Having been working at Kya Young(changed into J&Y Group) for half a month, Nina Morrison, the director of planning department, works like sailing with the wind. She takes charge of the business proposal for Gray Group, which has passed the first round of approval. Raymond Lauren highly appreciates her efficiency and creativity.
Nina Morrison relives as well. Although Kya Young's building stands next to the building of Gray Group, she has never seen Lucien Gray for this half a month.
The only thing that makes her upset is Raymond Lauren. He seems to favor Nina much more than he does to other colleagues. Every time she worked late, and he must also worked late. Then he would drop her off on his way home.
She thought their home are really in one direction. Until she heard someone in the administration department said that Raymond Lauren lives in the south of the city.
But Nina Morrison lives in the north!
"In one direction" said by Raymond Lauren is just an excuse.
Nina Morrison tries to keep distance from him. She likes the enterprise culture of J&Y Group and cherishes this job. She will never get herself in any office romance.
Time goes by quietly till today. Raymond Lauren's secretary dials to Nina Morrison internal call, "Miss Morrison, Mr. Lauren wants you come with the business proposal of Gray Group."
Probably he wants to urge the process. Nina Morrison doesn't think too much. She takes her PC and walks to Raymond Lauren's office.
"Nina, you come with me to Gray Group." Raymond Lauren says only one sentence.
Nina Morrison's heart tightens and asks Raymond Lauren instinctively, "Why do we go to Gray Group?"
The first round of approval has passed and the second planning has not been finished. So there won't be the approval problems. So why do they go to Gray Group?
Raymond Lauren frowns, "The president of Gray Group comes back from the business trip. He has read the business proposal and is not satisfied. His secretary asks us to go over there for further discussion personally."
Nina Morrison is confused. Does the president need to discuss these details in person?
Raymond Lauren seems to see Nina Morrison's doubts and sighs, "This Mr. Gray doesn't follow the common rules. In theory, he doesn't need to discuss personally. But I don't know why. He insists that our direct project leader must go over and has a face-to face discussion with him. Never mind. Let's go."
Nina Morrison is the direct leader of this project.
Lucien Gray must have seen her name on the business proposal.
What does Lucien Gray want to do! It has been five years! He already has a new girlfriend. Why couldn't he let her go?
A piece of anger arouse in Nina Morrison's heart.
They comes to Gray Group. The receptionist guides Nina Morrison and Raymond Lauren to the president's office on the 18th floor, and bring them tea, "Mr. Gray is in a meeting. It will end soon. Please wait here for a moment."
Nina Morrison put her PC on the tea table. She glances around Lucien Gray's office.
The black carpet with golden lines. The pearl white wall. The nut-brown retro bookshelf takes up three walls. There is a big extravagant crystal chandelier hanging in the middle of the ceiling. On the desk, there are kinds of cute green plants, and a strange ball cactus looks like a doll.
Extravagant and delicate, all details are telling the attention and thoughtfulness.
Nina Morrison can't help thinking about the style of Lucien Gray's office five years ago. Everything is best but it is so simple to be bleaker.
The current style of Lucien Gray's office must be the masterpiece of Wendy
Nina Morrison is woolgathering. Raymond Lauren has stood up, "Hello, Mr. Gray!"
Lucien Gray is wearing a white shirt. The sleeves are rolled up to the elbow casually. He is born with the laziness and nobility. He shakes hands with Raymond Lauren.
Although Raymond Lauren is talking, Lucien 's eyes glance through Nina Morrison occasionally.
Nina Morrison lowers her head, observing her job duty as a little staff, and listens to Raymond Lauren and Lucien Gray talking about the business proposal quietly.
She only talks briefly when they need her explanation. She just wants to become invisible.
She listens to their discussion and starts to respect Lucien Gray. She thought that Lucien Gray was picky deliberately at the beginning, but after hearing his ideas, Nina Morrison finds that he is really thoughtful and open-minded.
The business proposal altered by him becomes more creative with more highlights.
Nina Morrison can't help looking up and runs into his eyes. The light flickered under his eyes makes her heart skip a beat.
After the discussion of the case, Raymond Lauren collects the materials and smiles at Lucien Gray, "Mr. Gray, we will revise it again according to your ideas and send the revised version for your review."
It means goodbye. Nina Morrison relives a lot.
