Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 54
With a light heart, Catherine left the office and started driving to Green Mountain.
This was the most expensive luxury villa neighborhood in Melbourne. Only the really rich people could afford the property over here.
Her car was stopped by the security guard at the neighborhood entrance, thus she had to walk to the house.
A man who looked about 30 years old was standing by the swimming pool. The tall man had long and gentle eyebrows. The tailor-made black business suit looked especially great on him.
Startled, she asked tentatively, “Mr. Lyons?”
“Yes. Are you the designer from Joseph’s company? You’re way younger than I expected.” A look of genuine surprise flashed across Wesley’s eyes.
This woman in front of him right now was probably the most beautiful woman he had seen since returning to Melbourne. Others might have thought Joseph had sent this woman over to seduce him.
However, the unswerving determination in her eyes revealed that she was a serious professional.
“I was President Talton’s junior in university. Mr. Lyons, you’re welcome to have me replaced if you’re not satisfied after seeing my designs. I’ll not take it personally.”
Catherine’s reply was calm yet confident. “Besides, I don’t think age has anything to do with capability. You’re pretty young yourself, Mr. Lyons.”
Wesley smiled. “I can’t argue with that.”
She handed him her name card.
He glanced at it. “Catherine Jones. The name rings a bell.”
She felt her heart skip a beat. For fear that he might have heard about the rumors, she replied immediately, “It’s quite a common name. If you don’t mind, Mr. Lyons, you can tell me your ideas as we tour around the villa.”
Then, he led the way and showed her around the massive villa.
Besides, he mentioned his wish of having a gym, theater, basketball court, and indoor swimming pool.
