Selena frowned when she saw Timothy entering her office without prior announcement. Her guard was up when she realized he reeked of alcohol and even locked the door. She immediately stood up and walked out from behind her desk.
“Haha! Don’t be nervous!” Timothy laughed and sized up Selena under the influence of alcohol.
He always thought that Selena was utterly beautiful, but he was not interested as she was married and older than him.
In his drunken state, however, he felt giddy as he eyed how the formal dress on this woman accentuated her beautiful figure.
He took just a few steps toward Selena and said, “I just so happened to pass this place on my way home, so I’m here to take a look. I’d like to know what’s the development of South Hill Real Estate’s project. By the way, I heard that you’ve appointed the Taylor family to supply eighty percent of the project material?”
The corners of Selena’s mouth twitched when she heard this. She had been worried about how people would gossip about this behind her back.
Still, many days had passed without anybody saying anything. After all, the general manager had agreed to this and signed the agreement. Even he felt that the materials from the Taylor family were rather good.
Selena eventually relaxed. Regardless, the general manager had already mentioned this to James Drake and Miss Tanya; Timothy should have known about this much earlier.
She did not know why Timothy brought up this matter.
Selena smiled embarrassingly. “Yes. Young Master Drake should’ve known about this since long ago, right? The general manager already approved it. Your father and Miss Tanya also knew about it. They had visited the site and were satisfied with the materials as the quality was good!”
Timothy smiled and walked closer to Selena. “We’re definitely satisfied. I didn’t say that we’re not. This isn’t about the materials!”
“If there’s nothing wrong with the material, what is it?” Selena turned around with a frown and reached for a paper cup. “Young Master Drake, you must’ve drunk lots of wine. Let me pour you a cup of warm water.”
Did the Drakes want to go back on their word?
This was the assumption and worry that plagued Selena.
After all, this project could help the Taylor family earn quite a revenue. It could guarantee their profit and healthy business development for the next two years.
The project had just started not long ago. It would be troublesome for the Taylor family if the Drakes changed their minds.
“Young Master Drake, are you saying there are several companies better than the Taylor family? I’m not very clear about this as Supervisor Neal is the one who did the research. In the end, she’s the one who compiled all pieces of information and handed them to me. Regardless, I felt that only the Taylor family is the most suitable one among all the companies she handed to me!”
With a smile on her face, Selena passed the cup of water to Timothy and added, “The agreement was signed and approved by the general manager. This proves that the Taylor family is entirely capable of such an important role.”
