"It's perfect!" Jonathan mused, looking up at Nina across from him. "It's amazing, Miss Reed."

Nina bit her lips as she smiled, her cheeks turning a shade of pink. "Thank you," she expressed, pleased to hear that he liked her presentation.

"You're amazing, Miss Reed." He glanced at the designs she created, nodding in satisfaction. "Very... much."

"Thank you, Mr. Russel. I really appreciate it."

Jonathan nodded as he gazed at her again. "Send me the contract. I'm signing."

"Really?!" Nina bit her tongue, her face now turning red with embarrassment. "Uh, sorry."

"Haha. It's alright, Miss Reed." Jonathan laughed, leaning closer to look at her face. "You don't have to be embarrassed. Though I think it's cute."

Nina pursed her lips, drawing away slightly. She smiled awkwardly, trying her best to appear natural.

"Thank you," she repeated for the third time. "Then I'll send the contract. Once it's signed and notarized, we can start the project right away."

"Sure."

"It was a pleasure, Mr. Russel." Nina slowly stood up, extending her hand to him. Seeing her action, Jonathan also rose to his feet and clasped her hand. "The pleasure is mine. I'm glad I didn't choose the wrong firm for this."

"Thank you. I'm looking forward to working with you, Mr. Russel." "The feeling is mutual."

The two of them smiled at each other before Nina tried to retrieve her hand from him. However, when she did, he held her hand a little tighter. Deep lines appeared between her brows as she glanced at their hands before looking up at him.
