He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 540

Julian looked at Scarlett, "I know you've been really interested in that project. If you want to make a play for it, I'm with you all the way."

Scarlett pursed her lips:

"Good. I was worried you'd think I was being reckless by making moves without clearing it with you first."

Julian chuckled:

"Not at all. I trust your judgment, and I believe in your capabilities."

Being trusted and validated felt incredible.

The unwavering support sent another quiet tremor through Scarlett's heart. She smiled and closed her eyes again.

Twenty minutes later, they pulled up to the venue.

Scarlett and Julian stepped out of the car and headed straight into the Architecture Summit.

With Country H undergoing rapid development, new infrastructure projects were booming everywhere. The summit had drawn developers and architectural firms of all sizes from across the nation.

Julian already held top-tier status in the design world, and Scarlett had recently delivered several highly praised projects through Croft Design Studio.

So, the moment they walked onto the floor, multiple developers approached them, eager to talk business.

The three companies that had abruptly terminated their contracts hadn't actually hurt them. If anything, it had freed up their schedule to pursue higher-quality, more lucrative opportunities.

While navigating the crowd, Scarlett and Julian ran into Craig Schmidt—Sylvia's adoptive father.

To Scarlett's surprise, Craig had entirely dropped his previous arrogant attitude, practically rushing over and extending his hand enthusiastically to greet them both.

The news of Sylvia being locked up again following the drug bust at the party had spread through the elite circles like wildfire.

Craig had once been so proud to welcome his biological daughter home, but now she was nothing but a massive liability.

In his initial fit of protective rage, he had convinced two other developers to cut ties with Croft Design Studio.

But once the dust settled, he realized that Julian's team operated at a level far above the industry standard. The firms he hired to replace them couldn't even come close to producing the same quality of blueprints.
