?Chapter 277:


    Noah looked up at her, his expression enigmatic, and he said nothing.


    Eva regarded Sadie with appreciation, clearly intrigued.


    Sadie appeared much morepelling than Eva had initially thought. Previously, the butler had already ryed to Eva that this was the Sadie Leanna had mentioned.


    Now seeing her firsthand, Eva could understand why Leanna had spoken so highly of Sadie. Sadie truly stood out, especiallypared to someone who was merely superficial.


    Besides, Noah’s strikingly handsome features typically drew admiring nces from many women. Sadie, however, wasn’t one to be easily swayed.


    Sadie handed over a meticulously prepared coboration proposal to Eva.


    “Ms. Shaw, please review this coboration proposal from our studio.”


    Eva took the document and flipped through it casually.


    “The proposal is quite standard, though you’ve obviously given it considerable thought,” Evamented, her voice neutral, giving nothing away.


    Without showing much reaction, she shut the proposal and ced it to the side. “I tend to avoid the conventional. I’m already familiar with the operations of your studio and the Wall Group.”


    Indeed, Wall Group’s branch office had been relentlessly in touch with her, so much so that it had be somewhat overwhelming.


    Eva’s eyes shifted yfully between Sadie and Noah as she suggested, “Here’s my offer. Tonight, you’ll both have the opportunity to impress me. Use Stonemont Estate as your inspiration to create a design. The one whose design captivates me more will earn a chance at partnership.”


    Noah’s brow knitted together, and just as he was about to respond, Eva lifted a hand, silencing him. “Mr. Wall, I understand the time is tight, but genuine talent thrives under pressure, wouldn’t you say?”


    Eva’s lips, tinted red, curved into a smile as she lifted her coffee cup, motioning as though inviting Noah to a toast.

    Noah remained silent, merely taking a sip of his coffee.


    K’splexion turned paler.


    How could anyone be expected to create a design sophisticated enough to secure Eva’s favor in such a short time? It seemed like an obvious setup for failure!


    Just then, the butler rushed towards them, his face etched with concern. “Ms. Shaw, there’s been an incident! The mountain road ispletely destroyed by the rain. We’re cut off. It’s unlikely the path will be cleared before noon tomorrow.”


    Eva’s eyebrow arched as she pondered the news. “Well then, it seems you three will need to stay here at the estate for the night.”


    Observing that Noah raised no objections, Eva instructed, “Please have someone prepare the guest rooms.”


    As the butler departed to follow Eva’s orders, she watched Noah and Sadie with an expressive look.


    Noah’s attention subtly drifted toward Sadie, while hepletely ignored K by his side.


    Eva was aware of the whispers suggesting K was the love of Noah’s life. However, the current dynamics hinted otherwise.


    Her interest in the real connection between Noah and Sadie deepened. All the while, Sadie was deeply engrossed in refining her design proposal, unaware of Eva’s scrutinizing eyes.
