Chapter 483 Overstimulated I'turned around. As the doors opened, a tall figure emerged. He was holding an enormous bouquet of vibrant red flowers.
His face was handsome, with well- defined features. It was perfect. While he used to wear a cold and proud expression, today, he was all smiles.
A group of attendants trailed behind him, creating a commanding presence as they approached me.
This sudden turn of events dumbfounded me. It all felt surreal.

Construction and Development! Congratulations, Ms. Chloe! Let's embark on this brand new journey!” — His eyes were deep and filled with tender affection. I was sure there was something more to this.
I took the bouquet. He stood beside me and announced to the media, “I declare that as of today, ATL Empire will cooperate with Tanum Construction and Development. They will handle all development projects, including properties, of ATL Empire.
“The design institute of ATL Empire will provide auxiliary support for all projects of Tanum Construction and Development. We will sign the contract on an appointed day. All media are invited to attend!” |
His announcement was like a thunderclap, signaling the merger of Tanum and ATL Empire's construction projects. Tanum was elevated to a new level, especially since he offered his design institute to assist Tanum's projects for free. It was astounding news.
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire office erupted in excitement. All Tanum employees knew what this meant.
Ilooked at Atlas, unsure of how to express my gratitude. All I could do was stand there and stare at him blankly. He had given me not only support but also a clear path.
I dared not think further.

After the initial excitement settled, I rushed into Ryan’s office to question him.
He looked at me innocently. “You’re asking me? How would I know? Look, you must give me two days off to recover. Last night, I was having a wonderful dream when I was rudely awoken. I haven’t had enough sleep, and it feels terrible.”
T'was filled with dread. “Atlas?” “Who else? I suspect this man has OCD.
Be careful!” Ryan complained.
“How does he know where you live?” My mind had stopped working at this point.
“Ha! Did you think Grayson was loyal to you? That man is a traitor!” Ryan complained. “That guy is not a gentleman at all. He brought two people into my house in the middle of the night like robbers." ~ Islapped my forehead. Right, how could I forget about Grayson? “Chloe, if I ever disappear, I’m sure it’ll be Atlas’s doing! What a guy!” Ryan continued to grumble. He was probably traumatized.
Ryan rolled his eyes and flashed a
smile. “But I have to admit, I admire his methods. Astonishing!” I shrugged and added, “Don’t take advantage. You're the biggest shareholder of Tanum, after all!” I left his office, only to turn around again. Ryan was beaming with sunshine. I said, “You’re not bad either. The two of you make quite the contrast!” Deep down, I knew Ryan’s true feelings. He couldn’t deny being impressed. To me, both men held great significance. This was their first collaboration, and I knew it wouldn’t be the last.
