Chapter 486
Austin looked at Keira in disbelief and asked the person on the phone, “What did you say?”
….
“Mr. Gill, we’ve been working to the bone just to collaborate with the Nora Research Institute, and since you’ve already partnered with them, why didn’t you say something earlier? The amount on the contract is only a fifty million quota per month. Could you possibly ask the client if we could have more each month? We’re open to negotiations on the price. I think the unit price on their current contract is a bit low… Mr. Gill, whom did you find at the Nora Research Institute to land this order at such a favorable price?!”
The words from the director made Austin feel like he was dreaming.
He paused, then said, “Wait. What Nora Research Institute? I have no idea what you’re talking about… Do you mean the company that signed the contract with us is the Nora Research Institute? Could there be some mistake?”
The director laughed immediately. “How could that be? It’s written on our contract; we’ve been continuously liaising about it lately. There’s no way there’s a mistake with the full name of the Nora Research Institute! They’ve even stamped their electronic seal on the contract, so there can’t be a mistake. Mr. Gill, you’ve earned your stripes for the company! Oh, did you hear what I just said? Can we increase the quota?”
Austin didn’t know what to say.
He looked blankly at Keira and asked, “Can we increase the quota?”
Keira stroked her chin. “You should discuss that with my management team. They should already be in contact with you. However, I have one condition: we must sign the contract today.”
“Right, I see.”
Austin dumbly passed the message to the director, then hung up and stared blankly at Keira again. “Why do you say the Nora Research Institute is your company? Are you… ”
He suddenly thought of the critical moment in his sister’s surgery when “Keira” entered the operating room to help. At that time, the hospital director said only Nora could save his sister…
So…
“Keira” was Nora?!
Austin felt there was something very wrong with this idea! After all, how could someone as impressive as Nora be so young?!
Keira raised an eyebrow at him, then linked arms with Lewis. “Let’s go.”
Lewis gave an indulgent smile and glanced at Austin. “Yeah, let’s.”
Austin stared at them from behind, and after a long while, he still felt like he hadn’t come to his senses.
That couldn’t be possible…
He felt as if he was dreaming!
He quickly took out his phone and called Lady Gill. “Mom, do you know? Keira is…”
Halfway through, Austin quickly lowered his voice and looked around stealthily, “She is Nora!”
“What?!”
Lady Gill exclaimed in surprise.
Hearing her astonishment, Austin suddenly felt a little less silly. Maybe he didn’t look as foolish as he just did?
…
Keira had no idea Austin had run to Lady Gill for comfort; she and Lewis left Cartier and went upstairs, planning to buy some clothes for Amy.
Keira liked several children’s garments and bought them all.
As they walked around, she suddenly pointed to the men’s section. “That suit over there looks pretty good on you.”
Upon hearing this, Lewis grew excited.
Here we go again…
Keira must be thinking of buying him clothes, and then once they’d paid, she’d say “Happy Birthday”…
He looked expectantly at Keira, “Really? Then we…”
He didn’t finish the sentence, “Let’s go in and have a look,” when he saw Keira shake her head. “No, that tie is too pretentious for someone of your cool demeanor. Let’s go somewhere else.”
Lewis said, “I think it’s quite suitable.”
Keira looked at him and said, “Are you sure?”
Lewis was perplexed.
Suddenly unsure how to respond, he fell silent for a moment, only to be dragged away by Keira. “Don’t force yourself into buying something you don’t like. We’re just window-shopping without a particular goal; that outfit doesn’t match you; forget it…”
“…”
So, she had forgotten about his birthday!
He was mad!
Lewis took a deep breath, feeling an intense suffocation in his chest, and then continued to accompany Keira through the second and third floors of the mall…
When they reached the sixth floor, they were about to have dinner, but Keira still showed no intention of buying anything for him!
Lewis coughed. “I seem to be running out of clothes to wear. Maybe you can help me pick a few later?”
Since Keira had forgotten, he had to take matters into his own hands!
But just as he said this, Keira replied, “You already stocked my house with seven or eight of the same tracksuits. How can you have nothing to wear?”
Lewis was speechless.
“I’m tired. I don’t want to shop anymore. Let’s just go have dinner!”
Lewis followed Keira into the restaurant reluctantly.
Outside the restaurant.
Austin, who had been stealthily following them, crept out from around the corner and stroked his chin.
With her identity as Nora, “Keira” didn’t need to enter into a marriage alliance.
But this gigolo was clearly after her money because he’d been so brazen about wanting a gift just now!
Moreover, Lewis’s birthday party was tomorrow, and Nora hadn’t prepared a birthday gift for her so-called “fiancé”?
Austin decided he needed to go and remind her!
