Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 1732

Chapter 1732

When they arrived, only Chad and his assistant were in the conference room. Chad stood up to greet Cedric, and his eyes fleetingly sweeping over Emily with a hint of apprehension.

As soon as Emily sat down, the conference room's door opened and Ron respectfully stood to the side, saying, "Mr. James, please come in!"

All the people in the room stood up. Chad wore a polite smile, "Mr. James, Mr. Gavin, good afternoon!"

Charlie, composed and unassuming, took the central seat and didn't show any signs of surprise, not even glancing in Emily's direction.

Gavin casually greeted Emily, “Emily, nice to see you again!"

Emily responded with a light smile, “Good afternoon, Mr. Gavin!"

Chad's gaze flickered as he settled into his chair.

Sitting next to Charlie, Ron cheerfully said, "Designer Chad and Ms. Emily have put aside all their work to focus on creating the design draft for the building. We initially planned to have Mr. Gavin review it first, but we didn't expect Mr. James to also join us. We are truly honored by your attention and we won't disappoint your expectations!"

Charlie nodded indifferently, “Let's take a look at the design draft first."

“Of course,!" Ron eagerly agreed, turning to Chad and Emily, "Which one of you would like to present your design first?"

Chad immediately volunteered, "I'll go first!"

He stood up and projected his initial design draft on the screen, giving everyone an explanation.

As a senior designer, Chad had plenty of design experience. His design might not be dazzlingly innovative, but it was difficult to find any obvious flaws.

He eloquently explained his design concept.

Charlie only glanced at it a couple of times before lowering his gaze to study the detailed plans in his hands.

It seemed as if she only reserved her brilliance when she was in his presence, deliberately minimizing her own presence when she looked up to him.

Or perhaps, he had realized this about her and chose to let her go, allowing her to shine in her own way without his influence.

When Emily finished, Gavin was the first to applaud, “Brilliant!"

Following Gavin, Ron and Cedric also applauded Emily's presentation. Chad, with a complex expression, reluctantly clapped a couple of times.

As Emily turned to face the room, she caught sight of Charlie standing at the door. She turned to look at him subconsciously, her expression freezing slightly with a hint of nervousness.

Charlie furrowed his eyebrows slightly, wondering if he was that intimidating, to the point of making her change her expression in an instant.

Gavin stood up and complimented her, "Emily, well done. At the very least, your design caught my attention!"

Emily nodded modestly, "This is just an initial idea and it may still need refinement. I hope to receive feedback from everyone!"
