The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 197 The Night Before the Engagement

When the topic of overtime came up, the room went dead silent. Ramon, the notorious workaholic, had once worked seven days and nights straight, pushing five employees to the brink of collapse. It almost caused a serious incident, and it took Liliana three days of scolding to get him to take a break.

Soon, Allison joined Ramon and Liliana to go over the design drafts.

Noticing their drawing software was outdated, Allison upgraded their program right then and there, even setting up a 3D projection.

Ramon was blown away. "Wait, it can do this?"

He reached out to move the projection in front of him, amazed that it was interactive and could be manipulated and broken down.

Ramon and Liliana looked like they had discovered a new world, while Allison guided them through the features.

Liliana chuckled. "Allison, you're a real lifesaver! Ramon, don't forget to pay her for her hard work!"

Ramon nodded. This kind of high-tech program would have cost a fortune if they had to buy it elsewhere. Meeting Allison today was pure luck.

"Don't worry, Liliana. I've got it covered. Look at this, the details are perfect!" Ramon said.

As the two of them chatted excitedly, Allison was pulled away by Mia to pick out shoes and accessories.

Just then, someone rushed in.

Victor walked in and immediately saw Ramon and Liliana, engrossed in their work and laughing together. His face darkened instantly. "It's late. Why aren't you home yet?" With that, Victor pulled Liliana into his arms, his face full of displeasure.

"You've been recuperating for days. You need your evening massages and therapy. Didn't I tell you to rest at home and not come to the office?" Victor said.

Ramon frowned. "If you're not feeling well, you shouldn't be here. I can handle things, Liliana "
