Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick) novel Chapter 246

"How much longer do I plan to keep avoiding the past?"

I stared at Ryan.

Hearing his question, I questioned myself as well.

"Yes. Can I keep avoiding the past for the rest of my life?"

Seeing that I didn't speak, Ryan continued, "Admittedly, City Y is a city with the most profound cultural implication and the best potential among all the cities across the country. No matter how successful your career in other cities is, it is just a petty success that won't serve the world. Only by pursuing your career in City Y will more people know you." He paused, saying, "Of course, if you want to stay in my studio in Town S for the rest of my life, I won't force you either."

Although he said so verbally, the look on his face indicated that he couldn't be more disappointed in me.

I knew that Ryan, who was my mentor, hoped that I could be better.

Back then, the reason why I had given up everything to learn from him was that I wanted to be a better me.

Moreover, over the past five years, Patrick rarely occurred to me.

I thought that I should have completely let go of him in my heart.

After struggling in my heart a few times, I said to Ryan, "Master, I plan to take on this project. And I'll update them on my decision in a minute."

"Have you indeed decided?" Hearing my words, Ryan was a little surprised.

It seemed that he didn't expect that I would make up my mind so quickly.

"Yes." I got up and smiled at him, "It's such a good opportunity. Even though I am obsessed with the past, I surely can't give up the future."

After saying that, I went out and updated the staff of the company in City Y.

After agreeing on the time with the counterpart, I set out the next day.

This time, I would go to City Y alone. And I would be so busy there that I wouldn't have time to take care of Glenn. Taking this kind of situation into consideration, I left Glenn behind in Town S, entrusting Ryan to take

care of him.

After I arrived at an airport in City Y, Calvin Tobin, a manager in charge of the private clubhouse project, came to pick me up in person.

Before that, he was the one that had been communicating with me as well.

Having booked a hotel for me, he directly sent me to the hotel after picking me up.

In the hall of the hotel, Calvin said to me, "Miss Nolan, the investor is quite concerned about this project. Knowing that you were here, he asked me to take you to the construction site and check its detailed situation this afternoon. If you don't have any concerns, we will get a contract signed first within today or within tomorrow at the latest." Hearing his words, I frowned slightly, "How come we have to sign the contract so fast?"

I had taken on many projects before, either big or small.

It was indeed the first time that I had seen such an anxious investor.

Sensing my attitude, Clavin, who seemed to fear that I would go back on my words, quickly said, "How come you think so? It is not fast at all. Can't you see how much time this year has passed? If we don't move fast, we probably will have to do the planation next year. In that case, the investor will have to spend a lot more money, won't he?"

Calculating the time, I thought that Calvin's words did make sense.

City Y was different from City S.

The winter in City Y came early. Its weather was colder and more torrid. Therefore, the tree species which would be used here and the planation time would be different as well.

Regarding these, I had to spend some time preparing them in advance.

After pondering on it for a moment, I nodded, "Okay, let's go to the construction site this afternoon."

It was in September now. The weather in City Y was similar to that in City S.

After putting down my luggage, I went to the construction site with Calvin.

There was some distance between the construction site and the hotel where I lived. It took me about one hour and a half to get there by car.

Staring at the vast and barren land in front of me, I couldn't help feeling a little surprised, saying, "Will a private clubhouse be built on such a large piece of land?"

"Yes." Calvin nodded and said quite proudly, "Speaking of our investor, he surely isn't in a shortage of money. For anything you need to complete the project, you don't have to worry about whether the fund will be insufficient."

I looked around, thinking that the area nearby the construction site was indeed a little desolate. Except for a piece of forest, there was nothing else.

Thinking of the fact that it took me one hour and a half to get here in a car, I asked again, "How should I come here in the future?"

Calvin seemed to have guessed early that I was going to ask him about this. He said proudly, "Don't worry! According to the investor, he will assign a driver to be by your side with a car. Wherever you want to go, you can feel free to call the driver."

"That's good..."

"The investor is indeed rich and overbearing."
