“Easton, sorry to keep you waiting,” Sophia said. Easton turned around, his gaze softening as he looked at Sophia, a faint smile tugging at his lips. That’s okay” Emily had already printed out two copies of the documents and placed a set in front of each of them.
Easton listened closely as Sophia explained the project plan and broke down the new design. Since they were short on time, Sophia had already marked out all the essentials. Easton instantly got what she was going for.
Everyone knew Sophia was a total professional when it came to work.
Easton looked genuinely satisfied with the new proposal. Gordon and Emily, sitting nearby, could see from his face that he was in a great mood.
“Easton, this is our overall concept. Please take a look and let me know if there’s anything you’d like us to adjust or improve,” Sophia said.
When Sophia saw Easton again, she felt a wave of nerves. After everything that had happened between them lately-the arguments, the fight, and last night’s incident-there was no way anyone could just pretend it was business as usual. Things felt awkward.
But Easton was the kind of guy who dominated the business world with ease, and he seemed to have a knack for reading people. During this temporary meeting, he didn’t put any pressure on her at all.
On the contrary, he showed genuine respect for their discussion. He went through every highlighted point with care, and whenever something wasn’t clear, he simply asked about it. It was nothing like his usual bossy, hard- to-please attitude.
‘Had he really changed?’ Sophia wondered.
“I’m very pleased with the proposal. There’s nothing I’d ask you to change. If Crestview Group can maintain this level of professionalism, the project should run much more smoothly, and I won’t need to come down in person. Don’t you agree, Sophia?” Easton said, smiling slightly.
Sophia brushed off all those thoughts she had just had. ‘So I missed one meeting, big deal. It’s not like Crestview Group ever dropped the ball on anything after that, she thought.
What a snarky piece of work.
Seriously, take away his big-shot CEO mask and he’s even more shameless than any guy I’ve ever met,’ Sophia muttered in her head.
Sophia flashed a businesslike smile. “Easton, I’m sorry I couldn’t make it to the last meeting. It was for personal reasons.
“But you can count on us. Since Foster Group chose to team up with us, we’re fully committed and we’ll make sure everything goes off without a hitch.”
When Easton stood up, Sophia and the others followed suit.
He strolled over to Sophia, looking completely at ease. “Don’t you have anything to ask me?”
Easton’s sudden question caught Sophia off guard. For a moment, she found herself wondering if there was something she was supposed to ask him.
But nothing came to mind. And with Gordon and Emily right there, she instantly felt awkward.
Seeing her stay silent, Easton smirked, a hint of smugness in his eyes. “Guess I’ll get going then. You can ask me when I get back. Just so you know, the door code is your birthday.”
As soon as Sophia heard that, it all clicked.
What’s with him moving next door to me? And that line-talk about giving people the wrong idea, Sophia grumbled to herself.
Emily stood to the side, as if she had overheard something she shouldn’t have. She watched Sophia’s face

flush, then harden.
Before Sophia could snap out of it, Easton and Gordon had already left the room.
Seeing Easton and Gordon heading out, Emily hurried to send them off for Sophia.
Sophia was clearly annoyed. She grabbed her files and headed straight back to her office.
Easton left the conference room clearly in a great mood.
