The email read, “Soul. That's what I need from you. I need your sincerity in design and the reflection of the Blanchet Corporation's social value and commitment to the public through the concept of the building. What I'm paying big bucks for is not just your professional skills but also your dedication, like when you designed the Crescent Building. Don't try to fool me with this hastily finished, seemingly flawless, but soulless design. I can see that your skills are top-notch, but you're not putting your heart into it.”
Ellinor was taken aback. Was she really swayed by his words?!
Indeed, she hadn't given it her all and merely relied on her readily available professional skills and exquisite craftsmanship.
The so-called sincerity, indeed, is to endow the design with a soul.
Well, if Theo was willing to pay a high price for her specifically to take on this project, even if the demands were high, it was only fair.
Ellinor replied to the email again, “Alright, I got you. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Give me some time to think about the new design; I'll make sure to deliver something that'll satisfy you.”
She didn’t get any response after that.
Ellinor propped her chin in front of the computer and was deep in thought. The previous design was scrapped and she had to start a new one from scratch. But what should be the design concept for the new headquarters of the Blanchet Corporation?
...
The next morning.
Theo specifically instructed Devin not to wake up the sleepyhead Ellinor, and he left after breakfast.
Before Ellinor woke up, the Mendoza family was already looking for her.
At the entrance of the Blanchet family's home.
