Let Me Go, Mr. Hill!

The project manager exclaimed, “It’s not that easy. Among the bidders are two listed companies, not to mention the several other companies with decades of experience in the field and numerous branches. I think Summit is probably going to be the winner of this competition.”

Catherine felt a tightening feeling in her chest.

It was not unusual that Summit was participating too. After all, big projects like this not only brought lots of profit but also honor. She had no idea which designer would represent them for this project. However, she was not concerned anyway. No one knew the designers working at Summit better than she did. Those people had plenty of experience but lacked creativity.

After a brief consideration, she said, “President Yates, we should be courageous and take on the challenge. The Culture and Technology Center will be open to the public in the future. I think we can combine both cultural aspects and science concepts into the design to give users a different experience of the future advancement.”

“Good point,” President Yates complimented. “Well, you and Henry can collaborate to work on the design. We have half a month left until the deadline. Leave the other projects aside and focus on refining this idea.”

Catherine was concerned upon hearing this.

Although they had not spent much time together, she noticed that Henry could be quite an impulsive person. He was always using the fact that he was two years her senior to criticize or give her orders when he did not have the capability to do those tasks well himself.
