Chapter 140 - Vincents Cousin (1/2)

It's been two days since Vincent signed the final contract from Davies Group.

Last night, the first batch of engineers and architects finally arrived in Dream City. And today, his team was working on a spacious room to serve as their office.

At the moment, Vince was assembling his desk while the rest of his team was doing the same as well. They were setting desks and tables for each of them.

Vince's private office is big enough for him to place a desk, a sofa, one long table, and a row of cabinets. And since it won't be a permanent office, he doesn't need a bigger one.

Conveniently, this apartment has space on the first floor for them to use as an office. If ever he wanted to work overtime, he doesn't need to drive around to go home. It will take just stairs away.

Vincent tries on the blinds he places on the glass wall in his office to have some privacy if he wants to focus on his work, especially when designing the Dream City Shopping Center and the Dream City University. He needs to draw at least two models for his boss to choose from and approve.

Now that Vince finished putting up the blinds on the windows, next, he installed the hanging cabinets on the wall above his desk.

He was twisting the screw when he heard three voices of women chatting with his engineers and architects.

He only shook his head as the conversation was loud enough for him to eavesdrop on them.

”Hi, Shen Group people! Where's Tim?” Helen immediately asked the moment she entered the office. Following behind her is Maine and Miley, another secretary like her.

At first, the seven men were frozen from whatever they're doing upon seeing three beautiful women entering their office. But then, they all cursed inwardly when they only looked for Tim.

They wanted to think that these women were here to flirt with their boss. But yeah, their boss is snobbish. That would be impossible. But why were they looking for Tim anyway?

When one of the architects returned to his senses, he smiled and said, ”Wait here, ladies. I'll go upstairs and call Tim.”

The guy is the younger one among them all. He is also tall and lean, and the three secretaries instantly smiled sweetly at him with sparkling eyes.

”Thanks!” The three women said it at once, which made the others chuckle.

Harvey walks outside but stops at the end of the stairs. He looked up and shouted.

”Timothy Cheng! Three pregnant women are looking out for you! They said you are the father...”

”Shut the fuck up, Harvey!” Tim yelled back from the third floor, who is currently descending the stairs. The woman behind him frowned.

”Is that joke isn't outdated yet?” Nancy mouthed annoyingly. She used to hear this joke back in P Country, and so, she couldn't help rolling her eyes.

Tim laughed awkwardly. He glances at Nancy as he explained. ”These men don't have a better joke.”

Meanwhile, Helen, Maine, and Miley were shocked for a moment. But then, they joined the men laughing at that joke, especially when Tim responded, which their voices were echoing throughout the apartment.

Not long, Tim appeared in the office, and Helen immediately greeted him.

”Hi, Tim!” But then, her eyes landed on the woman following him behind. ”Oh, Nancy, you're here!”

”Hey.” Nancy smiled plainly as she still feels a little annoyed. She couldn't stop herself glaring at Harvey, thinking of his lame joke. The guy is just scratching the back of his head on the corner, holding, not bursts out laughing.

”What are you doing here, Nancy?” asked Maine to her, which made her even irritated, but she still smiled even though she only fakes it.

”I came to help Tim prepare lunch for them,” Nancy replied nonchalantly.

”Oh, my gosh! Is Tim your boyfriend?”

Later, Helen burst out that made Tim and Nancy blushed. The sudden awkwardness they feel worsens when the other men cough, like teasing Tim.

”Ahem! Ahem!”

”Hey, girl! You're keeping a secret from us!” Helen bumped Nancy by the hips, which the girl pushed toward Tim. Lucy widened her eyes, then glared at Helen, who only gave her a teasing smile.

”That's right! Now I understand what Tim said before! He's single but not available to mingle! Tim is preserving himself for you, Nancy!”

”Hey! What are you talking about, Helen?” Shocked, at the same time, embarrassment displayed on her face, which Helen kept teasing her.

She leaned over and whispered to Nancy, ”Don't worry. We won't steal Tim from you.”

Nancy's ears are like bitten red and her face flushing pink. She's praying that hopefully, Tim didn't hear it. She suddenly feels embarrassed! But she truly gets jealous when some women look for Tim even though she knew it would be related to their work.

”Well then! We're here to check on you guys. The bosses wanted to know why the Shen Group didn't join us for lunch!” said Helen.
