Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)

Chapter 502 I Have Your Back

I went through the proposal Anne gave me meticulously, and I had to say that she surprised me.

I was right in thinking that Anne was a detail-oriented person. She might not have much creative juice, but she was an expert when it came to spotting the details. Judging by this area alone, she was a genius. After all, details were the name of the game when it came to design. Anne had offered a sincere apology to me, and she took her job seriously. So, I was willing to give her a chance.

McLennon Group had a lot of competitors in Erewhon now, but I was brimming with confidence. I would feel very successful if I could stand out in this harsh environment.

There were only four people in my team, but we worked very efficiently. We managed to finish the bulk of the design in just a few days.

When I received a call from Astrid, I was packing up my stuff and getting off work.

"I can finally go for an internship, Eva! Hurry up and get downstairs. You're buying me a big dinner tonight!"

"Shouldn't you be buying me dinner instead? Give me two minutes. I'm coming right away." I smiled as I walked out of the office.

Astrid drove today, and she was waving at me non-stop. "Hurry up. I've long heard about a good steak joint in this part of the city."

"Since I'm the one who's been here longer, shouldn't you be asking for my preferences?" I looked at her, feeling amused.

Astrid immediately protested, "I've just started my internship, and the pay isn't exactly high. Moreover, don't you think you should welcome the new employee to the company?" Astrid winked at me, and I finally knew why she was this exhilarated.
