Chapter 58 Was Gavin's Hogsteadish Name Adriel Tucker?
"Tell him directly to give up on his intentions. I won't meet anyone from the bidding companies until after the bidding is over!" Raymond said firmly.
"That's exactly what I told him. But he's really persistent. He even insisted that I take a look at the proposal he prepared. And you know what? It's incredibly detailed."
"You actually looked at his proposal?"
"Yes, I couldn't refuse his enthusiasm."
"Nolan, tell me you didn't take a bribe from him."
"Raymond, you shouldn't make baseless accusations. Am I someone who's desperate for money? Would I really accept a bribe from him?" Nolan was infuriated by these words. "Go ahead and investigate. If you find that I've taken a single cent from him, I'll chop off my own hand and give it to you!"
"I was just joking. Why are you overreacting? Who wants your hands?"
"Joking?" Nolan couldn't believe his ears when Raymond said it. "Raymond, is that really you? Are you a person like making jokes?"
This question caught Raymond off guard. Indeed, he was never the type to make jokes.
"Oh... I see now. Love, huh?" Raymond mocked. "People in love are different from their usual selves. I understand, I understand."
"Get lost!" Raymond snapped, then checked the time and glanced up at the hospital room. Damion still hadn't come out yet, and considering how much he liked her, the little guy probably wouldn't leave soon.
"You stay with Damion at the hospital, I'll go back to the villa for a while."
Raymond said before Nolan could say anything, and quickly walked away.
Today, Damion was truly content. He lay in Bethany's embrace for a long time, talking to her and listening to her stories.
"Alright, Tyrone, you've been here for the whole afternoon. If you don't go back, Ainsley will start worrying," Bethany gently reminded him.
"Okay, Beth." After speaking, Damion kissed her on the cheek and said, "Take good care of yourself and your health."
"I will," Bethany responded.
Reluctantly, Damion left the hospital room. Not long after he had left, Raymond entered, carrying a lunchbox in his hand.
"I asked the doctor, as long as it's not spicy or hard-to-digest food, you don't have many dietary restrictions," Raymond said as he brought the food out.
Soon, the whole room was filled with the aroma of the meal. The food he had bought for her earlier was light, but this time it was particularly sumptuous.
"Try it," Raymond placed all the dishes in front of her and handed her the knife and fork.
This man really was unpredictable. Just a moment ago, he was so fierce when he left, but now he was being gentle.
Bethany was indeed hungry at this moment, so she picked up a bite and put it in her mouth. Raymond hurriedly asked, "How does it taste?"
"Mhmm." Bethany nodded with certainty. "Good."
"Really?" Raymond's face lit up with a smile when he heard Bethany say it was delicious.
"It's really tasty. Where did you buy it from? The flavor is great."
"I made it," Raymond said, and even his expression seemed a little proud.
"You made it?" Bethany was quite surprised, but when she remembered the first time she went to his house and he was wearing an apron in the kitchen, it was evident that he really knew how to cook.
Raymond took the documents and said, "I see. You can go and attend to your work."
"Okay, Mr. Zavala, Dr. Caldwell, then I'll leave." Morgan slightly bowed to both of them and then walked out.
"You can focus on your work, I'll just read for a while and won't disturb you," Bethany said as she picked up the book placed by the bedside and started reading.
This woman was considerate in this aspect. So, Bethany lay sitting on the hospital bed reading medical books while Raymond sat upright at the desk reviewing the documents.
The warm light shone on them, creating a quiet atmosphere with a hint of warmth.
While reviewing the documents, Raymond occasionally glanced at Bethany. He noticed that she was reading the book with great concentration, as if she was studying. He also noticed that she would occasionally make various marks in the book.
Despite already having impressive medical skills, her continuous commitment to learning was truly remarkable.
Raymond redirected his gaze and continued reading the documents in his hand. After finishing one company's profile, he set it aside and revealed the next one.
Ocean International Company?
Although Ocean International Company was a large corporation, this was their first venture into the construction industry. Subconsciously, Raymond thought they might not be very experienced, assuming that this company would be among the ten eliminated ones.
To his surprise, it was actually one of the six chosen companies. Coupled with Nolan's comment about their detailed business proposal, Raymond became slightly interested and wanted to see how they had performed.
So he opened the document. The first section provided a detailed overview of Ocean International Company, followed by information about its subsidiary, Ocean Construction, including details about their CEO, Gavin.
Raymond was taken aback by Gavin's age. It was unusual for someone so young to hold the position of director in a subsidiary company of a large corporation like Ocean International Company.
Raymond had already intended to turn to the next page, but suddenly he noticed Gavin's Hogsteadish name, Adriel Tucker?
