in Bernards eyes as he patted her back gently, I forgot to tell you, your design made it
through the first round and is currently being re–evaluated I’m sure you’ll hear about
it scon
Eleanor was still overwhelmed with gratitude and instantly felt a surge of anxiety hearing this, “Is it for
that international architecturepetition?”
He nodded and Eleanor began to panic, 1 can’t do this, I have no experience. If I make it to the finals,
I’d have to present my design concept on stage….*
She always got nervous on stage. She would always be unable to speak, let alone at such a grand
event like the international architecturepetition. All the participants were renowned architects What
if she made a fool of herself?
Bernard let go of her waist, pinching her smooth cheek, What’s there to fear when I’m here?”
He had a knack for putting people at ease, and Eleanor felt a great sense offort around him.
However, he couldn’t take her ce on stage She had to face this herself.
Eleanor clung onto his suit cor, gently stroking it, trying to calm herself down. She had only passed
the first round, the results of the re–evaluations were still pending. It would be a bit premature if she
started worrying about the performance now. She might not even make it past the re–evaluation stage
Thinking of this, Eleanor was no longer as nervous Being a newbie and making it to the finals was a
long shot.
Once she calmed down, she looked up at Bernard, “My original gift was the blueprint, but since you
took it ahead of time, the element of surprise is gone. Let me find another gift for you…. Bernard
answered with a smile. His bright eyes watched Eleanor think about what to gift him.
Seeing her distressed look yet still indecisive, Bernard cleared his throat and suggested. There’s a new
estate in the city’s east central area. I bought it as a wedding house three years ago, but haven’t had
time to decorate it. How about a design for the wedding house as a gift?”
