In Inchee Company, Nelson sat in front of his desk.
Richard was reporting to him.
"Mr. Luther, you're right. The Granger family is indeed looking into Miss George's whereabouts. However, we've arranged everything ahead of time. They won't be able to find out that you were with her."
Nelson nodded and said, "Great."
Richard asked again with curiosity, "Aren't you pursuing Miss George? Wouldn't it be better if you just tell her candidly about your identity? Miss George might even accept you even quicker if you do so!"
Nelson shook his head and replied, "You don't understand. Amos is too excellent. Once he discovers my existence now, he will definitely find a way to investigate me thoroughly. Then, all our plans will be in vain! That's not the result we want, hmm?"
Richard nodded and said, "You're always so thorough, sir."
Nelson paused for a while and said, "However, they are incredibly sharp-witted by investigating me so soon. We have to speed up. Have we received the improved proposal of the cooperation project between Valiant East and us?"
Richard nodded and said, "Yes, it's here."
Nelson opened the file and looked at it. He said, "They finished it in such a short time? How efficient!"
Richard asked, "So, are we going to agree to collaborate with them?"
Nelson shook his head and said, "No! Call them back and say that there are still some parts that need to be modified. Also, help me reserve a place with some unique design elements. I want it to be somewhere far and if possible, far enough to make someone have to stay a night.
Richard gave a knowing smile.
"Okay, I got it!"
Naomi received a call from her colleague.
"There is a problem with your client's project.
Please deal with it."
Naomi nodded and replied, "Okay, I'll go!"
However, her colleague was a little bewildered and said, "Why do I feel that they are deliberately picking on us? We've absolutely done an excellent job in preparing this project! In my opinion, they are being too picky, so I suggest you give up." Naomi frowned and said, "No, I have to try again!" On one hand, she wanted to prove herself in her job. On the other hand, she thought that there must be something wrong with her work, otherwise her client would not be able to point out the flaws in it.
Sometimes, there was nothing wrong in being a perfectionist.
After hanging up on the phone call with her colleague, Naomi dialed Nelson's number.
"Excuse me, Mr. Luther, is there a chance for us to talk again? My colleague told me that there are some parts of the project that you aren't satisfied with, right?"
Nelson stood on a ship that was sailing to an island.
He was touching the flowing water as he replied in an indifferent tone, "I'm sorry, Miss George. I'm afraid I can't meet you for the next few days. I'm on my way to handle some business, and now I'm at Sunny Island in Floral City."
Naomi furrowed her brow. According to the company's set of etiquette, they should always prioritize their clients' needs.
The time taken to solve the problems in her job would also be taken into account for the evaluation of her performance. It would be vital in determining whether she was qualified for her job or not.
She had just made the bet with Cynthia. Thus, she really did not want to lose and disgrace her parents.
Finally, Naomi decided to go to Floral City.
"Mr. Luther, could you please send me your location? I will go to Floral City and meet with you face-to-face."
The corners of Nelson's lips curled up as he said anxiously.
He said anxiously, "It's not too convenient, is it? It's too troublesome for you! Why don't you wait for me to go back in three days?"
"That's alright! I can head over there today!"
After a while, the location was sent over. Naomi packed up her belongings and headed straight to Floral City without even going home.
It was not until she got on a bus that she remembered to make a phone call to Eudora, saying that she was on a business trip.
