Her Hidden Crowns (Suzanne and Austin) novel Chapter 222

Tanya and Suzanne arrived at their private room in Prestige Dining at noon. The room featured luxurious decorations. There was a crystal chandelier, a huge round dining table, expensive genuine leather dining chairs, and even a few exquisite paintings that hung on the walls and were of great value.

A slightly plump middle-aged man was seated in front of the round table. He was dressed in a vermilion suit with his hair slicked back and greased. The glasses on his nose couldn't conceal the shrewd glint in his eyes.

In an instant, the man's eyes fixed intently on Suzanne, and he almost sized her up from head to toe.

Tanya looked at Khalil and introduced her with a beaming smile, "Mr. Young, this is an excellent designer from our company, Suzanne. She's the one who created this design."

The smile on Khalil's lips became even more lecherous. This woman was gorgeous! Her figure and looks were both great. She was a real gem!

He nodded in satisfaction and said, "Hmm, not bad."

Suzanne paid no attention to the two of them and walked straight inside. She pulled out the chair closest to her and sat down slowly.

Khalil raised his eyebrows in surprise. This woman seemed quite haughty. The more defiant and resistant she was, the more he liked it.

Tanya frowned slightly. Was Suzanne being too arrogant? She really should have greeted Khalil.

But she didn't feel it was appropriate to say it directly, so she could only hand Suzanne's design draft to Khalil.

With an obsequious smile on her face, she said, "Mr. Young, this is our design draft. Please take a look at it."

The design draft was placed beside Khalil's hand. Khalil's eyes had been constantly lingering on Suzanne. But when he casually glanced at the design sketch, his eyes suddenly lit up. Khalil quickly picked up the design sketch and examined it carefully.

He didn't hold back his praise and said, "This design is really excellent."

Tanya was instantly excited. Normally, he wouldn't think much of the designs they presented. Did this mean they could close the deal? She immediately turned to look at Suzanne and signaled to her with her eyes.

She didn't seem to care at all. She picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of tea, and took a small sip. Khalil reached out his hand toward Suzanne's that was resting on the table.

He chuckled softly and said, "Ms. Yates, you have a real talent for jewelry design."

Just as he was about to touch her hand, Suzanne quickly dodged his lecherous hand. Khalil frowned.

Suzanne looked at Khalil and said in a soft voice, "Mr. Young, I heard that this set of jewelry is for your wife. You're a good man who loves his wife."

According to her old self, she would've already taken action against a man like Khalil. But for the sake of this design sketch, Suzanne endured it and continued to deal with Khalil.

The smile on Khalil's face didn't fade. He sat up straight and looked at Suzanne with a determined look in his eyes. "Ms. Yates, you're a smart woman. If you follow me, you'll definitely be better off than you are at Yates Corporation."

A stunner like her would be enough to give him a great time just once. Khalil placed the design sketch on the table in front of Suzanne and tapped his finger on it. "It's just a piece of cake for me to help you go international and win big awards."
