Chapter 73 Too obvious.


    After two days, Scarlett Adler’s foot had mostly healed.


    The project with the Hodges Family Group had entered the implementation phase.


    Despite her dislike for Tiana Young, Scarlett had to contact her.


    “We’vepleted the framework on our end. When would you be avable to discuss the project?” Scarlett


    messaged her directly.


    Half a day passed without a response from Tiana.


    Then, the manager called, “Ms. Adler, how is it going with the Hodges Family?”


    “No reply yet,” Scarlett answered.


    “Oh no, if we deliverte, we’ll have to pay penalties,” Manager Yan said.


    Scarlett thought for a moment. “I’ll call her and follow up.”


    “Good, I’m leaving this in your hands,” the manager said before hanging up.


    Scarlett considered it and then dialed Tiana Young’s number.


    It rang a few times before she picked up.


    “Hello, what is it?” Tiana asked directly.


    “Regarding the project, our framework is almostplete. We need to meet with you soon,” Scarlett Adler


    said.


    “I’m at the hospital right now. I don’t have time,” Tiana Young replied.


    “But we have to meet, or we’ll bete on delivery,” Scarlett Adler insisted.


    “That doesn’t seem to be my problem, does it?” Tiana Young asked.


    “If Ms. Young refuses to meet, I’ll go directly to Hugo Hodges,” Scarlett Adler said, about to hang up.


    “Wait,” Tiana Young said quickly.


    Hugo Hodges was indeed her lifeline.


    “Is there anything else?” Scarlett Adler asked.


    “I’m really at the hospital and don’t have time. How about I arrange someone to connect with you?” she offered.


    “Arrange it immediately. If we’re dyed, I’ll go straight to Hugo Hodges.”


    “Scarlett Adler, don’t threaten me.”


    “It’s not a threat, just a reminder.” With that, Scarlett Adler hung up.


    < Chapter 73 Too obvious.


    Now, Tiana Young must be even more nervous than she was.


    Sure enough, Scarlett Adler’s phone rang a momentter. It was a message from Tiana Young.


    “I’ve already arranged it. You’ll meet with Hodges Family Group tonight. The assistant manager will personally negotiate with you.”


    Scarlett Adler raised an eyebrow and simply replied with two words, “Okay.”


    As long as it wasn’t Tiana Young, Scarlett was confident that she could keep the project moving forward


    smoothly.


    And not having to face her made Scarlett feel particrly good.


    At that moment, East Hayes walked over and asked, “How did it go?”


    “We’re meeting with Hodges Family Group tonight,” Scarlett said.


    “Why at night?” East Hayes asked.


    If Scarlett wasn’t mistaken, scheduling it at night would prevent her from running into Hugo Hodges.


    She didn’t want to guess Tiana Young’s intentions, but sometimes they were too obvious.


    Seeing Scarlett remain silent, East Hayes asked, “Could it be that Tiana Young arranged it specifically?”


    “Don’t expose the obvious,” Scarlett warned.


    East Hayes chuckled, “So, are you still going?”


    “What do you think? If I don’t go, are you going to handle the confrontation?” Scarlett Adler retorted.


    East Hayes smiled, “I just wanted to make sure you were going. What if you were too embarrassed?”


    Scarlett Adler gave him a slight smile. “When ites to life, embarrassment doesn’t exist. And as long as I’m not embarrassed, it’s the other person who feels awkward.”


    “Profound,” East Hayes said, giving her a thumbs-up.


    Scarlett Adler looked away, not bothering to respond, and continued working.


    East Hayes smiled and walked away.


    Meanwhile, knowing that Scarlett Adler was going to the Hodges Family Group to discuss the project that


    evening, Tiana Young was determined not to let them meet.


    Young’s father’s surgery had been sessful, and he would be discharged in a few days. The weight in her heart had finally lifted.


    Even if Scarlett Adler wasn’t going to thepany, she had nned to meet with Hugo Hodges in the next few days. But now, she might have to move her ns forward. Thinking about this, Tiana…


    Tiana Young called Hugo Hodges directly.

    “Hugo, are you free tonight?” she asked.


    “What’s up?”

    “I mentioned a few days ago that I wanted to talk to you about something. I’d like to meet up tonight,” Tiana


    said.

    “Alright, send me the location,” Hugo replied.


    “Okay, see you tonight then.”


    “Yeah,” Hugo hung up.


    Tiana held her phone, thinking for a long time. She knew that someone had to break the ice.


    If he wasn’t going to do it, she was willing to be the one.

    Now, she wasn’t doing it for anything else but to have the right to stand by Hugo’s side openly.


    She didn’t want to wait any longer.


    With that thought, Tiana turned and went into the hospital room. Looking at Audrey Bet, Tiana said, “Mom, I have something to take care of today, so I might note to the hospital tonight. I’ll leave Dad in


    your care.”


    Hearing this, Audrey smiled and said, “Don’t worry, your dad is fine now. No need to keep running back and


    forth. Go take care of your own things.”


    Tiana Young nodded. “Then I’ll go back and pack.”


    Audrey Bet looked at her, signaling her toe outside for a quick chat.


    The mother and daughter walked out together.


    In the hallway, Audrey Bet looked her daughter up and down, then smiled. “You’ve lost weight and look pale these past few days because of your father’s situation. Go back, freshen up, and look more energetic.


    Mom believes you’ll seed.”


    Tiana Young was a little surprised. Indeed, the person who understood her best in this world was her mother. Even if she didn’t say anything, her mother could guess what she was thinking.


    “Mom…” Tiana Young was still a bit shy.


    “Actually, it doesn’t matter who brings it up first. The most important thing is whether he has feelings for


    you.”


    “I’m quite worried…” Tiana Young said.


    Audrey Bet thought for a moment. “Men are simple. Use a few tricks. I don’t think Hugo Hodges is the


    irresponsible type. Besides, my daughter is so beautiful; it’s impossible for him not to be attracted to you.”


    Tiana Young looked at Audrey Bet.


    Her mother smiled slightly. “Go on, Mom is waiting for your good news.”


    “Okay.” Tiana Young nodded, got up, and left.


    Back at home, Tiana Young headed straight for the bathroom.


    After a quick shower, shey in the bathtub, soaking and reying Audrey Bet’s words in her mind.


    The more she thought, the more confused and worried she became.


    Finally, she got up and stepped out of the tub, standing naked in front of the mirror. Looking at her reflection, she realized Audrey’s words made a lot of sense.


    With men, sometimes you can’t rely on sincerity alone; you need to use some tactics.


    With that thought, she picked up her phone and sent a message to Hugo Hodges.


    “Hugo, I suddenly feel a bit unwell. Can youe over to my ce today?” After sending the message, she


    looked at herself in the mirror and began to wash up and get dressed.


    Even though this was a bit risky, she didn’t regret it.


    As long as Hugo Hodges could be her man.
