Chapter 1389 Investigate Chris
“I’ll try my best!”
“Good luck!”
With that, Nina hurriedly drove to Seet Group. Stephen came into sight right after Nina parked her car.
“Ms. Nina, good morning,” Stephen greeted politely.
Nina nodded smilingly and replied, “Good morning!” A moment later, she asked casually, “I haven’t seen your blueprints lately. Do you have any new ideas?”
Stephen was taken aback for a while before he replied, “Ms. Nina, I’ll do my best within my remit. You can look for a special assistant to assist you whenever you need.”
Nina was surprised upon hearing Stephen’s response. Looking at Stephen’s stern face, she got what he meant very soon.
From now on, Stephen will only do his work and not create blueprints for me like before!
“Sure! Thank you so much for everything you have done for me. I’ll instruct the finance department to pay you for your extra work.”
“Ms. Nina, you’ve misunderstood me, for it isn’t what I meant. Since I helped you willingly, you don’t have to pay me for it. However, I might not have free time to help you from now on because my girlfriend has requested me to spend more time with her.”
Glancing at Stephen, Nina smiled and said, “I understand. You don’t have to explain it. Anyway, as a boyfriend, you should spend more time with your girlfriend. Besides, since you’ve done extra work, you should get paid. I hope you won’t refuse to accept the money.”
Stephen was stunned and didn’t know how to respond.
Deep down, Stephen was aware that he didn’t have much talent in design and could only design the blueprints because the other man was a gifted man. In other words, the one who had assisted Nina wasn’t Stephen but that talented man instead.
Therefore, Stephen thought he would feel troubled if he got paid.
“Ms. Nina, if you insist on paying me, I’d suggest donating the money to your mother’s hospital instead. Consider this my good deed for the day.”
Nina was surprised by Stephen’s suggestion. He refused to accept the money and even asked me to donate it!
At the sight of Stephen’s disappearing figure, Nina somehow felt that something was wrong with Stephen. Also, she could tell that Stephen seemed to be deep in thought earlier, which made her wonder what was on his mind.
Nonetheless, since Stephen intended to use the money for charitable deeds, Nina decided to do as he said.
The next moment, Nina took out her phone to transfer fifty thousand to Nicole from her account. It was noted that the money was donated by a kind man for Nicole to help the patients in the hospital.
Nicole replied with a message that read: Please thank the kind man on my behalf!
Nina texted her: Okay, Mommy!
With that, Nina put her phone back and walked toward her office. Deep down, she still felt it was a pity that Stephen wanted to stop designing blueprints. Stephen’s design concepts are so close to Chris’, and I don’t think I can discover another designer like him. Alas, I wonder if I can ever hire such a talented staff to be my special assistant!
After walking into her office, Nina had barely sat down when her assistant came in hurriedly.
“Ms. Nina, you instructed me to investigate Stephen a few days ago. After going through a thorough investigation, I have found something strange.”
“What is it?”
“Stephen underwent a heart transplant before.”
“A heart transplant?” Nina was stunned.
“Yes, Ms. Nina. Nonetheless, it won’t affect his work because he has recovered.”
“Anything else?”
“The rest of the information is the same as what we already have. Stephen used to work as a translator and excel at the job. Also, he has been dating his girlfriend for two years, and their relationship appears to be stable.”
“Is that it?”
“Yes, and I reckon that we won’t obtain any extra information even if we continue investigating him.”
“I understand.”
Suddenly, Nina recalled the conversation between Maya and Evan the other day. Since Evan claimed Chris was a good man, Nina believed there was more to it than met the eye.
“Investigate my tutor, Chris Sanders!”
“Ms. Nina, why do you suddenly want to investigate him? Didn’t you say you wish to forget him and won’t mention him forever?” Nina’s assistant asked softly.
