Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother

Chapter 60

I had just finished preparing the competition draft, and it turned out even better than expected.

I was quite satisfied with it and was about to show it to Colin when my phone rang.

“Colin, I was just about to call you. The draft is ready. Do you want to take a look?” I asked.

“It seems that we think alike, Lulu,” he remarked, his voice carrying a touch of charm, much like the comforting warmth of nighttime light.

I pursed my lips, pondering why Colin appeared somewhat flirtatious.

He had watched me grow up and had always treated me like a sister. I had to be overthinking.

“So, Colin, why are you calling me so late?” I asked.

“Do you want to take on a project? It’s a great opportunity,” he said.

“Do tell me, but I’m not sure if I can do it.”

wedding anniversary.

“He intends to capture their decades of memories and present them to his grandparents on the exact day. It’s a high–stakes project with a tight timeline, so he’s offering a good sum.”

“How much?” I asked.
