His Domineering Lover
Chapter 596

"Ding."

The elevator door opened. The receptionist led Nina to Tracey's office and politely knocked on the door. "President Xia, Ms. Austin is here."

"Come in." Tracey's voice came from inside.

"Ms. Austin, please come in."

Nina entered Tracey's office. To her surprise, Tracey seemed to be drawing. "I thought you were working. Turns out you're drawing," she said in an ironic tone. Tracey did not mind her sarcasm. She cared less about what other people thought. After coloring, she put down the brush.

"Ms. Austin, nice to meet you." She got up and wiped her hands with a wet towel.

Nina walked towards her. "President Xia, actually, I learned a little about drawing. Can I have a look of it?"

She really wanted to see Tracey's work. After all, she had already regarded Tracey as her rival in love. She wanted to compare with Tracey in all aspects.

Tracey did not intend to show it to her, even though this drawing was not commercial and would only be used to design jewelry for Candy.

For designers, sketches were precious. Many designers got themselves in trouble because their drawings were leaked before the products were released. Tracey covered the drawing with a blank sheet of paper. "I'm sorry. It's a trade secret."

Nina felt a little uncomfortable. "I hear you're also a fashion designer. That's a new design you were working on, right? But didn't Adam hire you the best design team from America?"

"Are the best designers not able to meet your needs so you have to draw it yourself? Looks like business really wasted your talent for design."

Nina's words were full of sarcasm. Tracey was a bit unhappy. Did Nina come here just to judge her? Why did she call Adam by the name? Shouldn't she call him Mr. Xiao?

If Tracey didn't have a firm trust in Adam, she might have suspected that Nina had an affair with Adam.

Nina already provoked Tracey once in Paris, and now she was doing it again. Tracey believed in Adam, but she hated it when Nina mentioned him so intimately.

"Ms. Austin, you didn't come all the way from Paris to make fun of me, did you? If yes, I'll have someone make you a cup of coffee so you can talk more."

Nina was observing Tracey. She had thought a young girl like Tracey would hop madly at the irony, but Tracey didn't even change her face.

"Of course not. I came here for an important thing. Thank you for reminding me."

"Then please sit down." Tracey didn't think Nina would bring her good news.

Tracey called her secretary for coffee. Then, she said, "Ms. Austin, I'm all ears."

"Well, let me get straight to the point. Adam went to Paris with me before for an important project."

"I know." Tracey didn't usually ask about Adam's work, and they rarely talked about it when they were together.

Therefore, she was a bit surprised when Adam suddenly said he was going to Paris.

"Just a few days ago, he gave up this project for you and left Paris. He even advised me to get a new a partner," Nina got mad again at the mention of the matter.

That man was just crazy. They were so close to success and he just gave up.

"I heard that." Tracey had learned it from Adam, although he wasn't that specific.

"Do you have any idea how big this project is? It's about dozens of billions! He's been trying to get into the heavy industry in Europe. That could have been a good start, but you screwed it up!" Tracey knew it was a big project, but she didn't expect it to be this big. And it was just the beginning.

If Adam got the project, he could be the next Bill Gates! Little did she know that he had given up more for her than she had imagined.

"I'm sorry. What's done is done." Tracey did not want to explain to a stranger.

"Tracey, you know what? I'm really jealous of you. What's so great about you? What do you have besides your pretty face and your ability to work? Why does Adam love you so much?"

"I'm afraid you have to go ask him. I'm as confused as you are." Tracey had asked herself many times the same question. Why was Adam so nice to her?

Did she really deserve it? He took such good care of her that she even felt guilty.

She had met a lot of jerks. Unlike Adam, they hurt and cheated on women. Maybe she was indeed the luckiest woman.

Or maybe he was a gift from the universe, after everything she'd been through.

Tracey was being honest, but Nina looked unhappier because she thought Tracey was showing off.

"I don't care. I won't get a new partner," Nina said with a sneer.

"All the more reason for you to go to him. This is my company, not his." Tracey shrugged helplessly. Although she said so, she was sure that Nina knew it very well. "Only if he is willing to see me! I went to his house, he wouldn't answer the door. I went to his office, he shut me out and blocked my number."

Nina gnashed her teeth. In every country she'd been to, she was a catch. Men were crazy about her.

She finally fell in love with a man, but he didn't even want to see her. He acted as if she were the plague.

Didn't they say he loved making money? How could he say no to her, the money-spinner!

How could he have gotten this far if he didn't have ambition? It seemed that he will give up his career for Tracey.
