Thanks to her past life memories, Nina knew the real estate projects in this new district would sell extremely well. She had originally planned to run this business entirely on her own, yet her company still lacked sufficient strength. She was also worried unexpected issues might pop up if the project kept getting delayed.

“How much investment do you need?”

“One billion dollars, and we split all profits evenly down the middle.”

Hearing the figure, Jensen replied, “I’ll think it over.”

“How soon can you give me a definite answer?”

“Three days.”

Nina spoke firmly, “I guarantee these properties will sell like hotcakes.”

“Finished talking?”

“Yeah.”

“Then eat your meal.”

Looking at the dishes laid out on the table, Nina suddenly had a great appetite. It was true that troubles gone made every meal taste far better.

“Heard Chase came to see you yesterday.”

Jensen brought it up casually. Nina made no attempt to hide the truth and nodded.

“He stopped by early in the morning and left soon after.”

“Chase is not someone worthy of your affection. I hope you can see that clearly.”

“I know that well enough. I never had feelings for him to begin with.”

Jensen’s hands paused mid-air holding his cutlery upon hearing her words.

“I still remember exactly how he treated me for Katrina’s sake back then. I only keep up superficial polite interactions with now, nothing more.”

“You want to get back at him?”

Since he had seen through her thoughts, Nina answered plainly. “It’s nothing like that. We live in totally different workds, and his family will never go far anyway. I won’t waste my time on him. I just play a few small tricks now and then.

She spoke in a casual tone, yet Jensen caught the cold indifference hidden deep in her eyes.

She had looked at Chase with nothing but dislike and disdain ever since high school, even if Chase himself had never noticed it. But Jensen saw everything clearly.

When Jensen fell silent, Nina did not push the conversation further

Once they finished dinner, Nina headed back to the company with him.

“Grey Group and your family’s business have maintained steady cooperation for years. I know you studied finance overseas for a long time. You know how to make reports, go through contracts and analyze market trends, yet textbook knowledge is never the same as real practice. Gaining hands-on experience will help you adapt faster and take over your family’s business smoothly in the future.”

Nina fully agreed with what he said. All the practical skills she had picked up while staying by Chase’s side in her past life had laid a solid foundation for her to run The T Company well now.

“Sir, it’s Ms. Beaumont calling for you.”

A young secretary stood at his office door holding the phone. Nina took a few steps back quietly right away. She knew perfectly well she ought to keep her distance from a man who already had a fiancee.

“I’ll leave you to take the call. I’ll go learn work routines with Kent instead.”

Jensen pressed his lips together and said nothing.

Only after Nina walked away did he cast a cold glance at the secretary. The young woman grew nervous instantly, fearing she had ruined his moment, and hung her head timidly.

Jensen answered the phone, and a soft female voice came through the line.

“Jensen, when will you be back? I’m all alone in Halmont and so bored.”

“I told you not to contact me again.” His voice turned icy cold.

The woman sounded wronged. “You changed your number and left me no way to reach you, so I…”

“So you thought it fine to ring up the executive department? Ms. Beaumont, you need to understand I hold no romantic feelings toward you at all. I agreed to this engagement merely to take responsibility as you wished, and I will keep that word. But stop calling me nonstop to keep tabs on me.”

He ended the call right after.

Kent had just arranged for Nina to tour the office floors and different departments downstairs. He came back and noticed Jensen’s terrible mood.

“Was that Ms. Beaumont again, sir?”

“Yes.”

“She’s made over a hundred calls to you in half a month. You’ve already changed your private number three times. If this keeps going on…”
