Chapter 1045 The Birthday Girl (1/2)

Steven parted his lips, but Carla didn't give him a chance to say anything. Instead, she handed him a document, which she had just picked up from her desk.

”This is your contract. Once you sign it, you'll be able to help me handle the work in Yu Sea City as well as represent me when necessary. I'll also inform the districts so they can assist you in whatever you need.”

Steven stared blankly at the document on her hands. It took him a few minutes to come back to his senses.

”Callie, shouldn't you have discussed this with me first?”

Arching an eyebrow, she asked, ”Why? Don't you want it?”

Steven grabbed the paper, and he replied, ”You've saved my life. Do I even have the right to deny you anything?”

”It's settled then! I wanted to have this arranged with you before I went to JA city. I have a parents' meeting at Sally's school to attend the day after tomorrow. So, until I'm back, you'll be in charge of Yu Sea City,”

Carla explained as she walked towards the door.

Steven's amber eyes started to blur while he watched her leave. When she was gone, he averted his gaze to the contract in his hand.

”Oh, I almost forgot! I'm planning on holding an art exhibition of mine, but what I have isn't enough. Perhaps you would like to have a few pieces of yours exhibited too? What do you think?”

Carla's voice suddenly echoed. Steven looked up and saw her back at the door, asking him.

However, she didn't stay or wait for an answer. She just walked away as if she had never returned.

On her way, Carla thought that she made a wise choice on having Steven by her side.

She was thankful that she managed to save his life. If it wasn't for that, he wouldn't have come back to help her now.

——

In the blink of an eye, time flew like an arrow.

Ten years had passed.

It was summer time in the Seaview Villa.

Carla swam to the pool ladder and got up, sitting at the edge of it. Next thing, she grabbed a hand towel nearby and wiped her face in the soft fabric.
