Chapter 132 Chapter 132 "Alright." "See you at noon, Sarah smiled brightly, her eyes soft with satisfaction, She rarely made a request that Xavier didn't agree to, so he had to care about her.
She gazed at him, watching as he worked with his head down, her affection evident in the tenderness of her gaze. After a moment, she turned and left, heading straight for Timothy's office.
"Mr. Snyder," she greeted, explaining everything clearly before handing him Nadia's Whatcontact. "This is my friend's contact information." Timothy took a photo of the note. "Uhuderstood, Ms. Lynde." "Is Xavier planning to expand into the design sector?" Sarah asked, casually probing for more information. Lily had just beca designer, and Xavier had already invested in the design competition. She couldn't help but wonder if this was part of a bigger plan. "I'm not sure what Mr. Fulton's intentions are," Timothy replied, a note of frustration in his voice. "Lately, it's been hard to figure out his thinking." Sarah smiled faintly, reminding him not to forget to make, the connection before turning to leave.

"Please check if there's a participant named Lily. I need her information sent to me," she requested.
Nova Group had sponsored a third of the competition fees, and without asking why, the coordinator agreed immediately.
About ten minutes later, two sets of participant information for Lily were sent to Sarah's email.
The online registration only included the ID numbers, which revealed the gender and age, but no photos. One was 35 years old, and the other 25 Sarah was almost completely sure that the 25-year-old was definitely Lily. Without hesitation, she told the coordinator to eliminate both participants named Lily.
Thanks to her financial influence, the decision was already made even before seeing the design drafts-the elimination was set in motion.
By the tthe afternoon shift ended, Lily barely had tto eat before Nadia took her to Nova Group Nadia seemed unusually happy, glancing at her phone repeatedly and muttering, "Why hasn't she addedyet?" "Waiting for someone?" Lily casually asked "Yeah." Nadia nodded but didn't elaborate.
Lily wasn't close enough to pry into Nadia's personal matters, and though Nadia didn't seem hostile, there was no sign that she'd accepted Lily as her assistant either. She decided not to ask any more questions.

About half an hour later, the car pulled up to the foreign restaurant on the ground floor of Nova Group. The towering Nova Group blocked the midday sun. Lily glanced up at the building for a few moments before following Nadia inside Nadia, knowing the way, led her directly to the private room. At the end of the second-floor corridor, the private room door was slightly open. A man and a woman's voices drifted out "Xavier, I really can't live without you. Please don't leave me." Sarah's voice trembled, tinged with a sob Lily froze, and Nadia, ahead of her, also halted, turning to gesture for silence.
"We better not go in. Let's wait here," Nadia whispered.
The door was ajar, and though they couldn't see the people inside, the m soft lighting illuminated two figures, tightly embracing each other. Lily couldn't tear her eyes away, staring inside without blinking,
"I won't leave you. As long as you hold on, I'll always be byy be by your side..." Xavier pulled away from Sarah, took a tissue, and gently wiped her tears.
