Chapter 209


    As he started the call that way, I couldn’t beat around the bush, so I just said bluntly, “President Walker,


    I’d like to hear your thoughts on the hotel renovation.”


    “Didn’t I hand in the bidding documents for the renovation of the hotel? Don’t tell me you can’t


    read?” Eric looked impatient.


    Since bing a designer in Oceana City a few years ago, this is the first time I’ve been insulted like


    this. But since I was calling to ask for your help. I held back my anger and replied, “I have read the


    bidding documents, but I do not understand some parts, so I would like to ask your advice, President


    Walker.”


    “If everyonees to me for advice like you do, I will die of overwork and exhaustion! Oh yeah, are


    you trying to get some design tips from me? If so, I will now say that this tender will be carried out in a


    fair and just manner without any preferential treatment, Ms. Hawkins. If you want to get any tips from


    me, I advise you to just give up. Eric’s words were very painful; he literally implied that I was looking for


    him just to walk in the back door.


    I really wanted to curse him out, but now was not the time to get angry. After all, President Smith had


    already hinted to me that this guy would be the big boss in the future, so even if I wasn’t doing it for


    myself, I would have to put up with him just from that perspective.


    I swallowed my curses and replied, “I’m sorry, President Walker. I didn’t think it through before I called


    you, but I really didn’t want to go in the back door. I will use my strengths to prove to you that I can


    create good designs. Excuse me. I’m going to turn it off now!”

    Eric didn’t speak, just cut the line sharply. Hearing the beep on the other end, I mmed my fist down


    on the table. “Eric Walker, you son of a bitch! You are amazing! If it’s just a design, do I need to beg


    you?”


    After screaming, I realized that I had cursed again without thinking.


    Reaching out, I rubbed my temple in annoyance. “Calm! I need to calm down now!”


    After scrubbing for a while, my head finally didn’t hurt so much. So I leaned back in my chair and


    started thinking about the bid. I had toe up with perfect designs for this bid to surprise Eric.


    With that thought in my heart, I immediately started looking for information and preparing for project


    drafts. This intense worksted until noon.


    At noon, I went to the cafeteria and had a quick lunch before heading back to the office to get busy


    again. While I was up to my elbows working, Jessica suddenly opened the door and said to me, “Lily,


    do you know that Eric ising here soon?”


    “So what if he’s here? What does that have to do with me?” I didn’t look up.


    Jessica didn’t care that I wasn’t interested in the news and continued, “President Smith is on the phone


    with him. I got kicked out of the office after listening to it a bit.”


    “Well, you deserve it. Who told you to listen in on the president’s call?”


    “Am I the type of person who would listen? I just heard it identally. By the way, when I left, I heard


    President Smith mention his name on the telephone.”
