“Miss Silverstein, you have our full support.” “Of course! Miss Silverstein, we trust that you will succeed.”
Queenie pursed her lips and smiled. We can certainly get this project. I have such a strong connection, so why not use it?
At that point, she was thinking like a businesswoman, and helping her dad get more business was something a daughter should do.
Meanwhile, Brandon admired his daughter’s courage for being willing to disregard her personal relationship for the betterment of the company. He patted her shoulder and encouraged her, “Queenie, just do your best. It’d be great if you succeed, but it wouldn’t matter even if you didn’t.”
She nodded and answered, “Don’t worry, Dad. I will get this project for you no matter what it takes.”
At that, the higher-ups under the stage could not help but praise Queenie for that. Bold! Miss Silverstein’s work ethic is similar to that of a warrior.
Ring! Ring! Her phone suddenly rang, and she took a look at it before picking it up. “Hey, what’s the matter?”
“It’s too boring at the cafe, so I thought I should just head up to your office! I’m at the reception counter. Where’s your office?” Nigel’s voice sounded from the receiver.
Surprised, Queenie instructed him, “Have the receptionist bring you to the third-floor meeting room.”
“You want me to rest inside the meeting room? That sounds good as well. I’ll be there in a minute,” he answered happily.
After hanging up, she notified Brandon, “Dad, I just invited Nigel here. We can talk to him in person later!”
A shocked Brandon was taken aback by her words. “What? Did you invite Young Master Nigel here? Now?”
“Yes. He’ll be here in a minute.” Once she finished, she turned to Joseph Hummer, who was in charge of landscape construction. “Mr. Hummer, the president of Manson Group is almost here. You can tell him all about our company’s strengths later.”
At that point, Joseph was left speechless, and so were all of the higher-ups in the meeting room. The president of the Manson Group is personally coming to our meeting room to discuss the project?
While looking at the room of stunned higher-ups, Queenie could not hold back her smile. “Don’t be nervous. He’s my boyfriend and is fairly easy to talk to.”
That explanation shocked the crowd once again. No wonder Miss Silverstein is so confident! It turns out the project belongs to her boyfriend. Who would be able to get the project if not her?
It was then someone knocked on the meeting room door, followed by the voice of the receptionist. “Sir, please head inside.”
Nigel originally thought he was coming to the meeting room to see Queenie and take a short rest. Clearly, he was not expecting to receive such a shock right after stepping inside. Do I have the wrong room? Why is there a meeting here?
“Nigel, come in!” Queenie rose to her feet and beckoned him over.
Seeing her there, Nigel immediately relaxed and entered the room. Then, he pulled out the chair beside her and sat down. Just as he took a seat, he noticed Brandon sitting beside her and quickly got up to greet him politely, “Mr. Silverstein.”
Brandon chuckled and reciprocated passionately, “Nigel, have a seat and make yourself at home.”
After Nigel sat down, he felt everyone’s eyes on him. In actuality, the crowd did not expect the president of the Manson Group to be so young! He looks to be about twenty-five to twenty-six years old at most. So, he’s young and remarkably handsome. Miss Silverstein has good taste in men!
“Mr. Manson, the matter goes like this—I heard your company has a landscape outsourcing project that is looking for investors, and our company is very interested in it,” Queenie explained the situation to Nigel before turning to Joseph. “Mr. Hummer, please elaborate on our company’s strength in that area.”
Albeit nervous, Joseph maintained his composure and began introducing the company’s strength after organizing his thoughts.
Meanwhile, Nigel blinked his eyes, obviously having no idea what was happening. After all, Silverstein Enterprise only needed to obtain his consent to become the investor in that project. However, he still listened to Joseph’s introduction attentively.
“Mr. Manson, what do you think of our company’s credentials? Are we up to your standards?” Queenie asked him deliberately.
While applauding, Nigel nodded without hesitation. “I have no problem with your introduction, which perfectly fits our requirements. As such, I’ll appoint your company as the contractor for that project.”
The meeting room instantly descended into an uproar. They never expected that they could take down a project worth many billions so easily! It was beyond their imaginations!
“Nigel, you don’t have to agree so quickly. You can take a good look at our capabilities before making that decision,” Brandon said out of guilt since he thought it was Queenie who had been pressuring him.
Smiling, Nigel looked at the highly capable woman beside him and assured him, “Mr. Silverstein, I highly approve of your company and believe that you do have the capability to rise to the occasion.”
It won’t matter if you don’t because we’re all family.
“Dad, I’ll leave the rest of the meeting to you and bring Nigel to my office.”
“Sure, go ahead!” Brandon nodded, not expecting them to reconcile just after one night.
Once Nigel and Queenie left, cheers filled the entire meeting room. The higher-ups were elated and more certain about Silverstein Enterprise’s future development. With such a huge backer, Silverstein Enterprise would definitely have an optimistic destiny!
On the other side, there were still traces of a young woman’s aura inside Queenie’s office. Seeing the blue couch, Nigel comfortably sat down while she poured him a cup of water before joining him.
“How about I treat you to lunch? To thank you for giving my dad such a huge project.” She offered.
With narrowed eyes, Nigel reasoned, “He’s your dad now and he will be my father-in-law soon. We’re going to be family, so why the formalities?”
A blushing Queenie had no choice but to accept his justification. Indeed, there’s no need to be so formal with him.
“Miss Silverstein, are you feeling better now that you’ve taken down a huge project? Are you still mad?” he asked with a smile.
Meanwhile, she was secretly rejoicing. Thank goodness, we reconciled so quickly.
“Don’t lie to me again. If you dare to do it, I won’t ever forgive you,” she warned.
Having discovered her character, Nigel promised sincerely, “I won’t.”
With a light snort, Queenie riposted, “Who knows? After all, I’m not that important to you, and even without me, there’d still be many women eager to run into your arms.”
He embraced her with a stretch of his long arm and retaliated nervously, “Who said that? Besides you, I won’t be interested in anyone else.”
Obediently leaning against his chest, she discovered that his heart was beating quicker than earlier; it was obvious that her words had frustrated him.
“Alright, then. This matter is now over, so let’s not mention it again.” As Queenie snuggled in his embrace, she realized that she was overly enraged last night, which led her to overthink the situation.
“Would you like to come to my house for dinner tonight? I’ll introduce my parents to you.” Nigel decided to speed things up since he had not thoroughly considered it previously. He merely wanted to hide his relationship so that they could date in peace, but now, it seemed that he was wrong about that.
“Tonight? I’m nervous.” Queenie immediately sat up. “Are your parents nice to talk to?”
“Of course! I’m sure they’ll want me to marry you immediately after they meet you,” he assured her with a smile.
Hearing that, she blushed as she shrank her neck. “What? No way!”
