In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 694

There were nineteen companies in total. There were even some companies that had gotten eliminated near the beginning. All the remaining companies were quite prevalent in A City.

Upon closer inspection, I realized that most of the proposals were rather similar to one another.

I was nodding off when Armond suddenly said, “Take a look at this. When you go on later, do what you usually do.”

I looked down to see another proposal in my hands. Taken aback, I noticed that it was a bidding document. I glanced sideways at Armond and asked in surprise, “Did you do this beforehand?”

He nodded. “Take a closer look. Don’t embarrass me.”

I felt a little lost for words. “That was dangerous, Mr. Murphy. If you already had a proposal ready, then why did you ask me to make my own? I’m about to go on stage, but now I have to memorize a different proposal. You must have more confidence in my skills than I do because I don’t think I can memorize everything in just a few minutes.”

“If you never try, you’ll never know,” he said lightly.

What the hell?

I glared at him and decided that I didn’t want to speak to him anymore. After that, I continued reading the proposal and was rather surprised.

Looking at him in shock, I asked, “Did you make this, or did Linda write it?”

He glanced at me and evaded my question. “You’re next.”

I pressed my lips together in a tight line before continuing to read the proposal closely. Ultimately, I had to grab the chance to memorize as much as I could.

“Next, we have the Murphy Corporation. Please get ready,” the announcer called out.

I started to panic. Despite the shiny new proposal, I was still nervous since I was preparing everything so last-minute.

Cold sweat started running down my back, and my hands started to shake.

Suddenly, a large hand wrapped around my own, and I looked up only to see Armond’s dark gaze staring at me.

His brow was relaxed, and his tone was light and breezy as he assured me, “Don’t worry. Even if this bidding doesn’t work out, you can still stay in Murphy Corporation.”

I glared at him and removed my hand from his. “Don’t act all kind and smiley with me. Next time, can you please at least let me know in advance?”
