Chapter 487
The personnel in charge of the National Space Administration welcomed Neil and Taya’s arrival by
walking them through the hall to another building.
As Taya strolled, she scanned the environment of the National Space Administration. Models of
rockets, spacesuits, and space gave her a deeper understanding of spaceflight.
She had no concept of science in the past. After witnessing it with her own eyes, in addition to shock,
she, too, found some inspiration for designing the building.
She followed Neil with the drawings in her arms and heard the receptionist introduce as they walked,
“This is the aerospace headquarters. Our administrative office is in another building. Let’s meet the
project leader.” Raising a stiff smile, Neil
nodded towards the receptionist, who then led them into the
next building.
Griffon stood in the elevator. His beautiful and flawless face
seemed to be devoid of emotions, but his thick eyebrows were tightly furrowed with a faint look of
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtanxiety, even so in his cold eyes. Unblinkingly, he remained to stare at the numbers on the
elevator screen.
The floor was too high. With a large crowd bobbing in and out
from time to time, a lot of time was delayed. Quite some time
had passed when the elevator came to a stop on the ground
floor.
With his thick eyebrows twisted, his long legs brought him out of the elevator in big strides. His eyes full
of hope, he looked around but failed to see the familiar figure. His face sank as he sped up in walking
towards the exit.
He inquired with the security guard, but the security guard told him that everyone entered and exited
with their staff card, so he didn’t know which department the group who had just entered was from.
There were, too, too many people around, so he had no idea who Griffon was referring to.
Subconsciously, Griffon wanted to reach for his mobile phone to instruct the man to send him the
surveillance footage, but it was only then he remembered that he had left his mobile
phone in Washington’s villa before joining the NASA.
He could only turn around and rush to the monitoring room in
person.
In the administrative center, Ryder, the project leader
responsible for the expansion, was amazed at the sight of the talented designer who had never shown
her face. He got up and gave Taya a warm hug.
“Ms. Carmine, welcome…”
Ryder is a Frenchman in his forties, with cold fair skin, green eyes, and sharp features. He had a tall
build, was cleanly dressed, and gentlemanly handsome. When he hugged Taya, however, his hand
snaked around her waist. Facing Ryder’s ungentlemanly hug, Taya’s expression was a bit ugly, but she
forced herself to maintain a polite smile on
her face.
“Hello, Ryder.”
Ryder then let go of Taya, his green eyes sizing up and down her exquisite figure.
“It turns out that the most famous architect in the world is
gorgeous.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith that, Ryder leaned forward for a welcoming kiss.
Taya’s heart sank. She subconsciously tried to dodge, but Ryder grabbed her hand, trying to force her
to comply.
Neil, who stood aside and couldn’t choose to ignore, rolled his eyes and endured his nausea to move
his face closer.
After Ryder left a kiss on the cheek to see that it was a man’s
face, he disgustedly wiped the corner of his mouth. “You are?”
Neil raised a symmetrical curve and flashed an awkward smile at Ryder. “Mr. Ryder, I’m the chief
designer of Ms. Carmine’s company, a part-time bodyguard. I don’t have any talent, but I happen to be
a black-belt Taekwondo athlete. If you’re interested, Mr. Ryder, we can have a duel someday.”
With that, Neil clenched his fist and showed off his biceps.
Ryder dared not come up with more sly ideas, but his attitude was colder than before. “The building
that will be undergoing expansion isn’t here. This is just an office. If you want to go for an on-site
inspection, I’ll send someone to take you there…”
