Our Billion-Worth Twins

Chapter 32

Chapter 32 “I changed my mind. Is there a problem with that?” Catelyn felt incredibly frustrated by the situation. Cedrick himself said she did not qualify, and it was also he who asked her to take over the project in a tone like he was granting her a gift. ‘Why should I say yes to him?’ Catelyn thus responded, “I think I might not be good enough for this project. Our manager, Hills, is very experienced and would be a perfect candidate. Why don’t | pass the phone to her instead?” “…” Following a moment of silence, Cedrick’s expression darkened. “So, you’re rejecting me?” “No, no, no!” Catelyn said sincerely, “I’m just worried that I might not be experienced or knowledgeable enough to handle a mansion that costs over a billion.” Thinking that she was simply playing hard-to-get, Cedrick’s gaze sharpened as he would when he was negotiating with business partners. “The design rate out in the market for this mansion is roughly two hundred per square meter. If you agree to take the project, I’ll raise the rate to roughly three hundred.”

A span of roughly 300 per square meter meant that the designing fee for the mansion would go up to over three million! “Contact me to confirm the contract by three in the evening today, and I’ll offer you an extra ten-percent bonus.” Cedrick was certain that a woman like Catelyn would not budge. Indeed, she felt tempted. Miles had started kindergarten, and their expenses would only increase from then on. “Deal!” Catelyn finally agreed. Cedrick simply sneered at how pretentious she was. Cedrick looked at Ollie, who was lying on the bed, and lifted an eyebrow. “Satisfied, now?” Ollie’s pink lips curled into a shy smile as he nodded. His tantrum started fast and ended even faster. He took the pills between his fingers and swallowed them with the warm water. “I’m sorry for making you worry, Father,” he apologized. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Cedrick put his hand into his pocket with a cold, stern expression. This was the first time Ollie had argued with him so stubbornly over a woman. “This is the first and the last time I’m going to put up with your wilfulness. As the son of Cedrick Mason, you’re born into wealth, and so you’re expected to bear the responsibility that comes with it. I don’t ever want to hear from Albert that you’ve disappeared again, do you understand?” Ollie’s mind was occupied solely with the thought that he could finally give out the paper heart he made since Catelyn was designing his mansion. He simply nodded with no regard for what his father was saying. “I understand.” Edwin heard the conversation between the two and simply exclaimed, “How sad that Ollie is getting his childhood taken away, not to mention having to put up with you! “If only I had a son this cute-hey, hey, don’t drag me out! I’m not done yet!” Cedrick straight away dragged him away and ordered Albert to take good care of Ollie. When Catelyn heard the beeping sound of the line being cut off, she went and saved Cedrick’s contact. That afternoon, she completed all her tasks for the day and placed all documents on her desk into the drawer before locking it by habit. As a designer, her drafts had to remain confidential. Once she was done, she took a taxi and headed to Ollie’s mansion. She had already taken a tour there before and had a general idea of how the overall design would be; all that was left was to take note of Cedrick’s requests and advice.
