Ex-Husband’s Love Dilemma

Chapter 58 In the conference room, Cassandra turned on her computer and projected the designs on the big screen.

Then, Cassandra said to Zachary, "The whole design drawing includes exterior and interior designs, afforestation, and others. Do you see any changes that need to be made?" Cassandra's design was mature. Not only was it , but it also had a certain classical style to it. However, the two styles did not conflict with each other but rather brought the whole thing together harmoniously.

Zachary had been in this industry for many years, having a sharp eye and keen sense when it cto designing, but he couldn't find anything wrong with Cassandra's design drawing.

Zachary asked squestions, and Cassandra could answer them fluently. Evidently, she cprepared.

Zachary nodded. "Good. I'm very satisfied, but I still have to submit it to the higher-ups before I can give you a reply. Is that okay? After all, there is a lot of attention on this project and it can also be regarded as the most anticipated construction in Broburgh this year. You won't mind, right?" "Of course not. These are all run-of-the-mill procedures," Cassandra said lightly.

Kendall didn't say anything throughout the whole process as the exchanges between the two were professional. Even though Hawley Real Estate was in charge of designing, they were not privy to most details.

After looking through the design drawings, Cassandra also expressed sof her opinions. While they were chatting, the door of the conference room was pushed open.

Everyone looked over at the stime.

Orlando, in the lead, stood tall and upright, his handsface wearing a solemn look.

Zachary immediately stood up. “Mr. Quinn, you're just in time. We're discussing the project design drawings.” Kendall hurriedly introduced himself politely, "Hello, Mr. Quinn. I'm the representative of Hawley Real Estate.” Orlando nodded slightly in greeting before looking toward the woman who sat there quietly.

Zachary hastily introduced, "Mr. Quinn, this is Ms. Jackson, the architect." 1/5 Chapter 58 "Nice to meet you, Ms. Jackson," said Orlando.

Orlando wore a gentle look, and his voice was gruff.

Only then did Cassandra stand up. Staring straight at Orlando's complicated gaze, she said quietly, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Quinn." This was the first tthey formally met outside.

With Orlando's arrival, the atmosphere grew tense.

Zachary asked Cassandra to present the design drawings again. "Mr. Quinn, would you like to see if there is anything that needs to be modified?" Cassandra did as she was told.

However, her gaze remained trained on Orlando, who furrowed his brows slightly. He seemed upset, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction. That look on his face made her panic.

The next second, he looked up at her and asked indifferently, "Ms. Jackson, what do you think of the design drawing?" His tone was emotionless; there was no telling whether he was satisfied or not.

It was even more difficult not to overthink when his expression seemed serious.

Cassandra looked at him without a word and fearlessly answered, "Mr. Quinn, I don't think there is any problem with the overall outline of this design drawing. Any flaws that exist can only be of sminor architectural and appearance designs. Apart from those, I am personally very satisfied." She spoke directly and honestly, without beating around the bush.

Kendall grew anxious and hurriedly explained, “Mr. Quinn, Ms. Jackson didn't mean that. If you have any requirements, we can modify the design accordingly." "Ms. Jackson, Mr. Quinn is our investor. His request is our request," whispered Kendall, leaning toward Cassandra. He was indirectly warning her to not refute any of Orlando's requests.

Cassandra frowned and said nothing, but Kendall's words made her feel uncomfortable.

2/5 One's professional ethics should not be swayed by money.

Sthings may lose their charm once they are modified.

Orlando noticed Cassandra's expression. He leaned back in his chair and looked impassively at Cassandra while also sparing a glance at Kendall.

Then, he asked faintly, "Mr. Wright, do you think Ms. Jackson's right?" Zachary was a senior staff of Quinn Group. He believed that Orlando wouldn't blindly use his wealth to change the right thing.

Hence, he confessed, "I think she's right." Kendall was taken aback and confused.

Orlando smiled lightly. "Yeah, it's not bad." His words were clearly hinting at something. It was hard to tell whether he was talking about Cassandra or her design drawings.

However, that was just a minor episode, and everything went smoo. "'y afterward.

The design drawing's revision was resolved, and they discussed it until it was tfor dinner.

Taylor immediately grasped Orlando's hint when the latter glanced at the time.

"Thank you all for your hard work. Mr. Quinn will treat you all to dinner. The restaurant has been booked. Let's head out now," said Taylor.

Kendall was surprised and excited while Cassandra had no objection to it.

However, Zachary could sense that this meal was not for Hawley Real Estate, let alone for the collaboration. Instead, it was probably for a certain someone.

Either way, it was still an honor to have a meal with Orlando. Everyone quickly packed up and took the elevator downstairs.

They stood in Quinn Group's building and waited for the driver to pick them up.

3/5 Chapter 58 Orlando suddenly said, "Ms. Jackson, ride with me. I happen to have squestions about the design that I would like to consult you with." Cassandra smiled and agreed, "Sure." Everyone sensed the ambiguous atmosphere. After all, the chemistry between men and women tends to cause misunderstandings, but the two parties involved showed no unusual behavior, which only made people more curious.

Cassandra's phone suddenly buzzed with a message notification.

It was from Michael, asking: [Is the meeting over?] She replied: [Yeah, it just ended. I'm having a meal with them and might return to the company late.] He responded: [Okay, go ahead. Callif you need anything.] Cassandra replied "Okay" before putting her phone away.

She noticed Orlando staring at her, his expression inscrutable.

Instead of avoiding him, she met his gaze. The two looked into each her's eyes.

They continued doing so for a minute or two until the driver drove up. Only then did they look away.

Everyone waited for Orlando and Cassandra to get in the car firstm However a woman's voice rang out when they just took a step forward. "Landy, are you getting off work?" Rebecca approached slowly.

Rebecca was wearing a light green dress with her hair draped over her shoulders, wearing exquiṣite makeup. ve Her beautiful face revealed a smile, her voice tender. The endearing way she addressed him piqued everyone's interest. Orlando looked over, his face devoid of expression as he asked, "Why are you here?"

"I'm here to have dinner with you." She glanced at Cassandra, then at the others beside her, and whispered, En.

"Do you already have plans?" 4/5 Chapter 58 "Yes," Orlando said indifferently.

Rebecca looked forlorn. "Looks like I cat a bad time." She then greeted the others, her sweet and gentle smile irresistible.

Zachary said, "You're Ms. Rebecca Spencer, right? It's a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Spencer." Kendall chimed in, "Yes, you're as beautiful as you are on television." Rebecca responded to their comments and was very friendly. Although she wasn't breathtakingly beautiful, she had a pleasant voice that made people's hearts flutter.

Someone asked, "Are you here looking for Mr. Quinn?"
