My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1098

Chapter 1098: Ambush

Every word that Preston spoke was carefully chosen, each one carrying its significance.

He conveyed to the architects that he had full confidence in securing the project, especially with Jenson's support.

Jenson, being the main person in charge of the museum project, had given his tacit approval. If these two architects didn't cooperate with Preston's request, wouldn't that also offend Jenson?

Preston's words successfully planted deep thoughts in their minds. After a brief silence, the architects nodded and said, "Mr. Walker, we understand your intention. However, the interior decoration and design sketches are not in our hands. We can provide you with a drawing based on our memory. But obtaining the sketches would require approval from Summer and Sophie. We'll need to go through the formal procedures of signatures and registration, which might not be ideal."

Preston nodded, "That's fine. Let's go with what you've suggested."

The architects agreed, and the conversation naturally drifted away. They promised to organize the sketches and email them to Quintus by the evening. After that, Preston didn't engage them in further conversation; he let them leave.

Once the architects were gone, Quintus approached Preston and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Walker, can we trust them?"

"I made my intentions clear. If they're sensible, they'll follow through," Preston confidently asserted. Winning people over was his expertise.

Satisfied, Preston left the museum in high spirits. Upon returning to Armstrong Corp, he took Quintus directly to his office. As for Grace, the secretary who had been left by Preston earlier, he completely disregarded her, reflecting a working attitude that left the secretary feeling oppressed.

Horace was aware of this but chose to ignore him for now.

In the evening, the architects sent the sketches to Quintus, who promptly reported to Preston.

The next morning, armed with the sketches, Preston went to see Jenson. Jenson, upon seeing what Preston had "meticulously prepared," expressed his satisfaction.

On the day the results were revealed, Jenson personally called Preston. He said, "I agreed to this cooperation because of you, Mr. Walker. Based solely on Armstrong Corp's capabilities and current reputation, I wouldn't have agreed. After all, Armstrong Corp has had its fair share of issues, whether true or false, and it doesn't leave a good impression."

Preston was overjoyed with Jenson's words, as they filled his vanity. He confidently replied, "Mr. Evans, rest assured. With me around, both Armstrong Corp and this project are foolproof. Armstrong Corp is fully committed to supporting the museum and you, Mr. Evans. I take full responsibility for this project at Armstrong Corp, and you can inform me of any requirements. I'll handle it."

Jenson expressed his satisfaction, emphasizing how enjoyable it was to work with Preston. The collaboration was officially sealed, and Preston, in high spirits, immediately instructed Quintus to convey the good news to Horace and presented several requests.

Quintus conveyed each of Preston's requests to Horace, who remained expressionless and unresponsive. Horace's secretary found it hard to endure and couldn't help asking, "Quintus, what does Manager Walker mean? All the project members are to follow his orders? Mr. Burris is in charge of the entire Armstrong Corp, and naturally, Mr. Burris is the overall leader. Manager Walker is just the project manager. What does Manager Walker want?"

Quintus, however, was not intimidated by Horace. Currently, with Preston's recent success in securing the museum project, Quintus was proud and confident. Even in front of Horace, Quintus's response was dismissive. He said, "Mr. Burris, of course, Armstrong Corp is under your leadership. However, Mr. Evans made it clear that Armstrong Corp got this project because of President Walker. If we don't follow his instructions, Mr. Evans might think Armstrong Corp is not cooperating, and the project might fall through!"

Horace's secretary, hearing Quintus directly address Preston as President Walker, retorted, "Why are you calling him that? President Walker? It's a joke. Preston is just a manager in Armstrong Corp. Calling himself President Walker is ridiculous."

Quintus snorted, ignoring the comment, fully embracing Preston's arrogant demeanor.
