“Not exactly,” Steven said. “The boss's grandmother is ninety-six years old. She’s had high blood pressure for years, but it was well-controlled until recently, thanks to a treatment from the boss's late wife. Meggie had been feeling better after taking her prescribed medications. Unfortunately, the boss's wife passed away three years ago, and the treatment might not be effective anymore after all this time. Meggie’s health has declined in recent years; her blood pressure remains dangerously high, even on maximum medication, and she’s been admitted to ICU multiple times. The boss was raised by her, and his feelings for her are extraordinary. Naturally, everything revolves around her well-being, and he hasn’t neglected the collaboration with Stardream, Emily. I hope you and Adam understand.” Adam sighed after hearing this. “I completely understand; family comes first. I can relate to that feeling. Don’t worry, Steven. What do we need to do to assist Mr. Norman? Just let us know, and Stardream will do everything we can to help.” Steven smiled a little at Adam’s response. “We are launching a luxury apartment project that was originally overseen by Mrs. Norman. It was her wish to see it completed, but now it has become a legacy. Since her passing, the boss hasn’t been very active in company affairs. This time he’s taken charge to fulfill his wife’s dream, so he’s keen to hire the best designers in the world. And since you just won the Pritzker Prize, Miranda, he believes you’re the perfect candidate to lead this project.” With Steven’s earnest words, it was clear that the Great Wall Group meant business. With an assistant like him, anyone could sense their sincerity. However, Adam was in a hurry to bring Emily into this. Emily glanced back at Adam, who awkwardly smiled. “I thought Mr. Norman would be here to discuss some technical details, and I was worried he wouldn’t find our team competent enough. That’s why I called you here.” Emily closed her eyes, contemplating what to say. Mr. Norman sought out Stardream for the luxury apartment project, which was based on a design her mother had created. What did he truly want from her? “Adam, you’re worried for no reason. Mr. Norman is a talented architect himself; he just transitioned into business. Had he stayed in the design field, I might not even have a chance here,” she said. Adam exclaimed, “Mr. Norman is that impressive?” “He’s just very humble and prefers to stay out of the spotlight…” Steven scratched his chin thoughtfully, his eyes suddenly sparkling as he regarded Emily. “It seems you’re quite familiar with our boss?” Emily hesitated for a moment, then explained, “I met him once in Rome. We both signed up for the same tour group.”“A tour group?” Steven raised an eyebrow. “Yes, a tour group,” Emily confirmed. Steven chuckled. “Our boss doesn’t usually take trips for leisure. Are you sure you didn’t confuse him with someone else? Your description does fit his personality perfectly; he’s always been low-key and avoids revealing himself to others.” Business? Emily recalled those days in Rome. Was his business just occupying room 2307? With so many hotels and room numbers, why did he choose the one she was staying in? “Maybe I did misidentify him,” Emily said, forcing a chuckle and dismissing the subject. Steven, perceptive as he was, noticed her reluctance and quickly asked, “Do you have your ID and passport with you?” “Of course, I always keep them on me. Why?” “Perfect! Let’s catch the next flight to New York, so you won’t have to go back for your things.” Adam stepped in, protective as he moved closer to Emily. “Sorry, Steven, but our entire design team consists of six people, and we’re all heading to New York to collaborate on this project. I’ve already arranged for them to fly out next Wednesday. It makes sense for Miranda to travel with them.” Steven smiled politely, but his tone was firm. “Adam, you might misunderstand. For Miranday, New York is her home, while the UK is a foreign country.” “I’m British,” Emily interjected. “My adoptive parents are British. I grew up in England; I am British.”
