Chapter 167 Passed By Distantly
Everyone turned to her instantly. L got her mind back and said, "It''s fine. I think we can build scenic
spots without removing any local facilities or residences."
She paused to look over the acquisition ns before adding, "For the nt resources, I suggest we
regrly harvest in bulk. Don''t give the others a chance. Thank you!"
When she finished, everyone talked over each other for a while. They nodded in agreement. "Miss Li''s
suggestion is good!" Jeremy took the lead in supporting her ideas.
"Yes, I think it''s great."
More people followed suit. Harry announced, "All right, add Miss Li''s advice into the n. I''ve
contacted the government of Echo Bay, and I''m assigning Jeremy to brainstorm with the managers of
the Design and nning departments. I need a new design in a week!"
Jeremy nodded eagerly. "Yes, sir!"
Jeremy was ttered that CEO had put him in charge of such an important project.
"Don''t forget to coordinate with the head of the town. It''s wise to involve the locals in the construction.
As to other aspects, Jeremy and the Design and nning department managers cane over my
office for a detailed discussion."
Harry stood up with a folder in hand. "Dismissed."
All the executives filed out, and L was thest to leave the meeting room.
The Project Manager role should''ve gone to her or Julie Tan. It didn''t make sense.
Was CEO afraid that either women couldn''t do it? Or did he think they weren''t as good as men?
Bullshit!
A sudden pain in her foot interrupted her thoughts. Hissing in pain, she held onto the handrail for
support.
Damn! This was the first time L had ever worn stilettos, and she twisted her ankle.
Harry nced back before stepping into the elevator. He saw L holding onto the handrail in pain.
On instinct, he wanted to approach her. But he hesitated before finally entering the elevator.
L gently moved her ankle to check how bad it was. Feeling the pain start to fade, she decided it
wasn''t serious. She took a few careful steps, and nothing happened.
By this time, L was left alone in the conference floor. She moved her ankle again before walking to
the elevator.
No more stilettos for me…
At lunchtime.
L set a meeting at a nearby coffee shop.
The stranger she had an appointment with was dressed in a grey shirt and was about 1.9 meters tall.
He was handsome, but looked a bit feminine. He stood up upon seeing L, eyes alight in interest.
L was very attractive. He couldn''t help fantasizing how great she must be in bed. He''d love to pay
for a night with her.
At his hungry stare, L looked at him in disgust. Not wanting to spend any more time than necessary
with him, she immediately got down to business.
She took out a check for 20, 000 and pushed it towards the man. "You''ll get another 20, 000 after the
job is done."
The man looked at the check hesitantly. He could make 40, 000 from this. Easy money! But the target
was International Queen Ynda! He could end up getting murdered by her bodyguard or someone
else.

L sensed his doubt and reassured him, "Besides the terrifying man with her, she won''t be
apanied by anyone else during her dress fitting. Don''t worry!"
Without even taking a sip of the coffee served at the table, she immediately left to return to the office as
soon as the meeting was over.
She spotted Harry, who was on his way out. As they approached each other, she deliberately looked at
her mobile phone.
They were so close that their shoulders almost brushed. She could even smell his familiar scent.
Despite this, neither of them acknowledged each other.
They passed each other indifferently. Nearby, Joey observed the pair suspiciously. What''s wrong with
them? Fighting again?
At 7 o''clock in the evening.
Ynda arrived holding a tall man''s arm at a shop called Best Love International Wedding Dress. The
whole staff greeted them enthusiastically. "Wee to Best Love, Mr. Si and Miss Mo!"
Ynda nodded gracefully to them, while Harry followed them inside quietly.
"Miss Mo, Mr. Si, this is a new dress by French designer Pitt. It took him 99 days to sew this by hand."
The shop manager introduced, getting a couple of assistants to push in a mannequin wearing a white
elegantlyced bandeau dress.
Ynda studied it and nodded in satisfaction. She turned to her fiance happily. "Isn''t it lovely, Harry?"
"Try it," the man said without looking up. Ynda didn''t mind his disinterest. She nodded to the
manager and entered the fitting room.
"That''s International Queen Ynda! The stoic and ssy man is Harry Si, the CEO of SL International
Group!" Several girls whispered excitedly to each other at the other side of the fitting room door.
Some covered their mouths in surprise. "A talented man and a beautiful woman. Such a perfect
match!"
"Doesn''t the SL International Group have a wedding dress line? It''s called P&M Dresses or something,
"
"Oh my god! P&M Gowns ?" squealed one of the girls. "Isn''t that the shop where the cheapest items
cost hundreds of thousands, and the most expensive ones are priceless?"
"Yeah! Wedding dresses from P&M Gowns are all designed by famous people!"
The girls started daydreaming, shooting Harry longing looks from time to time. He was so handsome
and stylish!
"Doesn''t Mr. Si seem unhappy?" A girl whispered in another one''s ear.
The other girl looked at her in disapproval. "You don''t know that! Although Mr. Si is ssy, they say he''s
a cold person. A re from him can apparently frighten a man enough to wet his pants!"
"Wow!" The girl who was concerned about Harry stared at him in awe. They were still gossiping among
themselves when Ynda came out of the fitting room.
The sight of her beauty rendered them speechless. With a coy smile, Ynda turned to the man on the
sofa still engrossed with his mobile phone. "Harry, what do you think of this one?"
Harry raised his eyes briefly and nodded, "Looks fine." He immediately turned back to his phone.
"Show me the next one."
Meanwhile, a man approached the shop entrance and one of the employees greeted him. "Good
evening, Sir. We are already closed today. Pleasee back tomorrow."
It was past closing time, but their manager said some VIP would arrive tonight, so everyone had to
work overtime.
The man raised his handsome face and charmed the girl with a smile. "I''m actually looking for Ynda.
I''m her friend."
"Oh, my mistake. This way, please." The girl didn''t question the man and respectfully took him into the
VIP section of the shop.
At the VIP section, Ynda was appraising the wedding dresses being rmended by the manager
one after the other. When the neer saw her, his eyes lit up.
The man immediately put on an affectionate expression and strode over, "Ynda!"
Ynda stared nkly at the stranger moving towards her. The big hug he gave her shocked everyone
into silence. Thinking he was a passionate fan, Ynda pushed him away in embarrassment. "Excuse
me, sir!"
