I decided to do my best to make this project work.
Although I had promised Seth that I would schedule my time reasonably and have a good rest.
Early the next morning, I got up at 5 a.m. and arrived at the construction site before 6 a.m.
Before all the workers could arrive, I checked all the materials and checked both the inside and outside of the construction site. Only after that was I relieved.
The whole project lasted for two and a half months.
During this period, I didn't rest once.
In summer, there was no air conditioner or fan in the studio. As I endured the heat in the studio day by day, I almost had heatstroke several times, making a herbal liquid for heat prevention an essential item in my bag.
Finally, the day of handing over the project came.
That day, Patrick, Caroline, Angie, me, Seth, and every one of the Engineering Department were all on the scene.
We inspected and checked the whole project bit by bit.
In the end, every part of the project was proved to be qualified.
I was at ease as well.
However, before we left, Caroline pulled Angie and said, "Everyone has worked hard for my studio in recent days. Let's have a meal together." After that, she looked at Seth and me, "Mr. Hyde, Charlotte, you should come as well. Patrick and I have already made a reservation."
"I'm not going. I wish everyone a good time."
I refused first.
This was a trap that Caroline had set for me. If I went with Seth, Patrick would surely find us an eyesore.
We had managed to complete this project smoothly. And I didn't like to see other issues thus caused.
After that, I turned around and was about to leave.
Caroline ran over, pulled me, and said affectionately, "Don't! Caroline. You took this project the most seriously. I heard that except sleeping, you almost spent the rest of your time here. You have to be there." "Caroline Archer, I wasn't conscientious because of you. Instead, I did so for Glorious Seth Design. What's more, don't you think it's inappropriate for you to be so close to my husband here?"
I knew that if I talked to Caroline nicely, it would only make her continue to put on a show and do something excessive.
