Chapter 33
By the time Catelyn arrived at the mansion located south of the city, it was a little over two in the
afternoon. The last time she was here, there was only a general outline of the mansion, but at this
moment, there had been a temporary lounge where the porch was. It looked slightly like a tin house with
the roof in blue and the walls in white.
Eason noticed that she was sweating from rushing over and handed her a piece of wet tissue before
pointing at the lounge. “Master Cedrick is waiting for you inside.”
Catelyn took a few deep breaths to adjust herself before she headed in.
The temperature of the lounge was much lower in comparison to the outside as though it was a
completely separate world.
Cedrick sat lazily on a simplistic chair, his tailor-made suit wrapped around his athletic body. His
handsome features were as perfect as that of a statue, and with his lips pursed, he oozed an intimidating
aura that repelled anyone who tried to get closer to him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCatelyn knocked on the door and bowed at him politely. “I’m here, Master Cedrick.”
Cedrick lifted his gaze from the pile of design drafts on his desk. He then saw Catelyn, dressed in a
simple white shirt and black skirt that emphasized the curves on her body; the color contrast was so
distinct that it was eye-catching.
He had to admit that Catelyn was a beauty, but was that the reason why his son had chosen her?
“Come in.” Cedrick closed the file gently with his dark, brooding eyes fixated on her.
Catelyn felt chills down her spine from the way Cedrick was staring at her, yet she handed over the
documents she had prepared to him regardless.
“These are some of the information I’ve gathered so far, along with the future planning for the area
surrounding this mansion. May I know if you have any specific requirements, Master Cedrick?”
Cedrick opened the file and glanced at it casually before lifting an eyebrow in shock. He had not
expected her to consider the planning of the area nearby as well.
“As you can see, the mansion has only completed its basic structure at the moment. With a total area of
roughly a hundred and sixty-eight square meters, it doesn’t matter if you go with horizontal division or the
vertical method. The design will need to include the kitchen, dining room, bedrooms, living room,
playroom, entertainment room, theater room, as well as the pool and basketball court outside…” Cedrick
listed his requirement as he bent his long fingers to knock on the table gently in a rhythmic fashion as he
spoke.
“It’s not a small home, and it requires precision and techniques when it comes to reinforcement and
division of space. Can you do this?”
Catelyn cast him a formal smile with confidence. “I might not have the graduation certification from the
architectural program at Sapphire University, but I am confident that I can fulfill your request.”
Cedrick pulled out a document from the drawer to sign his name on a blank at the bottom of the page;
his signature was both majestic and powerful on the paper.
The document was then tossed over to Catelyn.
“Sign,” he said.
Catelyn stared at him in shock. Ever since she entered, Cedrick had been oozing an intimidating aura
and had been staring at her oddly. According to how much he seemed to enjoy finding fault in others,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmshe had thought that he would make it difficult for her; she was even prepared to remain here for as long
as it took.
To her surprise, he simply handed her the contract without trouble.
“What, do you have any other problems?” Cedrick pursed his lips in displeasure.
“No,” Catelyn accepted the contract hastily and signed her name at the bottom of the page under the
column for the second party.
Different from Cedrick’s handwriting, her writing was more elegant, but prideful still. Eason glanced at it
from behind and thought, ‘Hmm, what beautiful handwriting!
Once she had signed, Catelyn extended her hand toward Cedrick by habit and said, “. look forward to
working with you, Master Cedrick!”
Cedrick stared at the fair-skinned palm before him. The cold expression faded slightly from his enticing
features and just as he was about to shake her hand, Catelyn withdrew her hand abruptly as though she
had just remembered something.
She scratched her head and smiled awkwardly. “I’ll have the draft really as soon as possible. Please let
me know if you have any questions.”
