One Night Stand With That Beggar

In Inchee Company, Nelson sat in front of his desk.

Richard was reporting to him.

“Mr. Luther, you’re right. The Granger family is indeed looking into Miss George’s whereabouts. However, we’ve arranged everything ahead of time. They won’t be able to find out that you were with her.”

Nelson nodded and said, “Great.”

Richard asked again with curiosity, “Aren’t you pursuing Miss George? Wouldn’t it be better if you just tell her candidly about your identity? Miss George might even accept you even quicker if you do so!”

Nelson shook his head and replied, “You don’t understand. Amos is too excellent. Once he discovers my existence now, he will definitely find a way to investigate me thoroughly. Then, all our plans will be in vain! That’s not the result we want, hmm?”

Richard nodded and said, “You’re always so thorough, sir.”

Nelson paused for a while and said, “However, they are incredibly sharp-witted by investigating me so soon. We have to speed up. Have we received the improved proposal of the cooperation project between Valiant East and us?”

Richard nodded and said, “Yes, it’s here.”

Nelson opened the file and looked at it. He said, “They finished it in such a short time? How efficient!”

Richard asked, “So, are we going to agree to collaborate with them?”

Nelson shook his head and said, “No! Call them back and say that there are still some parts that need to be modified. Also, help me reserve a place with some unique design elements. I want it to be somewhere far and if possible, far enough to make someone have to stay a night.

Richard gave a knowing smile.

“Okay, I got it!”

…

Naomi received a call from her colleague.

“There is a problem with your client’s project. Please deal with it.”

Naomi nodded and replied, “Okay, I’ll go!”

However, her colleague was a little bewildered and said, “Why do I feel that they are deliberately picking on us? We’ve absolutely done an excellent job in preparing this project! In my opinion, they are being too picky, so I suggest you give up.”

Naomi frowned and said, “No, I have to try again!”

On one hand, she wanted to prove herself in her job. On the other hand, she thought that there must be something wrong with her work, otherwise her client would not be able to point out the flaws in it.

Sometimes, there was nothing wrong in being a perfectionist.

After hanging up on the phone call with her colleague, Naomi dialed Nelson’s number.

“Excuse me, Mr. Luther, is there a chance for us to talk again? My colleague told me that there are some parts of the project that you aren’t satisfied with, right?”

Nelson stood on a ship that was sailing to an island.

He was touching the flowing water as he replied in an indifferent tone, “I’m sorry, Miss George. I’m afraid I can’t meet you for the next few days. I’m on my way to handle some business, and now I’m at Sunny Island in Floral City.”

Naomi furrowed her brow. According to the company’s set of etiquette, they should always prioritize their clients’ needs.

The time taken to solve the problems in her job would also be taken into account for the evaluation of her performance. It would be vital in determining whether she was qualified for her job or not.

She had just made the bet with Cynthia. Thus, she really did not want to lose and disgrace her parents.

Finally, Naomi decided to go to Floral City.

“Mr. Luther, could you please send me your location? I will go to Floral City and meet with you face-to-face.”

The corners of Nelson’s lips curled up as he said anxiously.

He said anxiously, “It’s not too convenient, is it? It’s too troublesome for you! Why don’t you wait for me to go back in three days?”

“That’s alright! I can head over there today!”

After a while, the location was sent over. Naomi packed up her belongings and headed straight to Floral City without even going home.

It was not until she got on a bus that she remembered to make a phone call to Eudora, saying that she was on a business trip.

Eudora held the phone and said to Amos dejectedly, “It’s all your fault. Naomi is still so young, yet you asked her to go to the company for an internship. Now, she’s as busy as a supervisor! She’s even busier than I had been at that time!”

Amos burst out laughing and said, “She’s not as smart as you. That’s why she’s busier than you!”

Eudora rolled her eyes at him and said, “What a sweet talker!”

Amos reached out and took her into his arms as he asked, “You like it, don’t you?”

“Have you investigated her love life?” Eudora asked again.

Amos frowned and said, “It’s in progress!”

Speaking of which, he seemed to think of something. He looked at Eudora and said, “This client…”

…

Four hours later, Naomi arrived at Floral City. After getting out of the car, she went straight to Sunny Island.

As soon as she got onto the ship, she received a phone call from Eudora.

“Naomi, where are you now?”

Naomi briefly described her surroundings. On the other end of the call, Eudora was winking at Amos, telling him to hurry up.

Amos nodded while his fingers typed on the keyboard at lightning speed.

Eudora and Naomi chatted about some trivial matters for a while. Just as Naomi was growing annoyed, Amos finally made an ‘OK’ gesture to her. Only then did Eudora find an excuse to hang up on the call.

She ran over and looked at Amos. She asked, “Where is she?”

“Sunny Island!” Amos answered.

“Then, let’s head over there too!”

…

When Naomi reached the island, she went to book a hotel room before making an appointment with Nelson.

“It’s about that project…”

Nelson shook his head and said, “Let’s put the project aside first. They said that there’ll be an event on the island this afternoon. Should I take you there to have a look?”

Naomi hesitated and said, “Our project…”

“I already know what you’re trying to say! I’ve also checked your proposal, but I couldn’t find a good answer either. Instead of remaining clueless here, I think it’s better for us to relax. There are actually many similar buildings on this island. Aren’t you looking for some inspiration for your designers?”

Naomi was finally convinced. So, she nodded and followed him out.

The event that Nelson talked about was right next to a small hill not far from the hotel that they lived in. When they reached the destination, they realized that there were a lot of people there.

As soon as the people saw them coming, someone immediately urged them to join the event.

“You two should participate! The winner of this event will be granted access to the mysterious yard on the island, which has never been opened to the public. I heard that the buildings in the yard were all built in ancient times. Unfortunately, they’ve never opened this place up to us. The only way to see them is to become the winner of this event!”NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Naomi and Nelson exchanged a look. He asked softly, “Are you interested in it?”

Naomi nodded. There was nothing she couldn’t do in order to complete her task in hand.

Nelson instantly expressed their willingness to participate, and then their names were written on the list. The two of them changed their clothes hurriedly and joined the event.

However, it was not until the event began that Naomi found out it was actually a competition for couples.

The first round of competition was a shooting game and the couples would be competing against each other. They had to complete three missions in the game in order to succeed.

The first two rounds weren’t too difficult so Naomi and Nelson did quite well.

Unexpectedly, the last round was a kissing game.

Each couple was required to stand on one leg and kiss each other. The couple who maintained that position for the longest time would become the winner!

Naomi quirked her eyebrow and said, “We’d better…” Nelson had already held her hand and reminded her before she could finish say the words “give up”.

However, before she could even say ‘give up’, Nelson had already held her hand and reminded her, “It’s about to start!”
