Charlie could finally confirm Kylie’s objective. Her main motive of approaching him must be for the Rejuvenating Pill. Therefore, there was no need for him to feel threatened by Kylie's kind favors.
After all, the small favors she was giving his family were insignificant in comparison to the value of the Rejuvenating Pill.
Yet, Claire was slightly apprehensive about the favor." Maybe I should just reject her..."
Charlie noticed Claire's slight disappointment. "Wife, d o you want to accept the project?”
Claire hesitated a little at first, before finally answering him with a slight nod. "Well, I do..."
She quickly explained to Charlie, "I'm interested in the project, but not for the money. Her villa provides a really good foundation and base to work on. It’s a combination of two villas. There won't be any villas of this type in Aurous Hill anymore. Besides, she has a high budget for renovation and design. There will be more room for the interior designer to play with a higher budget. In this way, there is an opportunity for me to create a high-quality interior design project..."
Claire then thought of something and looked at
Charlie timidly. She said softly, "Husband... A designer will eventually need their own representative works. I
f the designer can win some awards with their designs, that will pose a great help to the designer and the designer’s firm. I still don't have the chance to be solely in charge of a whole project including the design, so I don't have any works that can be used for the competition..."
Charlie nodded, understanding her plight. Then he asked, "By the way, Wife, did you do the interior design for the Emgrand Group's six-star hotel?"
"I didn't," Claire explained. "A very famous overseas design firm did the overall design for the Emgrand Group’s six-star hotel. It's normal for such a large project to use a well-known designer's work.”
Although she did direct some productions herself, the scale of the production was much smaller. For example, she was fully in charge of renovating the home of Helen's parents. Essentially, her past work was like a micro movie. It was indeed something she was proud of, but it was not significant enough to participate in various film festivals and awards.
An opportunity came knocking on Claire's door when Kylie proposed a budget of fifty million dollars to renovate Graham's old villa. Claire was given enough budget and a good resource to work with. If Claire agreed, she could make it her first masterpiece.
Indeed, the project was very attractive to Claire.
Charlie stopped his train of thoughts and studied Claire’s expression. He smiled gently and said, "Wife, I've said it before. You don't have to feel burdened at all. You can go ahead and accept the project if you think it's suitable for you. Be confident and show off your skills!”
Claire was glad to hear that and asked excitedly, "Can I really take the project?"
