My Paranoid Lover (Lance Mason) novel Chapter 9

Chapter 9 On Purpose

I’ve never seen Brian so happy when we signed some previous huge contact, seems like this was really a huge and expensive project.

In the car, Brian told me that the partner wanted a design for a very big factory office, and it will be a little different from our usual projects. However, this is a very expensive project, we should take it very seriously.

I got nervous a little. “Mr Brian, I’m afraid of messing this up, I’ve never done any design of this sort. I don’t know what to say later.”

Brian patted my shoulder and said: “Don’t worry, we won’t be the one deciding the main theme, they already have a rough idea and the rough sketch, we just need to participate in this project together and we will be rich.” He laughed. Brian is a middle-aged man. He is my manager and he treats me really well.

We arrived at our soon to be partner’s company. Looking at the huge and luxurious office building, I knew immediately that it wasn’t a small company.

The design of the office building seemed oddly familiar.

Brian spoke up: “Of course America’s best property company, the Mason’s Company, would have such a nice building.” He must have seen the look on my face when I saw the building.

Wait a minute, America’s best property company? Mason’s? God knows I didn’t want to have any relations with that family anymore.

Timmediately spoke out my feelings to Brian: “Manager, for this factory office project, I don’t think I will be able to carry it out perfectly, why not you get some other designers to do this?”

Brian looked at me confusingly: “Jennie, why didn’t you tell me when we were at our office? We are here now, we can’t back up anymore. Furthermore, no designers of your age is as good as you!”

I wanted to say something to reject Brian but he didn’t give me the chance to. The assistant from the Mason’s Company saw us and rushed towards us. “Hi, nice to meet you, both are you are from Creative Design right?”

Brian nodded. “Yes, we are from Creative Designs, I’m the manager Brian Şimone.”

Brian then pointed at me and introduced me. “This is our youngest and best designer, Jennie Gomez. She has a lot of experience and have completed many projects perfectly.”

Then, Brian pulled me along with him to the meeting room at 11th floor.

Chapter 9 On Purpose

What made me relaxed was that the person I hated most wasn’t there. There were a lot of people in the room, some of whom I know, they are all famous designers too.

I’m from Denmark, came to this place, France to work. I wanted to go to California in America, but too bad Lance is stationed there, his main company is opened in California. Therefore I chose France. Who knew Lance even has a branch in France…..

The Mason’s Company sent some of their main designers to us to sign an agreement. They want a local designing company.

Although they already had their main theme figured out and that I won’t be able to design much of it, but the Mason’s Company is the leading one in this area in US and Europe. Their commission were always enormous.

Therefore, when they announced that they wanted to find a local company for cooperation, every single one of interior designing company went nuts. All of the companies were fighting like mad for this opportunity.

I sat on my seat properly, listening at their discussion. Brian kept doing notes and preparing the points to be discussed later on. He asked me to prepare too, but I didn’t know what to say. So my paper was blank.

Brian shoved my shoulder and whispered: “Jen, what are you doing?! Write down your ideas! We are speaking next!”

I looked at him with tired eyes and said: “I told you I’ve never done anything of this sort, how would I have any ideas now?
