Were they together back then?
Antonio Easton’s mind was a bit muddled. After a moment, he straightened his thoughts and asked, "How did you break up?"
"I was dumped, and I still don’t know the reason."
Pedro Langley answered honestly, dispelling Antonio Easton’s doubts.
Antonio Easton nodded.
This kind of unkind thing seems like something Nora Scott would do...
He felt a few seconds of sympathy for Pedro Langley, and was slightly surprised by Pedro Langley’s infatuation. Internally, Antonio Easton approved of him a bit more.
After a brief pause, Antonio Easton asked, "Why are you telling me this?"
With his eyelids slightly drooped, a mix of brightness and darkness in his gaze, Pedro Langley said word by word, "I’m committed to her for life."
Antonio Easton was startled again.
Given his age, he was still reserved about emotions. Pedro Langley daring to show his heart directly in front of an elder left Antonio Easton inevitably flustered.
This young man, indeed, always comes out with astonishing words. And, every word he says carries quite a bit of information, so even though Antonio Easton has seen much, it takes him time to digest.
After a short while, Antonio Easton understood a bit and calmly inquired, "So?"
Finally, Pedro Langley revealed his purpose.
On a peaceful afternoon, the long-lost sunlight pierced through the clouds, casting strands of light.
The sunlight slanted into the room, spreading a soft brightness across the floor.
In the reception room, Nora Scott sat on a single-seater sofa, adjacent to her was an interior designer that Ernesto Scott had specially sourced from the Scott company.
At that moment, the designer held a bunch of blueprints, using a computer, to explain the design plan to Nora Scott in detail.
"Miss Scott, have you decided on this set?"
After the explanation, the designer cautiously asked, pointing to a particular plan.
Nora Scott responded in a faint tone.
The designer breathed a sigh of relief internally.
Having arrived at nine in the morning and talked until now, his lips were about to blister, and finally, they had a preliminary decision.
"Miss Scott, then I’ll be leaving now. I’ll show you the design drawings in a few days."
The designer stood up, first placing the laptop on the table properly, then went to arrange the pile of blueprints on the table.
Nora Scott gave him a sidelong glance.
The designer’s movements instantly froze, cold sweat pouring down his back. He forced a smile and asked, "Miss Scott, is there anything else you need?"
Nora Scott curled her lips into a smile, "I’m quite interested in these blueprints; leave them with me."
With a slight change in expression, the designer asked in surprise, "Are you sure?"
Seeing Nora Scott’s calm demeanor, the designer slowly exhaled and figured he should clarify with this picky client.
"To be honest, these blueprints are not professional. Ninety percent of people cannot understand them," the designer explained. "What I showed you on the computer were all the architectural renderings, while most of the contents on the blueprints belong to the internal structure we use during our explanations."
Because the client was from the Scott family, the designer placed great importance and brought everything he could.
For an average client, the designer wouldn’t even bother bringing these professional blueprints, as during explanations, nine out of ten clients wouldn’t understand anyway.
For clients, it’s better to look at the results instead of getting dizzy from listening.
"Can’t they be left behind?" Nora Scott slightly squinted her eyes.
She had a hint of a smile, but her gaze swept over the designer, who felt a chill and instinctively avoided it.
The designer lowered his head and stopped his arranging actions, meekly saying, "I suppose so; if you want to keep them, then keep them."
Nora Scott chuckled softly, "Please see yourself out."
The designer pushed up his glasses, wisely said "see you next time," and quickly left. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel※fire.net
On his way out, he couldn’t help but look back and wipe the sweat off his forehead.
This young lady is indeed pleasing to the eye in appearance, but her undeniable commanding aura always, intentionally or not, creeps people out.
Having discussed with her for so long, he was cautious the whole time and often found himself being led along by her words, sometimes not even sure what he was saying.
They say she’s an illegitimate daughter...
Where does this powerful aura come from?
The designer left in trepidation, deeply regretting taking on this task.
In the reception room.
Lisa came over with a new tray of tea.
She glanced sideways at Nora Scott.
She had been nearby just now, having overheard the entire conversation between Nora Scott and the designer. She glanced at the design blueprints on the table, her expression becoming increasingly disdainful.
"Miss Scott, do you really want to keep these blueprints?" Lisa deliberately asked.
The news about Nora Scott is crystal clear and easily searchable online.
