Chapter 1403 Meeting Nigel’s Parents
The meeting room instantly descended into an uproar. They never expected that they could take down a project worth many billions so easily! It was beyond their imaginations!
“Nigel, you don’t have to agree so quickly. You can take a good look at our capabilities before making that decision,” Brandon said out of guilt since he thought it was Queenie who had been pressuring him.
Smiling, Nigel looked at the highly capable woman beside him and assured him, “Mr. Silverstein, I highly approve of your company and believe that you do have the capability to rise to the occasion.”
It won’t matter if you don’t because we’re all family.
“Dad, I’ll leave the rest of the meeting to you and bring Nigel to my office.”
“Sure, go ahead!” Brandon nodded, not expecting them to reconcile just after one night.
Once Nigel and Queenie left, cheers filled the entire meeting room. The higher-ups were elated and more certain about Silverstein Enterprise’s future development. With such a huge backer, Silverstein Enterprise would definitely have an optimistic destiny!
On the other side, there were still traces of a young woman’s aura inside Queenie’s office. Seeing the blue couch, Nigel comfortably sat down while she poured him a cup of water before joining him.
“How about I treat you to lunch? To thank you for giving my dad such a huge project.” She offered.
With narrowed eyes, Nigel reasoned, “He’s your dad now and he will be my father-in-law soon. We’re going to be family, so why the formalities?”
A blushing Queenie had no choice but to accept his justification. Indeed, there’s no need to be so formal with him.
“Miss Silverstein, are you feeling better now that you’ve taken down a huge project? Are you still mad?” he asked with a smile.
Meanwhile, she was secretly rejoicing. Thank goodness, we reconciled so quickly.
“Don’t lie to me again. If you dare to do it, I won’t ever forgive you,” she warned.
Having discovered her character, Nigel promised sincerely, “I won’t.”
With a light snort, Queenie riposted, “Who knows? After all, I’m not that important to you, and even without me, there’d still be many women eager to run into your arms.”
He embraced her with a stretch of his long arm and retaliated nervously, “Who said that? Besides you, I won’t be interested in anyone else.”
Obediently leaning against his chest, she discovered that his heart was beating quicker than earlier; it was obvious that her words had frustrated him.
“Alright, then. This matter is now over, so let’s not mention it again.” As Queenie snuggled in his embrace, she realized that she was overly enraged last night, which led her to overthink the situation.
“Would you like to come to my house for dinner tonight? I’ll introduce my parents to you.” Nigel decided to speed things up since he had not thoroughly considered it previously. He merely wanted to hide his relationship so that they could date in peace, but now, it seemed that he was wrong about that.
“Tonight? I’m nervous.” Queenie immediately sat up. “Are your parents nice to talk to?”
“Of course! I’m sure they’ll want me to marry you immediately after they meet you,” he assured her with a smile.
Hearing that, she blushed as she shrank her neck. “What? No way!”
“They have been pestering me to get married for a long time now and they’re worried I might not be able to find a wife! I didn’t bring you back home before because I was afraid that they might scare you away with their enthusiasm.”
Queenie burst out laughing. “How could they be worried about you not finding a wife? You’re such an excellent person.”
After sighing, Nigel explained, “Maybe because I was waiting for you.”
Tears welled up in her eyes as she suddenly felt grateful to Bonnie for stealing Leslie. Otherwise, she would have missed an amazing man like Nigel because of the marriage her family had promised.
However, she still felt that she was not fully prepared to meet his parents, so Nigel did not pressure her on that. Anyway, his parents would not arrange any more blind dates for him now that they knew he had a girlfriend.
On the other hand, Brandon was also delighted by today’s event. It was the first time he had landed such a large project with such ease! Moreover, he had just witnessed his daughter’s confidence and thought that if he handed over the company to her, she would be able to make the right decisions and seize the chance to push the company to greater heights.
