Half an hour later, Odell left the sleeping girl on the couch and told Liam to watch over his sister before
he left the office.
Cliff had been waiting outside the office.
When his boss came out, he followed him to the well-lit meeting room downstairs.
There was a young woman in a tight-fit red dress and meticulous makeup sitting on one of the chairs.
She stood and smiled at Odell when he came in and extended her hand for a handshake. “Good
morning, Master Carter.”
“Good morning.”
Odell shook her hand and sat in the center seat. Lily sat down on his left.
Her assistant immediately provided Cliff with a document and Cliff opened it up for his boss.
Odell had a glance through the content and responded with a solemn look. There was no other
expression on his

Lily’s gaze shifted. He said, “Master Carter, my family has been working on this project before we
moved back to
Westchester City. The Carter Corporation is influential in this city, so we hereby sincerely invite you to
join us. Of course, if you have any other terms and conditions, please do voice them.”
Odell continued reading the document without giving her a reply.
Until he reached the last page and the last line, he looked at her and said, “This seems like an
innovative project.”
Lily smiled. “Thank you. I wonder if you’re interested to be part of it.” “Please provide me with the
project’s details and I’ll get back to you by next week.” “Sure thing.”
Odell got up and wanted to head out.
“Master Carter, please wait,” Lily called as she stood up. He turned around and asked, “Is there
anything else?” Lily curled her lips into a sweet smile and said, “I wonder if you’re free tonight? Maybe
we can talk more about the details and my opinion on this project over dinner.”
“I’m occupied tonight. Please send me your opinions together with the details of the project.”
He then stepped out of the meeting room.
The sweet smile on her face froze.
She dressed meticulously for this meeting, and yet the man did not even spare a glance at her and
even rejected her invitation for dinner.
“Ms. Springsteen, are we leaving now?” her assistant asked.
Lily’s face turned cold and glared at her.
Odell left without showing the slightest courtesy. Why would she want to stay?
She took a deep breath to adjust her mood and walked out. Her assistant carefully followed her.
She regained her composure and returned to her confident and elegant self as soon as she stepped

She was just starting her pursuit of him. When the project she proposed made progress, she would
have more chances to meet him.
She was confident that he would look at her differently in time and eventually fall in love with her.
That evening, when the sky was almost dark, Odell was still going through documents at his desk.
Suddenly, his stomach started growling.
He turned and saw Isabel sitting on the couch, awakened.
Her tiny hands were on her stomach as she looked at him with a yearning look.
She pouted when she met his gaze. “I’m hungry…”
Odell had a glance at the time. It was 6:00 p.m. already.
He put the documents down and went over to her.
He carried the girl into his arms and then shot a glance at the boy, reading at the side.
“Come here.”
Liam put the book down and walked to his father.
