Chapter 753
Selena frowned when she saw Timothy entering her office without prior announcement. Her guard was
up when she realized he reeked of alcohol and even locked the door. She immediately stood up and
walked out from behind her desk.
"Haha! Don't be nervous!" Timothy laughed and sized up Selena under the influence of alcohol.
He always thought that Selena was utterly beautiful, but he was not interested as she was married and
older than him.
In his drunken state, however, he felt giddy as he eyed how the formal dress on this woman
accentuated her beautiful figure.novelbin
He took just a few steps toward Selena and said, "I just so happened to pass this place o n my way
home, so I'm here to take a look. I'd like to know what's the development of South Hill Real Estate’s
project. By the way, I heard that you've appointed the Taylor family to supply eighty percent of the
project material?"
The corners of Selena's mouth twitched when she heard this. She had been worried about how people
would gossip about this behind her back.
Still, many days had passed without anybody saying anything. After all, the general manager had
agreed to this and signed the agreement. Even he felt that the materials from the Taylor family were
rather good.
Selena eventually relaxed. Regardless, the general manager had already mentioned this to James
Drake and Miss Tanya;
Timothy should have known about this much earlier.
She did not know why Timothy brought up this matter.
Selena smiled embarrassingly. "Yes. Young Master Drake should've known about this since long ago,
right? The general manager already approved it. Your father and Miss Tanya also knew about it. They
had visited the site and were satisfied with the materials as the quality was good!"
Timothy smiled and walked closer to Selena. “We're definitely satisfied. I didn't say that we're not. This
isn’t about the materials!”
“If there's nothing wrong with the material, what is it?" Selena turned around with a frown and reached
for a paper cup. "Young Master Drake, you must've drunk lots of wine. Let me pour you a cup of warm
water." Selena bent over at the water dispenser and fetched him a cup of warm water. Her alluring bent
figure in her formal dress made Young Master Drake feel rather thirsty. He could not help but swallow
his saliva. This woman grew increasingly seductive the more he looked at her.
Timothy's imaginations began to wander a s he continued to look at Selena.
With the cup of warm water at hand, Selena turned around toward him only to b e stunned at his rather
suggestive gaze.
Timothy immediately looked away when h e saw Selena turning around. With a grin o n his face, he
said, "Haha! Miss Selena is too generous, but it's not about the material. I know several
materialsupplying companies that have better branding, a longer history, and their quality is quite nice.
The materials they have are indisputably reliable!” He paused here before continuing, "If that's the
case, I wonder why Miss Selena chose the Taylor family without even considering these companies? Is
it possible that you have some hidden, selfish motives?"
Selena was slightly nervous when Timothy asked her this; this matter caused her quite the discomfort
for quite some time.
Although the Taylor family was not bad, Sonia had filtered the other material suppliers and did not pass
them to her.
She knew about this, but she chose to ignore it for the Taylor family's sake and signed the contract.
She never expected that Young Master Drake would purposely talk about this after the general
manager, Miss Tanya and James had agreed to it.
Did the Drakes want to go back on their
word?
This was the assumption and worry that plagued Selena.
After all, this project could help the Taylor family earn quite a revenue. It could guarantee their profit
and healthy business development for the next two years.
The project had just started not long ago. It would be troublesome for the Taylor family if the Drakes
changed their minds.
"Young Master Drake, are you saying there are several companies better than the Taylor family? I'm
not very clear about this as Supervisor Neal is the one who did the research. In the end, she's the one
who compiled all pieces of information and handed them to me. Regardless, I felt that only the Taylor
family is the most suitable one among all the companies she handed t o me!"
With a smile on her face, Selena passed the cup of water to Timothy and added, "The agreement was
signed and approved by the general manager. This proves that the Taylor family is entirely capable of
such an important role."
