Chapter 166 The Haughty Womant

The unexpected female voice startled me, and I quickly looked at the caller ID. I was

puzzled when I

noticed it was an unfamiliar number.

“H–I’m sorry! I–I was just.” I blushed as I started to explain myself, realizing my previous

words were harsh.

The person on the other end didn’t answer my question, Instead, she asked in a distant

tone, “Is this Chloe?”

“Yes, it’s me.”

*Prepare some steel window designs and bring them to ATL Empire’s Design Division,” the

woman’s

voice was cold and commanding, leaving no room for doubt. “Come in person.”

“All right.” Although I agreed, I couldn’t shake off my unease. I wondered who the woman

and why

I rushed to the technical department and got them to print my designs. Then, I brought

Design Division.

Design Division was in the main building but was an independent department. Everyone

knew ATL

Empire’s Design Division was highly authoritative. When I arrived on the designated floor,

I explained my purpose, and the receptionist led me to the Chief Designer’s office.

There, I met a composed middle–aged woman in professional attire. As soon as I entered,

she scrutinized

me from head to toe before finally settling her gaze on my face. Her gaze was cold and

sharp, and she

seemed sure of who I was. She spoke without pleasantries, “The design,”

I politely handed over the designs I had brought. The woman wasted no time in taking

them from me to

review them. Soon after, she said, “Okay, you can leave now.”

I was displeased by her attitude and couldn’t help but stare at her. She seemed to sense it

and shifted her

gaze from my designs to meet my eyes. Her tone grew increasingly unfriendly as she

asked, “Is there

anything else?”

I wondered how to respond for a while. I cleared my throat and finally said, “The current

designs cover

the most commonly used styles and sizes. If you have special requirements or unique

structural shapes,

please communicate them to us. Design adjustments may take about three to five working

days to cle

complete.”

“Got it,” she replied decisively.

“In that case, I’ll take my leave,” I said, not wanting to engage with her further. After all,

there was no need to interact with someone who didn’t appreciate it. Respect should go

both ways.

I was still trying to process the encounter as I left the room and entered the elevator. I was

sure she was the one on the phone earlier. This woman was unlike anyone I had ever met.

She was arrogant and event

hostile.

I was surprised to run into Nick when I reached the ground floor. We both paused, and I

took the initiative to greet him with a smile. “Long time no see, Mr. Nick.”

“What brings you here today, Ms. Chloe?” he asked, his refined demeanor intact

“I came to deliver a set of steel window designs to the Design Division,” I replied truthfully.

He hesitated for a moment before returning a polite smile to me. “Oh, but why did you

come in person?”

I smiled, being deliberately subtle, “They requested that I bring them personally. How

could I refuse?”

Nick looked curious this time but maintained his gentlemanly demeanor, saying, “I see.

Well, thank you for

going through all the trouble.”

I couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease. “Mr. Nick, is there an issue?”

After a pause, he replied, “No, but if there are any issues, we can always communicate.”

“All right then. I’ll take my leave,” I said with a smile, bidding Nick farewell as I left ATL

Empire.

However, I couldn’t shake the unease in my heart.
