Chapter 420 A Creeper
Bourdamun was a neighboring city to Muborough. However, the former’s economy
couldn’t match Muborough. Although close, Bourdamun lacked a coastline, which slowed
its development.
Matthew hadn’t taken projects in Bourdamun in recent years because of its sluggish
development. I hadn’t even considered anything in Bourdamun. A client from there visited
today, and I was curious to
Yearn about it.
Jeremiah smiled sincerely, but his words were doubtful. He said, “Yes, we’re in the
development business. I heard Tanum Corporation’s interior design and construction are
leading in Foswood. I’ve always wanted
to work with you, but the timing was never right.
I smiled calmly and responded, “That’s an overstatement, Mr. Jeremiah. Tanum
Corporation is just an ordinary company. It’s been a rough year, so I wouldn’t dare claim
it’s leading in anything.
“We do our best to uphold honesty and quality to satisfy our clients. Do you have any
ongoing
construction projects?” I didn’t want to stall. Instead, I cut to the chase.
“Oh, you’re being modest, Ms. Chloe,” Jeremiah never broke eye contact, making me

continued, “There’s a project we consider key in Bourdamun this year. However, the
authorities request
we build a benchmark for Bourdamun.
“Naturally, we must raise our standards with different plans, so we must be cautious.
That’s why I wanted
to meet you today.”
I was curious when he mentioned the key Bourdamun project. “Thank you, Mr. Jeremiah.”
Still, I couldn’t help but feel Jeremia was unfit to be associated with such a significant
project. It wasn’t
that I judged him by his appearance, but one’s appearance often reflected one’s inner
qualities.
I thought the slick middle–aged man before me didn’t possess the integrity he claimed.
How he looked at me made me doubt his intentions even more. Unless he referred to his
dad when he mentioned the ”
authorities.”
We continued discussing and exchanging empty promises for a while. Then, I asked
Jeremiah for relevant
materials. However, he mentioned the project documents were still undergoing process
and would send
them to me as soon as he returned.
felt annoyed because Jeremiah had come to discuss a project yet arrived unprepared. I

wasn’t a pleasant joke, It seemed he thought I had plenty of time to waste. Even if I did, I

Fortunately, Carol entered.
I took the chance and said, “Mr. Jeremiah, please bring the relevant documents for a more
detailed discussion. We haven’t worked on anything in Bourdamun, so I look forward to our
potential
collaboration.”
Carol understood my underlying tone and said, “Ms. Chloe, the meeting at 10 o’clock is all
set.”
Perfect.” I nodded and told Jeremiah, “I apologize, Mr. Jeremiah, but we’ll have to end our
discussion today. I have another meeting soon.”

“Uh, oh, of course!” He quickly stood up and extended his chubby hand toward me. “T–

next time.”
I felt slightly disgusted but couldn’t ignore him since he was a guest. I reluctantly shook
his hand, but he surprisingly held it firmly, saying, “I’m sorry for bothering you. We’ll meet
again soon. I’m confident we’ll work together successfully.
I raised an eyebrow and gazed at his hand coldly. Then, I withdrew my outstretched hand
and said, “Carol,
Please see Mr. Jeremiah out for me. Goodbye.”
Carol quickly stepped forward and gestured for him to leave. Once he left, I hurried to the
lounge
restroom to wash my hands. When I came out, Carol returned from sending Jeremiah off.
She looked at
me and asked, “What’s with that guy?”
“Ugh! He’s creepy, and his words were weirder!” I complained, tossing Jeremiah’s
business card to Carol. Tell Grayson to look into him. I feel something’s off about Jeremiah.

“Sure, I’ll get to it right away.” Carol turned and left.
I sat back in my chair, thinking about Bourdamun and its ‘key‘ project.
