Attention Sir, I Have Your Heart Handcuffed!-Chapter 720: [Yan Jian Extra] 18. How is it possible? At this moment, there is actually a faint heartbeat_3
Standing on the second floor, James slowly curved his lips into a smile.
He believed what she said.
And that’s why all this time, aside from initially settling scores with him, she had genuinely participated seriously throughout, working earnestly every day.
He had seen the way she worked diligently, during the design and renovation of his office.
Her talent also shone brightly before him in that renovation.
But after all, that was not her specialty, and what he could see was only a part of her.
So... he grew a longing desire to see her true specialty.
To see what kind of clothes she could design, to see her one day standing on the international fashion stage, to see her surrounded by top models walking to the foreground, standing under dazzling lights, receiving thunderous applause and cheers.
And all of that starts from the smallest beginning, starting from what’s in front of her.
The Catherine project isn’t big, and the studio is still small, but as a starting point in Tang Yanjian’s professional field, it is a good choice.
Just as she herself said, Catherine has a wealth of experience in this industry. As long as she’s willing to put her guard against Catherine aside, she can indeed learn a lot from her.
Although she is the granddaughter of the Tang Family, the Tang Family is a law family, and no one has ever pursued the fashion industry; professional assistance they could offer her is limited.
And as the granddaughter of the Tang Family, she deliberately chose a career that was vastly different from her family’s business, which also highlights her personality: she doesn’t want to always carry the Tang Family label; she wants to become her own person. And the most important way to achieve self-realization is to attain significant success in the career she has chosen.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but smile again.
Her stubbornness is so much like that of his own heart.
Ford, this surname is also one he wouldn’t want if he could choose.
As for taking back the Fude Group, firstly, it’s to prove he has the capability, and secondly, he could not bear to see it fall into the hands of someone like Lin Qi, who is not part of the Ford family.
That’s all.
.
He had finished looking around the studio, and as his thoughts settled, his joy grew more evident.
Choosing to spend this evening at the studio turned out to be the right choice.
He smiled as he walked toward the stairs, descending slowly.
She learned well, and she did well.
Just now, in Catherine’s office, separated by a glass wall, next door was the showroom. Although he didn’t walk over to look closely at the works, he still identified a few pieces that matched her personal style through the glass wall.
Her designs, compared to Catherine’s work, might still be a bit raw, and some details aren’t quite on point, but... her talent and effort are already clearly visible.
Her success is just around the corner.
With that strange sense of satisfaction, as if he himself had accomplished something significant... he walked up to her, stood firm, and devoured her with his eyes, squinting.
She’s lost some weight, the baby fat on her apple cheeks slightly faded.
In his heart, there was both sweet and bitter satisfaction and longing.
Because of matters in Asia, he hadn’t stayed long in M Country for more than a month; afterward... he deliberately hadn’t contacted her.
Thus, could he assume that her weight loss isn’t just because of work but partly because of him?
.
His close-up gaze slowly filled, covering her entire face. Yan Jian’s heart pounded wildly, and she clutched the edge of the desk behind her to steady herself with difficulty.
Nervousness, she was always nervous in front of him.
But this time, although still nervous, there was vaguely something different in the details of her nervousness.
She gritted her teeth and decided to look up defiantly: "What are you looking at? James, I don’t have much time for you, what exactly do you want, please get it over quickly! I have to be home by 10 PM, and also..."
She glanced around, her eyes brimming with a watery shine.
"And this is a studio, not only mine, it’s also a shared workplace for my colleagues. Being with you here... I feel guilty."
He, on the contrary, laughed: "Making you feel guilty is exactly what I want."
He reached out and traced her soft jawline: "The more you resist, the more I desire."
.
He finally stepped forward, closing the gap between them, cupped her neck in his hands, and kissed her greedily.
So long, so long, as if across a lifetime, across—a million centuries, before he could taste her once more.
