Chapter 231

:

“Congratulatory…for the opening of the new art gallery in the art district downtown.”

Josie smiled as she took the flowers.

“Did you see it?”

“I did. It was beautiful…as usual.”

Josie blushed a little as she placed her flowers into the empty vase on her desk.

“Thank you. That one was actually pretty fun. It’s good the owner was so eccentric.”

For the past several months, Josie had been working under the name Elizabeth Bowen. Her company, Imperial Architecture and Designs was slowly becoming a huge success. After the signing of the contracts, Joshua helped her set up her company while also keeping her true identity a secret. All the meetings up until this point was done through her personal assistant Emily Wright.

She hired Emily right after she was wrongfully terminated from HT–Corp. Her father’s company. Emily was one of HT–Corp’s best assistants, but after pointing out several different errors Vanessa made on a proposal, Vanessa had her fired. With the exception of Marlon, Joshua, Evelyn, and Georgia…Emily was the only other person who knew the truth about Josie.

Joshau handed Josie a stack of papers.

“What’s this?”

“My uncle is trying find out who you really are and where you’re located so he can poach you.”

Josie’s eyes shot up at Joshua; she already knew about the power struggles happening at Watts–Corp. In a lot of ways, his grandfather sound a lot like her own father. Treating one child better than the other, giving him a sense of self satisfaction and indulgment. Josie could relate to the resentment.

“Is that right…hmm…should I be worried?”

Joshua smiled mischievously, this game of cat and mouse with his uncle was actually bringing excitement to him. The fact that he was already working with the prize made it all the more thrilling.

“Not at all. Actually, I’d like to start working on the competition for Delgato Real Estate.”

“Have you

told

your

board that you’re entering the competition yet?”

Joshua grinned.

“Nah…we’ll keep that a secret for now.”

Josie smiled lightly, she knew Joshua was having fun with all of this, but she couldn’t afford to lose sight of her overall goal no matter much ‘fun‘ this was. Before she could respond, Emily ran into the office with an excited expression on her face.

“Ms. Elizabeth…look at this!”

Chapter 231

Josie stood as Emily handed her the letter. Her eyes began to widen as she read over the contents. Suddenly, a huge grin appeared on Josie’s face. Confused, Joshua stood up.

“What is it?”

Josie looked up at Joshua, her face filled with glee.

“Looks like the Taylors are interested in the services of Elizabeth Bowen.”

Like James, Christian had also been trying to find out who this ‘Elizabeth Bowen‘ was. He’d saw the openings she’d designed for those high–end restaurants and galleries. Word was spreading that two more projects designed by her was coming out. He couldn’t help but feel he’d seen her work before; nonetheless, Christian felt that if HT was going to have a shot at landing that real estate contract by winning the contest, they would need this Elizabeth Bowen.

“Dad, I think this would be a great opportunity, I mean her work is exquisite.”

Harold stared at the pictures from the latest opening, his brows furrowed.

“I admit, her work is definitely unique. But I don’t like the idea of going into business with someone I don’t know. Besides, what about Nessa?”

Christian’s brows furrowed; he thought Vanessa was extremely talented, but he wasn’t sure she was ready for that type of competition.
