Chapter 980
Nelson could not sleep since leaving Monique's place a night ago.
He had no idea that Monique harbored those kinds of feelings towards him before. Now that he knew,
he felt quite awkward.
What was even stranger was that he actually felt sorry towards Naomi.
He rubbed his forehead, and stared at the sky outside that was gradually clearing up more and more. It
was only then that he got up to wash up and drove out.
When he came back to his senses, he realized that he had driven towards a place near Valiant East!
Naomi would get out of the car there every day when she arrived at work.
As soon as Nelson stopped the car, he saw Naomi coming out from a car in front of him.
Almost without any hesitation, Nelson ran forward Naomi and stopped her.
"Naomi..."
As Naomi turned around, she crashed into his warm embrace.
When she confirmed that the person she crashed into was Nelson, the corners of her lips curled up.
"Why are you here so early? Is there anything you want to talk to me about?"
Nelson shook his head and said, "It's nothing. I just missed you!"
Intimate words shared between couples were always touching. Naomi also pursed her lips and said, "I
missed you too! Did you take good care of yourself?"
Nelson nodded and said, "Of course! What about you?"
"I've also taken good care of myself!"
As soon as they finished speaking, their stomachs growled at the same time.
Both of them were stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter together.
"You didn't have breakfast?" Nelson asked.
Naomi nodded and said, "I left home a little early this morning. Auntie Cindy prepared breakfast for me,
but I didn't have much of an appetite, so I didn't eat! What about you?"
Nelson raised his lips and replied, "Same reason as yours. I didn't want to eat either. I feel like eating
now though! Shall we go over there for breakfast?" "Okay!" Naomi said with a smile.
It just so happened that near the company was a busy commercial place. The two of them found a
random shop and bought breakfast, just like an ordinary couple. Then, they sat on a bench outside and
ate facing each other.
There were two young couples opposite them. The girl was eating a dish that was different from the
boy's. Then, she took a bite of the boy's food.
When Naomi saw this, she thought of her parents who were always happy with the small things in life.
Nelson followed her gaze, and in the next second, he picked up his sandwich and gave it to Naomi.
"Would you like to try mine?"
Naomi froze for a second, then immediately laughed.
"Isn't yours the same as mine?"
"It's not the same. Yours is a vegetarian sandwich, while mine is a pepperoni one!"
"Really?" Naomi did not doubt him and leaned forwards to taste it.
"Isn't it the same?"
When she saw Nelson's smiling eyes, she realized that she had been tricked!
"You lied to me..."
Nelson shook his head in denial and said, "Does it feel like we're a couple?"
Naomi came to a sudden realization and immediately nodded while saying, "A little bit! You should This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
taste mine too!"
The two of them fed each other for a while until Naomi was almost late for work. She hurriedly got up
and went to the company.
It was only when Naomi entered the company that she recalled that she had forgotten to talk to Nelson
about what happened that night!
It seemed that Eudora could not accept them for the time being, and she might need some time!
However, Nelson's car was already far away. She thought about it for a while and decided not to tell
Nelson about it for the time being!
As for Nelson who had originally been in a gloomy mood, he felt a lot better after having breakfast with
Naomi.
After he returned to the company, his mood had completely brightened up. The rest of the day was
going to be wonderful.
In the end, as soon as he entered his office, he saw Richard entering with an anxious face.
"Mr. Luther, I have bad news!" "What is it?" Nelson turned around.
"Valiant East had also participated in the landscape project bidding that we were determined to win!"
"Valiant East?" Nelson frowned.
"Don't they have a lot of big projects every year? They've never cared about such small projects like
this!"
"That's the problem. If they had participated since the beginning, it wouldn't be a big deal. However,
now that our company is so close to winning the bid yet they're suddenly participating halfway, I
suspect that Mr. Granger is purposefully targeting you!"
Nelson, of course, had also thought of the possibility that Richard had suggested.
Since he had already gone this far, he had long guessed that something might go wrong!
As expected, Amos was still the same, full of vigilance as ever.
"It doesn't matter. Let's bid as usual! Tell them that I will head over in the afternoon."
"But..." Richard replied anxiously, "...we've invested a lot, and a lot of preparation work has been done!
If we lose the bid, Miss Monique will..."
"I'll find a way to explain it to her! Just tell them to take it easy."
Richard had no idea what Nelson was up to, but he could only oblige!
In the afternoon on that day, after Nelson had gotten ready, he went to the bidding site with his
company's staff.
As expected, Amos was there as well.
Valiant East indeed lived up to its name. In only half a day's time, they had reached the final stage of
the bidding process. They really were powerful!
Of course, there was also another aspect, and that was that the organizer wanted to increase the
popularity of the event. If a big company like Valiant East suddenly wanted to bid, it was impossible for
them not to agree to their request!
Due to this matter, an originally small unknown project suddenly became a trending topic.
There were countless reporters on the scene, and they were all reflecting if they had made the wrong
judgment before all this.
Perhaps this was not a project as small as they had predicted, because Valiant East had always been
the forefront at the market each time!
The projects that Valiant East took part in were bound to have promising prospects.
This matter not only attracted the media, but also the public's attention. The bidding site suddenly
became very lively.
Although the surroundings were extremely chaotic, two people remained relatively calm.
It could be said that from the moment they arrived, they had not been affected by anything.
Of course, one of the two people was Amos.
The other one was Nelson.
The two of them looked at each other for a long time through the crowd. In the end, Nelson was the first
to stand up and walk over to Amos.
As the younger one, he stretched his hand out and took the initiative to shake hands with Amos.
"Mr. Granger, I did not expect to meet you here. I'm honored to be able to bid with Valiant East."
As the president of the Valiant East, Amos was reluctant to shake hands with him at all, yet he still
reached his hand out in a perfunctory way.
"You don't have to feel honored. I came here with the purpose to compete with you!"
He did not hide his intentions at all, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.
Nelson was still calm. After hesitating for a moment, he smiled again and said, "Mr. Granger, thank you
for your kindness." "You're welcome!" The whole process was full of smiles, as if two friends were
talking. Who knew that the whole thing was a competition between a father and his daughter's
unwelcome boyfriend?
Following the organizer's orders, the bidding began!
Amos spoke again, "Don't even think about giving in to me, and don't think about competing with me
either. I will have no mercy. No matter what you do, I will not let you and Naomi be together!"
