Chapter 328 The next day at the Sawyer Group, Hayley’s father, Nero, went to look for Tobias to speak about
business, as she mentioned.
When both men were chatting casually, he pretended to say unintentionally, “I heard that Nicholas has
his eyes on a project from a foreign company. It seems like it’s a project with bright prospects that many
companies are interested in.”
“That’s true,” Tobias admitted with a nod.
Nero chuckled and said, “Well, we recently found out that the managing director of that company
happens to be Hayley’s classmate.”
“Really? That’s such a wonderful coincidence.” Despite the smile on Tobias’ face, he secretly cursed,
You wily old fox.
He was aware that Nero was saying this to him on purpose, as well as the reason why he was doing this.
This wily old fox wants to create an opportunity for Hayley so that Nicholas will think highly of her.
Even so, he still made a mental note of this, and Nero didn’t continue this particular conversation after
that. After all, he should stop after making his point. Otherwise, it would seem like they were throwing

Later, after Tobias had seen Nero off, he went straight to Nicholas’ office.
Nicholas was a little surprised to see his father’s arrival in the spacious and bright president’s office.
Nevertheless, he stood up from his seat, greeted his father, and showed him to a seat on the couch.
After placing a glass of water in front of Tobias, he asked, “Why are you here, Dad?”
“There’s something I would like to discuss with you.” After taking a seat, Tobias told him his purpose for
the visit. “Earlier, Nero came over to speak about the cooperation between our families. I know that
you’re not interested in Hayley, but the business with the Stone Family has to continue.”
“I’m not against our families’ continued cooperation,” Nicholas said composedly.
“I know that you’re not against it, but I want to speak about something else.” Tobias paused for a moment
and then told him the news he had received from Nero earlier. “I know that you’re interested in a project
from a foreign company, but there hasn’t
been any progress the whole time. So, I think you should use Hayley as a bridge between your company
and that foreign company you had your eye on for a while. Then, later, ask her out for a meal when
you’re free.”
Nicholas clearly didn’t seem willing with his furrowed brows, and Tobias could see it. “I know you couldn’t
be bothered to resort to such a method, but there are quite a few companies within the country who have
their eyes on this project as well. Of course, our company has no lack of capabilities, but if it’s experience
in the industry we’re talking about, then the Sawyer Group is a newbie in this category.”

Even Nicholas had to admit that this point certainly caught his interest because the prospect of that
company’s project was very promising, but to the Sawyer Group, it was new territory. In order to obtain
that project, they had to use a different way.
As he sensed that Nicholas was a little swayed, Tobias continued, “Furthermore, the Stone Family is also
interested in this project, and they want the two families to work together. So, you don’t have to overthink
it.”
When Nicholas heard that, he agreed to it. After all, he had no reason to turn it down since it was a
cooperation with a clear-cut line between private and work affairs.
After Tobias left, Nicholas returned to his desk and contemplated before giving Tessa a video call.
“Hi, Nicholas.” Tessa was wearing pajamas on the screen, and the smile on her face was stunning and

Due to the time difference, it was already night time in Vienna.
As he saw the smile on her face, Nicholas couldn’t help but smile as well, saying gently, “What are you
doing?”
“I just washed up and am about to get into bed,” she answered truthfully and asked, “Where’s Greg?
Why isn’t he with you?”
For the past few days, when they were in a video call, Gregory would always be next to him, and she
found it a little odd that he wasn’t there now.
“He’s at home while I’m still in the office,” Nicholas explained, smiling,
“I see,” she uttered. “What time are you going home, then?” she asked.
“I’ll be meeting a client with Hayley tonight, so I’ll be going home later,” he said honestly. He didn’t want
to hide this matter from her for some unknown reason.
Tessa was quiet all of a sudden as she heard the news. “Just the both of you?” she asked, not realizing
that she sounded a little jealous.
