Sarah focused her gaze and immediately shot up from her chair. "Xyla, you're back in the country?
In the video, the sign for Jadeford International Airport was clearly visible behind Xyla
Sarah quickly grabbed her coat and headed out the door. "The weather is so cold, and you cback without
even telling me. What did the doctor say about your health?" She was always particularly concerned about Xyla's
health.
"Sarah, where's Xavier? Can you ask him to calong to pickup too, please?" Xyla's words made Sarah
stop in her tracks.
Sarah couldn't hide the disappointment in her expression. "He probably can't make it"
"He won't even cto the airport to pickup, and you said that he would spend Christmas abroad with me.
Sarah, is something going on between the both of you?" Xyla had already gotten into a car. The other end of the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtline went quiet, and she noticed Sarah's face looked slightly pale on the screen.
She smiled at Sarah "Don't worry, Sarah. Now that I'm back, I'll help you with whatever problems you have!"
Sarah sighed softly, "Xyla, I'll handle my own matters. Don't worry about it. Where are you now? I'll cand
look for you."
Xyla had already booked a hotel and sent Sarah the location. Sarah rushed over immediately.
In the end, Lily couldn't figure out how to start the conversation with Terence about the Bayview Gardens
renovation
If she brought it up, at best it would just be a favor she couldn't repay, but what she teared was that it might go
beyond just a favor.
A few days later, Maryanne arranged to meet Lily to sign the Devereux villa's contract. They agreed to meet at a
cafe. Lily arrived ten minutes earlier but saw that Maryanne had gollen there even earlier.
"Well, this is a surprise. You're not usually one for being early." Lily said she sat opposite Maryanne and put her
bag down.
Before Lily could even finish speaking, Maryanne reached her hand out "Givethe contract quickly. I'll sign it
first so you won't be delayed later!"
Lily hadn't even brought the contract at all. If it was about a favor, the one she owed for Bayview Gardens was
more than enough. If it wasn't, she had even less reason to take on the design project for the Devereux villa.
"Maryanne, I've given it sthought. It just doesn't deel appropriate forto design Terence's future family
home. Let's just forget it, but thank you."
Lily knew she could face termination if she couldn't secure this project
However, she was about to participate in the Avelon Designs Competition finals, and the shop wasn't going to
grant her a two-month leave anyway. She would have no choice but to resign
"What's this?" Maryanne immediately frowned. "Why are you being so formal with me? My brother loves your
designs, and so do my parents!

"We're helping you out, but if your designs are bad, we'll definitely ask for revisions. It's not like there won't be
any demands!"
Lily saw that Maryanne was starting to get anxious and quickly said, "Actually, as to how the renovation should
look, | think it's better to wait until Terence has a girlfriend. His future wife can decide how the designs will be.
"That way, they won't end up disliking it later."
Given Terence's status, his future wife would undoubtedly cfrom a prestigious background as well. If she
didn't like the family hthen, it would just be a waste of money to tear it down and renovate it again.
Maryanne had nothing to say when she realized this. Though she still felt a little sorry. "Doesn't that mean all
your hard work and all this twas wasted?"
"Not necessarily. When Terence is ready to get married, we can show his fiancée my design," Lily said with a
smile. "If she likes it, they can still use it, and I'll still get my commission
Maryanne glanced around the café. "Fine, we'll do it your way. | won't argue with you today, but go and freshen
up quickly. The blind date my mom set you up with is here!" Lily was confused and stunned. She scanned the
