Chapter 154


    For Becky, Carl’s arrival was just like another filler episode in her life.


    Carl hade to deliver Elmore’s message, but Becky didn’t take his words seriously at all. She


    had been a part of the Casper family for three years, so she could practically guess Elmore’s


    thought process by now.


    However, she could care less about what Elmore was thinking. Right now, she was more concerned


    about the bidding n for thend that was going to be bid on tomorrow.


    Becky had rejected the n that was proposed at the meeting just now, but Elvin didn’t dare go


    against her like before.


    Becky was the only daughter of Stevie, who owned the entire Fairway Group, so she was going to


    be the future owner of the group.


    With this knowledge, nobody dared to go against Becky’s decisions.


    Since she rejected the proposal, the department immediately began to redo it.


    Becky read some documents for a while, nning to wait for the revised bidding n to be handed


    in before lunch.


    However, Devin’s call came faster than the bidding n she was expecting.


    Becky stared at her vibrating phone on the desk and hesitated for a moment, her mind going back


    to what happened yesterday. After a while, she decided to answer it. “This is Becky.”


    “I’m outside the Fairway Group building. Should we go have lunch together?”


    It was as if Devin knew exactly what was on Becky’s mind.


    If it were in the past, Becky would’ve refused, but Devin did her a favor yesterday, and he was even


    waiting for her downstairs.


    So, she knew she had to give respect where respect was due.


    Becky nced at Talia, who just entered the room. “I’ll be down there in a few minutes,” she told


    Devin.


    After hanging up the phone, she asked Talia, “Is the bidding n finished?”


    Talia shook her head. “They expect it to bepleted by 2 p.m.”


    Becky stood up and took the coat that was draped over the chair she just sat on. “I see. Make sure


    to put the revised version on my desk by that time. I’ll be back soon.”


    “Okay, Miss Ramos.”


    Becky nodded and was about to walk past her to leave when a thought suddenly crossed her mind.


    She paused in her tracks. “By the way, would you like to have lunch together, Talia?”


    Talia used to be Stevie’s secretary; she was quite capable and intelligent. She recalled that before


    she entered the room, she overheard that Devin’s car was downstairs, which meant that he must be


    intending on having lunch together with Becky.


    Talia shook her head in response. “Thank you for your offer, Miss Ramos. However, I must decline


    since I haven’t finished my work yet.”


    Becky raised an eyebrow. “It seems that you’re being a little cautious, aren’t you?”


    She then smiled and patted Talia on the shoulder. “All right. I won’t force you toe with me, but


    still, I’d like you to go have lunch first.”


    Guilt seeped into Talia’s chest as she stared at the smile on Becky’s face, but she managed to


    appear as calm as always. “Yes, Miss Ramos.”


    Becky didn’t intend on prodding her further, so she simply walked towards the elevator and stepped


    inside when the doors opened.


    Her cold wasn’tpletely healed yet, and her nose still felt a little clogged. There was a lingering


    scent of perfume in the air that irritated her nostrils and made her sneeze heavily.


    Fortunately, the elevator quickly arrived on the first floor, and Becky took that opportunity to step out


    as fast as she could. When she exited through the doors, she spotted Devin waiting for her as he


    leisurely stood beside his car.


    Devin usually drove shy sports cars, but today, he was leaning against an inconspicuous-looking


    Mercedes-Benz. If she hadn’t noticed him standing there, she would’ve taken a while to find him.


    Devin spotted her approaching and graciously opened the car door for her. “You look a lot better


    now.”


    “Thank you,” Becky said politely as she got inside the vehicle.


    “I wonder if you will still be grateful to me after having lunch together.”


    Devin stared at her with a faint smile.


    Becky felt a little ufortable at being stared at so intently. It was like he could see right through


    her somehow.

    However, she simply kept quiet and averted her gaze.


    Devin smiled and closed the car door before taking his ce in the driver’s seat.
